DAY6 (데이식스) - You Were Beautiful (예뻤어) M/V

The second installment of DAY6′s year-long project is here and once again, they’re out to pull on our heartstrings. You Were Beautiful is a lot more mellow than I Wait and it drips melancholy in all 4:45 mins of the song and you will feel every minute of it. 

We have Jae starting off the song again and everyone’s singing is excellent as usual. I especially love how their voices are more emphasized/made to stand out more in this arrangement because you can hear every bit of emotion they’re conveying in the song. 

As for the MV itself, I love the shots of the boys. Everything’s visually pleasing actually. Plus, Dowoon has more screen time here (YAY!!!) But I honestly didn’t expect that plot twist and I feel foolish for not recognizing the girl initially in the teaser (hairstyles can really do so much lol). This is in fact the continuation of their Congratulations MV, their debut song and boy, OH BOYYYY, my feels are running amok. I thought she looked familiar but everything fell into place when Wooshik appeared. 

I can’t believe there was even a hint that this is going to be related to Congratulations! In the photos below, you can see she received an e-mail but from two different people. The first row photos are from the teaser and it says “DAY6″ was the sender while on the bottom row, the sender is “Choiu6″ and those caps were taken from the MV. Now analyzing this, “Choiu6″ is actually “Choi Woo Shik”, the actor who plays the cheated on boyfriend in the Congrats MV!!

After their break-up, Wooshik sent her a compilation video of their moments together – moments that when he looks back at, are nothing but memories from a tale in the past. The lyrics describe what she was like when they were together and even after a painful parting, he still remembers her as someone who was beautiful. There is no remorse nor longing. 

If we were to map out all their MVs thus far, Congratulations is the breakup, “what the hell, how could you do that?” stage; Letting Go is the reminiscing, “I’m hurt but I know I have to let you go for you to be happy” stage; I Wait is the desperation stage, hanging on to the last shreds of hope that they could still be together, but also perfectly knowing that the waiting and being left with no assurance is causing suffocation, pain, and unhappiness; leaving us now to You Were Beautiful, wherein he sent that video to finally say, “it was good while it lasted but I’m putting all of those behind me now. I’m done. Goodbye.” 

Young K is behind the lyrics again which makes me wonder what exactly did he go through or what inspired him to churn out such heart-wrenching words? Whatever it is, there’s no doubt that he’s a musical genius. Many of their songs are good mood-lifters but those that are about heartbreaks really pierce through you as well. You relate a lot and put yourself in the song’s scenario even if you had not even experienced a breakup ever (or is that just me? lol).

Now that the storyline of Congratulations found its closure (after almost 2 years!!), can we expect a happier, more lively song in March? Because honestly, I don’t know if my heart can handle any more heartbreaking songs from DAY6 ( ;;; —— ;;; ) But I’m not opposing any song they come out with because I’m here to appreciate their music and so far, I can confidently say that although there will be things that can and will disappoint you in this world, trust that DAY6′s music will never.
