Magic Castle
Saturday, July 05, 2014
“Can
you believe that in my dreams, you are a princess that is cast under a magic
spell? Although there are so many hardships that come along your way in every
time, but I always have a strong determination that I will save you once again.
I gathered my hands and prayed for endless courage and wisdom.” –The
Classic, Magic Castle [translated lyrics]
Pada
tahun 1994, grup legendaris asal Korea Selatan yang terdiri dari Kim Kwang Jin
dan Park Yong Jun, The Classic, merilis sebuah lagu bertajuk “Magic Castle”.
Lagu pop ballad yang diciptakan oleh
Kim Kwang Jin ini kemudian menjadi hits
dan banyak dibawakan ulang oleh para penyanyi terkenal. Remake yang paling terkenal bisa jadi adalah versi milik boy group DBSK, atau yang terkenal juga
dengan nama TVXQ. “Magic Castle” versi DBSK termuat dalam Christmas mini album mereka, “The Christmas Gift from Dong Bang
Shin Ki”, yang dirilis pada tanggal 7 Desember 2004.
“Magic Castle” is a
serenade about someone who’s willingly and pledge to protect their beloved one.
Just like in a fairytale, like a Prince who bravely fights for and saves
his Princess, they would be there and
stand by them to face every struggle in life, to give them strength and courage. “Can you believe that in my
dreams, you are a princess that is cast under a magic spell? Although there are
so many hardships that come along your way in every time, but I always have a
strong determination that I will save you once again. I gathered my hands and
prayed for endless courage and wisdom.” Just
like in a fairytale, like the Aladdin
who boldly brings Princess Jasmine into the whole new world she never seen and
been before, they would take away all
their pain and give them all the happiness in the world that they could give.
“Past the magic castle and across the swamp, inside the dark cave, I see you
far away. Now hold my hand, it will feel like our bodies are floating in the
air. Even when we freely fly in the sky, don’t be surprised. The world that is
spread out before us is so precious if we’re together.” Just like in a fairytale, together,
forever, and ever after.
Pada
tahun 2013, “Magic Castle” dibawakan ulang oleh female vocal trio, Melody Day. Trio yang terdiri dari Cha Hee, Ye
In, dan Yeo Eun ini merilis versi remake
untuk mengisi jajaran soundtrack
serial drama “Missing You”, atau yang dikenal juga dengan judul “I Miss You”. Lagu
ini termuat dalam album “Missing You OST” yang dirilis pada tanggal 16 Januari
2013. Tiga versi yang telah saya sebutkan ini, mulai dari versi original milik
The Classic, remake oleh DBSK, hingga
remake oleh Melody Day, adalah versi
yang paling terkenal dari lagu “Magic Castle”. Indeed, this beautiful song
with sweet lyrics and dreamy melody in an everlasting song.
“Past
the magic castle and across the swamp, inside the dark cave, I see you far
away. Now hold my hand, it will feel like our bodies are floating in the air.
Even when we freely fly in the sky, don’t be surprised. The world that is
spread out before us is so precious if we’re together.” –The Classic, Magic Castle [translated lyrics]
