Friday, 15 February 2013 | 06:29 | 0 comments
I can't help but to love ballad songs - it's one of genre songs that I love. Ballad songs always touch the heart of listeners. There's a simple story in it. Slow beats is one of their character. On rainy days, when it's cold, when you feel lonely - ballad songs are the best accompany.
I couldn't help but to make this as my first official blog post in this personal blog ^^ So check it out : my top ten ballad songs (random)!
Lee Eunmi - I Have a Lover
It's an old ballad song that I love. The lyrics is so touching and Eunmi sang it really well. My heart feels torn apart every time I heard this song. Try to listen to the song without knowing what the lyrics means. I heard Jun.K of 2PM covered this song, I want to listen it somedays :)
"No one can see the man but me
He is only visible to my eyes
I will keep him inside forever
Sometimes tears feeling up my eyes says
You're the one I cherish"
Huh Gak - The Person Who Once I Loved
I basically love all of Huh Gak's songs. His voice is really touching and soothing. He looks so cute too. This MV is part one. The part two is 'It Hurts ' by Huh Gak. The first time I watched all of Huh Gak's MVs, I (really) cried - even I can't believe myself. Perfect short movies - perfect feeling - perfect songs.

"I regret thousands of times a day
I live every day as I realize that you're not here
It's right for me to leave for you but
I guess I can't live as I forget you"
Brown Eyed Girls - Cleansing Cream
Tragic? Yes. I found the younger girl was really pathetic - blind, trying to find her love (when her love was actually her older sister's husband). But well, the older sister was so evil too. I found the MV was really scary and I wasn't going to watch it again until I made this post. I must admit - Brown Eyed Girls make a fresh image with this song. I adore their great vocals.
"Today, there was a really great guy who asked me out
But I kept seeing him
I stupidly ran out from that place,
I stupidly couldn't do anything
What's the use of pretty makeup?"
K.Will - Please Don't...
Honestly, I checked the video out because there's Seo Ingook (you know, 'Reply 1997' is very amazing!). The plot twist is amazing - I never thought that Ingook actually fell in love with his own friend, not his girlfriend. By the way, K.Will is known as a singer who never stars on his own MV - but he showed us how great he is as one of ballad singers in South Korea. I love his other song called 'I Need You' and 'Even If I Play' featuring Chakun of Electroboyz.
"After going around and round
I arrive at your house that's so familiar and tears fall
After spending a long day finding this place
I feel like I am lost"
Seo Ingook - Broken
Seo Ingook isn't doing very great as a singer. He's quite unknown before 'Reply 1997'. But well, I knew him from a game in my place. It has Ingook's song called 'Broken' and 'Shake it Up '. I couldn't help but to fall in love with his voice. I especially love 'Broken' - I always love sad songs, that's why I love ballad songs too.
"Even when I sing your favorite song
Even if I dance in the bright light of the fire
I can only fill my broken heart with you"
10cm - Fine, Thank You, and You?
No comment. I just knew this song when it's on Music Bank's chart. When I heard some of the song, I immediately fell in love. Before, I already knew that 10cm is existed - I like 'Americano '. By the way, this song tells us about someone who tried to hide their sadness (as they live without their ex) when they saw their ex is happy.
"I'm really doing fine, I'm happy
Don't worry about me and have a good life"
Super Junior K.R.Y ft. Eunhyuk - One Love
I'm not that interested in Super Junior K.R.Y actually. I'm not that interested in boy band/girl band who tried ballad songs actually (eventually in a smaller group - however I still like Super Junior). So, I only know this song from Super Junior K.R.Y. It's a ballad with faster beat - still like it though.
"Oh, it's still clear in my mind
On your birthday I was only able to give you a small gift,
I hated myself, that I was like that"
Kim Jongkook - Men are All Like That
I can't like that 'Running Man' brought me here. Besides, I like his song called 'Loveable'. This song is a story about males who is easily bored with something - especially their girlfriends. I admit, this song is 100% true (for teenagers only, of course). In the end, females are always the same too.
"Men are all like that, I wouldn't be any different
I valued you at first but then I flew away
Men are all like that, I wouldn't be any special
I had all of your heart but then I flew away
Men are all like that"
B2ST - On Rainy Days
Live isn't fair at all. This ballad song is really great, came from a South Korea's boy band - B2ST. Yet, (I heard) the song was banned because it mentioned 'drunk'. Beside of this song as B2ST's ballad song, you must check 'I Knew It' too.
"What can I do about something that already ended?
I'm just regretting after like the stupid fool I am
Rain always falls so it will repeat again
When it stops, that's when I will stop as well"
2NE1 - It Hurts
As expected, 2NE1 never disappoints us with their songs. 'It Hurts' is one of my favorite songs of 2NE1. I can't say anything about this song. The MV is simple. Dark color as the main color is a great choice - showing how sad the song is.
"It seems that we're already too late
Has our love already ended?
Please at least say anything to me
We truly loved each other, can't we turn back?"
There are many other ballad songs that I know, but these are my top ten. How about yours? You can comment yours and I'll check them out (might as well make a corner too ^^)
