Favorites of the week (September 14, 2015)

It’s been a while, and I wanted to take this opportunity to ask for your patience as my time has not been as lenient as before. Therefore, each week I will try to do a recap of everything that has been part of my week, starting with this week’s songs I’ve been interested in.

[Kpop Live] 4MEN’s 윤민수(Yoon MinSoo) & 신용재(Shin YongJae) _ 인연(Fate)

[불후의 명곡 2 (Immortal Songs 2)] 윤민수 (Yoon MinSoo) & 신용재 (Shin YongJae) of 4MEN _ 인연 (Fate)

I was not able to attach the original live performance due to technical difficulties so above is the official audio of the live performance. However, you may click here to watch the original live performance.

There are many reasons why I like this remake of 이선희 (Lee SunHee)’s ‘인연 (Fate)’. The biggest being that 윤민수 (Yoon MinSoo) & 신용재 (Shin YongJae) of 4MEN were able to beautifully create a song of deep emotions and power. ‘인연 (Fate)’ was a song 이선희 (Lee SunHee) penned in honor of her late husband, which explains the longing and grief portrayed in this particular song. Therefore, although it is not their original song, 윤민수 (Yoon MinSoo) & 신용재 (Shin YongJae) were still able to convey the right emotions, as if they were telling their own story.  Not to mention that 윤민수 (Yoon MinSoo) & 신용재 (Shin YongJae)’s are very skilled vocalists. I was so immersed that I did not even realize a full seven minutes passed by. It is definitely one live remake that I fully enjoyed and loved.

Rumble Fish (럼블피쉬) _ 으라차차  (Smile Again) OFFICIAL AUDIO

Honestly, this song is a bit ambiguous to be called an indie song, but it fits the overall definition, so I decided to give it a mention.

Rumble Fish (럼블피쉬) was a Korean rock/indie band that first entered the music scene in 2004. They originally debuted with four Continue reading [K Indie] Rumble Fish (럼블피쉬) _ 으라차차 (2005) →

[Classic Kpop] G.O.D _ 니가 있어야 할 곳 (The Place Where You Need to Be)

G.O.D _ 니가 있어야 할 곳 (The Place Where You Need to Be) OFFICIAL AUDIO 

‘니가 있어야 할 곳 (The Place Where You Need to Be)’ is the fifth track from G.O.D’s fourth album “Chapter 4”. Although it was not an official title track, it still was one of the promotional tracks that received many love from fans and listeners.

My first G.O.D song I encountered was ‘어머님께 (To Mother)’. However, the song that got me into G.O.D was ‘니가 있어야 할 곳 (The Place Where You Need to Be)’. The song was a nice break from the continuous ballads they are known for (but of course they have their own fill of faster tracks as well).  Joon’s “Like this y’all to the break of dawn can you feel me everybody come on!” got me jamming whenever along with the funky beat and vocals. ‘니가 있어야 할 곳 (The Place Where You Need to Be)’ is one of my favorites from G.O.D and always will be.
