Like Crazy

“My heart is still hurt. And I still can’t hold on my tears. Even though my lips say that I’ve forgot. Even if I try to lie and fool myself. The reason I endure it all is because I couldn’t forget you.” –2AM, Like Crazy [translated lyrics]

One of South Korea’s best vocal groups, 2AM, merilis studio album pertama mereka pada tanggal 26 Oktober 2010. Album yang bertajuk “Saint O’Clock” ini memasang sebuah lagu berjudul “Like Crazy” sebagai second promotional single. Sebuah music video (MV) dari lagu ini dirilis pada tanggal yang sama dengan perilisan album mereka. Lagu ini dipertunjukkan oleh 2AM dalam comeback stage mereka pada berbagai program acara musik di televisi Korea Selatan.

This song tells about someone who still lingering on their past. Somehow, the fact that their relationship has ended keeps hanging on their mind and makes them shedding tears all over again. No matter how hard they try to live well, no matter how hard they try to forget, no matter how hard they try to move on, in the end they have to face a reality that they just lie to themselves. They can’t forget, they’re in pain, still. In the end, it’s only that person for them, still. The worst of all, they still don’t understand the reason why they got separated. This curiosity makes them furious at themselves, for not getting what they did wrong. Tears are keep falling like crazy, and it’s only that person who could stop them from falling.

Lagu ballad ini, seperti seluruh lagu 2AM lainnya, menonjolkan kemampuan vokal Changmin, Jo Kwon, Seulong, dan Jinwoon yang luar biasa dan berpadu dengan apik dalam balutan melodi yang menyayat hati. Vokal mereka yang penuh penghayatan sanggup menyampaikan emosi dari “Like Crazy” dengan sempurna. Indeed, 2AM adalah raja dari lagu-lagu sendu, and they’ll always be.

“Because you’re always right and I’m always wrong. So please just come back and stop these tears from falling.” –2AM, Like Crazy [translated lyrics]
