Love Ya~ SS501
Click to viewYup, it's another pimping post. We all encounter them on our Friends Page, and unless we are already a fan of the artist or pretty sure that the friend recommending it has the same taste in music as us, most of us probably don't bother clicking to listen. (If you do, then I commend you for being more open-minded or generous with your time than me.) I doubt people will listen to my recommendation, too, but I'm going to ask anyway.
Because I bet that if you just listen to SS501's new song "Love Ya", you will instantly like it. Why? Because I think about 98% of people who listen to it, really, really like it, because no matter what language you speak or what kind of music you like, when you hear this, you just have to admit, damn this song is gooood. But mostly because it is amazingly EPIC. :O
Gorgeous melody, sweeping orchestra, strong beats, and passionate singing (and rapping), a grand, rapturous, perfect mix of classical and rock. The sexy but classy music video takes it even further with dramatic sets, eye-catching styles, and powerful and sensual choreography. If you're not too distracted by their fierce sexiness!, they I suggest you also try to read the English subtitles because the lyrics are my favorite, full of desperation and desire, totally fitting the Gothic romance of the song.
Seriously, even if I wasn't a huge SS501 fan, I'd still say "Love Ya" is one of the best songs I've ever heard, in composition, production, performance, everything. No joke, no hyperbole. So just... click play. That's all I'm asking. Once you hear it, you'll understand. Go on, try it. I dare you to not like this song!
EDIT TO ADD: Also check out these other versions: The instrumental version of "Love Ya" is a different wonderful experience but equally EPIC, beautiful, and stirring. Plus you get to hear all the lovely layers of sounds that you didn't notice when there were vocals, so you can further appreciate the song's brilliance. Or, if you're stubborn like emma_mage and refuse to fully admit how awesome the song is just because it's by a boy band or in a foreign lanuage XP, then try listening to the original English demo version by new American singer Michaelangelo. Frankly, I think the vocals aren't as nice and the lyrics sound kinda cheesier, but it's still really great, and it's cool to have an English version to sing along to. Enjoy!
