Layover is so damn good and solid, that it keeps getting better and better with each listen. There is something about the intro to SD piano version that just hits the sweet spot and captures the feel of the whole album urgh how did they do that.
Everytime I listen to the album or watch the MV's and performances I get this happy nostalgic feeling because man was it a lovely time getting know this new side of him. Like he really achieved what he set out to do because not only was the sound, vibes and overall aesthetic so immaculate but his explanation about wanting listeners to take a moment to sit back and reflect before continuing on the journey with him makes complete sense with each listen. He didn't just put out a few dope songs, he was intentional in creating an experience which is both aspiring and relatable to us, and he pulled it off so well. He wasn't just telling a story he gave us the space to connect it with our own stories.
I always liked Tae but I think really connected with him and understood the kind of artist he wanted to be on a whole other level after Layover.It was so well thought out and cohesive and the kind of album you cherish and can always come back to.
Also Taehyung's face is really majestic. Anyways, I love him. That is all.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes!! I always recommend to follow Tae instructions when he said to listen to it in order, because the transitions between the songs are literally perfect. Rainy days fading into Blue, For Us fading into Slow Dancing piano ver… the best thing I’ve ever heard.
“He wasn’t just telling a story he gave us the space to connect it with our own stories” such a sweet thing to say ): I’m sure that was Tae goal with Layover
