The music is also rather breathtaking. The composing of these songs is not a simple task and how someone can come up with songs like that is a mystery to me. So the fact that the artists actually write lyrics and compose is definitely a bonus for them.
I particularly like Jong Wan's vocals; he has an amazing range and a beautiful falsetto.
These videos are from their 'Stay' concert in 2008, before they left for military service. They're back now, but haven't done a big concert like this since. If you're in search of more videos from this concert, just open the video in another tab. Links to the other songs are in the vid description. ^^
Beautiful song called 'Tokyo'. Nell has a lot of heartbreak songs. ^^ This one is entirely in English an rather repetitive.
1:03 has an epic performance AND it's a pretty song. ^^ Love the digital clock flashing behind. ^^
12 Seconds was at the end of this concert. I was and still am SO impressed by Jong Wan's falsetto, even after all the singing he'd been doing! After 2-3 hours he would be tired, but his voice was still so strong. Amazing. XD
Aaaaand, from their most recent album, here is the song Slip Away and The Day Before.
The Day Before does have a music video, but it addresses a rather heartbreaking and touchy topic-suicide. So I didn't want to post it here.
Now, lyrics-
Tokyo
the love we make
the tears we cry
sometimes they’re just not real
the heart we break
the wounds we make
sometimes they just don’t heal
i think im losing weight again
i think im losing taste again
i think i broke my heart again
will you stay with me x2
i think i lost my love again
maybe i sold my heart again
i think im left with none but pain (?)
will you stay with me x2
the things we say
the things we hear
sometimes they’re just not real
the things we touch
the things we feel
sometimes there just not real
i think im losing weight again
i think im losing taste again
i think i broke my heart again
will you stay with me x2
i think i lost my love again
maybe i sold my heart again
i think im left with none but pain (?)
will you stay with me x2
will you stay
i think im losing weight again
i think im losing taste again
i think i broke my heart again
will you stay with me x2
i think i lost my love again
maybe i sold my heart again
i think im left with none but pain (?)
will you stay with me x2
will you stay x4
the love we make
the tears we cry
sometimes they’re just not real
sometimes they’re just not real
기생충 (Parasite)
English (doesn't make any sense, was Google-translated)
I'm above your head can hear your prayers
Wait for me to look very sukyeonhan
I get pain when you when you cry tears of blood
You could be happy and wait for me until
I'm in your pain and your suffering in the parasitic
Bleed for me a beautiful beetle.
I'm in your pain and your suffering in the parasitic
Beautiful beetle.
Your hypocrisy in your lies are parasitic
Beautiful beetle.
1:03
English-
regretting like this because I can't return
I can't forget so I carry it through my whole life
forgive my weak courage
and my worthless sorrow
a second like a minute, and a day like a year
it feels so long
memories of you that I thought I could forget
become clearer with time, now it feels like I can grasp them with my hands
I suppose it's impossible to become faint, the dark dark longing
I can't forget it so I carry it through my whole life
forgive my weak courage
and my immature everything
a second like a minute, and a day like a year
it feels so long
memories of you that I thought I could forget
become clearer with time, now it feels like I can grasp them with my hands
it feels like I can grasp them with my hands
resignation in front of regret, regret in front of tears
kneel like this
memories of you that I thought I could forget
become clearer with time, now it feels like I can grasp them with my hands
12 Seconds
노을지는 마음
sunset of my heart
마음..
heart..
파도치는 마음
waves of my heart
마음..
heart..
Don't break my heart x5
흘러가는 구름
flowing clouds
구름..
clouds..
잊혀지는 이름
a forgotten name
이름..
name..
Why did you have to go
Why did you have to go
Why did you have to go
You broke my heart (Why did you have to go)
x8
You broke my heart- you broke my heart x5
You broke my heart.
Slip Away
Until the last moment you’ve consoled me
But it’s as if you don’t know.
What is it that makes me miserable
I swell up at the days that are to be forgotten
More so than for the days when I will be left alone
It pains me that I can’t give you
More so than I can’t have you
But it’s as if you don’t know.
What is it that makes me miserable
I swell up at the days that are to be forgotten
More so than for the days when I will be left alone
It pains me that I can’t give you
More so than I can’t have you
“I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to make you cry
I only wanted to tell you”
I never meant to make you cry
I only wanted to tell you”
You turned away, but even then you worried about me
But it’s as if you don’t know
what is it that makes things so hard on me
It’s not the
Loneliness that is left alone,
The tear stained heart,
Entwined moment,
The one and only truth,
It’s the sorrowfulness that everything that will be forgotten
I swell up at my image even erasing the memories
The image that I would get so familiar with
But it’s as if you don’t know
what is it that makes things so hard on me
It’s not the
Loneliness that is left alone,
The tear stained heart,
Entwined moment,
The one and only truth,
It’s the sorrowfulness that everything that will be forgotten
I swell up at my image even erasing the memories
The image that I would get so familiar with
“I never meant to hurt you
Only wanted to tell you”
“That I am still in love with you”
Only wanted to tell you”
“That I am still in love with you”
The Day Before-
At first, it was really hard
I couldn't acknowledge it so it was torturous
But after I accepted it
Now it's just so sad
Actually, it's like this - what use is it to hold onto something that is scattering?
Only the heart will hurt more
But I wonder, what is the purpose of living like this?
At first, I hated you a lot
I cried a lot too
But after being like that for a while, I wondered what in the world I was doing
Actually, it's like this - what use is it to hold onto something that is scattering?
Only the heart will hurt more
But again I wonder, what is the purpose of living like this?
I wonder if we're sometimes standing in the same memory
I wonder if sometimes, time has stopped for you too
How about this break up? Is it withstandable?
Was the pain a bit less since you were ready?
How about love? Is it doable again?
Actually, I'm like this - I'm just afraid
This is all that I can say
Thinking hard about it alone, the words that let you go
It won't ever reach you - the words that let you go
