I guess you can probably tell, but I got into the music scene pretty early in life. I'm 22 right now. It helped that my brother is 5 years older, so I basically got exposed to great music way earlier than the norm I guess. Anyway, Kai is one of my first music loves. (probably shows you what generation I come from- the last part of the gangster AZN age right before the punk era began haha) They're part of the 90's influx of low key R&B asian harmonic groups (Azn Dreamers, One Voice, Devotion, etc.) who sang about love. I remember listening to them over and over again for years, and as I pulled out the cds last night and listened this morning, I still remember every single lyrics from all of their songs. Pretty great. Don't you just love those great throwback bands and music that settle you with a great warm feeling of goodness? Amazing this thing called nostalgia. We always seem to be longing for the past. I guess it makes sense because we always want what we can't have. And albeit the past will never come again. But the great souvenirs left, the momentos that you sentimentally choose to keep, are so special that it seems to make the unattainable a just that much less yearnful.
It's weird, yet so great how certain reminiscent reminders act as enablers and can suddenly send you back into a state of mind of which wraps you up in this protective force field of a blissful and uplifted part of the world (that often gets hard to reach the more time passes with age) If only for just a moment, sometimes a moment is all we need.
If you're into the soft and sweet old school R&B sound, check them out. (figures where my love for R&B stemmed from haha) I love every single one of their songs.
All of their songs are so great, but I can hardly post every single one. Just two albums before their retirement in 2001. Self-titled Kai and The Promise, I can't choose which one is my favorite. Today is such a good day. (:
