Listened to old BTS songs, from the HYYH full album and also Wings, and I’m like. Oh, i like these ones best because every other song has a violin (or more than one) doing a melody underneath. And it gives these songs a very unique feel? To be fair I haven’t listened to anything beyond shadow: interlude and black swan (orchestral version) and ON lol and I mean that from 7 I listened to those three on repeat, did once the rest and proceeded to forget about the album. Until like, yesterday didn’t even notice there was an album after that. I don’t like very much the new style? But I tend to go or for ballads or for angsty, so yeah Wings and LY: Tear (plus songs form the HYYH era) is both when I started listening to their music and where I stayed lmfao. Also those videos are the prettiest? Not the most elaborate or anything, but very nostalgic and/or gothic.
PD: I welcome other music recomendations based on this. I find kpop to be way too dense to start listening without at least some sense about the artists and the songs.I’ll add the next ones when the last episodes will come out. Until then, enjoy reading a lot of love lyrics… (And omg some of them, those lyrics. Someone more talented than me, please do a little meta? XD) Anyway, here it is:

Amaral is my favourite Spanish artist, and her songs have been in my life as long as I can remember. Here are the lyrics for this one, the title track of her album of the same name Hacia lo salvaje (2011). I’ve translated them myself to the English; enjoy!!
Uuuh uh uh uuuh...
Ella fue la primera She was the first
De sus hermanasof her sisters
En huir to runaway
De la casa que la vió nacer From the house that saw her be born
Hacia lo salvaje Towards the wild
Cada dia era un regalo each day was a gift
Libre, de sol a sol… Free from sun to sun (aclaration: like free every day)
La montaña fue su salvación The mountain was her salvation
Y entre las hienas se crió And between the hyenas she was raised
Y en los árboles escucha And in the trees she hears
voces de tiempos remotos voices of ancient times
Ha elegido caminar… Hacia lo salvaje. She has chosen to walk… towards the wild
Uuuh uh uh uuuh…
“No teneis ni idea You (pl. and inform.) don’t have any idea
De lo alto Of how high
Que puedo volar" I can fly
Sentenció con un portazo, She sentenced with a slam to the door,
No la vieron They don’t saw her
Nunca más. Ever again.
Cada golpe que le dieron era una cuenta atrás... Each hit that they give her was a countdown
Y ahora corre hacia el bosque, su fortaleza, su nuevo hogar And now she runs to the forest, her fortification, her new home
Y en los árboles escucha And in the trees she hears
voces de tiempos remotos... voices of ancient times....
Ha elegido caminar… She has chosen to walk...
Hacia lo salvaje. Towards the wild
Uuuh uh uh uuuh…
Ha elegido caminar (x2) She has chosen to walk
Hacia lo salvaje. Towards the wild.
Ha elegido caminar (x2) She has chosen to walk
Hacia lo salvaje. (x4) Towards the wild
