“Although now I live the daily
life that I always dreamed of, indescribable pain spreads throughout my whole
body. I want to be alone on my own sometimes, and so many attentions make it
hard to do. When I want to take my breath, I swamp in an ordinary life.”
–Girls’ Generation, Promise [translated
lyrics]
The girls are back! As the
front-liner of Kpop’s girl group, Girls’
Generation’s comeback after 14 months of hiatus is the most anticipated
comeback ever. So here they are with
their brand new album, “I Got A Boy”,
which was released on January 1st
2013. Dalam studio album keempat
mereka ini terdapat sebuah lagu manis berjudul “Promise”. Lagu ini ditulis
lirinya oleh Mo-ul, dengan aransemen musik oleh komposer Joseph Belmaati.
“Promise” portraits the feeling of having a missing thing in this life,
but fortunately having something to keep
the strength at the same time. Though
her life seems so perfect, though she
obtains her dreams, though she has
everything, somehow she still feels
that there’s something missing. When
the night comes, somehow she feels
lonely, somehow she feels exhausted.
Even when she wants her own time on her
own, she can’t have it because of her
daily routines. The routines that
make her feel so tired. But then,
something comes up in her mind, that she has loves around her. Somehow it brings back her strength, so that she can hold on. As long as she has those loves, as long as they keep their promise to stay
together, everything will be okay for
her.
Segera setelah perilisannya, album “I Got A Boy” merajai tangga lagu tidak hanya di Korea Selatan saja, melainkan juga Jepang, Cina, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapura, bahkan Amerika Serikat. Dengan ini sekali lagi mereka mengukuhkan posisi sebagai the leading South Korean girl group. “Promise” is a catchy ballad with a nice 90’s R n’ B grooves. The girls sound great on the chorus together, which makes this beautiful song alive and soulful.
“When glaring lights are turned
off and a day goes by, I can’t control my sloping shoulders and empty mind. You
suddenly come knocking my mind when I was hiding, just like a miracle in dark
hours. You light me up with your bright once again.” –Girls’
Generation, Promise [translated lyrics]
