The One About Letting Go…

Lately i have been hooked on Asian movies, music, and stuff. (hey, i’m Filipino, i’m asian too…) and Koren music is on the top of my list.. i don’t know, there’s something about korean music that catches your attention. it’s either, the melody, the message, or the feel of the songs that just captures you or the dance moves that accompanies these songs. For example, Wondergirl’s “Nobody” was in my head for almost a month. honestly!

Another thing about korean music is that they incorporate upbeat music with sad lyrics. it’s a new mix compared to a melodramatic songs that would make you feel so low. Korean songs are just wow. hahaha..

Recently, i’ve been listening to Super Junior, Big Bang, F.T Island, and 2PM… These are “Boy Groups” from Korea and i guess, i like their music because their lyrics are placed in the point of view of the guys. and somehow, i can feel their message. I like their music, seperately, but Super Junior really catches my attention, specially their “Sorry, Sorry” and “Don’t Don” albums.

“Sorry, Sorry” album is full of songs that are so full of emotions. Sad songs that can really hit you in the spot. it’s hard for guys to admit how they feel towards someone. Sometimes they even try to hide the pain after breaking-up. It’s all about pride and Machismo. but Super Junior changes all that. They sang songs expressing how they felt that, us guys, can relate too. specially in the”Sorry, Sorry” album, most of the songs are just sad and about breaking up or wanting to turn back the time to have another chance. Most of the guys in our generation wouldn’t admit that they still love that special someone. Instead, they will try to find anothe to cover-up the feeling they have.

well, i’m sorry if this entry is kind of unorganized. i just wrote what’s on my mind.

i like this song from Super Junior. It’s called “She’s Gone”… listen to it, and feel the song, you might end up tearing.

She’s Gone (English Translation)

When did you start becoming weary of me
What burdens did I give you
To you, no longer say anything
I’ve become unable to ask now
Without the usual grumbling
Still smiling that polite smile
Losing the sadness that passed by your eyes
I’m sorry, it was absentminded stupidity on my part
my love

When I see you with your back turned to me
The time love clearly took
Now I can see it too
Like a time of separation
I saw it comingI didn’t know you were such a part of me
If I could turn it all backNo, if you would smile for me just once more
By myself, I’m unable to hold your heart
Because of foolish pride, I’m sorry
my love

When I look at how cold you’ve become
The separation spreading in this instance
Now I know there’s nothing to be done
In the name of love
Slowly like changing colors
Love is leaving me
I didn’t know I had it to begin with
Even words of apology
Although I’m as sorry as this
What could a person like me
Say and how could I say it
Like I can’t breathe, I’m dizzy
Inside lost time
Even if I roam quickly
The only thing I could do now
Is that I can’t do anything
When I see you with your back turned to me
The time love clearly took
Now I can see it too
Like a time of separation
I saw it coming
I didn’t know you were such a part of me
