[random] my class' at 5 something this evening..guh!!!
[listening to] mercy by duffy
No,it's not about some particular celebrity.
It's me,actually.In fact,I do have numerous favorite tunes in K-pop.Maybe this is the right time for me to expand my musical taste by other acts from Korea.And I'm trying my hand by doing my resolutions
(read:reducing stress overall) by listening to some easy-listening,happy tunes.Owh no,I'm still loyal to rock music..hell yeah!
I would like you to meet Clazziquai.Also known as Clazziquai Project,consists of DJ Clazzi,Horan and Alex.Occasionally,Alex's sister,Christina will be featured in some songs from their albums.And to those Korean drama fans out there,they sung "She Is",which was one of the soundtracks for "My Lovely Sam Soon"!
I
really love this picture.Why? For three reasons.First,they're so bubbly.Secondly,the cool shirt they're wearing.And thirdly,the pose itself.If I had the chance(given in this world),I would
love to snuggle between:
1) the Schweinski,
2) the Winchester brothers,
3) Stevie G and Xabi Alonso,4) ...err,any idea?
...and yes.In that order.Thank you.
First of all..I'm kinda owed it to my housemate,to be honest.While I was listening to their song,"Romeo n Juliet",I was
amazed.
That's the song you're talking about,Angela?..Well,"Romeo n Juliet",is taken from their album,"Love Child of the Century" is a relaxed,feel-good song.It's like when you're waking up in a calm,soothing spring.We all know Romeo and Juliet themselves were a tragic love story.
Owh okay,what about their music?..Clazziquai's genre is acid jazz.Their songs are mostly jazz integrated with electronica.Never thought that there's a jazz act from Korea,uh? Well,you're not alone.
The lyrics?..It's all full of love.I think "Romeo n Juliet" by Clazziquai is a happy-ending intepretation.And I love the Alex and Horan's voice.They're a perfect combination that makes this song..so cool.And there's a rap part,to me,which makes this song even cooler!
Where's the video?...Uh,as I type this,I did not manage to find any official music video on this song.Mostly,you will find the live performances version on YouTube.
Where to start?..Ah,already interested? Good for you.An
introduction entry by Yukino is a good start as she reviewed on their first album,"Instant Pig" (don't be fooled by the title,guys.) In fact,here are Angela's choices from "Instant Pig":
- You Never Know (4:52)
- After Love (4:15) *This song is about a guy's feeling after he broke up.
Woo-hoo! Quoting one of my favorite lines from that song,
And now I am searching for a living chance/My dried up tears for you and/On days when I long for you/Will I have even my laughter again?/After Love - Tattoo (4:10)
- Nae Gae Ro Wah (4:23)
..and from their 2005's album,"Color Your Soul":
- Choom (Dance) (4:44) *I'm
melted by this song! So lovely this one.Horan's on the lead while it's Alex turn as the backing vocal.This song is like,
dancing with your loved ones on the dance floor thing.
- Color Your Soul (4:51)
- Sunshine (3:54)
- Cry Out Loud (4:20)
- Speechless (3:13)
- Last Tango (3:51)
- Salesman (3:46)
Let sing along to Romeo n Juliet!

The meaning of the feeling
that comes upon me when you're looking at me
And the scent I've left behind
For something else, there's a different feeling
How when you're eyes are still closed but you can still see everything
I wonder if your whole entire day was still beautiful without me

-------------------------------------
What makes me cry,of having to break up with you
Don't speak of such sad things
So that you and me alone
can remain in this beautiful state
In this world
my days and your nights
oversee a similar ending
baby lover, Let's close our eyes together
**give it up give it up
Can you see the light
Give it up give it up
There ain't no one here
Give it up give it up
It's our only way
Can you see the light in me
Give it up give it up
Don't be scared my love
Give it up give it up
There'll be song for you
Give it up give it up
Let the flowers rejoice
Can you see the light in me

Though inside me, my heart
has basically been chaotic this time
I've found my path for the first time
If on another morning we were together again
While clasping the whole world in my arms
I would've given everyone that kind of happiness as a gift

What made me cry, of how I had broken up with you
Don't speak such saddening words
So that you and me alone
can remain in that once beautiful state
In this world
My days, your nights
oversee a similar ending
baby lover, We fall asleep together

Keep holding my hand, holding my hand
We fall into a deep sleep
You just need to let your body loose, let it loose
The heart-breaking love ends now
I want fall asleep while embracing you, oh
I will know
Everything you could ever desire,
I want to them all to you, oh
The reason why this night lingers
is only because we believe in love
The sadness that conceals us each moment
and the deep darkness
You just have to hope, You just have to hope
As long as we do better
As long as I'm the one who's loving you
When the aromatic scent of your respiration
touches me
I held onto your hand discreetly
I want to close my eyes
Feel it, you and I
Now the wind is free to go wherever it pleases
When everything else is turned free
And when it's love
