Tae Yeon - If 만약에
March 21, 2008Okay.
There is just something about this song that has made me put it on repeat ever since I got a hold of it.
So, I’ll just make it clear now. I won’t be making a SNSD category, because I do not have a girl crush on them. But for me to listen to a song non stop for about 4 hrs, it has got to mean it’s a good song right?
Anywayz, I’ve been hearing/reading about this song that Tae Yeon sings for the Kdrama Hong Gil Dong (it’s hit #1 on Korean charts !?) and me being the curious person that I am had to hear the song for myself. I’ll admit the only thing I know about SNSD are their names…I haven’t ever seen a performance of them (and only ever their Kissing You MV for Donghae xD And all the other MVs Yoona has been in xD) so I can’t and won’t judge them for their talent.
But I like this song. I love it.
It’s one of those bittersweet songs where lonely people like myself can relate to even though we have no idea what is being sung about. I’m guessing it’s love related. And if it’s not, shoot me…No don’t do that.
And Tae Yeon can sing. She sounds good here. There are a few high notes which haven’t made me cringe. And her voice sounds relatively smooth and steady. But I haven’t watched any of the live performances because…well my bandwidth usually goes to something more ‘resourceful’ xD
Oh, yay! I have located the lyrics

If i were to go
If i were to get close to you
What would you think?
I don’t have the courage.
If you were to go,
If you were to leave.
I don’t know how to send you away
It keeps hanging on my mind
I know i am a fool and can only watch you from afar
Your heart may look away from me…
And so we could even become strangers
Just like a fool i can’t even say that i love you because …
We’re afraid the wait that comes upon us
After we meet will be painful and sad.
If you were to come
To come near me.
What would i do ?
I really don’t know
Because im like a fool.
Even though i know looking is all i can do
Your heart may look away from me
And so we could even become strangers
Just like a fool i can’t even say that i love you because….
We’re afraid the wait that comes upon us
After we meet will be painful and sad
Because i’m like a fool
Even though i can’t say i love you
We’re afraid the wait that comes upon us
After we meet will be painful and sad.
Sigh.
And yeah. That is all.
