HAS Shanea's Songs of 2017! Part 2

Back again for part 2 of my favorite songs of 2017!

Yesterday's post:

http://www.hasheartandseoul.com/2018/01/has-shaneas-songs-of-2017-part-1.html

At the end of this one I will put my whole playlist on here.. That way you can go to Youtube and play it if ya wanted or anything like that. 

So jumping in..

26. KARD - Don't Recall

Now this was my JAM! And honestly I don't even like the English version. I know, I know. That's a crime. And what's funny is I love the dance version better. Why, you ask? Probably because of BM's body rolls. If you don't understand my love of BM I dare you to look up the KARD label on this blog... You'll find out real quick. Hahaha

27. Day6 - I Wait

Ah yeaaa! This song had a really weird sound to it when I first listened to it and honestly I couldn't tell if I liked it or not. But I QUICKLY warmed up to it.  I emphasize quickly because I think I did a post about it not being my favorite.. and the next day I was literally jamming to it on repeat. 

28. Twice - Likey

Let me tell you what is the most priceless thing about this song.. The fact that Bunny likes it. And what's so special about that is... If you read any of her posts, she's a rap girl. And the occasional kpop group. Absolutely no girly girl groups. So her constantly going around everywhere going "Me likey likey likey!" was the most hilarious thing I've ever seen. 

29. Seventeen - Don't Wanna Cry

I found out this year that I'm actually a bigger fan of Seventeen that I had originally thought I was. Especially through this song. Also I feel like I should mention that I did like 'Clap' also, but not enough to be on this list or even an honorable mention. But I'm always so fast to say 'Well I'm really not that big of a Seventeen fan...' and I thought I was telling the truth.. Nope, was lying. I like them more than I thought because every song that comes on my playlist from them I jam to... Lol

30. iKON - B-Day

This is my HYPE SONG. I don't know what it is about this song that makes me want to just destroy stuff... But it really does. Like Crooked by G-Dragon does to me also but not to that extent. But I seriously go crazy to this song. This is my favorite song by them. and I don't even know why. It just is. 

31. Red Velvet - Peek A Boo

Admittedly, Red Velvet is another group I'm so fast to say that 'I'm not a fan of' and yet again I thought I was telling the truth. This is an even bigger lie than Seventeen... Because Red Velvet has really moved up on my group list this year. I did not like this song at first. I don't typically like any Red Velvet song when I first hear it... It has to come on multiple times before I'm like 'Okay, this isn't bad. I feel this' 

32. Winner - Fool

This song is so amazing. I always forget about it most of the times... And in the Save or Pass games on Youtube I usually always pass it because they put it up against more of my favorite songs.. But I love this song so much. 

33. Day6 - I Smile

The opening line of this song had me hooked. Half the time I can't even tell you why I like a Day6 song. I just can tell you that I freaking love it. Because I just do. 

34. EXID - DDD

After Solji got really sick, I was really worried about how this group was going to continue, but this was actually a solid comeback! 

35. EXO - Ko Ko Bop

Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop, I think I like it! I think the best part of this song was the Ko Ko Bop challenge that went around this year. It was so cool!

36. Sunmi - Gashina

Now this song was my song for a long time. I am not a huge fan of Sunmi. Like I don't 'not' like her, but I don't usually love her songs... So this was so surprising that I loved this song.

37. NCT 127 - Cherry Bomb

That thumbnail. Hahaha. I do love me some NCT, but this song wasn't my very favorite song this year. Still amazing, just not the best one of this year IMO.

38. Girls Day - I'll Be Yours

This is another one I forget about in general, but I forget it came out this year! I like Girls Day a lot.

39. Day6 - You Were Beautiful

This song... The lyrics are so so so sad to me. And it's such a beautiful song. <3

40. BTS - Go Go



You're all going to hate me... But this song and Mic Drop were my JAMS. I never loved DNA. And it didn't make sense to me that everywhere BTS was performing they were performing DNA when it wasn't even their best song from this comeback. This is probably my 2nd favorite song from this comeback. First being the original Mic Drop.

41. One - Gettin By



I honestly can't tell if I like this song better or Heyahe. His debut was probably one of the best ones this year. And he's just so adorable how could you not love him?

42. Jay Park - Yacht



Oh god. This song.. Has been on repeat for the past 2 days for me. I literally can't get enough of this song! This is my jam and this will be on repeat for like the rest of the week... This man is so sexy, yall. Dannnng.

43. Day6 - Say Wow

You make me say wow! Now I like this song.. I don't LOVE it. But it's still good. 

44. Block B - Shall We Dance



This song has been stuck in my head for a few weeks now. It will not go away!! I LOVE this song. I love Block B in general. I'm not feeling U-Kwon's hair, but you can tell he is! And that's all that matters!

45. Day6 - My Day



I find this song so cute and I love it!!

46. Wanna One - Energetic



How could I not love the group which has Minhyun from Nu'est in it? Right? But this song was probably my favorite of theirs. It's so catchy and I love all of them <3

47. The Rose - Sorry



BEST. DEBUT. OF. 2017!! Hands down the best song that was ever released this year. This song was just the best. This group is just the best. I just love everything about this group and their members and the talent they all have. So much mad respect for this group. The minute I heard this song I was HOOKED! I mean head over heels in love with them. I want to meet all of them and just hug them and tell them thank you for this song and their music. They're just THAT good.

48. Taeyang - Darling

This is actual the only song I've liked by him lately. I really loved this song.

49. Day6 - I Would

So. Let's talk about this song. This is my favorite Day6 song to date. Young K singing, as always, just soothes my soul. Especially in this song. I love everything about this song. A lot of people don't really appreciate the songs that aren't their title songs, but man you all should really give this song a listen. This song is life.

50. KARD - You In Me

I won't go into how much I love KARD for this one, instead I'm going to go into how much J.Seph killed it in this song. Guys, he KILLEEEEEEEEED it! You can tell especially the past 2 days who my bias in this group actually is... With my undying love for BM.. But in this song, J.Seph was the star. And I loved it. <3

3 honorable mentions:

I do feel the need to put some honorable mentions. Reason being, I just love these songs and I couldn't completely leave them out of the posts. 

Taemin - Move



The dance to this song is so skillful and sensual and I just LOVE IT.

PSY - New Face



Another hype song of mine. This song makes me DANCE!

PSY - I Luv It



And I do! I Luv It!


So this concludes my songs of 2017! These posts were so fun for me because again, this year was really good for music!

Here's the full playlist:

Featured Song of the Week! (11/17/17)

The Rose - Like We Used To

I was really hoping for a comeback from 'The Rose' and they granted my wish. 

However, I feel the need to say that I still haven't fully recovered from "Sorry" so, like, I've been putting off falling head over heels for this song. 

That's a crazy thing to do, right? But does anyone else feel me here? Like there's just a certain grace period for comebacks and when you're still not over the last one, you can't take the mental trauma with falling in love with a new one? Kind of like getting over an ex. HAHA

But, I finally listened to it and am just in love with it. The music video, the song, the members, etc.... Just I love every single thing about it. 

Everything they do is so perfect. Just perfect. There's no other words other than just perfect. 

Do you know how frustrating it is to write a blog and like something so much that you can't think of the words for it? So basically I have a page full of perfect. 

Infuriating. 

But maybe that will tell you just how good this song is. Just go watch the video. You won't regret it. 😍😍😍😍😍

Featured Song of the Week! (8/9/17)

Every week I do a midweek blast from the past which is on Wednesdays. Obviously. Since it's hump day. 

But rather than just visiting old songs, I figured I should start a new segment where I showcase recent songs so they don't get forgotten either. 

Just to clarify, Wednesday's are for songs released before January of 2016. 

Featured Song of the Week will be newer songs. Whether it be debuts or comebacks that I didn't write about some other time. 

I'll do this every Friday. But today since I just thought of it today, I'm posting the first one on Wednesday. Writing it at 12AM 

So first ever Featured Song of the Week..

"Sorry" by The Rose (더 로즈)

I ran into this song on Youtube at midnight today. I was bored and didn't know what to do.. Usually these days I've been playing Everquest a lot more. 

Can check out the livestream I participate on these days with Cats Meow on Youtube. 

But this night I wasn't doing anything so I was literally just staring at my computer screen with Youtube up.. Usually I do this for awhile until I come to the conclusion I should probably get a hold of myself and do something. Even then I usually just put on 'Friends' on Netflix or something and sleep. But that day I saw the thumbnail for this song and I was staring at it for a good 10 minutes before I was like.. Hey.. Let's click it. 

I have never been more proud of myself for staring at my Youtube home in my life. This song is DANG amazing!

I'll be honest and admit right now that I'm a rebel and I don't like Youtube telling me how I should run my life. So when suggestions for me to watch come up I skip over them and just do whatever I want LOL! (Especially since most of the suggestions I just don't like... Believe it or not there are some groups out there I don't listen to)

But I was amazingly surprised with this song. What also took me by surprise is the fact that they remind me a lot of the Script. What surprised me perhaps the most about this whole song is the fact that I wasn't the only one who thought they gave off The Script vibes. 

Usually I'm alone in thinking groups sound like other people. Like I swear to you Cho Yong Pil's "Bounce" sounds like the Korean version of Phil Collins. *Shrug*

But finally I'm not alone in my thinking they sound like The Script! They seriously have that vibe. Just everything about them. 

I have a real soft spot for Korean Indie Rock groups. Always love them so much. I really love bands more than anything. The kind that actually play their own music, you know? Nothing against the ones who don't because I love them all so much. But there's always just something so special about these rock groups. 
They put a lot of hard work and effort into their work and play the music themselves and it's just enjoyable for most everyone that hears it. The Rose is no exception. 





According to my research I've put into this group, here's what I've found out. 

They started out as 'Windfall'(윈드폴)which honestly I feel is actually a better name than 'The Rose'. Windfall just sounds better. They had a Youtube channel, but it seems they didn't get very far with it. 



This being the only video and it's posted from a year ago. Maybe that's because the company they're under was immediately like "We'll snatch them up while we get the chance!" 

Smart move, I just hope you make them as big as they deserve to be. They have so much talent and this is an amazing song so like I'm so hoping this goes well!!!

For a debut song it really was pretty awesome also. 

They are right along the lines of Nell which of course is one of my favorite Korean Indie Rock groups of all time.. Indie Rock is just great, yeah?

The group has 4 members.. 

For hopes that their Facebook will get more likes, I'm going to just include the Facebook posts from their official Facebook. 






















This band has EVERYTHING. They have the sound, the vocals, and the visuals. They can go FAR places. And if they ever came to America, I would so support them in every way I could. I love their talent and hard work they put into their work and I just want them to know that they're appreciated. And  I don't believe that any of them are older than me because they all look so much younger than me. Just saying.

I really hope this band goes very far places and accomplishes so much! I don't want them to vanish one day. I want each song they release to become more and more successful until they don't know what to do with their fame because they're just THAT popular. 

The music video is definitely worth watching even if you aren't into Indie Rock, you might be surprised just how amazing they are. 

Side note: I started writing this right before 12 AM. It's now after 2AM and I'm just now finishing it.. Which means this song has been on Loop for the past 2 hours and I still haven't gotten tired of listening to it!
