♥RappinkLove♥



The secret behind ♥RappinkLove♥...

I never could finish this song at first. If you would just notice, the second part was not entirely along the topic of the first part. I wanted my comeback song to be forceful and cheerful with a hint of angst in it. But instead of delivering it the way I planned it, it turned out to be a reminiscent song. I guess it was because I tried to plan what to say. I wanted to try to write something that I just thought of. I mean, I wanted to do something that I thought was "in". Maybe that was why it took me two weeks just finishing up the first part.

As I move to the second part, I had a hard time focusing. Thoughts kept entering my mind, like how easy it was for me to write before when my partner was still around, how fun it was, and how I miss it so much. I was even partly irritated because I had a hard time putting together the first part and it felt like I've run out of ideas to make the second part. Then, like just out of nowhere, I felt the old urge of writing... but the words that came to my mind was not even related to the first part (though I tried to make a connection). My emotions flowed and I finished it by putting in rhyme the feelings that I had inside.

I miss Yhorieck. I miss our tandem and our dreams. The very last part of the song, I mentioned something about "Whenever I look up above, I remember you when there are no stars". It was our own personal joke that I made up one time when I was with him outside. We just finished doing a song and he told me that his family was planning of moving away... it was indeed a sad night for me. And when we looked up, there were no stars. He said, "There are no stars...". He said it in a manner that tells me he was saddened by the mere sight of it. I guess it was because he was feeling subdued coz of their moving away, then the stars chose the moment to vanish up above, it made his sadness worse. Sensing what he felt, I tried to cheer him up by saying... "Do you know why there's no stars tonight in the sky?" He looked to me and said "No.Why?" Then I replied, "Because we are here at this moment." We are not superstars and we are hardly known as rappers. We do it for our own personal expression. If we have any fans at all, its us as a whole. I know he will always be my number one fan, and I've never faltered to let him know and feel that I will always be his.

In our song Bounce to the Beat of Our Friendship, you will notice the chorus as "We're gonna keep it up until we can reach the sky. And we ain't gonna stop till we can brightly shine... just like the stars above together we will try. This is what we love, we'll make it... you and I." We aspire. And these songs are like shock absorbers of our frustrations and all kinds of emotions. We sometimes pretend to be like stars when we do a record and we goof a lot just like any close friends do. We are Somebody in our own world. and I made this song for Yhorieck coz this is me... this is PINKLOVE'S WORLD.
