The Most poignant Melody: BTS Jin's 'Tonight' and the Saddest Songs of 2019
Music has the power to touch the human heart in a profound way, evoking emotions that sometimes feel almost unbearable. One song that resonated deeply with countless music lovers in 2019 was BTS's 'Tonight.' In fact, it might be considered one of the most poignant melodies of the year, as seen from the perspective of one music enthusiast who shared their thoughts on what made this song so incredibly sad.
Emotionally Richest Composition in 2019
While I can't claim that 'Tonight' was the saddest song of 2019 for everyone, as we all have our unique tastes and emotional triggers, it was undoubtedly the most emotionally jarring for me. The song 'Tonight,' performed by BTS member Jin, was a stunningly emotional journey through loss and remembrance. The first time I listened to this song without English subtitles, I was overwhelmed with intense feelings. However, after reading the English subtitles, my emotions were even more profound. Jin revealed that he wrote the song to reflect on the loss of his beloved pets who had passed away.
Behind the Melody: Jin's Personal Tragedies
Jin, known for his introspective and reserved nature, often doesn't open up about his personal feelings. Nevertheless, through this song, he allowed us a glimpse into his deepest emotions. The pets that he lost meant much more to him than one might initially think. They were his best friends, companions, and sources of comfort in his life. The memory of these pets has left an indelible mark on Jin's heart, as evidenced by his difficulty in holding back tears during his livestream in 2017 when talking about losing his sugar glider, a pet that shared a special bond with him.
An Ode to Memory and Love
For many devoted fans and pet lovers, the loss of a beloved pet is heartbreaking. It's not just about the animal; it's about the emotional connection and the memories. Jin's pets were not just mere possessions but family and sources of joy in his life. The loss of these pets, especially in 2017 with Jjanggu, in 2018 with Jjomuk, and in 2019 with Odeng, underscored the emotional toll that such losses can take. These pets were not just companions but significant figures in Jin's heart, as he described their importance with both words and tears.
Supporting His Journey Through Grief
The journey through grief is not just a personal matter but also one that many fans wish to support. Jin's music serves as a medium through which he can both process and share his emotions. It is a form of healing and also a way to connect with others who have experienced similar losses. As fan communities, like ARMY, stepped forward to offer support, it became clear that the power of music transcends mere entertainment. It can be a balm for the soul, providing solace during times of deep sorrow.
So, while it's not feasible to pinpoint a single 'saddest song' of 2019, the emotional depth and authenticity of BTS Jin's 'Tonight' make it a standout track. The song serves as both a tribute to lost pets and a reflection of emotional resilience. If you too have lost a dear companion and find solace in music, perhaps 'Tonight' can be a comforting melody for your heart.
