Infinite 인피니트 :: Paradise 파라다이스
You all had to expect this one coming, right? The most recent song of my favorite group... I absolutely love the song itself, even though the lyrics have a creepy meaning like quite a few of Infinite's title songs do. I've seen most people think that the meaning of the song (along with the music video) is that a guy has died but can't move on because he still loves this girl. The girl is trapped in "Paradise" because she can't get over him or his death as well.
I love the music video too, despite it not having dance scenes despite dance being what Infinite is well known for. Some people think the dance is a bit awkward, but I like it. Dance can be seen in the live performance here... I was there for that day! My favorite part of the dance isn't shown in most of their live performances, but when Sunggyu (who is my favorite) is down on his knees the other members are sort of popping their chests/moving in time with the beats and it looks really cool.

Because of my broken heart
I can't just let you go like this. What are you telling me to do?
I can't just let you go like this. What are you telling me to do?
Even if it's shaky and looks dangerous
All I can do is hold onto you. So what are you telling me to do?
I love you. (You'll love me, too.)
I don't. (You won't.)
I do. I only look at you.
I don't. (You won't.)
I do. I only look at you.
(1)
Stay here longer, longer.
I'll just ask this of you more, more.
I'll just ask this of you more, more.
I'll do better, better...
Because I can't let go of you yet.
(2)
I, I have to keep on living.
I, I have to endure it. I, I...
Because someday all I have will come to an end.
**
Only if you're here is this a Paradise.
A Paradise I keep you in against your will.
A Paradise you can't break out of.
A Paradise we can stay in together forever.
I can only stifle my breath and watch over you.
I can only do that because you seem like you might break.
You look at me. (You will look at me.)
You don't. (You won't.)
You do. It hurts...
( repeat 1, 2, ** )
I filled you up every night,
And now it's time to fill your body that had gotten used to that with tears.
My arms wind around you on a breathless night.
It's the best Paradise. Without you it's a hopeless world.
Just a bit more, more I'll hold onto you.
I'll watch you a bit longer, longer.
A bit more, more...
Until my heart grows cold.
I, I have to keep living.
I, I have to even without you...
I, I... I need you now.
( repeat ** )
Kim Wansun ft. Yong Junhyung 김완선 ft. 용준형 :: Be Quiet
The first time I heard this song at a music show it wasn't even live. I was in the live performance and they played Kim Wansun's prerecording that was getting broadcasted at that point on the screen behind the stage. I knew right from the start that I loved the song, and it got even better when I realized my favorite member of BEAST, Yong Junhyung, was the rapper for the song. He also helped produce it as a whole.
Now how old do you think Kim Wansun looks? I have to say, the music video makes her look older than she looks in person, but would you believe that she's fourty-two years old? I didn't, either. At most she looks twenty-five. But she was born in 1969 and has been in the Korean pop music industry since the 80s. She's considered the Madonna of Korea and is pretty famous, though most k-pop fans (who tend to be young) don't know who she is.
I love the dance to this song, even though it's mostly pretty simple. And it's a really fun performance to watch! The lyrics are a bit too difficult for me to translate as of right now, even though I get the general idea of most of the song... So here is a subbed version!

MyName 마이네임 :: Message 메시지
Okay now, I really love this song and dance. But the song (both sound wise and the meaning itself) don't really go with the cool and sort of dark feeling of the music video. Oh well, music video director fail... This is a new group, and for their debut song it's extremely good. Though there's no real deep meaning to it... The dance for this song was supposedly choreographed by one of the members instead of the company hiring a choreographer like they usually do.
I've had the pleasure of meeting this group in person several times in just the two weeks or so since their debut, and they're pretty awesome. I won't be going to support them at music shows for various reasons that I'll probably explain in my next 'general happenings' post, but I will definitely still support them.

You got a message. (MyName)
You got a message.
**
A message to you. I'll completely fill it with my heated feelings and send it to you now.
A message to you. From morning to night, and from one to ten I'll put everything in it and send it to you.
Hey, hey, hey. Tell me if you get it. Even if you hate it don't tell me no.
Baby, baby, baby, if you understand give me an answer. Be nice so my heart can stop hesitating.
What should I do? Hours have passed without a word.
Should I stop? Should I give up?
I was hesitating when...
~~
You got a message.
I'll right down my feelings.
A message.
I'll be up all night again tonight.
Don't ignore my text. I'll be waiting for your reply.
Oh oh oh... A message I send earnestly.
Oh oh oh... I'll wait for your reply.
**
Couldn't you accept this message with my feelings?
Just ri gi ding ri gi ding ri gi dong dong...
You've got a complete hold on my heart.
Go to the top, we ain't no stop.
Tie a rope around my heart,
just ri gi ding ri gi ding ri gi dong dong...
Ho, ho! Because these are my true feelings.
(( repeat everything between the **s ))
I want you every day...
So much like this.
(( repeat everything from the ~~ to the second ** ))
Tablo ft. Jinsil :: Bad 나쁘다
A really, really amazing song that many people have been waiting for for a long time... Tablo is a member of the group Epik High which is one of the first sort of rap-based groups to become rather popular in Korea. They brought a whole new style of music to Korea's mainstream. Tablo himself went to Stanford in the US, and he had left the music scene for a while because people were going as far as giving him death threats not believing his academic background no matter what evidence was given.
The song itself is amazing. The meaning is amazing. And seeing this performed live was really, truly something I won't forget. Tablo is on a whole different level than other people in the Korean music scene. Though there are some parts of this that are a bit difficult I'll do my best to translate.
Translation
They say something's different. They all say that I've changed.
They say that I used to be compassionate but have turned cold.
They say something's different. They all say that I've changed.
They say that I used to be compassionate but have turned cold.
They say they don't get it.
They say I always used to smile.
They say my eyes, expressions and words have all turned dark and scary.
Maybe it's because of the memories I want to kill...
As I erase myself from my heart,
because and idle, kind heart is a shortcoming in this world,
I think I might want to become more bad.
Like how people say you start to resemble the person you love,
I might just want to be more like you.
Bad... Love is so bad.
You, who had become my reason to breath, are now suffocating me.
**
Love is so bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
It seems as if that the more you know about love the worse you become.
Love is so bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
When you understand love your heart begins to hurt.
You become worse the more you know.
Saying I get mad when I usually wouldn't, saying I'm not like myself...
But I ask myself what is 'like me' when I already know so well.
I can't see myself. Even wrapped in darkness,
Even with my eyes closed, I can't sleep and let my heart rest.
I wander as I stay up all night, and while I couldn't drink,
Couldn't even take a sip of it before I now crave alcohol.
Drunk on anxiety in the streets soaked with the early morning rain,
As I stumble and think of what's right or wrong
My lips that used to only whisper good things release swears each time I breathe.
I can't pass by before the embers become a fire.
Lies come out like it's a habit,
and I torment love by simply calling it such.
Bad... Love is so bad.
You, who had become the reason I opened my eyes, are now covering my eyes up.
Love is so bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
(( repeat ** ))
The thing that's even worse than how bad you are,
is how I can't forget you.
Me, who's becoming worse as I fall apart.
Me, who's becoming worse to other people.
The thing that's even worse than how bad you are,
is how I can't forget you.
Me, who's becoming worse as I fall apart.
Me, who's bad to other people.
Bad, it's so bad.
It hurts, it hurts so much.
What we call love...
Love is a sickness, can I get a witness.
Love is a sickness, can I get a witness.
