Giriboy - Take Care Of You MV Review

Happycake here for another review!

HOLY CRAP

Okay so I was just scrolling through allkpop and I saw that Giriboy came out with a new video and I was like “Oh darn, I gotta watch this right now!!!!!!!!!”

So I pulled it up full screen and blasted the volume (don't worry I was home alone so no worries about bothering anyone. Well. maybe people passing by because the window was open)

But HOLY CRAP CAN I JUST SAY THAT THIS JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY?

This is a pretty dark song and might sound boring and slow to some people, but there’s so much emotion when he’s singing. Of course, I’m a sucker for his rapping too, but even when he’s only singing, I DIE. *places tombstone into the ground reading "R.I.P HAPPYCAKE"*

And I just found out that this is originally a song by Swings feat. BrotherSu, which I also listened to it right after. I like both versions of the song but I think I’m leaning more towards Giriboy’s version. DON’T HATE ME SWINGS FANS I’M SORRY TT.

The first notes being strung when the song opens are literally my heartstrings being played with holy mother of Time Lords. And I don’t know there’s just this really strange element to his voice that gives off that emotion and the lyrics of the song agh.

Okay I'm not THAT good at deciphering meanings, but going along with the lyrics in the video, it seems like the girl that he loves and wants to take care of is selling herself to other men to get by or it's because of family problems? I'm not fully clear on that part but he's trying his hardest to understand her on her level and is letting her know that he's there, that he's not going to leave her because of how much more fragile she is as a whole. That's pretty damn deep if you ask me.

There isn't much to the video other than the girl sort of just rolling around the whole time, I guess withering in pain and this one other guy that's shown twice LOL. So yeah, I'd say to watch the video for the lyrics first since it's just been released a few hours ago, then close your eyes and only listen to the music the second time. By now Happycake is rocking back in forth in a puddle of her own tears because of how beautiful this song is and sounds. GOODBYE WORLD
