Korean Music: Sad Songs

Jul 30, 2013 20:26

Nothing particularly bad happened today, I'm just feeling bleh and wanna listen to some sad tunes. Let's be mopey together.

1. Ha Dong Gyun: From Mark (lyrics)
This guy has an incredible voice, and yet this is the only song of his I know. I should fix that...
I definitely chose this one for the song, not the video, but it's still a bit interesting. Yes, those are the lyrics of the songs that keep popping up, in case you're wondering.

2. 10cm - Nothing Without You
I've posted a 10cm song on here before, when I saw them live at BML Festival. This song was barely on my radar until a couple weeks ago when I woke up with it in my head and a craving to listen to it about 20 times.
Lyrics in the video.

3. Monni - Forever In My Heart
I actually love Monni for their rock music, and I'm excited to (hopefully) see them at Lets Rock Festival in September! But this mopey love song ain't bad either. I hate the music video, so here's a live version from last year's BML festival. Live. Unf. Just listen to his voice in that chorus. <3

4. Nell - To Regret 미련에게
It wouldn't be a post full of sad music without a little Nell. They're in my top 5 Korean bands and they're also scheduled to play at Let's Rock Festival, so I really really really hope I can go see them!
I already posted about them in my Rainbow Fest recap, and any friends who read my non-Korea blog may have already heard "Rain of Leaves" and "The Day Before," both of which are beautiful songs for rainy days. The music video for The Day Before is probably one of the saddest MVs I have seen, not just for Korean music but for music in general. I cried. Several times. That's not liquid sweetener he's pouring into this coffee.
Anyways, today I'll post a different sad song. This is "To Regret," as in "Dear Regret," not the infinitive of the verb.

5. Kim Jin Ho - 아무것도 팔요가 없는 사랑 (something like "love that doesn't need anything")
What the heck, let's make it an even five. This one's really recent - it just came out 2 weeks ago!

Enough of that. Time to watch Teen Wolf. Preparing for dramatic mood shift in 5, 4, 3, 2...
