I’ve been away from Chill Music Stash for such a long time,
and I’m very sorry. It’s been pretty
hectic here, what with me moving in with a bunch of friends and having more of
a crazy schedule than usual, and then I was sick, had a trip to L.A. to see VIXX,
and then Thanksgiving, which was fabulous.
Thanks for asking ;)
But I’m back now. And
I wanted to come back with a very chill Bang.
And by bang, I don’t mean bang at all, actually. I heard this song today and I just HAD to
post about it.
It helps that this song is perfect for the gloomy ish type
of day the weather decided to give me.
This song is “Be my Love” by Shayne. Let’s start out with this: I have never heard
of Shayne, but I am also fairly new to the Korean Indie/Chill Music scene. And it looks like, from the comments below
the video, that Shayne has been around for at least longer than this one song.
Next, I must comment on this—because I have my Bachelor
Degree in English, I very much appreciate the usage of “love” in the
title. I’ve seen too many shortenings
(he could have made it: “B My Luv,” which would have turned me off the song),
and… just ridiculous words that aren’t even words in titles of songs, and that
no longer appeals to me, if it ever did.
Thank you!!
I am deeply sorry that I chose just an audio track to
comment on instead of a song and a video, but I just HAD to, because this song
is just so ADORABLE!!
The song starts out with an accordion-sounding thing, and an
acoustic guitar, with this harmony of voices singing to you, “I need your
love!” Okay, really, the beginning is a
tiny bit much for me, and I would have not thought it fit the song, except the
harmonies are in the chorus too. After
that very first bit, which totally sounds like the opening to some cheesy
romantic comedy, the song turns into this ridiculously awesome chill but still
peppy song. His voice is sweet and
mellow, and I can only think of “adorable,” really.
With this song, I kind of have a visual in my head of him
singing and walking in a jaunty/bouncy manner down a clean, sunshiny street and
singing into the camera as he passes cute houses in the suburbs. Just being a cutie—dressed in, oh, I don’t
know, a pastel pink shirt with tan trousers held up by pink and white striped
suspenders; red plaid bowtie and a plaid cap.
Seriously, this just popped into my head! Now, try imagining that as he’s walking
toward the camera and smiling and singing.
No aegyo for the camera, because this song is just that touch more
serious than a super cutesy ballad.
I will definitely be listening to more Shayne—I adore his
style and his voice. Of course, this
could be the only song I like of his, too, which would be a huge bummer. If you haven’t heard it yet, you should give
“Be My Love” a try J Perfect for any type of day you’re having—if
you need a pick-me-up, or if you’re completely happy.
Have a great week listening to your chill music, and I’ll be
seeing you next time!! :D
