Shine by PENTAGON

— [Weekly Assignment: Write a Paragraph About a Piece of Music That Brings You Joy]

Now, this is going to be a short one. But, as a disclaimer, this is not my favorite song by PENTAGON. However, this is the one that went viral and introduced me to them, similar to Rooftop by N.Flying — except, I think this gained the artist a bit more attention than N.Flying, possibly due to the fact that they’re an actual idol group rather than a band, but who knows, Shine came out a year prior to Rooftop, so it’s kind of difficult to compare the two. I won’t elaborate too much on this group, though, because I know I’m going to go into much more detail than necessary.

Let’s start with a sample of my sudden Twitter meltdown over this masterpiece a few days ago when sudden went into ten-membered-PENTAGON-missing-hours and impulsively rewatched the Shine music videos. Well, honestly, it wasn’t completely out of the blue; it was kind of triggered by a Spring Snow Music Bank stage video popping up in my recommended YouTube videos. Then, I was like, Do I watch this? Or do I save my tears for the AP test tomorrow? And me, being the impetuous annoyance I am, watched it. Obviously. Which led to a series of events, one of which including:

“shine fr just the embodiment of 👉👈 in song form fr fr. like it's part of the choreo for a reason ptg did it before it was cool”
“why was shine so legendary WHY DID she have to be so legendary SHE DID NOT have to go so hard THE MV did NOT have to be so feel-good THE POSITIVE VIBES DID not HAVE TO be so strong SHE DID NOT NEED TO pop off like that IN 2018
shine… <333 i love her she was so influential she did wonders for this planet who would've known she was gonna be THAT legendaric legendary legend that would take over the world with her unexpected power”
“she was such an era god she was SUCH a legend i cannot stress this enough but the impact she had on the world? on me?? it goes BEYOND DIMENSIONS she was truly immaculate. she's so quirky. she's not like the other girls in the best way possible”
“you know what remember when i said the jpn version of shine's mv was better you know what perhaps i. perhaps i'll officially declare i love them both equally now. both mvs are top tier elite tier GOD TIER [stuff] the world truly did not deserve shine by pentagon. we were not ready
although i will say <yuto's japanese rap3”
“enough about shine let's discuss the best song on the album OFF-ROAD
actually no let's not i'm gonna go insane i'm not gonna shut up on here maybe i should save that for the essay”

 

Clearly, I am not writing about Off-Road. Though, I could. Would you like me to? I will gladly talk about my top three PENTAGON songs: Runaway, Off-Road, and Pentagon, in no particular order except Runaway being first place.

To end this off, PENTAGON have a really nice discography, if I’m honest, one of my top five favorites, probably. Their songs all have that feel-good vibe; the energy makes me so happy, or, maybe, just blithe. I’m always in a nice area when I’m listening to their music.
