New Music: Yoon Jong Shin (윤종신) - 2011 月刊 尹鍾信 May (digital single)

Yoon Jong Shin released his May monthly digital single on April 29, 2011. The title track, '두 이별 (feat. Lee Jung)) (Two Separations)', is a slow-tempo R&B/ballad with smooth vocals and nice melodies, about a broken heart. Their vocals really complement well with each other and very fitting for R&B/ballad. Jong Shin also released a MV for this song featuring Lee Jung.

The song, 'Two Separations" actually portrays what separation/breakup is like from 2 different perspectives (Yoon Jong Shin and Lee Jung). Verse 1 is Lee Jung's part and it's about reminiscing on the memories of a past love and missing the times together. He sings, "Gone/ I miss you, you are so far away/ your safety I can no longer ensure." Verse 2 is Yoon Jong Shin's part, and it's singing more directly to the lover as he expresses his love and asking her not to leave. He sings, "I love you/ Please say how happy you are with me/Don't say goodbye."

Lyrics: Yoon Jong Shin (윤종신)
Music: Yoon Jong Shin (윤종신), Lee Jung (이정 )
Arranged by: Yoon Jong Shin (윤종신), 조정치, 이근호, 편곡

Ginuwine - 'Paramedic' (2011)

'Paramedic' is a mid-tempo R&B track with smooth vocals and nice original lyrics. It never crossed my mind that so many different health care professionals (paramedic, dermatologist, pharmacist, psychiatrist, physical therapist, cardiologist, etc) can be applied and put into this context. Hahaha! Very interesting, I like it!

New Music: DaeSung - 'Baby Don't Cry' (2011)

DaeSung recently released a solo song, which can be found on Big Bang Vol. 4.5 Special Edition album, released on April 8, 2011. 'Baby Don't Cry' is a slow-tempo R&B track with strong and smooth vocals about standing by a lover's side at all times, so they don't need to cry. Daesung's vocals are distinct, strong and smooth, which are perfect for R&B/Soul genre. This song certainly displays his vocals very well. I hope he'll release a solo album with music like this.

Lyrics:

Korean
지금 네가 울고 있다 해도 달라질 건 없다고
지금 네가 없어 진다 해도 달라질 건 없다고

하지만 넌 왜 울고 있니
마지막처럼 눈을 감고 있니
다 지난 일이 잖아 이제 웃어봐 my baby

수많은 사람들 떠나가도
이 노랜 영원해, 네 곁에 (함께할거야)
그 많던 친구들 다 떠나도
여기 난 네 옆에 계속 서 있을거야

Baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry
언젠가 더 빛날거야 give me your smile
Baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry
한 번만 더 날 위해 just give me your smile

이미 모든 일이 지나간 찰나
그래 그래 어젯밤에
네가 알고있는 너의 좋은 점
넌 그걸 제일 잘 알잖아

하지만 넌 왜 울고 있니
세상이 끝날 것 처럼 눈 감고 있니
다 지난 일이 잖아
이렇게 질 순 없잖아 my lady

수많은 사람들 떠나가도
이 노랜 영원해, 네 곁에 (함께할거야)
그 많던 친구들 다 떠나도
여기 난 네 옆에 계속 서 있을거야

baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry
언젠가 더 빛날거야 give me your smile
baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry
한 번만 더 날 위해 just give me your smile

Just give me your smile 3x

수많은 사람들 떠나가도 (떠나가도)
이 노랜 영원해, 네곁에 (함께할거야)
그 많던 친구들 다 떠나도
여기 난 네옆에 계속 서 있을거야

Baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry
언젠가 더 빛날거야 give me your smile
Baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry
한 번만 더 날 위해 just give me your smile

Just give me your smile Oh
Baby don’t cry baby don’t cry baby don’t cry

English translated

Even if you cry right now, it won’t change anything
Even if you’re gone, it won’t change anything

But why are you crying?
Why are you closing your eyes like it’s the end?
Everything has passed, smile now my baby

Even though many people left you
This song will forever be by your side (We’ll be together)
Even though all your friends left you
I’ll continue to stand here next to you

Baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry
Someday you’ll shine, please give me your smile
Baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry
One more time, for me, just give me your smile

I’ve been through all of there already
Yeah, yeah, last night
I know your good points
You know it better than me

But why are you crying?
Why are you closing your eyes like it’s the end of the world?
Everything has passed, we can’t do anything now my lady

Even though many people left you
This song will forever be by your side (We’ll be together)
Even though all your friends left you
I’ll continue to stand here next to you

Baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry
Someday you’ll shine, please give me your smile
Baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry
One more time, for me, just give me your smile

Just give me your smile 3x

Even though many people left you (left you)
This song will forever be by your side (We’ll be together)
Even though all your friends left you
I’ll continue to stand here next to you

Baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry
Someday you’ll shine, please give me your smile
Baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry
One more time, for me, just give me your smile

Just give me your smile Oh
Baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry, baby don’t cry
