#502 The Grasshopper Song

Probably my favourite song for the month of January. The Grasshopper Song, by Sunny Hill.

The MV was created out from the concept of The Ant and the Grasshopper, from Aesop Fables, just that they interpreted it differently. I think it was supposed to be a story where the grasshopper changed for the better and become more hardworking but the MV made a twist and all the ants became lazy and party like the grasshopper instead.

Initially when you listen to this song, you get the upbeat tempo and would like to dance to it but the more you listen to it, the song just had a slow transition to a sad song. I have no idea how to explain this but it was just what I felt. The first day it was released, I listened to it for the whole day, and all I wanted to do was dance to it. However, the next day where I played it, I just felt morose.

Try listening to it via headphones. The sound travels from one ear to another at the start of the song, providing an all together different feeling.

Really great song. Sunny Hill and Brown Eyed Girls are probably the only two groups with meaningful MVs. Its like, there is an hidden story to it and you must interpret it further to realize what the whole MV is about.
