Overview

Always is the first Korean EP by South Korean boy band Big Bang, released under YG Entertainment on August 16, 2007. Commercially, the album recorded pre-orders of 30,000 copies and sold over 55,000 copies by the end of October 2007. Legacy Always (2007) marked a change of BigBang's musical styles from their previous efforts, with the group experimenting with electronic dance music and setting it as the new music trend in Korea. It was also the first release in Korean's music industry to be promoted as a "mini-album". The lead single "Lies" (Korean: 거짓말; Revised Romanization: Geojitmal), composed by G-Dragon, was a no.1 hit, topping Cyworld charts for two months in a row, eventually becoming their break-out hit and Song of the Year in the 2007 Mnet Asian Music Awards. "Lies" was named the "Song of the Decade" by Mnet's M! Countdown. On 2016, it was labeled the "Top Male Idol Song in The Best 20 Years" by music experts. The song was revealed to be the second most downloaded in the past nine years in South Korea. Billboard stated that "Lies" placed BigBang "down the path into the realm of avant-garde experimentalism that they’ve become known for over the past few years" and called one of South Korea's "most memorable songs." The impact of the song was described by Kang Myung Suk - a music critic and former editor-in-chief of 10Asia magazine. Suk wrote "in that time, the one song ‘Lies’ satisfied all the music consumers in Korea. The ‘sound’ of this song was better than the normal kpop, and the melody development was easy for anyone to enjoy. Before ‘Lies’ came out, the music charts were dominated by medium tempo ballad songs." The composition was also praised, noting that "G-Dragon made this song with memorable rap and melody pieces" and admired the song for having "no useless parts". The critic concluded "‘Lies’ has the generation's code who wants to be a step forward in the trend but comfortable at the same time, and that wants to stand out but also somewhat mix in at the same time. This was a market that not exist before Bigbang's ‘Lies, and this was the moment where the idols met this generation’s emotions."

Notable quotes

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell, where his influence stops.”
— Henry Brooks Adams, in The Education of Henry Adams (1907), Chapter XX
“If we consider eternity, into that time never entered; eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is as a short parenthesis in a long period; and eternity had been the same as it is, though time had never been.”
— John Donne, Book of Devotions, Meditation 14 (1624)
“Eternity has no gray hairs! The flowers fade, the heart withers, man grows old and dies, the world lies down in the sepulchre of ages, but time writes no wrinkles on the brow of Eternity.”
— Reginald Heber, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 213
“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.”
— Norman Fitzroy Maclean in A River Runs Through It
