Akdong Musician - Melted



Hi! I would like to tell you about a song from Akdong Musician, which titled Melted. Akdong Musician is a South Korean music duo under YG Entertainment, consisting of siblings Lee Chanhyuk and Lee Suhyun.



Melted describes the situation in the future. Where people grow older, more problems will be encountered. Supposedly adults provide warmth, but these problems were the thing that finally made their hearts grew cold and freeze. This is the lyrics:

English:
The blue ocean that the red sun used to wash its face turns black
The white sky that had clouds and rain and the wind turns gray
I leave the darkness that finds my heart
Even the cold shadow that covers the night starts to harden
If the ice melts, a warmer song would have come out
But why is the ice so cold? Why is it so cold?
Why are they so cold
Why are they so cold
The blue ocean that the red sun used to wash its face
I look at the past warmth that is deeply buried (too late get it out)
I wish the cold in the world of adults would be gone too
I wish the frozen love will melt away now
I leave the darkness that finds my heart
Even the cold shadow that covers the night starts to harden
If the ice melts, a warmer song would have come out
But why is the ice so cold? Why is it so cold?
If the ice melts, a warmer song would have come out
But why is the ice so cold? Why is it so cold?
Why are they so cold
Why are they so cold

Korea (hangul and romanized):
붉은 해가 세수하던 파란 바다 검게 물들고
bulgeun haega sesuhadeon paran bada geomge muldeulgo
구름 비바람 오가던 하얀 하늘 회색 빛들고
gureum bibaram ogadeon hayan haneul hoesaek bitteulgo
맘속에 찾아온 어둠을 그대로 두고
mamsoge chajaon eodumeul geudaero dugo
밤을 덮은 차가운 그림자마냥 굳어간다
bameul deopeun chagaun geurimjamanyang gudeoganda
얼음들이 녹아지면
eoreumdeuri nogajimyeon
조금 따뜻한 노래가 나올텐데
jogeum deo ttatteutan noraega naoltende
얼음들은 그렇게 차가울까
eoreumdeureun wae geureoke chagaulkka
차가울까요
chagaulkkayo
Why are they so cold
Why are they so cold
붉은 해가 세수하던 파란 바다
bulgeun haega sesuhadeon paran bada
깊이 묻힌 온기를 바라본다
geu gipi muchin yet ongireul barabonda
too late get it out
too late get it out
어른들 세상 추위도 풀렸으면
eoreundeul sesang chuwido pullyeosseumyeon hae
얼었던 사랑이 이젠 주위로 흘렀으면
eoreotdeon sarangi ijen juwiro heulleosseumyeon hae
맘속에 찾아온 어둠을 그대로 두고
mamsoge chajaon eodumeul geudaero dugo
밤을 덮은 차가운 그림자마냥 굳어간다
bameul deopeun chagaun geurimjamanyang gudeoganda
얼음들이 녹아지면
eoreumdeuri nogajimyeon
조금 따뜻한 노래가 나올텐데
jogeum deo ttatteutan noraega naoltende
얼음들은 그렇게 차가울까
eoreumdeureun wae geureoke chagaulkka
차가울까요
chagaulkkayo
얼음들이 녹아지면
eoreumdeuri nogajimyeon
조금 따뜻한 노래가 나올텐데
jogeum deo ttatteutan noraega naoltende
얼음들은 그렇게 차가울까
eoreumdeureun wae geureoke chagaulkka
차가울까요
chagaulkkayo
Why are they so cold
Why are they so cold

cuscus

The cuscus is a large marsupial native to the Northern forest of Australia and the large, tropical island of Papua New Guinea.
The cuscus is known to range in size from just 15cm to more than 60cm in length, although the average sized cuscus tends to be around 45cm (18inches). The cuscus has small ears and large eyes which aid the cuscus through it's nocturnal lifestyle.
Cuscus can survive in different ecosystems: tropical rainforests, mangroves and dense forests at high altitudes (3900 feet).
The cuscus is an arboreal mammal, and spends it's life almost exclusively in the trees. The cuscus rests in the trees during the day, sleeping in the dense foliage and awakens at night to start moving through the trees in search of food. The cuscus is an omnivorous animal but the cuscus mainly eats leaves and fruits occasionally feasting on small birds and reptiles. Pythons and birds of prey are main predators of cuscus.
The cuscus is thought to breed throughout the year rather than having a strict breeding season. The mother cuscus gives birth to between 2 and 4 baby cuscus after a gestation period of just a couple of weeks. As with all marsupials, the female cuscus has a pouch on her tummy which the new born cuscus babies crawl into and stay until they are bigger, less vulnerable and able to start feeding themselves. Typically only one of the cuscus babies will survive and emerge from the pouch after 6 or 7 months.
The cuscus has a long and very strong prehensile tail which is naked (has no fur) at the end. The cuscus also has long, sharp claws which help the cuscus when it is moving around in the trees. The cuscus has thick, woolly fur which can be a variety of colours including brown, tan and white.
When the cuscus was first discovered, scientists believed that the cuscus was a type of monkey due to the way that the cuscus moves through the trees and uses it's tail to grip onto branches. It was later discovered that the cuscus was actually most closely related to the possum.
Today the cuscus populations are declining mainly due to deforestation and therefore loss of the habitat in which the cuscus exists. More and more of the secluded forests where the cuscus dwells, is being cut down with the trees being sold to logging companies.
The cuscus is an elusive and very secretive animal that are extremely difficult to spot in the wild. It is said to be one of the most rewarding sights, if you spot a cuscus in it's natural habitat.

Mammatus Cloud

Hi, my name is Vivi Mutia Yuheva, I'll tell you about the natural phenomena that Mammatus cloud.
Mammatus, also known as mammatocumulus (meaning "mammary cloud") is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. The name mammatus is derived from the Latin mamma (meaning "udder" or "breast"). According to WMO International Cloud Atlas mamma is a cloud supplementary feature.
Mammatus are most often associated with the anvil cloud and also severe thunderstorms. They often extend from the base of a cumulonimbus, but may also be found under altocumulus, altostratus, stratocumulus, and cirrus clouds, as well as volcanic ash clouds. In the United States, sky gazers may be most familiar with the very distinct and more common cumulonimbus mammatus. When occurring in cumulonimbus, mammatus are often indicative of a particularly strong storm or maybe even a tornadic storm. Due to the intensely sheared environment in which mammatus form, aviators are strongly cautioned to avoid cumulonimbus with mammatus. They also attach to the bottom of other clouds.
Mammatus may appear as smooth, ragged or lumpy lobes and may be opaque or translucent. Because mammatus occur as a grouping of lobes. The individual mammatus lobe average diameters of 1–3 km and lengths on average of 0.5 km. A lobe can last an average of 10 minutes, but a whole cluster of mamma can range from 15 minutes to a few hours. They usually are composed of ice, but also can be a mixture of ice and liquid water or be composed of almost entirely liquid water.
True to their ominous appearance, mammatus clouds are often harbingers of a coming storm or other extreme weather system. While they may appear foreboding they are merely the messengers - appearing around, before or even after severe weather.
The existence of many different types of mammatus clouds, each with distinct properties and occurring in distinct environments.

One environmental trend is shared by all of the formation mechanisms hypothesized for mammatus clouds: sharp gradients in temperature, moisture and momentum (wind shear) across the anvil cloud/sub-cloud air boundary, which strongly influence interactions there in.
