why ONF's Why has become my favourite song, and why i blast it on repeat everyday: a thread
this is gonna be some weird amalgamation of me crying over Why but also genuinely trying to explain my reasoning so buckle up everyone
ever since i first listened to Why, there was a certain emotion? feeling? that i would get.

its obvious that Why's mv is stellar, telling a story through the cinematography and acting, but that isnt what i'm focusing on today.
i'm probably sounding like every other fuse when i say that the vocals in Why are amazing. all the members shine bright in the song and the emotion in their voices is top notch.

and that's exactly why i love this song.
their emotions. theres a sense of longing and pain in their voices, which fits the lyrics and the general mv. especially with hyojin's beginning lines, it always feels like he's lamenting the loss of someone. in a way, the whole song progresses through a story.
yuto and seungjun's rap, as well as the first chorus feels like a cry of frustration or anger, /i dont know/ but it feels like they're screaming at the sky and cursing the gods for putting them in this situation, or cursing themselves
and the synth is the chorus is what really tops everything off. that simple progression somehow punches me in the gut every single time. it somehow sounds so sorrowful and lamenting and it makes me want to cry every time.
the second verse and wyatt's rap feel like they're begging or pleading against /something/ while the bridge feels like they're giving up. the final chorus is acceptance.
always, always by the end of the song, theres an odd emotion i feel. my throat feels just a little tighter and my chest feels just a little knotted, and yet i feel so peaceful. in a way, it makes me want to cry because its telling me to.
it feels like this song is trying to give me hope. like its telling me everything is going to be okay, like im allowed to be selfish to myself.
i dont know why this song makes me feel like this. hell i dont even know if this thread even accurately explains how i feel because i've legitimately never felt this way from listening to a song before.
i dont know if anyone else feels the same as i do when listening to why. but hey, welcome to my brain

tl;dr i love why and it is hands down my favourite song ever
on a final note, i have just realized that i have just connected Why to the five stages of grief haha whoops

i wonder if my hwanghyun knew how powerful that synth progression would be
***mr hwanghyun god FUCK
