This is the official music video of my most favourite song at this moment. That Man (그남자) - sang by Hyun Bin - is one of the soundtracks of Korean drama Secret Garden. Hyun Bin himself is the lead actor in this drama. This song is very popular that it reached the first spot on some music charts in South Korea. No wonder, since the drama itself is very popular in South Korea. The song is beautiful, especially the piano. Since Hyun Bin himself sang this song, by listening to this song I can feel the emotion of the characters, just like when I'm watching the drama.
By the way, congratulations to Secret Garden casts for winning:
2010 SBS Drama Awards: Top Excellence Award, Actor - Drama Special (Hyun Bin) 2010 SBS Drama Awards: Top Excellence Award, Actress - Drama Special (Ha Ji Won) 2010 SBS Drama Awards: Netizen Popularity Award - Drama 2010 SBS Drama Awards: Netizen Popularity Award (Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won) 2010 SBS Drama Awards: Best Couple Award (Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won)
Finally TVXQ made their official comeback on the first Music Bank in 2011 by performing two songs 'How Can I' and 'Keep Your Head Down'. Please check their flawless live performances here:
'How Can I' is one of my favourite songs on their album. Watching them singing this song live today made me have got watery eyes. Somehow, their voices are powerful yet soothing.
By the way, I support Jaejoong, Yunho, Yoochun, Junsu, and Changmin, not only 2 of them of 3 of them. I'm not their big fans but I wish them all the best.
The song I currently listen to. Finally TVXQ released the comeback track + music video "Keep Your Head Down" on January 3, 2011. What's the song about? Just read the translated lyric and you'll figure out what this song is about. Listen to their strong and charismatic voices and watch their impressive choreography. By the way, they're releasing their new album today, January 5, 2011. I can't wait to listen to the whole tracks. I hope this album will be a great success.
"Keep Your Head Down"
Keep your head down U-Know time (Max) You know what time it is? This is return of the king
(Everything has ended) I didn’t even start yet (We broke up) I haven’t even heard the reason yet Everyone around me keeps asking me why I’m like this Why are you like that, why are you like that? I’m already the bad guy
(If it’s a sin) If loving you was a sin (If that was a shin) If being genuine is a sin (I’ll keep it low, I’ll keep it low) I’ll hold it in and stand my ground
(Keep your head down) You look pretty, but inside you’re so different, that’s what I’m afraid of (Keep your head down) I said I loved you but I’ll let you go
(Why?) Did you leave me so easily (Why?) Did I look easy to you? (Why?) My heart is ripping to shreds (Why?) If every moment was a dream (Why?) If only I had the time to set it right (Why?) I prayed for your happiness
I was always satisfied with having you I was happy to dream the same dream as you no matter what they said I had to let you go, but I’m just walking my path anyway Now I’m just chillin’, Feel like I’m healing
It’s too late, you said you can’t come back You’ve always believed that I’d crumble without you That’s a misunderstanding, why would I do that? why, why, I told you I wouldn’t
(Hey) I was really, really sad, because you were so immature and I was afraid you’d meet someone bad (Why? baby)
(Keep your head down) You’re really pretty, but that’s all there is to you, there’s nothing important inside of you (Keep your head down) A nail is driven into the heart that is holding in the pain of love
(Why?) Why (Why?) You let go of our love so easily (Why?) Did you ever think that someone would get worried? (Why?) I don’t think you know yet (Why?) Exactly just what you let go of (Why?) Just remain there and watch me grow
Ha~ Don’t play with people like that In front of me, all you do is speak of lies You’re such a two-faced person (Why why why) Since when did our crystal-like feelings become so opaque? Our love has ended, I’ve let you go, and now my heart is empty But my future is gesturing towards me to get up and smile I’m letting you go, live happily (why why why) One day far from now, far from now, I want to just smile comfortably
(Why?) Why (Why?) You let go of our love so easily (Why?) Did you ever think that someone would get worried? (Why?) I don’t think you know yet (Why?) Exactly just what you let go of (Why?) Just remain there and watch me grow
(Keep your head down) Erased, disappeared, you’ve burned to death in my heart (Keep your head down) Erased, disappeared, you’ve died in my heart and you no longer exist
Have your ever watched your favourite singer/band/music group's performance live? For me, great singers/bands/music groups have to be able to perform their songs live AND the songs have to be as good as the studio versions. Obviously, I'm not a music expert. But, somehow... Usually I (maybe most of us) can notice if there are too many differences between the live version and the studio version of a song. Sometimes (or mostly), the studio version is much better. There's 'something missing' from the live version. I can't complain about a simple music show but if it's about a music concert (even though I just watch it through video) I immediately think about a big stage, live band, great music skills, amazing vocals, etc. It's the chance for the singers/bands/music groups to show us their true quality. OK, I'll stop blabbering now and I'll share about my favourite live music performance.
Have you ever heard about South Korean music group, TVXQ? You can read their complete profile HERE. For me, TVXQ is the best music/idol group in South Korea - despite the lawsuit case against the company. In 2009, TVXQ held their fourth concert tour, Tohoshinki 4th Live Tour 2009: The Secret Code which ended at the Tokyo Dome. The concert was truly fabulous. My most favourite part is when they sang Bolero. Bolero is TVXQ's 25th Japanese single. It became the theme song for a Japanese movie, Subaru. The first time I listened to this song (studio version) my first thought was: WOW! You need a great vocal skill to sing this song. When I watched their live version from The Secret Code video I was: SPEECHLESS! Their live version was totally better than the studio version. I was amazed! For me, their harmonization was perfect and the live music made it better. I'll be waiting for them to get together and sing this song again.
You taught me everything
And everything you've given me
I always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, yeah
There isn't anything
Or anyone I can be
And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side
You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be what you have been to me
You'll always be you always will be the girl
In my life for all times
Mama, mama you know I love you
Oh you know I love you
Mama, mama you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin' you is like food to my soul
You're always down for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes you did
And you took up for me
When everyone was downin' me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on
There was so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You'll always be
You will always be the girl in my life
