Song of the day: Now ~No Tomorrow~ - Trouble Maker

"Trouble Maker - '내일은 없어 (Now)' M/V" (Watch on YouTube)

Troublemaker, the duo comprised of Hyuna from 4minute and Hyunseung from B2st, has finally released another single called Now ~ we have no tomorrow~.
I don't like the song quite as much as their first single, the eponymous Troublemaker, but I love the concept and the video.

Bonnie and Clyde are having a huge resurgence in popularity right now. There's a musical, both here and in Korea, two TV shows beginning soon, and our local theater had a modern-art play telling their story only a month or two again.
The video for Now sets Hyuna and Hyunseung up as a sort of modern day Bonnie and Clyde - according to official statements - and although they don't actually seem to much actual criminal activity other than setting posters on fire. But it does capture the sort of doomed romance and us against the world feeling which is the reason that the myth built up around Bonnie and Clyde has continued to capture the public imagination for so long. 

Hyunseung is a cool and slightly effeminate Clyde, with his silver hair and slim body, a party boy drowning in booze and threesomes who can't seem to stop fooling around despite his love for Hyuna's Bonnie, or how much it makes him hate himself. Hyuna, with her blonde almost-bob and her red lipstick, makes a punk and tough Bonnie, with just as much, if not more fire and passion than Clyde. Both succeed in looking pretty badass, and of course they have great chemistry.  They drink and sleep with - or refuse, in Hyuna's case - other people, argue and push each other around, only to end up back in bed together, drawn together as the only ones who can understand each other, thinking back on happier times before their worse impulses got the better of them, doomed but unable to pull themselves away.



LYRICS:
(black is both, pink is Hyuna, blue is Hyunseung)

Tell me now now now
Tell me now now now
Before today is over
Tell me now now now now now now

You stopped but you make me hesitate again.

You don't say anything, you just like you were yesterday
Look me in the eyes and tell me
before this night ends, because the light fades


Let's not leave like this again.
While we hesitate, time keep on ticking
I don’t wanna go
This is the last time. This is the end.

*Come to me now and tell me. We have no tomorrow.
Don't hesitate.
Before it's too late, now
Don't push me farther and farther away
The two of us, here and now
Before we disappear 
 
Tell me now now now
Tell me now now now
Before today is over
Tell me now now now now now now

We don't have any more tomorrows
So call my name
Bring it up right now in your own words, confess it to me
On this road,
I just want to rely on you. (Rely on you)

Let's not drift apart like this again.
While we hesitate, time keep on ticking
I don’t wanna go
This is the last time. This is the end.



*chorus


We're together in this maze
You're the only one I can rely on
Close your eyes and hold me me in your arms.
Because tomorrow will never come again

*chorus
