Small Kpop MV review: Big Bang - Blue

"I'm singing my blues"

I'm really not going to get tired of this song, ever!! I really love it. As you all know, Big Bang are having their comeback after all the bad stuff that happened to the band. I'm really happy to see Daesung being OK and smiling like he always did before the car accident, and GD suprresing the marijuana scandal. Like they said on "Healing camp", these bad things made the band even more united than before.

 

 Basically, you can feel the sorrow in the melody, the lyrics and how the music video was filmed. Sure, the song is not exactly about the problems they have been through, but you can feel all the sadness they have felt during that time. The melody is really calming, like the boys are tying to tell us, their fans, that they are ok and that we should not be afraid of them falling apart and that the band won't disband anytime soon.

The lyrics are really cool. From the beginning they are talking about the winter that passed (well, more like it's about to pass) and that spring comes ("The winter had passed and the spring has come"), meaning they did manage to move on, even if their hearts are still bruised ("And our hearts are bruised from longing"). If you think about it, during the winter most of the animals are either hibernating or have left to warm countries, the plants look like lifeless, but then spring comes and everything comes back to life. This is what happened to Big Bang. They went through hard times, they meditate about what happened, and now they are coming back, full of life.

If you look on the internet, you will see that "Blues" means, among others, "A feeling of sadness or depression" and "One's particular life experience, particularly including the hardships one has faced". So, from the start this song is meant to talk about hardships. In other words, for someone who just started to listen to Big Bang, this song will be just another song about the loss of the loved one, but for the fans, this has a total different meaning.

All in all, even if it's a sad song, I'm glad they choosed this as the first song to be promoted, and I can't wait for the other songs to be released.
