TY OP. <3

I've listened to it going to c/p what I said in the last post:

As weird as it might sounds this album feels the way I would describe Jjong to others. like the way I see him as a person/his personality. The colour of the songs and vibe of it just feels 100% how I see him.

And I would say that, I think, regardless of if he was here or not.

I was so hesitant about listening to it but I'm really idk relieved and glad that I did. Even without understanding the lyrics (I think I'll leave it as this warm positive feeling for a bit and look up translations in a few weeks).

I can see why they wanted to put this out in the world so soon. Hopefully it brings others comfort when they feel up to listening to it.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

Very up in my feelings rn but I hope that if you haven't listened to it and aren't sure if you should or can that it's really representative of his work so far and something to be proud of as a fan of his.

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

i just finished listening to the album and i am genuinely in love w every song. i cried while listening to shinin' but as i progressed through the album i began to feel more peaceful? in a way. this is really the best gift. i'm glad sm released this and that the proceeds from the album will be going to his mom. i can't wait to have the physical copy in my hands.

i feel very emotionally ready to watch the music video now but i know i'll cry again.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

i feel exactly the same as you do and I understand why he wanted it to come out now and why his mom agreed to have it released. <3 he did such a good job on this one.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

I'm not ready to listen to his voice again, but I hope this album brings some type of comfort for everyone. the message in the cover... <3

[bea-chan22.livejournal.com]

I'm speechless on this album, it's just beautiful. Somehow, he kept it upbeat as a send-off to us... that's how I thought about it.

Virtual hugs to everyone. It's ok if you still cannot listen to his voice; there's no right way to process your grief. And make sure to take care of yourselves.

[joyseul.livejournal.com]

i got through about a song and a half of this before i had to stop. it wasn't that i felt sad listening to the music, but it still doesn't feel right. i'm still glad for the album's release, although personally it felt too soon. i do hope that people can find healing in his new music, and have it be a reminder that his work will be here for us forever. i'm not sure when i'll be ready to try listening to this again but in the meantime i'll be listening to his previous releases, like i've slowly been able to in the past week or so. you've worked so hard, jonghyun. ♡

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

take care of yourself <3 like you said, it'll be there when you find your way to it.

c/p from the other post:

im listening to it on spotify rn and i like what i hear so far. i havent really listened to any of jonghyuns solo releases so far, but im pleasantly surprised.

it feels so weird to listen to his voice. i just... try not to think about the fact that he's not here anymore.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

OK can we talk about REWIND????? what kind of flawless bop is this???

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

i'll probably post about each song but omg i'm loving the beat to sightseeing, ughhh imagine how amazing it would have sounded live with a band behind him. his voice is so damn good! he really did an amazing job.

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

I’m on Just For a Day right now. Rewind, sightseeing, and grease are my fave tracks so far. There is so much variety yet its so cohesive so far. He did such a good job

i'm streaming the songs rn

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

REWIND!


What.....I'm just so pleased with all of this.

whatever you do time is up.

[accioanime.livejournal.com]

the first sound of his voice in the first video was jarring... like, he sounds so alive, so vibrant? hard to describe... it gets better as you go through the whole album.

[kokothot.livejournal.com]

11/11 songs are bops

Rewind is THAT bop!

Take The Dive and Before Our Spring.... ;_;

[greasetastic-x.livejournal.com]

i am so happy that I bought a physical copy of this album.
Listening to him sing has actually brought me a lot of comfort during my healing process. He really just had a gift. I really love him


edit: I made it through the album and the mv perfectly fine. now my mind is racing and i'm in tears again. I miss him and I wish he was still here.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

<3 <3 <3 I miss him, too

Lyrics of Jonghyun's new song Before Our Spring:
Let's see each other one time before spring comes, before it becomes warm.
We have to meet when everyone's asleep, before the dawn of day. pic.twitter.com/w56KhGsnUb (https://t.co/w56KhGsnUb)

I am crying... ;A;

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

omg ... my heart

[thekellieee.livejournal.com]

c/p from the (first) healing post:
t's honestly so good. i think it'll end up being one of my favourite albums of his. his voice is perfection like always and the composition ugh i'm in love with this album

it's hard to choose a favourite song but rn mine are Only One You Need, Just For a Day and Before Our Spring. i think...

also this may sound a little weird but it's 4:40 am here and it sorta made it easier to listen to the album. everything is quiet. it's nice

listening to this album was just a mix of happiness and sadness and idk :(

edit: this is the first time i listened to an album/a song of his since his passing and while i absolutely love this album, i'm still not gonna listen to his other albums. this made me realise i still have a hard time hearing his voice

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

<3 <3 <3 I'm glad you got to listen to it. I kind of want to listen to it again later at night and see if it has a different feel.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

MV is up. won't embed in case the thumbnail is too much for some people <3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J41qe-TM1DY

[modernabsurdity.livejournal.com]

I just finished 2 days of 14 hour work days but I'm listening to the album before I pass out completely and good lord, Before Our Spring is hitting me right in the heart. I hope everyone is doing well. <3

[keki7.livejournal.com]

I just got home from work and I'm about to hunker down and get this listen in before bedtime. Hope you are okay!

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

ok wow the MV is really heavy of symbolism but I kind of super appreciate the imagery of him singing "I'll always be with you" while being literally inside a studio/music box.

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

Going through the tracks, there hardly seems to be a weak song on this album. This album really showed a different side of him and I appreciate all the work/soul he put into this album. It just really kills me that we won't get another album, but the body of work that he has left behind already will always be here and continue to comfort other's as it have already.

Shinin' starts the album off really nice.
Rewind is that IT!
Before Our Spring is very peaceful. I need the lyrics.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

this is the album of the year, i hope it wins all the awards

the mv

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

I feel so ridiculous crying because it won't change anything and I thought I was over it. But, I'm so proud to be his fan. And so proud of this album. He did so well. I wish he could have seen his success. Depression isn't that easy though. You get into the worst tunnel vision and sometimes you can get out without much harm and other times....

I just got finished listening to the album. It was so amazingly good. I didn't start feeling emotional until the last song.
Honestly, it still doesn't feel real, so while I was listening to the songs, it still felt like he was here with us.
The album is soooo him. The songs were so bright, I loved them. <3

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

I loved the MV. It was so bright.

Omg the last song on the album made me so sad, and like as I was absorbing the last note the album restarted and took me by surprise. I had to laugh bc its so upbeat. Why do I feel like he planned that?

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

mte. he did not miss a detail with this album. he did so well.

I'm Spamming, but Whatever

Full lyrics of Before Our Spring

Honestly, I was relatively okay listening to Jonghyun’s album. And then the last track was a punch in the gut.

“Before Our Spring” translated here because his poetry needs to be understood and appreciated. pic.twitter.com/KZKOpx2jjt (https://t.co/KZKOpx2jjt)

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

don't concern yourself over what to do
I'm okay, spring will come to me again


that got me T_T

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

This is really an exceptional album and I'm so happy we have it. Grease might be my favorite at the moment, but all of the songs are great.

[ostsiberia.livejournal.com]

I love Grease too :)
