— songs i’ve listened to so far and my thoughts on them:
“비가 내리면” (2011)
so good! it has elements which make you want to dance, but at the same time the song sounds very sad, very bittersweet i’d say.
“옛생각” (2017)
not going to lie, the beginning sounds like a spotify ad 😭
“i don’t think i’m ready for this shit” so true, i’m not ready either.
personally not my taste, but i really like the pre-chorus, the buildup.
“for you” (2013)
it has this signature sound from the 2010s, it brings me nostalgia i’ve never experienced, tbh.
the second the first note played it had sounded so sad :( 
i really like brave girls’ raps, they embed it into their songs so well, no matter how slow and sad the song may be.
this is definitely going to my cry playlist, imagine it being a rainy day, feeling sad and listening to this. pain
“하이힐” (2016)
FUCK? this is so good. judging by the lyrics, it sounds like a confidence boosting song, i love it!
the RAP i’m fucking obsessed.
i absolutely adore the instrumental, you can hear drums, some rock guitar here and there and the kind of JAZZ after the chorus? perfection.
i’m not a fan of the chorus but it’s very easy to get stuck in your head, i’m already singing along to “high heel, high heel”
“요즘 너” (2012)
the beat i’m once again obsessed.
i love this genre of kpop that went around in the early 2010s, the lyrics being quite melancholic, wanting someone to come back but also having this easily obsessive beat, which makes you jiggle your ass to someone missing their lover, haha
the BRIDGE is once again perfect, what kpop song would be a 2010s song without the severe autotune with crappy english lyrics, safe to say i’m obsessed.
“hands up high” yes queen! *raises my hands*
“rollin” (2017)
i got so excited, i can’t skip this 😭
honestly i’m so happy for brave girls, rising to fame, being able to perform again, gain a following again! after everything they’ve been through, they deserve it and so much more.
the chorus dance is so easy to follow, i make it my job to always dance to it whenever i hear it.
the RAP after the first chorus, ahh i love it so much
and don’t even get me started on the high note? sing it bestie!!!
the buildup to the final chorus after the bridge, it just makes me so happy because of how well sung it is 😭 ahh i love brave girls :(
“whatever” (2016)
not my style, but it’s cunty so i’ll let it slide 🙄
honestly it sounds like a nct song redone for a girl group, but it’s better than anything that group will ever release so.
i imagine myself getting ready to this and feeling good though.
always remember to girlboss, ladies!
“유후 (우린 아직 여름)” (2016)
i! love! upbeat! songs! like! this!
it’s an instant mood boost, i’m already smiling and feeling so much happier!
it gives me island by izone vibes, it just makes me feel good, yk. makes me want to dance and jump around, spread positive energy around. ☀️
i’m so obsessed with brave girls’ bridges, they build up so well, it leaves you anticipating for that final banger chorus <3
this song makes me happy!!! definitely one of my favs out of the ones i’ve listened to so far
“help me” (2016)
another upbeat yet melancholic song! i love this genre so much 😭
bg songs are always so easy to dance to, it makes you want to dance along with no worries or care in the world.
i can’t wait to play this song in the summer late at night while walking around in the park with your friends, it would suit that vibe so much <3
also! this song would fit izone’s jo yuri’s voice so much, i’ll now never shut up about a cover from her 😭
the lyrics make tears well up in my eyes, it portrays a person yearning for their past love, yet they can’t do anything about it. all they can do is reminiscence moments together and think of what could have been.
yet, at the same time, the character has healed and is ready to reach out again. they’re not afraid of facing the past and mend their relationship.
i want to experience this kind of love, to be honest. what’s it like falling in love, thinking you’ll forever be in the embrace of the person you think is the most special in the world, just to fall apart and think of them as a memory you don’t want to face because of how much it hurts? what’s it like healing and wanting to see them again? reach out to them? seeing them with someone new and being able to do nothing about it. how much must that hurt, despite telling yourself you’re okay?
relying on fate and coincidence to bring you and the soul of who you loved most, she must have loved them so dearly. thinking of whether they’re doing well or not, this all hurts.
this song is truly a story so beautiful, i love jieun so much. 😭
