Despite of the
language barrier, these are some of the ballad songs that i found perfectly to
be heard when you are driving in the rain alone. What makes it perfect, even if
you're not speaking Korean, you still can grab the inner feelings of the song
once you heard it. Okay, get some tissue because these songs are the ultimate teardropper.
8. Lonely – 2NE1
This song tells
aboout the loneliness of one side in a relationship while they are still being
together. No matter how hard you try to keep the fire on, the feeling seems
like has faded away with time. Eventhough i haven’t felt the real connection
with the song, this is a song that many people can relate to, if they were
honest with themselves.
Best lyric part (in
English translation):
Baby, i’m sorry, eventhough with you, i’m
lonely.
7. Dear Mom – Girls’
Generation / SNSD
I never thought if it
possible to fall in love with 9 girls at one time but after hear this song, i
bet you will instantly love them. This song tells us about a grown up girl,
living all alone by herself but she found that she is as she is now because of
her mother that always love her unconditionally. Sing it at the Mother’s Day
and it will make your mom cries, for sure, even though she doesn’t get the
lyrics. Oh, the best part of the song is that Yuri got a whole verses to sing!
Best lyric part:
Though
I’ve made hurtful wrong choices, you silently watched over me from behind
(This is Yuri’s part, by the way).
6. No Matter How I
Think About It – Sweet Sorrow
This song maybe sound
familiar to you if you play Audition AyoDance or watch Running Man. This song
was sung by Sweet Sorrow, a four male group that may not as famous as Super
Junior yet but they definitely can sing!
Best lyric part:
If i
just be a little more honest I’m in the point that hurts too much, the point
that i look at you with the lonely eyes.
5. One Man – Kim Jong
Kook
Okay, first of all,
he is like the best ballader of Korean singers. Second of all, this song
expresses collective souls of guys that can’t tell their feelings to their
beloved ones but already happy seeing them from afar. No need for further
explanation. If you can’t relate to this song, you are either a robot or just
plain dumbfounded.
Best lyric part:
There’s
a girl who doesn’t know i’m like this. Who receives love but don’t know that it
is love.
4. Mistake – Girls’
Generation / SNSD
Eventhough they are
famous for their dance songs, SNSD has some good ballads to listen to. I posted
the lyric of the demo version, originally titled Watching Over Me, some days
ago. Another surprise, though Yuri only get a single line in this song, the
lyric is written by her! This after break-up song tells us about a girl that
humbly admits that the break up was because of her who is lacking of anything.
Best lyric part:
I
knew i couldn’t have you but my love for you just kept growing.
3. A Girl Meets Love –
K Will & Tiffany Hwang
This is not a song.
It’s a story about a young girl and a man that love each other, told in a
perfect musical way. Epic. Way too epic. Tiffany and K Will should sing more
often together. Can’t even imagine anyone sings this better than them but i
would give Yuri a shot.
Best lyric part:
I
know I’m bad but I can’t let you go. Let me have your name and the memories of
you.
2. You Wouldn’t
Answer My Calls – 2AM
2AM might not be as
famous as their dongsaengs, 2PM, but
if it comes to quality, you have to agree that they sound better than Taecyeon
and gangs. The only thing that bad of this song is the music video. They should
have made it simpler because the song is already strong on its own. This song
is about regret, regret, and much regret, something that we all can always relate to often.
Best lyric part:
No
matter how I beg for forgiveness, there’s already no use.
1. Tears
Are Falling – Shin Jae
This
is it. Best of the best. This song sums up my and many people’s emotion
perfectly. Do you know that feelings of being happy and sad at the same time? Happy,
because you get the one you love by your side. Sad, because the one that you
love will never be yours. And when you cry, those are the most painful tears
you ever had for someone.. If you read this and imagine of someone.. Yes, the
one that you love.. :’)
Best
lyric part:
Tears are falling again because i want to see you. I choked on my
tears, I swallowed the words that i love you.
