epilogue



Thursday, October 22, 2009



I have to say,
with all bias whatsoever,
this is one of the best bands ever.
While I admire Epik High,
while I think Radiohead is pretty cool,
while there are various artists everywhere with catchy music,
at the end of the day,
it will always be TVXQ!
My five beloved, talented 'gods' of the East.
While I don't worship them as 'gods',
I really have to thank God for having brought such wonderful people into being,
they must be angels,
because it's unbelievable.

They have gorgeous voices,
their dance skills are pretty damn awesome,
and I truly believe they are good people.
And when I say good people, I meant humans.
I believe they don't go around sabotaging people,
they don't backstab and they don't hurt others on purpose.
They don't have to climb the corporate ladder,
they don't trample on others to get to where they did.
They worked hard and relied on themselves and each other,
they sacrificed to get to where they are today,
and now they're fighting for freedom.
They don't bully their fans,
although many try to mar their image with rumours,
with false accusations and over analysis.

I'm so glad that our boys have been so strong,
I'm so glad that they never gave up once in their training,
they never left their dreams behind,
I want to be as hardworking as them,
I want my passion for writing to be aflame again,
I don't want to leave behind everything.
I don't want it to become a chore.



I had to post this one,
because the lyrics really touched me.
This one seems to be really expertly translated,
instead of loosely and somewhat inaccurately by others.

It's not your fault that those hands are cold,
carrying the scar from your childhood.
Are you afraid to love someone?
Turning your back from the true meaning of the words.
The heart that has been embraced slowly starts to thaw like ice.

In this world anyone shines one's life to be loved by someone,
if it were me,
I would warm your heart again
with the everlasting tenderness.

Even if it is the mischief of fate,
even if it causes you heartache,
Ahead of your tears
A single ray of light will descend into the darkness

We'll realize
The more people suffer,
the more people feel each other's warmth

Anyone carries sadness and loneliness
searching for the place to be healed
So for you that place is right here
Don't be afraid
Don't hesitate anymore
I'll protect you

The more heart-rending (my heart)
The more beautiful love is (Don't be afraid)
The more short lived (let you know my love)
The lovelier this moment is (You know, let you know my love)

In this world anyone shines one's life to be loved by someone,
if it were me,
I would warm your heart again,
with everlasting tenderness

오빠들, 감사합니다
Because, like you promised,
you protected me all this while.

This is probably a blur of emotion.
This is probably incoherent.

They may be some gay boyband to you,
they may be a bunch of guys you think are just... guys,
but to me,
they are the ones who have held onto my hand when no one else would.
They are the angels that God sent me,
to carry me as I am broken and unable to move.
They may not ever know who I am,
but it is enough that they have done so much for me.

동방신기의 오빠들이, 정말고맙슴니다
오빠들이, 사랑해
파이팅!

★,
Julle 줄레
