Chapter 40: GD sings the theme song for "Dark Glory": You can't...
Just one month after their debut, they will release their first debut album. "Autophagy" immediately topped the charts on streaming platforms and won the Melon daily crown on the same day. It held the crown for three consecutive days before being surpassed. After that, it hovered around the inner ring for two consecutive weeks. If fans had systematically organized voting, they might have won several music show awards among the many new songs from various groups.
Such a result is terrifying for a newcomer, especially since this is a diss track that is not popular to begin with. However, its high quality, catchy melody, and novel style have attracted many curious passersby, aside from fans.
Many people, if they weren't watching the performance, would initially think, "What garbage!" But then they'd be drawn in and listen to it again and again, the first time, the second, the third... the tenth time, finding it increasingly enjoyable, and even nodding and swaying to it the next day at work or school. Recently, the pure diss track of this song has become incredibly popular on short video platforms, achieving Jiang Tinghan's desired effect of whipping keyboard warriors every time it's played. A group of people are getting increasingly agitated and angry under every video using this song, even if it's just used as background music.
As the saying goes, even negative publicity is still publicity. Using "Autophagy" brought in traffic, and after a while, the trend of using this song as background music became even more popular. The eerie interlude was also used more often in horror videos or as background music for video clips that just needed to create a scary atmosphere, and it became popular in a different way.
Although it hasn't reached the point of being a household name, the results are already quite impressive, surpassing a bunch of popular groups and solo artists who are either not in the scene or have just entered the scene and are already grateful for it.
Wake One Entertainment recognized Jiang Tinghan's songwriting abilities and the outstanding results of her first songwriting attempt, so they commissioned her to write three to four songs, from which the company would then select one or two as sub-singles. The company planned to hire a well-known producer in the industry to handle the main singles.
Besides Jiang Tinghan, Jin Ruixi can write rap lyrics, Putuo Qian and Sikai both have certain creative abilities, Yuedi Xingli can choreograph, and if they need any resources, they can probably get them by just telling Kong Yanshu. Yin Zhicai and Pei Xiumin are all-rounders in singing and dancing with no weaknesses. With this configuration, they can basically be a team that can complete a one-stop production without relying too much on the company.
Jiang Tinghan produced two songs on her own in a week, and another song was born in collaboration with her teammates. They stayed in the luxurious recording studio that Kong Yanshu's parents lovingly built for her. All the equipment was top-notch, and whatever they wanted to eat, drink, or need was available on demand. The other seven people were all teary-eyed and exclaimed that it was a blessing that Kong Yanshu had debuted. This was truly a heavenly experience.
Jiang Tinghan first played the two songs he had created for the other seven people.
"Our style at Lumera is diverse, so I wrote two songs with different styles, one retro and the other a more quirky and girly style."
Retro is a Synthwave song popular in the millennium. It is a kind of "future retro music" that imitates the 1970s and 1980s. It uses electronic sounds and synthesizers as its base and can be associated with hazy yellow and purple midnight neon lights.
In recent years, songs by the Western singer The Weekend have become wildly popular, with his signature song "After Hours" being a typical Synthwave song.
The song is titled "Utopia, Tonight," and it tells the story of how, when midnight arrives, people automatically enter a dream world as soon as they step outside. It evokes a sense of escaping reality, escaping the daily routine, and instantly stepping into another dimension.
The midnight moonlight hypnotized the phone screen.
[The mundane routine vanishes like pixels.]
At the end of the alley, a strange light beckons to me.
The neon-lit entrance appeared as if it were the end of the world.
A city like an unsolvable formula
[Always hiding secrets I can't understand]
The subway carries pale faces, rushing towards numbness, lies, and flattery.
Love has become like cheap fast food, all that's left is freshness, enjoyment, and the final bill.
I pierced through the ink-black night.
Leaving this heartbreaking city
A glass dove, carrying moonlight, flies through a sea of clouds filled with candy-like signals.
The smiles of passersby are an everlasting rainbow.
【Wee to the world, my dream utopia】
If this is a dream, I'd rather never wake up.
My other self is here, completely free.
[Welcome to my neon wonderland, they want me to obey, but I spread and grow.]
See the colors alive, for only my joy is precious.
Running through the neon splatter, this is the true place of freedom for the soul.
The chorus has only one line, "Wee to the world, my dream utopia," followed by dynamic electronic sound effects mixed with retro electrical noise, and of course, the essential cyberpunk touch of a cold female voice.
After listening, everyone felt great, as if the music had given their ears a massage. The melody sounded cold and lonely, with the damp feeling of melting snow on a cold winter night, but the lyrics were fairytale-like, innocent, and a little sweet. Upon closer inspection, they were full of satire on the weariness of real life.
“I always hear this style of music in our local music scene, but it’s rarely heard in K-pop,” Skye said with great surprise.
Jiang Tinghan: "I don't know much about K-pop, so I'm not good at writing songs from a K-pop perspective. I did a magazine shoot a set of retro-modern photos before, and that gave me the idea to write a retro-style song."
"Breaking out of the box is indeed a good method. Coldy, you're learning to write songs so fast! It's only been a little over a month since the third performance," Sky praised.
Jiang Tinghan thought to herself that she had been learning for much longer than just a short time; she had been learning since the first public performance and was now completely overwhelmed.
Writing a Synthwave song is too difficult. She only has a superficial understanding of electronic music and has to keep taking lessons from a senior artist surnamed G. She asks him questions day and night, until he complains, "Baby... I suspect you're dating me just so I can teach you how to write songs better."
Her casual remark, "That's part of the reason," infuriated Kwon Ji-yong so much that he almost drove his car right up to Jiang Tinghan's dorm. In the end, he was appeased by Jiang Tinghan's words, "Oppa, I missed you."
But Kwon Ji-yong still sent a muttered message: "If you miss me, meet me; if you miss me, answer my call!"
Oh dear... Oppa, wait a minute, we'll definitely meet when we have time.
Kwon Ji-yong: [...] Scumbag woman
Even after starting a relationship, things aren't much different from before. At most, we can hold hands, and the biggest perk is just a wrist kiss, which is done through a mask.
Dating a young person can be so pure and innocent, well, a kiss on the wrist can indeed make him savor the memory for a long time.
“Zhi Cai’s voice is a bit cold, so it’s suitable for an introduction. These few lines describe reality in a rather depressing way, so they’re suitable for a summation. The pre-chorus needs a lot of power, and I’m thinking of Sky’s part. The first chorus is a bit hazy, so I’ll do it. The second one will be more determined, so Grape will do it. For the second verse, Anri-chan will be in charge of the melody for these few lines, and Rui Xi and Yan Shu will do the rap. When we repeat it a third time, we’ll pair up again.” Jiang Tinghan took notes on a piece of paper, dividing up the parts with his teammates.
"After Hours" can be a huge success even when it's only six minutes long. Jiang Tinghan boldly said that this song is almost five minutes long. This kind of music is for clearing your mind. You won't feel bored or burdened no matter how long you listen to it.
"Is this okay? You can change the words if you don't like them."
Jin Ruixi silently raised her hand, while Jiang Tinghan listened attentively.
"Your part is too small, Captain."
Tsukichi Anri: "Yes, yes, I think all three choruses should be sung by Xiaohan-chan. You can sing the whole gradual process yourself. My verses can be shared with Putuo Qian."
Putuoxi: "I can do it. If Sikai and I each sing a line of the pre-chorus, the effect should be pretty good."
Yoon Ji-chae: "Give me a chorus, let's split it in half, and then we'll pick up where she left off."
She pointed at Bae Soo-min and said logically, "The three of us have similar voices. Coldy, your voice is the best suited to this song. You sing the first two lines the most catchy."
Jiang Tinghan thought for a moment and agreed that the adjusted version did indeed have a better sense of depth: "Okay."
The division of parts gradually became clear through everyone's discussion. Jiang Tinghan then played two more songs in a row. One was "Don't Play Pranks," a quirky and playful song that blended electronic bubblegum music with other songs. The other was her crazy creation, "Life is too tiring, you can jump into the Han River."
I secretly added a sugar cube to your coffee.
Seeing you frown, I leaned against the door and remained silent.
[I've replaced the filling in your favorite cookie with toothpaste.]
Seeing your pained expression, I pretended to be concerned and asked how you were.
Senior, do you think we're being a little too mischievous?
But who told you to be so focused, like a block of wood, so oblivious to romance?
No pranks! No pranks!
But the way you panicked was really funny.
Don't play pranks, and don't do it again!
But my brain says it disagrees.
Senior, don't you think we should obediently say sorry?
But your reaction, like popping candy, is just so adorable.
Mentos and Coke, you wipe the brown moisture from your face, your eyelashes flutter, and you question why it's always me.
【because……】
【because……】
【us……】
I secretly like you!
Actually, we all understand.
Your gentleness and boundless tolerance
"—Senior, guess if this is a prank?"
The melody of this song is as sweet as bubblegum, and paired with these cute and quirky lyrics, it made the team members smile like doting aunts. They really couldn't believe that such lyrics were written by Coldy, who seems unapproachable.
"My heart feels like it's melting after hearing this," said Anri Tsukichi, clutching her heart.
Kong Yanshu rested her chin on her hand and grinned, "Listening to this makes me want to fall in love."
Her smile held a hint of mischief: "Coldy, where did the inspiration for this song come from?"
Jiang Tinghan closed his pen and gently tapped Kong Yanshu's head with the cap: "We need a song of this style."
“You are all teenage girls, so singing some youthful and lively songs is perfect for you.” With a stroke of her pen, she selected Yoon Ji-chae, Bae Soo-min, Kim Seo-hee, and Si-kai.
The oldest member of their group is Yue Di Xing Li at 23 years old, followed by Jiang Ting Han and Putuo Qian at 21 years old, Kong Yan Shu at 20 years old, Si Kai and Pei Xiu Wen at 19 years old, Jin Rui Xi at 18 years old, and Yin Zhi Cai at 17 years old.
Yoon Ji-chae raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Then I should say thank you."
“Especially you.” Jiang Tinghan pointed the pen cap at Yin Zhicai: “You’re not even an adult yet, and you always have such a stern face. You never smile.”
Yin Zhicai was immediately incredulous: "How dare you say that to me?"
Jiang Tinghan slightly raised the corners of her mouth: "At least I smile often."
Yoon Ji-chae was speechless: "What's the difference between you laughing and not laughing?"
"OK, OK, stop arguing!" Anri Tsukichi stepped in to stop them. The two 1.7-meter-tall girls looked down at the little girl in a row. The moment she looked up, she felt what humiliation was.
"Alright, both songs are amazing! I feel like the company doesn't even need to find another producer. Xiaohan-chan, have you let the company hear the songs yet?"
Jiang Tinghan: Not yet. I plan to write another one today, making a total of four to send over.
Yin Zhicai sneered, "Your math skills are worse than mine."
Bae Soo-min then asked, "Did you write another song?"
Jiang Tinghan: "Yeah, I wrote it when I first started learning to write songs, but the theme is a bit... not positive. I don't know if it will be rejected."
Yin Zhicai looked at Pei Xiumin and then at Jiang Tinghan, and fell silent.
Putuo Qian's eyes lit up when she heard this: "What kind of negative energy method?"
Five minutes later, everyone finished listening to the song "Life is too tiring, so go jump into the Han River".
"Wow...so crazy!" Putuo Qian exclaimed, slapping her thigh.
Ska let out a small cry of pain. Excuse me, why are you filming her legs?
"I have a feeling that if this song is released, everyone will love it, especially with your electric guitar and a sleeveless top." Putuo Qian was already imagining it.
Jiang Tinghan asked somewhat helplessly, "Am I supposed to accompany you while you dance?"
Anri Tsukichi: "What Akane Putuo is thinking of might not be a music show version, but a concert version."
Jiang Tinghan: "Thinking too far ahead about the concert, but I think we should be able to do it... But this song has a rather pessimistic value orientation, and we are, after all, a group chosen by the public."
Kim Seo-hee: "We could try having all eight of us say we like this song together, and the theme is that we're too tired from work and miss home. Just looking at the surface is too superficial."
Bae Soo-min: "Agreed."
Skye: "Let's give it a try! Three songs, three different styles, My lovely Coldy, you are amazing!"
Jiang Tinghan calmly raised his hand: "Let's finish the last song before we praise it. I don't know if this song 'Han River' will pass. My initial idea is to write another song that's more exciting and explosive."
Anri Tsukichi, like a fly rubbing her hands, said, "How about a song that I can dance to to my heart's content?"
Kim Seo-hee: "The kind my former employer is good at?"
Jiang Tinghan's lips curved into a smile: "Writing something like that must be a bit difficult, right?"
“This description sounds like a pure K-pop album title track.” Skye had already slipped onto the drum kit, flipped the drumsticks, and pounded the drums loudly. “Let’s overcome this together!”
Taking advantage of Sikai's inability to understand Korean, Yoon Ji-chae suddenly said, "You're already fired up before you've even written the song."
Jiang Tinghan silently complained, pointing at Yin Zhicai: "Sky, she said bad things about you."
Yoon Ji-chae turned her head in surprise: "?"
The other team members chuckled to themselves.
Skye was very magnanimous: "It's okay. Shouldn't we first determine the theme of this song? Shouldn't it be a bit more domineering?"
Bae Soo-min: "Am I the queen, am I the strongest, or something like that?"
“I feel like I’ve been coming across this theme a lot lately.” Jiang Tinghan stretched and picked up the daisy pillow with missing petals that she had taken from the production team. “And the fact that it’s limited to humans feels monotonous and not imposing enough.”
"How are the waves? The lyrics are similar to... I am that sea, no need to ask more, wherever the tide goes, it is my territory."
“Oh—Cool!” Skye spontaneously played a drum tune and hummed lyrics that Jiang Tinghan had made up on the spot.
Putuo Qian optimized the melody that Sikai played, adding a trill. A melody popped into Jiang Tinghan's mind, and then he hummed the newly composed lyrics: "I am the wave, never stopping, even if it is the end of the world, I will ride the wave to arrive."
Go forth, and wherever I go, a path will be formed.
Even if I am shattered, I will rise again.
Shout it out, remember my name!
The world will eventually respond to me.
The mountains that attempted to block my way have long since crumbled.
The raging winds that attempt to tear me apart will also submit to me.
At this moment, I have become the wave once again.
[To devour the entire world.]
*
The next day, all four songs were submitted to the company's production team. They held an emergency meeting, and all three newly written songs were easily approved. They had originally thought that the songs written by the newcomers would contain some unusable and discarded pieces, but they did not expect the quality to be so high.
Regarding the song "Life is too tiring, so go jump into the Han River," the album planner and creative director had different opinions, with some in favor and others against. In the end, the planner played the instrumental version submitted by Jiang Tinghan, and all the opposing voices disappeared immediately.
Such a melody paired with terrible lyrics can still become a hit, not to mention that the lyrics themselves are of good quality and quite profound.
But new problems have arisen.
"The concept for this album is inconsistent; it's like a hodgepodge. It's like buying whatever ingredients you like at the market..." the creative director said, somewhat exasperated.
The person in charge thought for a while and tapped the table: "Then let's not set any concepts. Concepts are meant to help the audience understand them. The audience will automatically summarize the concepts for us when they see these songs."
“These four songs are already excellent, and I don’t think we need to find any more producers.”
Creative Director: "We still need a song that reflects the band's name. This song, 'Waves,' can be the title track, and we can add another song related to 'light' as a double title track?"
The person in charge said, "It's unnecessary and too cumbersome. The moment they stood on the stage, they had already interpreted the light. Singing 'Waves' is a declaration that this era belongs to us."
As the discussion was nearing its end, the album planner couldn't help but laugh: "We've really struck gold! This is the first time we've seen such a worry-free idol group; they even divided up the parts themselves."
The person in charge glanced down at the documents and saw that Coldy was the lyricist and composer for every line. He sighed, "When it comes to being worry-free, Coldy is the best..."
"Achoo!"
Jiang Tinghan couldn't help but sneeze, rubbing her itchy nose. She thought to herself that she couldn't catch a cold. In addition to shooting the music video and recording, she had also taken on a new job.
An upcoming TV series called "Dark Glory" invited her to sing one of its theme songs. It is said that the music director in charge of the TV series listened to her song "Self-Eater" and thought she was very suitable, so he invited her.
Although Jiang Tinghan is very popular now, she is still a nobody in the industry, so she should cherish every opportunity. She doesn't know much about "Dark Glory", only that it is a revenge drama. However, she can tell the quality by seeing that it is written by Kim Eun-sook.
The interlude is called "Final Move". She has already listened to the demo. It is a song with a rather depressing and heavy feel, but also a very grand theme of revenge and war.
"One piece, two pieces, the game is over."
"The final picture is being pieced together."
"This is my final move, a perfect revenge."
"Now you feel the weight, my pain, my truth."
The lyrics are so well written that Jiang Tinghan could almost imagine what kind of story it was telling just by looking at them.
She had only finished recording for a few days when Netflix's "Dark Glory" was released on December 30th, split into two seasons. The first season's eight episodes were released all at once, and on the same day, keywords such as #DarkGlory#, #MoonDongEun#, and #ParkYeonJin# swept across major online forums like theqoo. This phenomenon exceeded everyone's expectations and silenced those who wanted to criticize the female lead, Song Hye-kyo.
The first episode depicts the female lead's tragic past of being bullied and her determination to take revenge, creating a rather oppressive atmosphere. After the female lead, Moon Dong-eun, and Park Yeon-jin meet again after eighteen years, Jiang Tinghan's song "Final Move" makes its first appearance.
[I knew this background music sounded familiar, isn't it Coldy singing?]
Is that her? I couldn't recognize her at all; her voice sounds so different.
[It's Coldy! Isn't she a newcomer? She actually got a singing role in a Netflix drama written by Kim Eun-sook, her resources are amazing!]
[Damn, Dong-eun made Yeon-jin so angry, and then Coldy's singing came on, it was so satisfying! I got goosebumps as soon as the song started!]
[To think that Coldy has already released two solo tracks in less than a month since his debut, isn't that a privilege that most people don't have?]
[Are you trying to imply my wife is royalty again? She's so powerful and popular, it's only natural she'd be invited.]
[A self-composed piece, a collaborative piece, and just an interlude—what's so special about that?]
Listen to "Self-Eater" a few more times. Jealousy is an empty heart disease, a poison! Your sourness is overflowing.
Who sings this male vocalist? It sounds familiar.
[Seventeen's DK fan club, I saw his fans claim it themselves]
Wow...Coldy is collaborating with Lee Seokmin directly? He's already collaborated with two senior idols so far!
[Where did you put CL, and where did you put Megan?]
[Just passing by, I don't know how happy I would be if my idol had this kind of talent. This song is so good, I have a feeling it will be a hit for a while.]
[It seems like the male idol is quite good at singing opera; it has a bit of an operatic feel to it. The female voice is cold and ethereal, while the male voice is powerful and penetrating. They actually sound quite well together.]
[kkk I'm quite curious about the behind-the-scenes recording footage. Was it recorded all at once?]
[I guess it's okay to record these separately, I don't know. But I'd love to see them record together though~ One's a goofball and the other's aloof beauty, I wonder if they'd both be awkward and extremely respectful and polite. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.]
Back to the day of the recording, Jiang Tinghan did indeed record with this senior from Seventeen.
She considered it for a moment. If she didn't tell Kwon Ji-yong, he would find out next week, and he would definitely be more vulnerable then. So she chose to confess.
Oppa, I'm recording a theme song for a drama today.
It was seven in the morning, and Jiang Tinghan was prepared to wait for several hours, but Quan Zhilong was actually awake.
Kwon Ji-yong: [(Kitten kiss.JPG) Getting up so early, that must be tiring]
Jiang Tinghan: [Oppa, are you awake or still asleep?]
Kwon Ji-yong: [I woke up yesterday, and I'm going to sleep today.]
Jiang Tinghan: [(If you stay up any more nights, I'll kill you.JPG)]
Kwon Ji-yong: [Hehe, do you want to hear Han sing the whole theme song by himself?]
Jiang Tinghan: [No, there's also a senior from Seventeen, DK.]
Kwon Ji-yong: 【? ? ? !! !! …………%¥#*@(*)+)ahzbduendzawffo? ? ? !! !! !! 】
His message was like a jumble of characters scrolling across a keyboard, enough to express his excitement.
After he finished typing, he seemed to force himself to calm down.
[I think I've heard of this kid before. I know Hoshi from SVT.]
The next second, his true colors were revealed: "Don't exchange KKT with him; at most, you can only exchange phone numbers."
It took him several months to exchange KKT with Jiang Tinghan! If another man got it in a day, Kwon Ji-yong would be furious.
Jiang Tinghan was somewhat surprised. Kwon Ji-yong was unexpectedly tolerant and generous. She had thought there would be some kind of domineering clause that prohibited her from saying more than a certain number of words. It seemed that her senior boyfriend hadn't gone that crazy.
Okay (Kitten salutes.JPG)
Kwon Ji-yong: [(Kiss) (Kiss) (Kiss) (Kiss) (Kiss) (Kiss) (Kiss)...]
He sent a series of kissing emojis; just looking at the screen felt like being kissed on the face.
Jiang Tinghan: [Look at this, haha]
Haha is the name they gave to the husky. Kwon Ji-yong initially objected because he has PTSD from the name "Haha," but his objections were ineffective.
If you can't expect your dog to be named Wangcai, what kind of cultured name should you give your next dog?
"Haha" is the best wish; it's always good to be cheerful.
Kwon Ji-yong sent a photo of himself and Haha. Haha is super lively, and in the photo, there are only afterimages of him shaking his head wildly. Kwon Ji-yong had to use his arms to restrain him in order to get a photo together.
The expensive leather sofa behind him had been chewed and scratched, looking like a battle-damaged piece.
The shop owner simply gave Haha to them, making it a free purchase, but its value is now skyrocketing.
Jiang Tinghan seemed to understand why Quan Zhilong hadn't gone to sleep yet even at dawn; he must be really working hard.
[(Ruffling the kitten's head.JPG) What a heroic father!]
Kwon Ji-yong: [TT TT]
I never want to own a husky again in my next life.
This past week has been a living hell. Haha, I'm not afraid of him at all. Kwon Ji-yong doesn't know how to train dogs, he can only patiently teach him, but the husky, one of the three silly sled dogs, won't listen. He opens his innocent blue eyes and starts causing trouble.
Fortunately, Haha is inexplicably afraid of iye. Every time Haha tries to bother Zoa, iye extends its paw and punches it twice, and it behaves itself.
Now the old father can only rely on his beloved eldest son, iye, to save him from this predicament.
Jiang Tinghan could only comfort him, saying, "Since we've already raised it, I'll discipline it when I come to Oppa's house next time."
With this promise, Kwon Ji-yong drank it diluted with water for three weeks, and he could raise their child without complaint.
[Correction: It should be "our home"]
Jiang Tinghan: [kkk My name isn't on the property certificate anyway]
Kwon Ji-yong: [You can write down what you want.]
Jiang Tinghan was so close to her dream, but she still forced herself to refuse, even though it hurt: "We're not in that kind of relationship."
Kwon Ji-yong asked knowingly, "So, what's our relationship?"
Jiang Tinghan said helplessly, "What other relationship could there be besides lovers?"
Kwon Ji-yong was laughing so hard he was practically oblivious to the fact that Haha had gnawed another hole in his pants.
Jiang Tinghan's meeting with Li Shuomin was similar to that of netizens—very awkward. There's always a thick barrier between male and female idols when they interact.
Lee Seokmin politely introduced himself: "Oh my god, I'm DK from Seventeen."
"Greetings, senior. I am Coldy from Lumera." Jiang Tinghan bowed slightly.
Then there was silence, and both of them looked at the lyrics sheet in their hands.
Lee Seokmin broke the ice first, laughing awkwardly twice: "Haha, Coldyxi is Chinese, right? There are Chinese people in our group too, and more than one..."
Jiang Tinghan smiled politely: "There are also Koreans in our group, making up half of the members."
Lee Seokmin started to change the subject: "I think I saw your performance online before, the one with NCT Dream friends. Your performance was amazing. Everyone said that it would be great if you performed our song."
Jiang Tinghan smiled and said, "I considered the senior group's song 'Falling Flowers' for the first and second performances. It's a very nice song, but it's too difficult to cover."
Lee Seokmin could tell it was just polite talk. If he could sing "Heaven," there was no reason he couldn't sing "Falling Flowers." But it's hard not to feel happy when you hear nice words.
He adopted an excited tone, trying to lighten the mood, and playfully pumped his fist, saying, "Believe in yourself."
Jiang Tinghan: "It's too much of a stretch for one person to sing the parts for thirteen people."
"But DK senior," Jiang Tinghan asked the question that had always been on her mind, "why is a 13-member group called Seventeen?"

Author's Note: I couldn't resist watching the Dark Glory commentary again. I consulted a professional about the SVT selection, and my roommate gave me a heartfelt recommendation, lol.
