My Love

“When the rain falls out the window, the hidden memories drench my heart. The person I thought I forgot clearly floats up in my head instead.” –Lee Jong Hyun, My Love (OST. A Gentleman’s Dignity) [translated lyrics]

Gitaris sekaligus second lead vocalist dari grup band CN Blue, Lee Jong Hyun, merilis sebuah single solo untuk soundtrack serial drama “A Gentleman’s Dignity”. Rupanya selain turut berperan dalam serial drama ini sebagai putra dari aktor kawakan Jang Dong Gun, Jong Hyun juga berpartisipasi dalam mengisi jajaran soundtrack-nya. Ia membawakan sebuah lagu manis yang berjudul “My Love”. Lagu ini dirilis pada tanggal 8 Juli 2012 sebagai single “A Gentleman’s Dignity OST Part 5”.

“My Love” expresses the feeling of someone who’s longing for their love. Memories flow into their mind as the rain falls down outside the window. Memories come into their mind as the day turns into the darkness night. Those happy and sad moments, though they’ve let it go, those memories remain forever in their heart. The love that they always longing for, always missing, always calling out for, even though it never could be heard, even though it brought so much pain. The love that they always grateful for, always cherish as the precious one, always lingering on their mind until their last breath, even though they had erased them all.

Lagu pop semi-acoustic mid-tempo ini ditulis liriknya oleh Han Seung Ho, dengan aransemen musik dari komposer Kim Jae Yang. “My Love” kemudian dirilis sebagai bagian dari album “A Gentleman’s Dignity: Original Soundtrack Album Part 2” pada tanggal 27 Juli 2012. Seiring dengan popularitas serial dramanya, lagu ini turut merajai berbagai tangga lagu real-time. “My Love” bahkan menyabet penghargaan sebagai Best Original Soundtrack dalam ajang bergengsi 22^nd Seoul Music Awards.
