Music Video BEcause
‘BEcause’ is a song with an occult-like vibe. It’s about intense love that changes into obsession. The letters “BE” were capitalized in “BEcause” in order to highlight the double meaning of the title. “It means both ‘because’ [in English] and the word ‘be‘ in Korean, which means sadness.” - Jiu (Weekly Idol)

Track List
“The ‘Intro’ is what opens the door to Dreamcatcher’s summer horror concept.
“BEcause” brings the sound fans have come to love. Chilling sounds of darkness and rock. Oddly enough the song is about an unhealthy love obsession. “It’s okay, even if you reject me. Another voice of mine will call you instead,” hints at the dual personality of someone who doesn’t want their love to be ignored. As if they will change themselves to try and please the one they love. Multiple personalities or doppelganger hints were thrown around during Dreamcatcher’s first reality show on YouTube, which you can find here.
‘Airplane’ is about the feeling of going on a trip under blue skies. We can’t travel right now in these times, so we hoped that listeners could feel like they were traveling through our clear voices.
Airplane takes you back to the late 90’s vibe of a road trip taken during a teen, summer movie.
‘Whistle’ has an addictive whistling melody that makes you think of a beach under a night sky. Whistle returns the vibe to a melancholy angst of a summer love that will end soon. “Can you stay with me in my arms? Blow the whistle again. Would you stay with me? Whistle, whistle in my heart.” This song has some amazing post-chorus vocals that take you on a roller coaster just the same way a fleeting romance can.
‘Alldaylong’ is a song in the city pop genre. It’s a genre that Jiu really like and she got the chance to make it here. It’s a song about a destined love. Jiu worked on the song while thinking, ‘It would be nice if Dreamcatcher tried this genre. “Alldaylong” is a totally different vibe. City-pop being a loose, electro funk sound having come from Japan in the 1970s and 1980s, this pleasant jam was written by the groups leader Jiu after another member, Yoohyeon, had comforted Jiu during a hard time. “When I close my eyes, hugging you warmly. I think it’ll comfort my world” This song has the feel of a night out on the town, with that warm but cool breeze in the air.
‘A Heart of Sunflower’ is about a faithful heart that doesn’t change, like a sunflower. The image of a song being sung around a camp fire at the end of summer comes to mind. The lyrics hitting hard about the reality of the lost love from Whistle. Another epic ballad to ease you into acceptance…maybe. The dueling vocals bring the song to a climax that closes the summer adventures. source
