Without you...

2pm's latest single titled "Without you".

Can relate to this song to a T, at this point of time.... Love the piano parts with the catchy electronic beats in the background. The dance was abit funny-looking but catchy as usual, the "sliding" step was suave! Watch the mtv, it reminds me of the "heartbeat" mtv, just much more darker with the black rain falling.

Black, my fave color. Rain, my fave emo weather.
And who is that doing that famous move of throwing his shirt onto the ground? *grins*

Highlights:
Beginning rap part
I'm gonna get stronger

right, its better to be separated. Anyways I knew at some point you and I
would have had this situation. I definitely know you would have done this
instead of that, its better to be me right now
after I was in deep love I knew
I'm relieved I knew about this. That's why I'm ok

Chorus
I'm gonna be ok (gonna be ok)
I'll be ok (gonna be ok)
Baby without you, baby without you.

Mid-song rap part
Listen, everything happens for a reason, everything happens for a reason.
That doesn't even make sense, obviously what you said is gonna be proved wrong, so just turn around.
It really hurts me to see you, I want to stop.

Bridge
Why did you do this to me (why)
Seriously why did you do this to me (made me cry)
You threw away everything we have had, was everything we did actually valuable?
The times we had together, the times we could have had together
Aren't you even sad about it? Do you not care?
Right now are you, are you ok without me?



2PM New Release Mini Album: Don't Stop Can't Stop

Yes, they have finally released another mini album. And yes, I am finally updating my blog here again. *Phew* =\ Believe me, I wish I can update it more often. But the past few months have been hellish. Hell-ish, emotionally and physically.

Frankly I have so much to say, to the point I don't know where to start. Should I be talking about what's happening with me lately? Or should I start by telling the story from the start, or my comments on certain things in the world revolving around me? Ok let me re-organize. This post shall be about 2PM updates yah? =) Since the title involves 2PM's new mini album. I will group and prioritize the rest into further posts. (Yay!! Massive update of the blogz. =p)

2PM is my fave korean boyband, ever since last November. I can see the "good-ness" in almost every 2PM members. Goodness such as the purpose of them being in the group. I don't know if I'm too engrossed with work / business stuff recently, but it is true that everyone contributes to the success of a group, be it popbands, organization, community. In each and small little way, everyone counts. Without anyone, the group would not fail / fall, but there would definitely be a change or impact to the future of the group, how it works and what's gonna happen for them. Each of them were there for a purpose, to fill in the gaps that the rest could not fulfill. Talk about good marketing techniques. :)

So you can imagine my disappointment when leader Jay Park left the group. Initially, it was due to some comments he wrote in his mySpace blog, which I feel shouldn't be the main reason for him to leave. But it was due to this incident, which probably made him realise something, that this is not for him. Or a mistake in the past was even far worse greater reason for him to leave. Whatever it is, it is his decision and others should try to respect that. The poor guy has made a decision to leave, let him stick to it and get on with his life. I know everyone wants him back, myself too, but if he has made a decision, let's not try to make things difficult for him. As long as he's happy, all is well.

Same goes for the rest of the members in 2PM. They have moved on, releasing this new mini album. They still go on with their tour dates. In fact, they should move on. If they don't, it is not even logical. Do some fans think that with Jay gone, the whole band should just stop there or disband? No way... c'mon, everyone worked hard. They've come to this stage, it is so much easier to just walk away from it all and disband the whole thing. But it takes alot of strength and effort to continue walking the line. To work even harder to prove to their fans they will continue to make good music, dance and entertainment. So let's give them the credit for that yah? (Even though I'm starting to feel a little annoyed with some of the stronger characters in this group. But I'm sure they have their own reasons behind it. They care, which is probably why they are portrayed as angrier. Different people respond differently to let-downs. Some get sad, emo, some get angry. It is a cycle of emotions. Some people feel angry first... as time goes by, they get sad. Some sad initially, then the more they think about it, the angrier they get. But eventually, people look back and all these form impressionable memories. Pretty sure a few years down the road, nobody will even remember or mind what had happened. Who knows they may get back together eventually 1 day and laugh it off together? Just cherish what they have got currently, because once it is gone, it is gone.)

As for their new songs titled "Don't Stop Can't Stop" and "Without You", it is obvious they are trying to portray where they stand, with Jay leaving. Frankly we will never know the real reason that caused him to leave, unless he announces or declares it. So I would say, good marketing and sharp creativity skills coming from JYP, on producing these two songs to be covered-up as a "break-up" in romantic terms. But you and I know, the song could so easily be symbolic of Jay's incident.

So enjoy the first song from the album: Don't Stop Can't Stop.
Strong feelings depicted here, which boosts my morale up this morning, while listening to it on the way to work. Let it burn, i'm gonna be stronger... ironically, it is like how my msn nick is sometimes: Motto motto tsuyoi (extracted from Clare in Claymore).

So we don't stop, can't stop, until we reach the top!!!
