I don't have much to say about these guys except they rock awesomely. The song I'm focusing on this week is one of their latest music videos called Dream Girl. The video for this song is kind of strange and very unique, but it exhibits SHINee's original unique style quite well. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Below are the lyrics*:
SHINee's back
When it started is not important
I only see the perfect you in my eyes
In this gray world, only your red lips shine
The moment I try to kiss your lips
I wake from my dream
Your face is still so clear
The heat of your hand that I held is still warm
You come to me at night but disappear in the morning
I can't just let you go like this every day
Baby I know this is all a dream but
Baby oh please don't leave me
Dream girl
Seems like I can touch you but I can't
Dream girl
Every night I wait for you like this
Dream girl
You sweetly whisper love to me
Then you disappear in the morning, dream girl
Hold on for a moment, this isn't a dream
That dazzling smile, that's definitely you
My heart makes me go after you in secret
The moment you turn the corner, you disappear like a dream
Your face in my dream is the same every night
It feels like I should go a little closer to you now
But you only give me a slight smile and disappear like that
I can't just let you go like this every day
Baby I know this is all a dream but
Baby oh please don't leave me
Dream girl
Seems like I can touch you but I can't
Dream girl
Every night I wait for you like this
Dream girl
You sweetly whisper love to me
Then you disappear in the morning, dream girl
I'm afraid of the days without you (although I'll forget when tomorrow comes)
I try holding onto you earnestly, but without any promises you leave me
The feeling of seeing your eyes, your lips - you're so beautiful
I can't take my eyes off of you for a moment
No words can take anything away from you
From your head to your toes, you're the one and only girl
From one to a hundred, I treat you gently
The day you choose me is when the world stops
You're my world
Dream girl
Seems like I can touch you but I can't
Dream girl
Every night I wait for you like this
Dream girl
You sweetly whisper love to me
Then you disappear in the morning, dream girlDream girl
Seems like I can touch you but I can't
Dream girl
Every night I wait for you like this
Dream girl
Remember our love
When the night grows deep, she finds me, dream girl
So upon rereading the lyrics to this song, I'm reminded that oftentimes, songs like this sound way cooler in Korean - mostly because when they're in Korean I can't understand them (at least not immediately). I do think it's kinda funny that this song is mostly about a woman that either doesn't exist or she does exist, but she's untouchable.
I mentioned previously that the music video for this song is quite unique. I mean that in one of the best ways possible. It's very...interesting. There's a lot of flashy colors and effects and all kinds of cool stuff, which fits the song very well, since it's a rock-pop-ish kind of song (actually it's pretty much solid pop, but I don't care - I don't really pay much attention to genres anyway).
I do have one note, however. I want to find the person or people that made the choices regarding wardrobe for the five guys in this video. What on earth possessed you to put THOSE colors together in THAT way?! In what universe does that look okay? Not good, but even okay?! I do not understand that. Now, I mean this in the most facetious of ways, because no matter what they're wearing, these guys are still awesome. It's just in this particular video...wow.
Anywho, aside from the atrocious wardrobe they have going, this video rocks pretty awesomely. Take that together with the fact that the song also rocks and you've got yourself a chart-topping single. Here's to all the wonderful SHINee singles and whatnot to come.
P.S. Seriously though, dude - why sunflowers?
