A Beautiful, Touching Song 2

Hello members.

It is a second post of my 'A Beautiful, Touching Song' series. Last time, I covered Park Hyo Shin's 'Wildflower', I hope you enjoyed it.

This review is about phenomenal English cover of '눈(Eyes), 코(Nose), 입(Lips)" by 타블로(Tablo), which is originally a song by 태양(Taeyang).

The credit for lyrical genius goes to Tablo himself. It is written in relation to the original Korean lyrics, but he enhanced it with his own poetic yet articulate expressions.

Notice that the entire song is sung in English, and the effective use of vocabulary. This is what I would call 'Intelligent Hip Hop'.



*Here is the lyrics of the song

You left me paralyzed

No cure, no rehab for me

Funny that you got the nerve

To keep askin' me how I've been

You're the victor in this pageantry

But the only trophy you deserve...

Catastrophe

I'd rather we be dead to each other

No eulogies said for each other

No rest in peace's

The memory's got my chest in pieces


I'm prayin' that your eyes are the first to go

The way they looked when you smiled

The way they opened and closed

Then your nose

Every single breath against my neck

And then your lips

Every empty promise made and said


Please fade

Fade to black

Please fade

Fade to black

But the nightmares come back


Because your eyes, nose, lips -

Every look and every breath, every kiss -

Still got me dyin'

Still got me cryin'

Because your eyes, nose, lips -

Every look and every breath, every kiss -

Still got me dyin'

Still got me cryin'


Forget a promenade

Let's juggernaut down memory lane

Leave no thought alive

To the slaughterhouse I'm takin' my pain

It's time to sever my brain from my heart and soul

My knees are burnin' hot

But God is cold


I've been told

One day you'll know

Too much of heaven's a sin

After the show, it's only hell that it brings

So take it slow and let time heal everything

They say that time flies

But you keep breakin' its wings


You'll never fade

Fade to black

Please fade

Fade to black

But the nightmares come back


Because your eyes, nose, lips -

Every look and every breath, every kiss -

Still got me dyin'

Still got me cryin'

Because your eyes, nose, lips -

Every look and every breath, every kiss -

Still got me dyin'

Still got me cryin'


You wish me well

You wish me well

I wish you hell


I never wanna look into your eyes again

No, I never wanna hear you breathe again

Let me go

Let me go

Baby, tell me this is the end


Because your eyes, nose, lips -

Every look and every breath, every kiss -

Still got me dyin'

Still got me cryin'

The tears drive me out my mind

Because your eyes, nose, lips -

Every look and every breath, every kiss -

Still got me dyin'

Still got me cryin'


Fade out

Hello OP,
if I may ask, instead of creating another thread each time why don't you carry on existing thread with same topic you created earlier ?

/forum/29-music-movies-a-youtube-etc/253398-a-beautiful-touching-song

I see, well I've actually made a separate post of two of my Korean Drama music review posts that I named 'Retro Korean Music - Korean Drama O.S.Ts - part 1' and same title with the end part 2.

After a few days my post had been combined into one, so I felt that it would automatically combine.
Thanks though, I will try to combine it myself and see what happens, if not, well that's ok.

Regards.
