There's just something about David Cook's performance during Mariah Carey week that got me all hot and bothered. Thing is, this song was in tough competition with "Here You Come Again" by Carly Smithson and "It's Al Wrong, But It's Alright" by Michael Johns. But because I loved listening to David live, watching him live and his studio version of this song, this trumps the others.

For my BC 124 class, I had to produce/direct/act in a music video. First off, it was difficult to pick a song that would be believable coming out of my mouth. I wanted to do "Crush" by Mandy Moore but no one would believe that Mandy's voice were coming out of my mouth. So after much playing of Guitar Hero 3, I realized that why not take a stab at this song.

Thanks to dudemangiano and theloocritic for helping me out with the video; celeni for her fabulous shoes and to Nel for her stockings. Inspired by the ever fashionista, Anna and Bad Ass Popular Sandy. This is probably the only time you'll ever see me going crazy, so might as well take it. PS. Don't laugh. ( Fire Away! )

처음엔 알지 못했어 나를 보는 그대의 그눈빛이 왜 그렇게 안타까웠는지 언제나 묻고 싶던 말 아주 조금 내맘 알고 있는지 한번도 얘기한적 없었지만 이젠 아는데 그대도 나처럼 하루하루 헤매였던걸 잠들수 없이 너무 아파 했었다는 걸 손을 잡아요 다시는 그대를 놓치 않을게 사랑해요 내가 숨쉬는 날까지 그대로 멈춰버렸죠 나에겐 늘 모질게만 대하던 그대가 날 보며 웃어주던날 이젠 아는데 그대도 나처럼 하루하루 헤매였던걸 잠들수 없이 너무 아파 했었다는 걸 손을 잡아줘 다시는 나를 놓치 말아요 사랑해요 내가 눈감는 날까지 울지 않아요 이제 그대 내곁에 있으니 고마워요 이렇게 모자란 내게 그대를 선물해줘서

I didn’t know at first why your gaze, looking at me made me feel so flustered I always wanted to ask if you understood just a little of my feelings although I never told you Now I know, how you were as lost and wandering as I was How you hurt so much, it kept you from sleep Hold my hand, I won’t let go of you again I love you, as long as I breathe… Things stood still when you, who’d always treated me coldly, smiled at me that day Now I know, how you were as lost and wandering as I was How you hurt so much, it kept you from sleep Hold my hand, don’t let go of me I love you, till the day I close my eyes in rest I won’t cry Now that you’re by my side Thank you… for giving me the gift of you

Seeing as I'm still hung up on Coffee Prince, it was but eventual that I had a song from the soundtrack as a song for the month. This song just breaks my heart. Every time they play it, my heart melts. Usually played in Han Kyul and Eun Chan's oh so sweet scenes, you can't help but cry. Not an upbeat way to start the year, but definitely a fab song. I still don't understand Korean, so it's always nice to have an English translation.

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

Although I'm probably the last person on earth to watch Enchanted, it doesn't mean I couldn't fall in love with the soundtrack. Hearing this song just made me want to cry/dance to this a la Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams in the movie. So I cheated and watched that one scene. This song breaks my heart and makes me hopeful at the same time. So much love.

You don't have a clue
What it is like to be next to you
I'm here to tell you
That it is good
That it is true

Birds singing a song
Old paint is peeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling

Words can't be that strong
My heart is reeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling

Try
Try to forget what's in the past
Tomorrow is here
Love,
Orange sky above lighting your way
There's nothing to fear

Some people are good
Babe in the 'hood
So pure and so free
I'd make a safe bet
You're gonna get whatever you need

Thanks to Chuck, I can once again "discover" new songs a la The OC (as it has the same producer and music supervisor). But other than my love for the show, this song does sort of emulate my November. It's time to move on, and this song is just about that. I heart ♥ Eels.
