Five songs of Taeyeon that you should add to your playlist
Hail from the Nation’s Girl Group Girls’ Generation, Kim Taeyeon’s solo career has been impressive. She already released over nine albums, composed of Korean and Japanese releases. Taeyeon’s vocals capture listeners like magic. She’s one of South Korea’s best singers. Taeyeon released a lot of bops and I think she deserves a space on your playlist. So I came up with my personal list.
Five songs of Taeyeon that you should add to your playlist
1. Dear Me
This song was from her second album repackage, Purpose. This is actually a healing song. It’s for everyone who’s hurting. Her voice and the lyrics will definitely touch your heart. It’s like a letter to yourself. it contains those words you were not able to hear from someone. I hope you will find comfort through this song.
There are things I wanna tell myself
As if I’m singing
I love myself
I trust myself
Words that I didn’t have before
2. Fine
This song is about pain. When you are in the stage of moving on, this one is for you. As you listen to this masterpiece, let your heart out. Cry if you want to. And, moving on is not always about romantic relationships. Moreover, we pretend that we are fine outside but in reality, we are not and that’s completely fine.
Between the meaningless jokes, back-and-forth conversations
And all the people, I look like I’m fine
I pretend to be numb and I try to smile
3. Time Lapse
Taeyeon who hurt you? It’s another song about pain. It’s okay if you’re still thinking about that person right now. Those happy memories are difficult to forget. The way you believe they are your universe and will eventually leave you alone. I’ll ask you this: are you willing to feel that happiness again knowing you’ll end up breaking up? If you’re thinking of that individual as you read this put this song on your playlist.
Yeah, that’s how love is
The start and end are always so different
Yeah, that’s how all break-ups are
A deeper love comes and makes you cry
4. U R
For those who already found the one, edi sana all! This song expresses the feeling of falling in love. It’s like when you realized how lucky you are to meet that person. You feel like they complete your day. Moreover, the way Taeyeon delivers the lyrics is mesmerizing. Add this to your playlist if you want to meet the right one!
You are like a light after the rain has passed,
You come up in my heart, like this.
Cause you are, the light that fell on me
5. I’m the Greatest
Ending the list with self-empowerment. Sometimes when we try to convince others we tend to forget how to live as ourselves. You will try to fit into something that is not you. Now is the time to not give AF. This song is about breaking through and being yourself. Turn sorrow into power, you are the greatest! Whatever you do, people will judge you anyway. When you listen to this song I hope you will decide to live as your beautiful self.
No matter what I will lose
This is me, I’m the greatest
My pure heart
Will shine to illuminate the world
Taeyeon has a lot more lovely songs. What I mentioned above was simply my own preference. So go ahead and listen to some more of her music!
