Thanks for watching. After almost 2 years of no music recording, I've decided to get back on track.
I've never worked so hard, wrote so many different versions for only 1 song. This is I think the 8th and final version. The idea started about 3 months ago.
Inspiration - Although the title and structure comes from Big Bang's Love Song, there's hardly any resemblance left from the original. The song is more of a mix of 2NE1's Lonely and Ugly.
Lyrics - I didn't want to sing in Korean. It sounds awful coming out of my mouth. I also didn't want to just translate the song. So I studied the original hangul lyrics and romanization to make sure my words would fit, but also would make sense. Of course some personal stuff was used here and there. But guys, remember this is not a translation, but an interpretation.
Recording - 16 takes it took me to record... I was so sore at the end. It was because of many technical difficulties and also.. invading roommates. I set up the lighting myself and also the 3 camera's. I used a letus35 for one camera (old school). Although it looks like I had a cameraman, I didn't. It was a solo project from the start to finish.
Postproduction - I've created a total of 8 different versions in Logic Pro from the basic track I recorded. One had a violin, one had drums and there's also a version with only piano. Wasn't too happy with them, they were just too much. I figured I should stick to the basics and go minimal instruments. But harmonizing was very difficult too. After many many experiments, I deleted all the instruments and version 8 this version was born. Video editing was done in Final Cut Pro and Adobe After Effects
Chords - Capo 1, G, Em7, C, D, Repeat

Lyrics -
Where did you go, where did you go?
Even though I'm singing this song,
looking back would be wrong.
Would be so wrong.
The smile i'll never see again, I know yeah.
I'm falling, I don't understand, hello.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I'm hating this love song, cuz it doesn't know how I feel,
doesn't know what is real. It's just words that I'm hearing.
... this love song, cuz it doesn't know what is right.
I won't start, I won't cry. I'm so lonely, don't leave me now.
oh oh oh oh. now. oh oh oh oh.
Why close my eyes to hear you breathe, to kiss your lips.
It's not that you are there. Nothing's there to touch with fingertips.
You were so beautiful to me, you know.
I'll say: you are my everything. Please stay, hello.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I hate this love song.
I'm hating this love song, cuz it doesn't know how I feel,
doesn't know what is real. It's just words that I'm hearing.
This love song doesn't know a thing. It's not right.
I won't start, I won't cry. I'm so lonely, don't leave me now.
oh oh oh oh. now. oh oh oh oh.
your voice helps me fall asleep peacefully :)

I wonder if he can make the opposite to this, instead of hating it..maybe he can love it?
