(Please read!)
These aren’t their official positions, but that’s because their official positions haven’t been updated since their time as MINX (that’s what Dreamcatcher was previously called before they re-debuted as ‘Dreamcatcher’)
Notes:
Handong was participating in a Chinese survival show “Youth with You” (but due to COVID, after she was eliminated, she was unable to come back to South Korea and resume activities with the other members of Dreamcatcher) so she was absent during SCREAM, Endless Night, & BOCA era, but she fortunately came back during Odd Eye
P.S
I have been an InSomnia for 4 years now! I’ve known them since ‘You And I’ was released, but I unfortunately only became a fan during SCREAM’s release.
…
Some B-Side recommendation!
1. In the Frozen (Psytrance/EDM)
2. Red Sun (has a special clip + the meaning behind ‘Red Sun’ in Korean is that it is a form of hypnosis + choreographed by the one and only SuA!!!)
3. Black or White (a tribute to Micheal Jackson + funk/rock fusion)
4. Whistle (EDM)
5. Starlight (Synthwave)
6. AllDaylong (Written and composed by JiU + Citypop)
7. Wind Blows (Title track contender + chants are amazing at concerts!)
8. Locked Inside a Door (SuA’s cusses in this but it’s censored lol)
9. Jazz Bar (it’s not as jazzy of a song but its really nice regardless)
10. Lullaby (one of my favourite ballads from them)
11. New Days (I believe Dami participated in writing and composing this)
12. Silent Night (this song is perfection please give it a listen!)
13. Daybreak (a criminally under-appreciated song, it’s so soft and sweet please give it some love!)
14. Shatter (special clip & I know it might not be everyone’s taste but I personally love it)
15. Tension (they have a English version of this song, unfortunately they never released that version of it)
16. Sleep-walking (special clip, omg this is the mother of Silent Night and In the Frozen lol)
17. Rising (Holy Cow, SuA’s high note let’s Go!!!!)
18. Polaris (one of my favourite rock ballads, please give it some love!!!)
19. Demian (lord have mercy on thy soul + special clip + choreographed by SuA!!!! Bestie is slayyyying)
20. Can’t Get You Out of My Mind (big title I know, and it’s their first full English track!)
21. Propose (most of the song is in English!!! + one of Dami’s best raps imo)
22. July 7th (based on the Chinese Legend where the star lovers ‘Altair’ and ‘Vega’ are usually separated, and only allowed to come together once a year! I find this adorable)
23. Trap (I love this song it’s so good)
24. Diamond (the instrumental is fireeeeee!!!!)
25. Break the Wall (you need to watch the showcase for this song because OMG!!!)
26. Sahara (arguably their most comical/entertaining special clip)
There’s so much more, so please go and check out their full discography! They are extremely versatile!
…
I have ADHD so this was hard to compile without me getting distracted, so I’d really appreciate it if you could comment down below your favourite song, and or any fun fact that you know and would like to share about Dreamcatcher!!!
Fun fact:
Handong doesn’t like her orange hair during their ‘What’ promotions. I personally think it looks stunning on her.
(Thank you for taking the time to read all of this! And for fellow InSomnia’s, if you believe that this information is inaccurate, please let me know so that I can make changes or add additional notes, I’d really appreciate it!)
