went to a listening session at TILT in hongdae yesterday! It was the RM medley session, they were playing a lotta songs from mono. then followed by indigo and RPWP entrance was 15k and we got a free drink too! i got the white rooibos tea and the owner was really nice, got to chat a bit for a while with him and another guy who gave out explanation about the place and how it came to be.. turns out he worked as an audio engineer for a music label and felt a strong need to have a place where people can just listen to music and immerse in it without being in a setting of a club? or bar? ikdr! i gotta say this is probably one of those times i got overwhelmingly emotional cs of music like idk if its them dolby atmos speakers or what but i genuinely felt each n every frequencies of it rpwp sounds so majestic when played thru speakers like at the venue, i guess we rly need a solo tour… all around the world in a day somehow sounds “grungier” in a space like this. tbh for the longest i thought it was a track about letting go and letting time take its course cs i’m growing up and i’ve outgrown a lot of things, BUT thru this listening session it made me saw this track from a whole new perspective likeee before it felt like ”just a casual drive to the beach with ur friends”, just sometimes in a while after a breakup or “some years removed from a transitional period of life”.. but now the way i understood this track is, it actually gives off a very “i can feel that first blow of fresh air when u roll down the window of ur car after a good ahh crashout session mid-drive” and boy am i not grateful for things like these cs its always fascinating to re-interpret things or see urself and ur experiences thru other people’s art and just reflect on how much you’ve grown throughout those period of time another thing that brought me to #think was when they played everythingoes. i instantly got transported back into 2018 when i was having a real hard time, hanging out with a different crowd, trying to pull myself together despite being surrounded by people, keep asking myself every 5 seconds wtf am i doing here and why am i here with these people and will all these situations ever change turns out it does change, it does, it just took a lot of time patience and (maybe nobody ever told u this ig) courage… yep shi felt like ripping off a bandage and you actually have to #work to get to a point where u can make peace with it like water under a bridge #but just like them fibroblasts that came days or weeks after the scar, remember u urself gotchu #gang ykwim and i guess just like the song, everything? goes another one that got me in the trenches was when come back to me was playing, istg i would never shut up about how track saved me, just like sisyphus and that damn stone im ready to roll it again, im not even joking if i keep on yapping its gna be 2am here and i got classes tmr so imma just keep it sweet n short! im glad i enjoyed these kinda things and im glad that i live in a city with so much love for art like this… all in all a very 10/10 experience, would definitely come again next time!
