Program
acara musik “Immortal Songs 2” episode 85 menampilkan edisi spesial almarhum
Kim Jung Ho, penyanyi legendaris Korea Selatan yang meninggal dunia pada usia
34 tahun. Almarhum Kim adalah penyanyi folk
yang berjaya pada tahun 1970-an. Meskipun pergi meninggalkan dunia pada usia
muda, ia mewariskan musik dan lagu-lagu legendaris pada perjalanan sejarah
musik Korea Selatan. Edisi spesial almarhum Kim ini ditayangkan pada tanggal 26
Januari 2013 di stasiun televisi KBS, serta mengudara di channel KBS World pada tanggal 16 Februari 2013. Dalam episode
tersebut, mantan vokalis rock band
Boohwal, Jung Dong Ha, tampil membawakan salah satu lagu hits almarhum Kim yang bertajuk “Longing Heart”.
Poetical lyrics are the
trademark of the late Kim Jung Ho’s songs. “Longing Heart” is the same. This song has short but poetic lyrics tell
about a man who feels a deep longing to the beloved one who has already left;
the person whom he can’t forget. No matter how far he has traveled around,
he would go back to that memorable place
to reminisce; to find the presence of
that person all over again. No matter
how many nights have passed by, he
would sleep with that longing heart; to
meet that person whom he can only see in his dream. “I’m going to go to
that nostalgic place, I have to go, I’m going to find that unforgettable person.
When the longing heart is sleeping gently, my love smiles at me in my dream.” Deep down in his dream, buried deep in his memories, birds are taking him to the end of the sky,
where he can meet that person all over
again. “Migratory birds drive me to the end of the sky, where my love that
has left is welcoming me.” But a dream is
only a dream afterall. And when he
wakes up in the morning, he has to
say farewell to that person and leave the longing heart behind, although he knows that he can never forget.

“Longing
Heart” dirilis pertama kali pada tahun 1974, sebagai bagian dari album debut
almarhum Kim Jung Ho sebagai penyanyi solo. The
lyrical folk singer-songwriter, the
late Kim Jung Ho, wrote many sad
songs including “Longing Heart”. It’s
sad, therefore it’s beautiful.
Jung Dong Ha menggubah aransemen original lagu folk rock ini menjadi rock
ballad, yang sanggup menonjolkan kemampuan vokal Jung sebagai penyanyi rock. Both the late Kim Jung Ho and Jung Dong Ha are amazing singers. As expected, Jung could do justice to “Longing Heart”, even the narration part was done perfectly. This only happens when a great song meets a great singer. And as always, Jung Dong Ha is never disappointing.
“Migratory
birds drive me to the end of the sky, where my love that has left is welcoming
me.” –Kim Jung Ho, Longing Heart
