The Rain of Love
Monday, November 24, 2014
“Close
your eyes and listen to the sound of love inside your heart,
resembling your cozy smile is the love rain. Feel the comfort and warm wind
that passes over your shoulders, the soft love that blows softly through my
window.” –Jung Dong Ha, Love Rain
(Allegro) [translated lyrics]
When
I was doing my research of songs about rain –in order to write for this month’s
theme– I found out that one of my favorite Korean singers, Jung Dong Ha, also
has a song about rain. Jung performed a ballad song titled “Love Rain (Allegro)”.
No, it doesn’t have any relation with a Korean drama series titled “Love Rain”.
It turns out that Jung had lent his husky voice for the Melody Project. “Love Rain (Allegro)” was the third part of the
six-parts compilation album project. It was released on December 17th 2012 as a
single titled “Melody Digital Compilation Album: Allegro”.

Rain doesn’t always resemble sadness or loneliness. Sometimes, it
resembles something sincere; like the rain of love, like this “Love Rain
(Allegro)” song. The track showcases lyrical melodies which express emotions
felt when engrossed in the feelings of love. “Close
your eyes and listen to the sound of love inside your heart,
resembling your cozy smile is the love rain. Feel the comfort and warm wind
that passes over your shoulders, the soft love that blows softly through my
window.” It’s not love if it’s not comforting. It’s not love
if it’s not soft and warm. It’s not love if it’s not bringing smiles and
laughs. It’s not love if it’s not being spoken. It’s not love if it can’t make
us feel. “Stay still and look, there’s a
sweet scent that touched my lips, the dazzling love that always makes
us laugh together.”
When
we fall in love, there’s nothing that we need more than being together with the
person we love. When we love someone, there’s nothing that we want more than
expressing our love for that person. “I
want to hold you in my heart, my precious person, I love you
forever. I want to protect you with my heart, you are my one and only love.”
When we fall in love, there’s nothing that could bring a peace more than
looking at the smiling face of that person. When we love someone, there’s
nothing that could bring a warm fuzzy feeling inside more than seeing through
that person’s eyes that they feel the same. When we fall in love, there’s
nothing better than knowing that we have someone whom we can hold the hands, to
get through anything in life, together, as one, as always. “We only look at each other. We smile as we face each other. Tell me you
love me for always. For always, let’s holding hands.”

Unfortunately,
I didn’t get a complete information about the Melody Project, so I can’t provide anything about who was producing
this project and something like that. But I found that this project was divided
into six parts; Meeting (Andante), Tingle (Moderato), Love (Allegro),
Misunderstanding (Vivace), Farewell (Fermata), and Memories (Adagio). Every
song was sung by different singers. Jung Dong Ha’s “Love Rain (Allegro)” features a soft and pleasant piano introduction, that
followed by then-Boohwal’s-vocalist’s warm vocal. It’s a heartwarming track to
be listened to during the rain. Indeed, Jung is never disappointing.
“Stay
still and look, there’s a sweet scent that touched my lips, the dazzling love
that always makes us laugh together.” –Jung Dong Ha, Love Rain (Allegro) [translated lyrics]
