Say Sue Me - Good for Some Reason (Winter/Spring)
Busan's Say Sue Me reworked the 2016 single 'Good For Some Reason' following the death of Semin Kang, the bands original drummer. The Winter and Spring versions are very different in character from the sombre almost slocore winter version to the upbeat jolty spring version.

Released digitally worldwide on Friday 28th Feb on Damnably/Electric Muse.
In their own words:
"The song was originally released for the first time since Semin’s accident in 2016. It wasn't much different from what we've been doing until then. At the time, I seemed to have been unable to get away with the high levels of lethargy, sadness and pessimism. After such a long time, I wondered why I was suffering from the habit of being easily pessimistic, and someone said, "It's because it's the easiest thing to do." This sadness is uncontrollable and sad is sad. Even now, I simply don't think it's easy. I don't think everything will be alright, everything’s not a big deal, but I'd like to think so. I want to train such an idea. It’s just nice to be able to be fun, even though I look silly and feel ashamed. I’d like to live with the feeling like everything is just good for some reason.
Semin passed away in the fall of 2019, and we went through yet another and enormous amount of grief and lethargy. And we changed the original song into the winter and spring versions. As we sing the song with a change of season, we want to keep in mind the belief that everything will be good for some reason."
