Ada gila gilanya aku flashbak mengingat sosoknya yang dulu

Hanya rindu, suka? Tentu tidak

Benci? Lebih dari itu

Buat apa benci, lebih baik memilih tak usah peduli. Anggap sosoknya sudah mati itu lebih baik

Sesekali ingat bukan berarti masih berada di tempat yang sama. Bagaimanapun juga dia pernah menjadi bagian cerita manis dan pahit dalam hidupku. Walau memudar sosoknya, tapi aku masih ingat jelas kenangannya.

Tanpa berusaha melupakan, aku lebih memilih membiarkan dan menyimpan kenangan itu tetap ada meski sudah berada jauh di tempat yang berbeda.

Tak apa, saatnya kembali. Ingat "fokus di masa sekarang, bukan masa lalu"

Sekarang bagaimanapun jalan ceritanya, endingnya akan selalu sama jika bermimpi tentangmu.

K-Pop Spotlight: DAY6

Come one, come all to a K-Pop Spotlight that is sure to dazzle and delight ’til the final curtain. This week, all eyes are on DAY6 following the release of their eighth mini-album, Fourever, and brand new title track, "Welcome to the Show." We caught up with the band to discuss their goals as they approach their 10th anniversary and their ever-growing connection to their fans through their music. Check out our full interview below!

Tracks like “Welcome to the Show,” “The Power of Love,” and “Get the Hell Out” seem to have very different themes. Can you tell us a little about how these songs relate to each other and what aspects make this album cohesive?

SUNGJIN: As we pursue the idea of being a 'band that sings every moment,' it seems like our albums, including the recent one, prioritize diversity in songs and situations rather than unity. Consequently, our albums contain various genres and narratives. However, there seems to be a commonality in most songs, depicting situations that everyone has either gone through or might experience.

Young K: First and foremost, I would say this album is a compilation of the best songs we could create. There's definitely a theme of love running through it. "Welcome to the Show," "The Power of Love," and "Get The Hell Out" all talk about the concept of love.

What goes into creating titles for DAY6 songs and albums, especially those that don’t come directly from your lyrics? Do you find it hard to condense the intentions and themes of a song into a title?

Young K: While there have been cases like that, all the songs on this album came from the lyrics. Sometimes, when choosing a title, we select the one that best describes the song—other times, we choose to give it a twist or make it more intriguing.

WONPIL: Naming songs involves a lot of deliberation. We often contemplate which title will catch the eye and capture the song's essence. Usually, we try to take it from a verse in the chorus. This can be a challenging part of the songwriting process.

Is there a creative project you’ve always wanted to work on but haven’t gotten the chance/found the time?

SUNGJIN: I'm very curious, and have a principle of "trying to experience as much as possible." There are so many things I want to try musically and personally, especially among the things I know but haven't tried yet.

DOWOON: I hope we can have a song that we can collaborate on with My Day, like a choir.

What does your work/studio setup look like? Where do you feel the most creatively inspired?

DOWOON: We try to keep the studio as tidy as possible and make it comfortable for practice sessions.

WONPIL: When working on songs, we talk a lot. We get inspiration from little conversations, joking around, sharing stories, and listening to music from various eras regardless of genre while giving opinions. We also try to build emotional connections with the songs. There’s a lot of communication going on. The songwriting process takes place in the studio of our long-time collaborator, composer Hong Jisang, with whom we've been working together since our debut.

How do you want to evolve as a musician/producer?

Young K: I want to be eagerly anticipated and awaited as an artist. Without those who wait for us, we wouldn't release or even step onto the stage. So I’m always thankful for My Day.

WONPIL: My biggest goal is to make good music for My Day and the public, so I think I'll continue to ponder. When working on songs, I pour my sincerity into them. I constantly strive to express this sincerity musically, fully capturing the emotions I want to convey. I hope to create songs that can still be listened to even after 10 or 20 years.

Design your own Tumblr blog: choose an aesthetic, a blog name, and would you be a frequent poster or lurker?

SUNGJIN: I think I’ll use it to catch up on friends' updates. For the blog name, THUMB BLUR sounds good to me. I might end up being a lurker who never posts.

DOWOON: Maybe a blog for plants? I think I'll post it like a diary.

Want more DAY6? Check out their new mini album Fourever and the music video for the title track “Welcome to the Show,” both out now!

Butuh waktu panjang untuk kembali menemukan diriku yang lama

Butuh kesiapan mental untuk kembali menyapa semua yang pernah ku tinggalkan, ku abaikan, atau ku hindari

Butuh keberanian untuk memulai tanpa berpura-pura tegar dan ceria

Dan semua itu terwujud karna dukungan orang-orang baik di sekitarku, mereka yang bertahan dan mau menemaniku tanpa menghakimi

[9dsvr]

Haha so funny! But sad at the same time.

I found my old diary, I opened it and I forgot why I wrote this sentence? What happened that day? How do I feel? I completely forgot those memories, but I was relieved.

I'm grateful I forgot about it.

Shitt! You came again on the last night, in my dream. But I didn't angry anymore. I've erased you forever. You came to me again? Stupid!! You came to explan that you just want to be happy in your life Huh? I know it, now I know that you didn't happy with me for several times in the last our relationship. Then, you leave me alone, and you went to find your happiness. Right?

OK.. so, are you happy now? If so, please leave me alone! Don't come again to my real life or in my dream.

Go away, I've let you go a long time ago 😏

Air mata untukmu sudah habis ternyata. Meski aku berusaha menghayati lagu kenangan kita, lagu galau yang ku dengarkan saat masa kelam itu, kini tak membuatku menitikan air mata.

Aku sudah sembuh, benar-benar sepenuhnya sembuh.

[9dsvr]

Setelah ku baca lagi, ternyata sejak awal aku sudah kalah.

Bahkan sudah jauh hari diperingatkan,

Ah hidup memang begini. Lalainya aku sampai lupa diri.

Padahal pertanda sudah diberi, tapi tetap saja tak sadar diri.

Jadi begini cara kerjanya? Ah.. aku tahu sekarang.

Oke lah, jadi pelajaran yang sangat berharga dalam hidupku.

[9dsvr]

Udah lama aku memikirkan ide ini. Dan mulai malam ini aku telah memutuskan untuk memulainya.

Karna aku ogah rugi, jadi setidaknya harus ada karya yang akan kubuat. Entahlah, tapi suatu saat ini akan jadi cerita yang menyenangkan. Meski isinya tidak selalu menyenangkn 😄

Yang penting mulai dulu

When the four seasons come around, i’ll be standing before you with a smile

I’ll go and come back.”

Walau gak nampak wajahnya tapi aku ngrasa diawasi olehnya. Mimpi macam apa itu, masih aja datang menghantui.

Ternyata masih sesakit itu membaca kisah romance ini. Yang aku pikir sudah berakhir di season 1, ternyata ada season 2. Setelah season 2 nampaknya benar2 berakhir, ternyata ada epilognya. Aku butuh season 3 dengan tokoh pria yang berbeda. Aku mau season 3 dengan akhir bahagia.

Apa karna terbiasa apa-apa sendiri, jadinya gak nyaman berinteraksi lama-lama sama orang yg gak akrab. Kaya ngrasa gak nyaman gitu loh membangun keakraban ini. Mau nolakpun malah jadi sungkan sendiri, gelisah sendiri. Udah parah gak sih ini introvertnya..

[9dsvr]

Kenapa sih aneh banget, gampang banget berubah moodnya. Udah makan dessert, pulang2 malah balik lg kesepian. Aku kudu eotteoke??
