TSOL is one long love story to Jonghyun. I listen to it a lot, a lot, a lot. I adore the fact that they started with Good Evening, because I know the vultures were waiting for their tragedy porn and SHINee said FU. The only song I skip almost every time is Key's ballad, You & I. Same with I Will Fight on FACE. As for the choreo, Koharu said she based it on meeting Jinkles, and how relaxed he was. So she said, People expect SHINee to dance, so let's make them wait for it. For me, I find their performance of it at the tiny SHINee World something, the first time they appeared after SHINee World: The Best From Now on, far more heartbreaking. Good Evening, both song and performance and video, is filled with melancholy...but joy, too, and maybe it's the contrast of those two that people find hard to deal with.

2021-11-07 20:35:10 +0000 UTCI agree the song feels a bit morose, there is a sadness to it. I like this song more now revisiting it with you. Nice when they get active at the end.. Onew so strong in this. I love all the synth sounds in this. The choreo I think is more Koharu magic. Here she is being controlled and explosive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt_O4IPNBS8 .

2021-11-06 10:25:29 +0000 UTCWell. It’s their first comeback without jonghyun. It’s literally about him. The whole thing is suppose to express that. That’s the point. I mean you saw the “our page”. And this was the first chapter of that. Good evening, I want you, our page. It’s all about jonghyun. That’s the point. It’s not suppose to be super happy as this was just months after his death. They were doing their best. 💕

2021-11-03 12:00:00 +0000 UTCI usually do not re-watch the stages around that time because of what you mentioned, the way they look is just so heartbreaking at times. Jinki is also so damn skinny here, I remember reading an interview (? ) from around that time where Kibum mentioned that he's proud of Jinki for finally eating properly again and gaining some weight again. So while I have no problem watching the MVs or later performances - the ones they did then still hit me hard. It just hurts. I also had songs that I just couldn't listen to and had to nope out of the moment they came up in my playlists, not even always the same songs, they would differ from day to day. Now I can listen to all of them and just acknowledge the feelings that come with them without letting those feelings overwhelm me. Little side info: the choreographer is Koharu Sugawara. She worked with Taemin before, they did Move, Flame of Love, Sayonara Hitori and (in parts) Criminal together.

2021-11-03 09:51:08 +0000 UTCIt took me a while to realise just how good The Story of Light is. I'm so glad you reacted to that performance of Good Evening. I think it pairs well with the M Countdown version of Who Waits For Love which I highly recommend https://youtu.be/GVR5Jx3aNRM. Both have stunning choreography and are both beautiful and melancholy at the same time. I presume you have seen the MVs of I Want You (connected to Good Evening) https://youtu.be/IDpWeURKkbI and Countless https://youtu.be/6lE0AJzOb-I. If not, these are must sees as well. Very insightful analysis of Good Evening Tors1e (as always).
