Plastic Tree - Makka na ita
The idea of red thread makes me ache. I’ve now associated this with Geng and Heechul directly. Probably because the distance between China and Korea is greater and more distinct, and not just a few tiny Eastern islands; there had to have been a little destiny in play for them to find each other. And then HERE, in this universe — I listen to this song and I read about their lives and it’s like, blurred rushes fractured by quiet pauses. Like, they go to work, they have each day, walking the streets, in their cars, people and noise swirling around them, but then their home is an oasis in the chaos. It’s highly cosmopolitan, movie-soundtrack, scenic-walking-tour kind of montage, but I like the idea of family being your paradise. I think that’s what red thread comes down to: the universe links you around the ankles and you become, like, two merged souls.
