Music Monday|NIve — 2easy (Feat. Heize)

HEWOOOOOH FWENDS~~ It’s Minty with another Music Monday post~ Not gonna lie, yo’ girl been hella out of it. My sleep deprivation hit a new level… I was falling asleep while chopping stuff at work. It’s a good thing that I can apparently chop everything except my fingers… Despite my eyes being closed… (￣▽￣”)ゞ So I’ll try to make this short y’all~ Today we have another Korean R&B/Soul track! My recommendation for y’all today is NIve’s “2easy”, featuring Heize!~

A post shared by NIve (니브) (@thisisnive)

So let’s cover some background info because since many of you may be unfamiliar with NIve~ NIve/니브 is a singer, songwriter, composer, and producer. His real name is Park Ji Soo/박지수. He’s also known as Brian Park. Apparently he was born in the States, raised in Korea during his elementary years, and lived in Australia during his middle and early high school days. Then he moved back to the States. He participated as a contestant on [Superstar K 6], and even made it to the top 9. In 2018, he signed with 153 Entertainment. He made his debut in November 2018 with his single, “Getaway”. Since then, he’s also been credited with writing, composing, and producing songs for notable K-Pop artists like EXO, EXO’s Chen, Sam Kim, Jeong Sewoon, and Paul Kim. He also recently worked with BTS’ V (Kim Taehyung) to write and produce [Blue & Grey]. It was originally meant for V’s solo mixtape, but ended up being used for BTS’ recent album [BE]. If you read my Music Monday post on BE, you’ll know that “Blue & Grey” was one of my favorite tracks! I also really loved his track with Sam Kim (another one of my favorite artists), [Like A Fool].

This is a somewhat fresh release~ This track just dropped on November 26! This track also features K-R&B soloist, Heize. I loved her collabs with Dean, [And July] and [Shut Up And Groove]. She’s also done some OST contributions including the K-Drama [Hotel Del Luna] and my favorite drama, [Goblin]. “2easy” is an R&B/Soul track. It’s a sad love song full of lament and bitterness of a love that’s ending. There’s a back and forth about how love and breaking up just seems too easy. It’s a sad track, but I think it’s such a beautiful track. I love the strings in it too~

You can find “2easy” on Spotify, here:

Music Video

The MV definitely has that cold, empty, melancholy feeling to match the song and it’s lyrics. Especially when you consider seeing the colors, they’re darker and melancholy colors like grays instead of bright colors. You also have the cold scenery, dying plants, and bare branches. It correlates with their love no longer blooming, but coming coming to an end. Again there is some lament, desperation, and bitterness in this track. I love how it’s a back and forth. You hear the POV of each side.

Please don’t go, don’t go, don’t go
Just don’t leave my side
This is my last request
Tell me, tell me, tell me
How can you throw away this love so easily?
This is my last request to ask of you 

That’s right, breaking up is too easy for you
That’s right, that’s how it is for you
That’s right, love is too easy for you
That’s right, that’s how it is for you 

NIve Feat. Heize|2easy|Translation by [Lyrics Translate]

Please don’t go, don’t go, don’t go
The words that once left my lips
Now, I am hearing them from you
Tell me, tell me, tell me
That you at least loved me
This is my last request to you 

That’s right, breaking up was easier to me
That’s right, that’s how it was for me
That’s right, it was just too easy to you
That’s right, that’s how it was for you

NIve Feat. Heize|2easy|Translation by [Lyrics Translate]

The fact is love and relationships can be complex. It can be quite hard, and difficulty, concerns, and so on can lead to a love and relationship easily coming to an end. Love isn’t always happy and beautiful moments. It can be full of sadness and pain. Sometimes you have to make a hard choice for what’s best for you. However, it’s still an experience that we learn from and prepares us for the next one. Sometimes, it’s not really anyone’s fault. It’s just not meant to be. It’s a bit sad and bitter, but that’s just how it is sometimes.

Thanks to you
The next time will be easier for me
I doubt that I’ll be missing you
I won’t be sitting around waiting for you
So do whatever you want to do
Let’s not regret the past
We just didn’t know better
It wasn’t anyone’s fault

Lyric Translation

That’s right, love is too easy for you
That’s right, that’s how it is for you 

It can’t be our last kiss
No, not today
I’m asking again and again 

Because the cold wind is blowing
Because the cold rain is falling
It just can’t be today 

Please don’t go, don’t go, don’t go
Just don’t leave my side
This is my last request
Tell me, tell me, tell me
How can you throw away this love so easily?
This is my last request to ask of you 

That’s right, breaking up is too easy for you
That’s right, that’s how it is for you
That’s right, love is too easy for you
That’s right, that’s how it is for you 

Yeah that’s right, breaking up is easier
‘Cause there’s a clear reason for me to be sad
Love seemed to be such an easy thing for you
You always knew how to make it so 

Please don’t go, don’t go, don’t go
The words that once left my lips
Now, I am hearing them from you
Tell me, tell me, tell me
That you at least loved me
This is my last request to you 

That’s right, breaking up was easier to me
That’s right, that’s how it was for me
That’s right, it was just too easy to you
That’s right, that’s how it was for you 

All of the sudden, you’re so far away
In a place that I can’t reach
Without any regrets, oh
Right here means nothing without you
Please don’t leave 

Thanks to you
The next time will be easier for me
I doubt that I’ll be missing you
I won’t be sitting around waiting for you
So do whatever you want to do
Let’s not regret the past
We just didn’t know better
It wasn’t anyone’s fault 

Oh baby
It’s too easy, baby
Love is just too easy

BLACK LIVES MATTER

AS A GROUP OF BIPOC, BAYOG strongly stands with Black Lives Matter. We are all too familiar with the racism that we, our friends, and family have faced on a daily basis. Every life is precious. However, as BIPOC, we also recognize that black people are a group of people that face extreme racism and at a higher risk for their safety. We’ve individually done several donations. Of course, donations to support the cause and support change isn’t the only thing needed. Support for the cause and change also requires conversation and understanding. Make sure to have those conversations. Please remember to be an active supporter, be it through donations, sharing information, and/or conversations and speaking up.

If you can, please consider donating. I’ve donated more than once as well. For one of my donations, I donated through the BTS ARMY x BLM project. I recommend that if you’re unsure of where to donate. This is because the donation will be split amongst several different non-profit organizations. Of course, you can also choose a specific organization(s) if you wish as well. You can find that [HERE].

• http://useyourvoice.carrd.co

Stay strong. Fight racism, brutality, injustice, and bullshit. Don’t lose sight of the goal. We’re witnessing and being a part of history. Be allies and make sure change happens. Once again, BLACK LIVES MATTER.
