♫ NOTES:
I was a little hesitant to give this a listen. I jumped at the shot to hear "The..." and "The Beginning", but there was something about this album that I knew would make it harder. I was right. I've been listening to it all day - and I've been crying all day. But the emotional roller coaster is so worth it, IMO. In addition to the wholehearted lyrics, the songs are musically and vocally AMAZING.
Mission seems like the perfect song for a concert intro. In fact, it reminds me a lot of the intro videos TVXQ did for their last two Japan tours (T and Secret Code). The song is catchy, though a bit repetitive. I'm still a little thrown off by Yoochun's f*bomb in his rap, but then again... it isn't anything new (if you've listened to his rap from the Thanksgiving performance of Xiahtic, you know what I'm talking about). NINE was the first song to get the tears rollin'. Fans are still speculating why Jaejoong named the song "Nine", and the best reason I've heard is that it was 9 years ago when Yoochun joined TVXQ; thus making the group complete. I think the best summary for this track goes like this: "It's the kind of song that is so beautiful musically, it puts a smile on your face and makes you feel at peace... but when you know the lyrics your heart breaks and you can't stop crying." Pierro is NOT about HoMin. It's a song about SME and JYJ's disgust for them. The only thing I don't understand, is how a song about hating someone, and painful memories can sound so beautiful... But you can hear a hint of hurt in their voices. Unnamed Song PART 1 does not (as of yet) have a second part. Almost the entire song is a rap from Yoochun (who wrote the song). It literally is in the form of an essay; with Jaejoong and Junsu singing the chorus, and Junsu quoting a line from Musical Mozart at the end. This song essay describes in details what happened to lead the 3 to leave & sue SME. At the very end, Junsu can hardly finish quoting his lines without his voice quivering. I was bawling.
