Sorrow of Love
Saturday, August 16, 2014
“As snowflakes
fall down from the sky, people on the street come and go. I don’t know what I was
thinking and why I walked here. Like the snowflakes hitting my window, love was
just an empty dream. Whenever I close my eyes, you come to my mind, leaving my
heart cold all by itself.” –Lee Chi Hyun and the Botnimdeul, Sorrow of Love [translated lyrics]

Salah
satu personel dari boy group Beast
(terkenal juga dengan nama B2ST), Jang Hyunseung, turut berpartisipasi sebagai
penampil dalam program acara musik “Immortal Songs 2: Singing the Legend”
episode 152. Episode yang menampilkan Lee Chi Hyun sebagai legenda ini
mengudara pada tanggal 14 Juni 2014 di stasiun televisi KBS, serta di channel KBS World pada tanggal 5 Juli 2014.
Pada episode tersebut, pasangan duet Hyuna dalam duo Trouble Maker ini membawakan
salah satu lagu hits Lee Chi Hyun
yang dirilisnya bersama band The Botnimdeul bertajuk “Sorrow of Love”. Lagu ini
diciptakan oleh Lee Chi Hyun bersama dengan Ha Ji Yeong.
“Sorrow of Love”,
just like its title, is a song about someone who feels the sorrow
of love caused by a broken heart. This
sorrow of love is depicted by a word; snow.
It’s cold yet pure white. It’s beautiful yet hurt. “As snowflakes
fall down from the sky, people on the street come and go. I don’t know what I was
thinking and why I walked here. Like the snowflakes hitting my window, love was
just an empty dream. Whenever I close my eyes, you come to my mind, leaving my
heart cold all by itself.” As the
coldness of sorrow begins to creep inside their hearts, they wander all alone on the street. As the coldness of sorrow keeps coming deep
into their hearts, they close their
eyes just to realize that love was nothing but just an empty dream. “You
approached me like a soft whisper and said that you love me. When we said our
final goodbye, you told me to forget you. As snowflakes pile up on the street,
the sorrow of love in my heart turns into a snow flower that can’t blossom,
drowning my empty heart. As snowflakes pile up on the street, the sorrow of
love in my heart turns into a flower that has scattered all over in your heart.”
And there they are, being left all alone with the cold broken
heart. As the coldness of sorrow
keeps getting bigger and bigger, they’re
drowning in it, and realizing that
love has scattered even before it can bloom. Love come and go, just like that.

Sebagai
bagian dari album kelima Lee Chi Hyun and the Botnimdeul, “Sorrow of Love”
dirilis pertama kali pada tahun 1986. The
original song is an exemplary pop ballad song with slow rock style. Lee Chi Hyun’s delicate voice made it
popular. Because the lyrics
frequently mention “snow”, Lee was
expecting the single to be released in winter. But the winter of 1986 in South Korea passed without snow because of
unusual weather. And so, the single of this song ended up being released
in the summer of 1987. “Sorrow of
Love” ranked 1st on KBS K-Pop Top 10 for five consecutive weeks in 1987, a very great achievement back then because
it was rare for a hit song to maintain topping the chart for five weeks
respectively. Jang Hyunseung arranged
this song into a pop R n’B, with
stylish choreography and arrangement that marked his musical style.
Aransemen ini menambah keindahan pada melodi dasar lagu “Sorrow of Love” yang
memang sudah enak didengar. Indeed, it stands for its name as an everlasting
song.
