Today I wanna recommend a song by Epik High(에픽 하이) called "FAN"(short form for FANATIC) from their 4th album - Remapping the Human Soul.
It's how love can make us feel uncontrollably lonely & painful when demostrated in their most exaggerated, dramatic form. In a way, we can link it to fans' obssession with artistes. In the MV, a girl kidnaps a guy that she is obsessed with. She locks him up in a room, chained by his feet & watches him thru a camera. She sends him meal, but he doesn't eat. After some time, she smells the guy & find him to have odour, so she decides to give him a wash in the washing machine. When the guy even rather choose to commit suicide than to be with her, she decides to set him free by firing him off with a rocket. But she eventually kills him when the rocket fails to launch...
Epik High is a 3 members group consisting of 2 master of ceremonies (MCs) & 1 disc jockey (DJ) - Tablo, Mithra Jin & DJ Tukutz. For anyone who listens to Korean music or is actively interested in Korean entertainment industry or if you listened to Rain's latest song "I'M COMING", then I dunn think "Tablo" this name will sound unfamiliar to you. Tablo is highly active in Korean scene ranging from short dramadey to doing variety shows to being MC for other singers.
Oh! (가질수가 없어도) 내 머릿속에 서라도 (만질수가 없어도) 그저 헛된 꿈이라도 (말할수가 없어도) 멀리서 숨어서라도 (You know I do) 널 사랑한다고 (내가 누군지는 몰라도)
Oh baby don't you know 내 이름도 모르죠 오늘도 밤새도록 맘 졸이고 그대 바라보고 있죠 Oh so beautiful 손에 쥔 당신의 독사진 세상의 환호성에 파묻힌 내 미친 사랑의 속삭임
듣고 있지도 않겠죠 난 죽어도 안되겠죠 그러겠죠 다음 세상에도 내가 누군지도 모르고 살겠죠 너무나도 그댈 가지고 싶어 난 돌이킬 수가 없죠 오늘밤도 입을 맞추고 싶어 베개를 꽉 붙잡겠죠
오늘이 우리의 첫 만남이 맞는거겠죠 그런 문답은 언제나 당신만 하는 거겠죠 나는 그대 뒷 모습에 오늘도 말을 걸겠죠 항상 같은건데도 떨림에 인사를 건네죠
이 세상이 모두 귀를 막아도 그대만은 내 말을 들어줘 멀어지는 그대 뒷 모습에 굳어가는 나를 들어줘 멀리서 저 멀리서 점이 되어가 어디에서 그댈 볼 수 있을까 (말해줘)
(Chorus) 내 머릿속에 서라도 (만질수가 없어도) 그저 헛된 꿈이라도 (말할수가 없어도) 멀리서 숨어서라도 (You know I do) 널 사랑한다고 (내가 누군지는 몰라도)
오늘은 왜 웃지 않고 있을까 그대 무슨 일인지 별일 아니었음 좋겠는데 시름이 가득한 그대 얼굴 난 볼 수가 없는데 차라리 내가 아픈게 낫겠어 그럴 수가 없는게
너무나도 안타까워 오늘 하루만은 날 반가워 잘있었죠 물어본다면 대답 할 수 있는 날 안아줘 닿지도 만질수도 안을수도 없는 그대여 오늘밤도 난 그댈 만나러 가요 내 꿈속에서
꿈속에서라도 모두가 말리고 내 사랑 비웃더라도 미쳤다고 모두가 말하고 온 세상 지우더라도 당신은 내껀데 보잘것 없는 시선들에게 뺏겨 왜 No, 난 절대 못해 나만 바라보게 해줄게
모든걸 다 줄게 입맞출 때 세상을 다 가져다 줄게 절대 날 떠나가지못하게 불이 꺼져버린 가슴에 가둘게 You are My star, I'm your no.1 fan Baby please take my hand
(Chorus) x 5
미친 사랑에 빠진 Boys say girls say oh! oh! oh! 바보같은 사랑에 빠진 Boys say girls say oh!oh!oh! 헛된 사랑에 빠진 Boys say girls say oh! oh! oh! 나같은 사랑에 빠진 Boys say girls say oh! oh! oh!
내가 누군지는 몰라도!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Oh! I know I can't have you But you're always in my head Even though I can't touch you It's just wishful thinking I can't say it Watching from far away You know I do I love you Even though you don't know who I am
Oh baby don't you know You don't know my name I couldn't sleep because I was thinking of you
Oh so beautiful grasping the photo I took of you in my hand My love for you is buried under the world's love for you You're not listening I will never be allowed to In the next life we would live separate lives I want you so much I can't go back Thoughts of kissing you tonight, I hold my pillow tighter
Today would be the first time we met You say that to everybody you meet I always talk to you with your back facing me Even the familiar 'Hi' seems so awkward today If we blocked everybody's ears I'm hoping you would listen to only what I had to say Seeing you walk away makes me go into a trance state Shake me from it From far away you become a dot Where can I see you (tell me)
Oh! I know I can't have you But you're in my head If I can't touch you It's just wishful thinking I can't say it Watching from far away You know I do I love you
You don't know who I am But you're in my head If I can't touch you Even it's just wishful thinking If I can't tell you Watching from far away You know I do I love you
Even though you don't know who I am Why aren't you smiling today I hope nothing's wrong I can't face to look at your worried face I wish I could take your pain away But I can't and that saddens me Just today - if I ask you how you are doing Would you answer me - hug me I can't reach you, touch you, hold you I'm going to meet you in my dreams again tonight
Even in my dreams people disapprove They say I'm crazy - if I erase the world That makes you mine Why would I lose you to anybody else No, I can never understand that I'll make it so that you'll only look at me I'll give you everything when we kiss I'll give you everything so that you can never leave me I'll keep you in my cold heart
You are My star, I'm your no.1 fan Baby please take my hand
Oh! I know I can't have you But you're always in my head If I can't touch you Even if it's helpless wishing If I can't say it Watching from far away You know I do I love you You don't know who I am
You're in my head If I can't touch you It's just wishful thinking I can't say it Watching from far away You know I do I love you Even if you don't know who I am
Oh! I know I can't have you You're in my head If I can't touch you It's just wishful thinking If I can't say it Watching from far away You know I do I love you
Even though you don't know who I am You're in my head If I can't touch you It's just wishful thinking If I can't say it Watching from far away You know I do I love you
Boys and girls who have fallen In psychotic love say oh, oh oh! Boys and girls who have fallen In idiotic love say oh, oh, oh! Boys and girls who have fallen In hopeless love say oh, oh , oh! Boys and girls who have fallen In love like mine say oh, oh, oh!
In a lot of ways, this is a nice song. ^^ But I dunno, I didn't like Tablo's answer when he was interviewed about the song. He was talking about obssessed fans and how their love is a waste. =X In a sense, it hit too close to home T_T;
Hyesung was shooting his new MV in London a few days ago. Hehe. XD
Actually I kindda agree w/Tablo's words... coz I really saw the craziness in some fans in reality... you know my work~ you know what I face in my life sometimes.
Sometimes the fans are really kindda way too extreme... show you a good example that happened recently is currently the talk of the town. Andy Lau's fans Yang Li Juan, you can see from the search of her case .
I really dunno what emoticon best suit this new. . . This news left me speechless & I think Andy's reputation is somehow or rather been shaken by this...
