    Did you hear what other SM artist songs are featured in this cover? 😏 (there's 2 others)
    Edit: Yep, one is Black Mamba. The second one happens during the bridge of this cover and is a bside from a different artist!

      Any Kpop song with enough interesting changes in the track can be played wonderfully like a classical composition, but also needs to be changed a bit like Sean did here :) .. for example, the 'Red Flavor orchestra version' done by Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and released by SM. was done very well by using variety of classical instruments !

    2:04 the chords in this part with the prechorus melody makes it so eerie and really enhances this paranoid feeling of someone watching you, like aespa or æ being watched by the Black Mamba? i just kinda imagined this as the opposite of the original song, it feels like it's in the perspective of the villain instead of the hero. idk i just love it but UGH IT'S SO GOOD SEAN YOU GENIUS OF A MUSICIAN
