penyanyi hadir membawakan lagunya sendiri. Kim Jin Ho menampilkan lagu miliknya
bertajuk “Family Picture”, atau yang dikenal juga dengan judul “Family
Portrait”.
“Family Picture” is a song that tells about your parent. About
your father, how he spend his youth
by working hard to earn money, to
give you good education, good life.
“You lived a busy life when you were
young, and then your child added meaning to your life. Your excited smile in
the family picture back then is still clear, although now it’s slowly fading
away. When I became an adult and faced reality, as an immature child of yours I
kept falling and getting back up again. On one lonely day, I looked at your
picture, and realized that I just look like you now. Only when my youth was
waning, I came to pay attention to your days gone by.” About your mother, how she
spend her youth by working hard to raise you, to give you good food, good
life. “The young lady who was smiling in the picture, her blooming days
were sacrificed to give me a birth. Your days turned into fertilizer to nurture
my days. I will collect all those times again, and make your smile blooms
again.” About your parent, whose blood streams in your whole body, whose tears pour and sweat flows only for
you, their children. Parent, who’s keep giving without any demand, who’s keep protecting without any warrant.
When it comes to parents, people could become sentimental.
Without we could ever realized, as we grow up, parents are growing old. And
before we could ever realized, parents
could be gone so soon. More than we
could ever imagined, they could
passed away too fast. Sometimes, as a child we only look for them when we
were down, when the world feels so
harsh, when the life seems so rough,
when everything is hard to bear. And they are always there. Stand still and give us salvation. Meanwhile sometimes, we often forget about them when we were on
the top and hold the world in our hand. But
even so, they are always there. Stand still and watch over us proudly. Kim Jin Ho said after his performance, “I
hope you will be wise enough to know the importance of making your beloved ones
smile.” Yes, you would never know when God take them away. So, love your parent, and express it, before it’s too late.

Jin Ho menciptakan “Family Picture” untuk mengenang almarhum ayahnya yang
meninggal dunia ketika ia masih kecil. He
wrote this song in five minutes, after
looking at the family picture his mother created, where they took a picture while holding his father’s picture up. Through that picture, he could feel how much his mother misses his
father. Incidentally, that day of the recording was the day of his
parent’s wedding anniversary, so it’s
a meaningful performance for him personally. It’s a serenade for his father in heaven. Versi original “Family
Picture” yang termuat dalam album solo perdananya, “Today”, merupakan lagu
akustik. Album ini dirilis pada tanggal 14 Februari 2013. Sementara dalam
penampilannya untuk “Immortal Songs 2”, lagu ini diaransemen menjadi ballad orchestra yang menyayat hati.
Penampilannya pada “Immortal Songs 2” merupakan pertama kalinya saya mendengar
lagu ini, dan saya berhasil dibuat menangis karenanya. Through Kim Jin Ho’s heart-warming voice and melancholic melody, we could feel his sincerity. You couldn’t help but thinking about your
own parents, and what they’ve been
through to raise you this far. And it
was amazing, how a song could touch
people’s heart like this.
“The young lady who was smiling in the
picture, her blooming days were sacrificed to give me a birth. Your days turned
into fertilizer to nurture my days. I will collect all those times again, and
make your smile blooms again.” –Kim Jin Ho, Family Picture [translated lyrics]

I couldn't agree more. Watching Kim Jin Ho's performance singing this song on immortal song 2 make me realize about how powerful music can be. Dengan melodi yang sederhana, Kim Jin Ho bisa menyampaikan pesannya dengan sangat baik. Liriknya dibuat dengan begitu simpel, tapi terasa dalam dan manis tapi sekaligus ketir. Sebuah lagu yang bahkan bisa membuat kita menangis saat mendengarnya pertama kali.
