2AM - Can't Let You Go, Even If I Die

Though I am primarily a Big Bang fan, I still can appreciate songs from other singers. I've been watching 'We Got Married' Season 2, this Korean reality series where celebrities are paired up as a married couple and they have to carry out missions, stay together, and act like a real couple. In Season 1, my favourite couple was the Joongbo (Hwang Bo and Kim Hyun Joong of SS501) couple. Because of this show, Kim Hyun Joong was cast as Ji Hoo sunbae in the hit Korean drama 'Boys Over Flowers' last year. This season, my fave couple is the Petite/Tidy couple (Ga-In of Brown Eyed Girls and Jo Kwon from 2AM). Their personalities seem rather like the Joongbo couple but with some differences of course. Similarities is that the male of the couple is rather unique in how he does or says things and they seriously nag but they still seem kinda sweet. The girls of both couples are the shyer ones and afraid to initiate things, I think because their partner is from a male idol group and there could be serious backlash from their fanatic fan girls. Difference would be that Jo Kwon can be rather annoying with his constant repetition and feminism, while Hyun Joong was more blur, aloof and a little..weird? Ga-In isn't as domestic as Hwang Bo but she tries, and she's not as independent as Hwang Bo. Makes for good entertainment anyway.

Okay, besides all that, 2AM is the ballad equivalent of 2PM and they were both created by JYP, a very famous producer. He made Rain and Wonder Girls famous...surely this would strike a bell? This is 2AM's new single, and though the MV is well..typical boy band stuff, the lyrics and melody are rather haunting and meaningful I think. Check it out:

Even though I'm young, the pain is the same

Just because I don't know the world very well

Doesn't mean that I don't know pain

Why do you lie, saying it'll be okay?

How will my heart that hurts this much

Be healed so easily?

How will I live without you?

That's why I

CHORUS

Can't let you go, even if I die

How am I suppose to let you go?

Whether you go or leave, fix my heart

If you can't fix it so that I won't be in pain

So that I can at least live

I wouldn't be able to live anyway

I can't let you go, even if I die

No matter how much you push me away

I'll hold onto you until the end

So that you won't be able to go anywhere

If you're really going to leave, then lie

That we should meet again tomorrow

That we should meet as we smile

If breaking up wasn't a joke, then I

CHORUS

We went through so much time together

How are you telling me to live by myself now?

I can't do that, I can't

I can't let you go, even if I die

I really can't let you go

How am I suppose to let you go?

I can't let you go

Whether you go or leave, fix my heart

If you can't fix it so that I won't be in pain

So that I can at least live

I wouldn't be able to live anyway

I can't let you go, even if I die
