Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Music Elixir with me, sarah and Miss Panic Not singing it this week, no, I did that last week or last time, not last week? Whenever. Yeah, we tend to like record things and then wait two weeks and something else comes up.
Speaker 2We're like oh, let's do this Exactly we're recording the future and then, when you listen, it's already the past. So let's date stamp this. This is going to be wow the episodes on the last month of the day. This is November 30th. Wow, so it's our last episode for the month of November.
Speaker 1Well, according to our website Buzzsprout, we've started a new month already.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1So for us, it's physically the last day of the month, but we're starting a new cycle of releases. Okay, you know, hey, whatever See the future last day of the month, but yeah, we're starting a new cycle of releases. Okay, you know, hey, whatever see where the future exactly there you go, so today's gonna be a music episode yeah sarah introduced me to this group that I was like oh, she's like are you heard about this group?
Speaker 2I love it. I mean, I'm like, no, I never heard of them. Uh, so I guess it's mitro, the name of the group metro. Want to go ahead and introduce this group, miss sierra well what I know of them, because it wasn't exactly it was.
Speaker 1It was just the song came out and I was like, oh, this is really cool. And then I was like looking into them and I'm like, oh, five member South Korean group categorized as Trot Boy, which is, you explained to me was like sort of old fashioned style music. You know, it's a little more traditional sounds and stuff.
Speaker 2Equivalent to like an Inca, but in you know Korean. Their style you know, yeah.
Speaker 1So yes, they apparently just debuted this august. They've obviously been around because the way they sound and the way they work together, we, we were so excited after realizing that they were new to both of us yeah, that panic found the video to the song that I had said. You know this, this just came out and, uh, we were watching them and they, they were tight, oh yeah, oh yeah, but very smooth. It was not contemporary style boy band, right. Um, they had a couple of modern moves, but it was. It was much smoother, and maybe it was just cause of the way the song is too. They were.
Speaker 1There's a certain style to it that you know, style to it that when you all listen to the song you'll know, you'll figure out what is going on with it. But a couple of them are on the older side too as far as debuting. One of them is already 31 and ranged down to, I think, like 26. Okay, 25 or 26 years old, so they're on the older side for debuting, I think, like 26. Okay, 25 or 26 years old, so they're on the older side for a debuting boy band.
Speaker 2But I guess that's not considered a boy band, would you? Well, I mean.
Speaker 1Trot is. Well, they say it's a Trot boy group. Okay, well, they're under SM Entertainment.
Speaker 2So who knows, you know they just want to throw the boy in there. But yeah, because these are men. Yeah, these are actually men, so I don't know. So just saying trot group or male group, that will, I will, yeah, yeah, I will go for that than just boy group.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, definitely, like I said, said they're not your contemporary kind of boy group anyway, so we're gonna be listening to the song that sarah has been loving.
Speaker 2Do you want to them?
Speaker 1this song does have spanish influence with the mariachi because they've got yeah, they've got the guitars, the trumpet, whoever's singing right now, he's got a nice sort husky smoky and they harmonize beautifully.
Speaker 2Yeah, whoever got this group together knew very well what they were looking for as a trot group. We haven't listened to other trot musicians.
Speaker 1Oh, here comes our little rapper, which is a totally different rap style you know, here comes our little rapper, which is a totally different rap style, you know well, and it's one of the things that puts them a little apart from what you would probably consider a trot right group, because they have the rap in there in the middle of this whole mariachi sounding latin sound. So it's very interesting and this is, uh, I think what makes it different is this is more traditional Latin sound than a lot of people have, like a flair, a little edge to it, but this is like full on, yeah, walking around a marketplace. You know you'd be like hey.
Speaker 2There's more orchestrated Right. You know, very minimal with the electronics, like right now in the background, if you hear a little bit of like the electronic sound, but it's very heavily with the uh, the guitars and trumpets that I heard.
Speaker 1they definitely definitely mariachi, and they got the little yeah contemporary tempo going on there they got the flamenco guitar really nice yes now this part over here that is very smooth.
Speaker 2It has a bit of r&b beat on the back, but then it goes back to the orchestrated mariachi band awesome that note.
Speaker 1Whoever's hitting that note, oh my god, it's beautiful goosebumps and I believe that's the baby of the group. When we were watching I was like, oh, I think that's the maknae. I want to dance. Baby, kiss me now. Oh my God. Well, and if you think about Latin dances, the tango and stuff, it's all about.
Speaker 2Any Latin dance.
Speaker 1Even the corriditas.
Speaker 2No, not corriditas, but the other ones.
Speaker 1Well, yes, Any salsas and all of that like very caliente exuding desire and passion. So when he's like I want to dance, baby, kiss me now You're like that's what this dance is about. This is a little ta-ta-ta between a couple of people just meeting and that's finding your romance on the dance floor, I guess.
Speaker 2It's a very, very nice song.
Speaker 1And the video was awesome. It was just very much focused on their moves and them singing yes and they were just so smooth Incredible. Doing their little. They had to dance with each other.
Speaker 2Those are like my favorite videos. It's like they call them the dance video or dance practice, but it wasn't a dance practice. It was just them, just a group. Yeah, no scenery, nothing.
Speaker 1Just a plain color background. They were yep it was red favorite right, wasn't it? Red ice yeah for the passion.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yes. Awesome outfits too. Do you like their outfits? They did have some sparkle, but nothing like in your face. They were like, of course the rapper was just shirtless.
Speaker 1Yeah, he had that like wraparound slightly longer jacket, but it was organized.
Speaker 2They looked like a set of outfits.
Speaker 1They went together, but everybody had their own little flair and so, yeah, they've got a nice look to them, they've got a great sound. I think that that song is actually for a tv show. Love struck sisters yeah, so I, I don't know, I can't imagine. That's the name of the album.
Speaker 2No, it's just, I don't know. It looks like they just made different songs for each episode, because this is episode five.
Speaker 1I'm not sure what they're planning for this group, but hey we're going to keep an eye on them and see what else they come out with.
Speaker 2So Bomb Bomb Bomb was released on November 2nd and on Spotify it has over 2 million streams, which is good.
Speaker 1So people are already listening. Love that Hot, hot, hot. So anybody who hasn't listened yet, definitely check it out.
Speaker 2Please give the boys a chance, or the man a chance, the man, the man, because these are men and check that video, because we were like, wow, listen to it first and then check the video. Yeah, absolutely right, if we like to do that, we like to do that. So there's some, a lot more music and, of course, because we're getting close to the holidays, there's a lot of like christmas themed songs or winter themes.
Romantic Christmas Song Review
Speaker 2So we're not seeing anything new. Of course, everybody's saving that for next year. Speaking of Christmas music, so Reiko and Junon from Sky High's label have dropped a song First Christmas. All right, let's give that a thing, let's check it out. I'm just looking here at the release reader. All right, so we're going to be checking Reiko and Junon's song First Christmas. So great girl and junon's first christmas. That's a, of course, your typical christmas song.
Speaker 1It's almost an acapella because there's very minimal music going on instruments yeah, it's. It's really all about their voices and, yeah, just singing about the their instruments are very.
Speaker 2They're muted because you know this is, like you know, your first christmas, your lovey-dovey and um, I do like that. You know they're showcasing more of their voices. Just like you said, it starts with the jingles yeah, that is like you need to have that, that and bells.
Speaker 1That's how you know it's a Christmas song. Exactly Ching ching ching, ching Well, and they added some finger snapping sort of that lends to the sort of mellow laid back. We're just singing. We're just hanging out singing about the wonder of our first Christmas. Right, definitely, talk about we're doing something and being together, maybe.
Speaker 2Starts very mellow Like a minute and a half is very mellow and then it breaks into more with the like the organ, um, smooth jazz type yeah, it was more smooth jazz. Just to, like you know, snuggle up with your boo, because this is our first christmas yeah, yeah, it very much had the feeling of like we're just going to enjoy ourselves. And this is it's very typical for like in Japan, christmas seems to be like the couples.
Speaker 2Yes, it's very much what we consider Valentine's there's Christmas is their Valentine. That's what I I, you know get to see, because a lot of the christmas music, or holiday music, at least for in in japan, it's very couple oriented, maybe some family oriented, but more like this ballad yeah, spending time with a loved one right a romantic partner, as opposed to the whole family gathering around the very first everything you know. First christmas together, honey, oh, this is a special. Yeah, I love you, you know kind of thing.
Speaker 1Yeah, and we're gonna just spend the time together and you know very sweet song, yeah, very laid back. This one's a sort of just chill. Drink your cocoa, watch the snowfall, twinkling lights of you know, christmas going on, kind of thing snuggle up by the fire yeah yeah, especially yeah, snuggle up by the fire with your lovey, so that's awesome.
Speaker 2So get them a try. I mean I'll put it on your playlist for like the holidays. Yeah, for your first love.
Speaker 1So I was telling sarah your romantic christmas, that's what well exactly your romantic christmas.
Speaker 2So I was telling sarah that uh, naniwa drop uh two, two songs. Yeah, yeah, two songs, two singles. And uh we have not talked about it and it was dropped on november 22nd is arigato koko kara all right, we're gonna listen to that. And then we're, you know, give her two cents. But you know what? That's so funny, so they drop arigato koko kara. But the most listened to this one is yuki 100 oh, interesting.
Speaker 1Well, you know when the when the fans start listening to a whole lot, you know you, always you get the single and then you're like, oh, the album dropped. You're always like, oh, wait a minute, there's this and there's this, you know so? So what the what the company thinks is is the lead song isn't what the fans always think.
Speaker 2I wonder why. So which one Should we go with, the Arigato Koko Kara or the Yuki?
Speaker 1100%, I don't know, because I don't think I've. Actually I probably listened to the Yuki Okay, because I know when I saw the new release, new stuff coming out right that was probably if that's what they were releasing as a single.
Speaker 2That's what I checked out, so and, by the way, the boys are now touring asia. Yes, they are. Oh, they're busy, they are busy. I've been seeing blurs here and there and apparently one of the members, joe, which I think he was the one that actually don't quote me on it. No, I don't, okay, I'm not gonna say anything, but I know one of the members of naniwa was in boston watching the rex ox.
Speaker 2Oh, yeah, yeah I remember that so actually this one joe from went to, so otani, uh, one of his baseballs was on an exhibition, so he went to that exhibition. Oh, okay, so he was there, like, oh, and people recognize him, he's like okay, no problem, I'm like oh my god so hey, you're lucky, you get to get a picture with him.
Speaker 1Yeah, I know right, right, if.
Speaker 2I grew up in Houston. If we was in Boston, you know we could be like oh my God, picture please. Anyways, so Yuki 100? Oh, okay.
Speaker 1Oh, okay, sorry, I think I said the wrong thing. I know I listened to whatever the single that had been introduced, so that must be the Arigato.
Speaker 2The.
Speaker 1Arigato, go, go Ga Ra. Whichever one you want to listen to, because they'll both be sort of new to me. Either way, I know I listened. That's just what happens. I play the new release list and whatever plays plays, because we're not actually spending a whole week on something the way we used to. I don't always keep track of what I've been listening to because I'm like, well, we're supposed to. You know, we want this to be our first full impression.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So, other than Mitro, which I got completely like obsessed with, yeah, none of these none of the other songs were on a constant rotation for me How's that Okay?
Speaker 2So, all right, I'm going towards Yuki. 100%, here we go. It's very cute, very, very Naniwa.
Speaker 1Yes, very cute, very Naniwa Danshi you know, at the Yuki they had sort of a this has a sort of holiday feel to it and they were talking about dreams and I heard Yume something.
Speaker 2I also heard Namida. Maybe dry your tears away, you know.
Speaker 1It's a happy time.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1We're not fluent. We didn't look at lyrics. So we're, not 100% sure we're picking up words we know.
Speaker 2It's a very happy-go-lucky song.
Speaker 1Yeah, it is Well they had like the bells, like the huge, you know chiming bells in the background. So that's sort of where we were like oh, it's a holiday song, okay, yeah, yuki should have given it away.
Speaker 2Right, exactly, but you know it's.
Speaker 1It's very typical of naniwanda their voices are very cutie, yeah you know it's a very, it's a sweet song, it's a nice, make you happy.
Speaker 2Yes, you feel good kind of tune as per the other tune that we just listened, that it's more like hey, baby it's our first, you know, laid back first christmas. Yeah this is just like let's go on the snow and just frolic and like throw snowballs, you know, have some fun, yeah, have fun, live our dreams exactly.
Speaker 1No more crying, no more crying. It's winter wonderland, right? At least we hope that's what they mean and not that they're like it's the first snow, let's all cry either there's somebody like held first to you with snowballs and you're crying or maybe the snow's falling like gentle tears, who knows? Hey, right, I know we can make it whatever no, we can make it whatever we want.
Speaker 2Is that what you want to say?
Speaker 1say it well, because the music makes you feel what you want to get out of it. And yeah, I think it's. It's a joyful song, it's happy it is.
Speaker 2It's a joyful song and the boy is okay. So I'm looking at a picture of their uh, the jacket for their cd, and they're all wearing like cream color, like sweaters, winter white, winter white. Well, that's not my winter white, winter white, like like bluish white.
Speaker 1Oh, I thought it was more warmer no cream toned.
Speaker 2I think you're talking about the yellow snow no, yellow, snow yellow, I'm talking about winter.
Speaker 1White is like slightly darker. No, I think with blue tinge.
Speaker 2I think of ice, winter ice, ice blue well, that's what I see like winter, like white, white, like bluish, bluish white. Yeah, the icy white? No, they're not. This is more like ivory cream. Yeah, it's a very subtle look, yeah, so you can sort of more focus on them in their faces yes, this is not like some of their other costumes where they had like the pink and the powder pink and the powder blue and yeah, you, you know the sort of flashier colors Now this is a nice.
Speaker 2It looks like a Christmas photo for like the family photo. Yeah, it's like all the kids together now, this is for grandma and grandpa, yeah exactly. Everybody, let's go. It's very cute, it is. They're so adorable.
Speaker 1They are. So, yeah, the Adorable Boys from Kansai Yuki, 100%. It looks like it's the B-side to the Arigato.
Speaker 2It's the most dream. Kokoro Kara. It's the most dream, maybe because of the time of year.
Speaker 1you know it is the holiday now and people are getting into the winter mood, the winter wonderland mood, because that's actually a lot of the the new releases are winter or holiday themed songs.
Speaker 2you know everybody's in the mood for that right, it would appear yeah, because I mean not, new releases really don't drop around this time Like whole albums and stuff, not usually, it's generally just singles and they tend to be holiday themed.
Speaker 1That, it appears, is what we are looking at here.
Speaker 2Okay, let's see what else actually dropped that weekend. You know listen and talk. So we had three songs. There's just one more. Uh, we could probably do two more. You want two more? Let's see? All right, so we're gonna.
Speaker 1After that sweetness switch it up a little um.
Speaker 2Sarah and I were just. You know we like. Why don't we talk about Ace? They just dropped November 20.
Speaker 1We're both. They just dropped.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, it seems like a single maybe. Yeah, with a B side.
Speaker 2Yeah, I remember somebody was sending me like have you seen the comeback for Ace? The pictures for this is like whoop, whoop, jeez. This is like oh, jeez, so so we're gonna be listening to piñata. Uh, uh, uh. So let's see how hot is this. I'm laughing. People are like, come on, do you panic? You're probably already heard it already. All right, so we're gonna listen to Ace Piñata. Oh, already, heavy, oh it's the boys.
Speaker 1Huh, we're back, baby.
Speaker 2Throwing them. Sexy voice, wow, all right.
Speaker 1Picking it up a little.
Speaker 2This is on your face? Yeah, definitely In your face. Not on your face In your face?
Speaker 1Yeah, definitely In your face, not on your face, in your face, all right. Well, here it's crescendo to a drop. Mm-hmm, hit that pinata, make you go, bye-bye.
Speaker 2I know, I don't know. There is an English version. We're not listening to the English version, so he wants to play that back. Yeah that's what they said.
Speaker 1Play that back. We'll do that later. It's a very interesting mix of like the way the transitions are. They go from just this beat with them sort of rapping right what's with the heart?
Speaker 2you be in the middle of the song that wasn't there at the beginning well, I don't know, hitting a piñata and making you go bye-bye this is intense and we got grenade, granada drop, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1But then there's this sweet sort of melodic yeah, they're swooning you with this R&B and then the rap on your face. Oh, did he just say you're never going to take that tone again? Yeah, swing, badass swing.
Speaker 2What's the piñata here their?
Speaker 1relationship. Eh, it starts out so intense, right, yeah. And then in the middle there's this melodic, you know, yeah, it's like to throw you off but some of the lyrics like this sounds sort of like they're like something's going wrong in the relationship, so just hit the pinata and let it blow up, see what happens.
Speaker 2All right, we're gonna listen to the english version because I'm like the original version, have a lot of english lyrics, but we're missing some, yeah, definitely, because they're sort of, yeah, I don't know all right, so we're gonna listen to the aggressive yeah like what's going on aggressive, so we'll check out the english.
Speaker 1Yeah, that little throat clearing it oh, oh, wait a minute.
Speaker 2So he wants your heart, he wants you, but it looks like you're a homeboy. Oh, so there's some guy in the middle oh, it's like a love triangle so it is it's a relationship, it's a pinata.
Speaker 1We're gonna blow it up, see what happens. Okay, you're gonna cry when I hit back. Eh, that's what he said right before the hit the pinata. But like right before that they said something about I want to love you yeah, I'm playing that back.
Speaker 2He's saying play that back. And I'm like, yeah, because I'm all confused. First you want me and then you're gonna get rid of, like your you said your homeboy and then all of a sudden, I don't know like it's gonna drop you.
Speaker 1Yeah, I it's very strange. Yeah, I'm definitely.
Speaker 2What's with the mixed signals here with the piñata? So what's going on? Okay, so we played that back as instructed.
Speaker 1The song yeah, anyway, the wind blows. That's the way we go. I think I heard that line in there.
Speaker 2Uh-huh, so maybe it's not our relationship, it's something else.
Intense Emotions in Music Review
Speaker 1well, let's finish the song and see if we can pick up more, and that I don't know. I'm very confused. I am confused, it's very, it's aggressive.
Speaker 2I mean in the music is anyways, you know, you get definitely a stalking around sort of intense emotions here, yeah, intense there's a very much a back and forth sort of rivalry, I don't know, going on like very intense emotions yeah, one is like I I make you fall in love and then for some reason I'll drop you, or like what if you, yeah, watch what you say.
Speaker 1Basically there's like that's a wow. I'm not sure what to make of that. I know, even listening to the english, we're both.
Speaker 2We're like uh yeah, eh, that's very. If sarah is flabbergasted or it, you know, I'm like okay, because you understand poetry better than I do. And if you're like I don't know what's going on, is there, is there like a power struggle? Is there love?
Speaker 1I don a lot because they're talking about love, like I I I think it is in relation to a relationship and this is like not in a good place kind of relationship we're.
Speaker 2We're having a it's a powerful comeback. But, oh yeah, this comeback is like I don't know, I'm all puzzled. Yeah, I'm over here like hey, no, their voices are amazing. Oh yeah, absolutely, oh, my goodness.
Speaker 1And the music is very, it gets, it's instinctual. You're, you're like the the movement to it, you right, you just sort of go with it. It's not a dance tune at all, oh no, it's not a love song, it's not just a rap, it's. It's very just this uh, ball of emotion, yeah, aggressive emotion. Yeah, it's intense, yeah, it is intense, wow it's intense.
Speaker 2All I can think of is intense.
Speaker 1It's like, oh geez and almost like giving an ultimatum about where are we going with this, Because either we're in love or we're going to explode like a piñata getting hit with the swing bat. It's very wow.
Speaker 2Well, you know, piñatas are festive. They're colorful, they have candy inside. Right, our love is so explosive and sweet like a piñata.
Speaker 1I don't know, yeah, but but you think to open the piñata is is violence and aggression. You're hitting it with a stick. You know what I mean, so I need to hit you so I can get your sweetness.
Speaker 2I can, I can. I don't know what the heck is that yeah, I don't know, wow, that's like.
Speaker 1Um, that's great. I mean I like it oh yeah, musically, and their voices and everything it's very oh yeah grabs your attention, but the lyrics are a little all over the place, yeah, which I guess is how you know relationships can be. You're sort of up and down and yep, wow, I don't.
Speaker 1That one sort of took us by surprise it is okay, well, you mentioned earlier like maybe a love triangle thing. You know there's some, yeah, somebody in between us, so hey, that could be, if you look at the cd jacket there's like a, a black heart with an arrow, and there's stuff around it, right?
Speaker 2yeah, I can't see, I don't see if it's like were there rings, though they're not like thorns, like I was thinking oh yeah, no, it is. And it looks like a black diamond.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's definitely crystal of some sort, right Like a beautiful shimmery heart, because it's crystal or diamond, like you were saying it looks like diamond cut, like a black diamond cut heart.
Speaker 2Then you have the metal arrow and then you have two rings Well, and then you have two rings well and what's interesting with the arrow is it looks like like a stick pin, you know yeah you put on a lapel or something everything is like metal and crystal.
Speaker 1Oh geez, yeah, beautiful and stark, it's very wow, wow yeah, this is dark, just like the sun wow ace. Well, thank you, that's it.
Enigmatic Music Review and Analysis
Speaker 2You definitely got us thinking and I know, and feeling wow, okay since it's just only like a singles, I want to listen to the intro song. Oh, okay, which is it's intro? Recuerda, recuerda, and it's in spanish and recuerda, recuerda, it's in Spanish, and Recuerda, recuerda, recuerda. That word in Spanish is remember, remember, remember. So let's listen to that intro.
Speaker 1Maybe that will give more insight into what's going on Unless they're not singing, it's just only music.
Speaker 2Well, you know, let's go for it. So we're still kind of puzzled after listening to intro, recuerda, recuerda of this single album or EP, not even an album.
Speaker 1Well, yeah, I think it's just like some singles.
Speaker 2Because it was playing Mozart's Requiemiem.
Speaker 1Yes, you know very minor in a mixed way.
Speaker 2It was like the remix, which was really cool yeah, it was, that was wild.
Speaker 1I was like, wow, this is really cool, but it's still like I don't know well because that particular piece, first of all it's saying remember, remember, but Requiem, if you're religious in any way, it's usually a mass for the dead or to give peace to a resting soul, which again is someone who is dead. The piece itself, the Mozart piece, is about like tearful kind of Requiem. The Mozart piece is about like tearful kind of requiem.
Speaker 1I mean, if you're talking about someone who's dead, of course you're going to. Tears, are going to fall, so crying. So this is a very dark kind of introduction piece to use when you go into Pinata, where we had sort of all these random things being said that were a mix of I love you and let's destroy everything so that's, exactly so we really didn't get any answers, because I know it's just all very dark it is and this is a comeback.
Speaker 2This is supposed to be their comeback.
Speaker 1Wow, well, I I mean, I like it, I really like it and we always said a comeback.
Speaker 2We love explosive comebacks. This is not just explosive, this is like enigmatic yeah, because we're puzzled. I'm puzzled like definitely, wow, it really grabbed my attention. Love definitely grab your attention. Because you're like, what are they saying? The lyrics are kind of puzzling. It's gonna make you like keep listening and listening, listening, because I mean, come on, the voices are amazing too.
Speaker 1Plus, it's just like you want to know what's going on you're trying to put together the parts of what they're saying, yeah, and those transitions of sound from the just rapping, kind of almost like a cypher, yeah, right Into these melodic momentary breaks where they're talking about love and romance, and then they go right back into the boom. Let's just destroy it, break it up. I mean that's just crazy. But that intro that's intense too. Wow, yeah, and the the mix on that they did. Whoever did that, that was a really good job.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, wow, that was really good too, so holy moly, I know I'm, I'm okay, well, kudos to ace.
Speaker 1That's some great stuff. They just yeah. That is presented to us.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, it's. It's been a while since we actually talked about the group, you know, and this, wow, it'll make you think for sure.
Speaker 1Yeah, makes you listen, makes you think. It's as intense definitely working out it well what's going on the?
Speaker 2intro was giving me like dark wave, like goth, like industrial. Not goth, but like industrial mozart, the original goth right exactly yes, well, I love him he was.
Speaker 1He was definitely an enigma.
Speaker 2Yeah, he was young, too Crazy. I mean, he was you know.
Speaker 1Well, he was a genius. I mean, he was a child prodigy. That's what the word.
Speaker 2we're trying to think he was a child prodigy. He was like three years old.
Speaker 1Yeah, he did his first full-on concert for the world at five, yeah, so I mean he was writing stuff like this, yeah, when he was very young, very young, wow, wow, wow.
Speaker 2So it's interesting they chose that piece, yeah, to work with yeah, wow, okay, I think we're gonna leave it like that, my friend, because I'm like we had quite a range today. We got some real culture of emotions here. We had our salsa, the passionate love.
Speaker 1Yeah, steamy and then, we had the laid back romantic holiday, chill vibe, the happy-go-lucky, the happy-go-lucky, exactly.
Speaker 2And then this we're like what? The world is crashing down right, oh my god yep that last one you summed that up right there there. You just really sum it up correctly, my friend, because I have no words for that.
Speaker 1Well, we both of us were just like in shock after that. Yes, stunned I was, because I'm like I don't know.
Speaker 2We listen to the original and we're like, okay, what's going on? And then we're like, let's go with the english, see what's going on. And I'm like we still puzzle, we don't know what's going on. And I'm like, okay, what's going on? And then we're like, let's go with the english shit, what's going on? And I'm like we still puzzled, we don't know what's going on. And I'm like, okay, let's, let's listen to the intro, maybe we'll give us a hit and then it's like requiem. What, oh my god, yeah, that's like wow well that's just.
Speaker 1That lends to the whole darkness of the, the idea with that cover art. Yeah, some of the lyrics we heard in pinata and we were just like oh this, yeah, that's some heavy stuff, right, oh God, but it's amazing, so definitely check it out. Wow, I need one.
