I also happen to like this old fashioned traditional sound of singing, whether in American roots music or something old and gaelic. So how about we just call it good in an inverted sort of even. Its a version that I like of a song that I can’t stand. It’s not like you’re begrudging people finding comfort in these things, just that it’s not what you personally find comforting. That said, while I definitely try to give the benefit of the doubt re: intentions in things like this I can get how songs like these don’t work for everyone too.Īlso, rather than jaded I think perhaps your love of upbeat songs & having/remembering good time – or the promise of them in the future – is what you find hope in instead of the type of reflecting songs like this aim for. Arguably everything a musician does is for some sort of profit or promotion so it becomes ‘well, what’s being promoted’?įor me this works because it’s not some sort’ve ham-fisted ‘imagine’ sing a long insisting all of us are the same but instead just a bit quieter and more personal. It’s definitely a kind’ve damned if you do, damned if you don’t thing right? Because it could be just as insensitive to pretend or ignore what the world is going through because for a lot of people it’s not really a ‘hey, let’s all just dance and enjoy ourselves’ time for a lot of people they would want something that acknowledges the weirdness of the times we’re in instead. I can’t begrudge any artist for spreading positivity and reflection at a time when we all need it. But, listeners receive comfort in different ways, and Life Goes On is guaranteed to connect with many fans on a far deeper level than it does with me. It all feels too nebulous - a series of platitudes instead of something more unique and specific and satisfying. This extends to its sound and structure, which climaxes in the kind of sway-along sing-along that’s been a staple of pop music for decades. ![]() I’m probably just way too jaded, but while the sentiment behind Life Goes On is admirable, the delivery feels a little trite. ![]() Life Goes On’s best moments come during its verses, which recall the less-polished appeal of the group’s older work. The melancholic refrain fits the track’s aim, but never really builds to anything. Longtime collaborator Pdogg is listed as a primary songwriter, yet his gift for melody feels restrained here. They’ve promoted ballads before, but Life Goes On is no Spring Day (a song that’s aged like fine wine). BTS are on a level now where the very word of a comeback builds hype. I’ve already made my preferences around this subject matter clear in previous reviews, so there’s no point belaboring the subject.Īs a title track, Life Goes On is more hushed than we’ve come to expect. It’s the latest COVID-related track from a Big Hit artist, offering consolation through hip hop pop. If Dynamite was a shining bauble of a distraction, new single Life Goes On brings us right back to reality. ![]() And while I still find it to be more commercial jingle than satisfying single, its bright energy and catchy groove are certainly welcome in 2020. In many ways, the track was a slam dunk before it even materialized – a glossy, trend-friendly pop song with wide appeal. I must admit, I’m shocked at how long BTS’s Dynamite has endured on global charts.
