The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down
(This is not related to the book with the same title. This is how interpret the sentence in my own opinion)
I was watching Crush commentary video with the director for OHIO MV. I catched by the moment when he told the audience how he and the director cried while filming the MV. How they being indulged in their own emotion that time. This kind of experience happen in any form of art producing process is something that I envy about. How director told us every meaning of some mv’s scenes and crush being so detail with his emotion in order to deliver his lyrics to his listeners.
People like me mostly hard to describe what we feel. We often trapped with emotional distress such as loneliness, disappointment, longing, etc. Sometimes, we find it hard to understand because we trapped in the stigma that people releasing emotion is weak. We end up being upset to ourselves for no reason. Therefore, listen to some of crush’s song, for me personally, somehow makes me understand some of the moment in life where I find it difficult to express. In my opinion, artists are gifted with the power to make people like me going slow down for a bit. Help me to understand what I’m feeling. Appreciate myself for being me. Teach me how to empathize with others might feel as well.
And after that video ends, I watch Crush’s commentary album video with Mr. yoo hee yeol. Mr yoo hee yeol said something related to Crush’s music development. How Crush develop from a vocalist, a rapper to someone with complete abilities as an artist. His producing, harmonizing and mixing skill. I can’t agree more. First time I listen to crush is his song feat taeyeon of SNSD called “Don’t Forget”. I’m in love with the lyrics and his voice. And I start to listen his former works so I listen to Just (feat Zion T), oasis, hug me and sofa. From that point, I find myself start to anticipate his comeback. Wondering what his next album/single.
Back to Mr yoo hee yeol’s credit, I personally love to watch development process. Anything. for example, when I see a child, what comes to my mind is “It would me a pleasant memory for me if I pay attention to his/her growth process” This idea also occur in term of my favorite musicians. Like Crush and Zico. Once I saw Zico’s interview when he said that he felt grateful from people’s opinion about his recent new album Thinking. Like adolescent try to figure out what they want to become. I watch their music grow like that. This year they start to bloom with their recently discovered style and as a fan I’m really happy watch them enjoy and satisfied with people’s response to their music. And this process really get me keep anticipate their music in the future.
And last, I would like to say thanks to Crush and Zico while watching their music grow, I find myself grow too. This wouldn’t happen if I’m not slowing down for a moment to listen your music. Let’s grow and bloom for the next 100 years. Hope universe grant a chance for you guys to read this. Hope this would give you guys strength :)
