Kiss The Rain.

Yiruma's Kiss The Rain by FT Island's Song Seunghyun



tagged + pkTN + seunghyunified

Many people see me as someone who loves mainly modern music, well, make it pop or ballad.
Not many people actually know, I am a HUGE FAN of piano compositions.
I am not kidding.
I actually have a long playlist of piano compositions, especially from Beethoven, Yiruma, and some classicals from Vivaldi (I am a huge fan of Vivaldi).

Yiruma - well, I liked almost all of his piano compositions and one of my favorite is Kiss The Rain (I personally loved One Day I Will Leave Behind, Tears on Love & Maybe more).
First of all, I loved the title ; it is so catchy yet meaningful.
Secondly, the composition might sound like a repetition but it is amazingly beautiful.
Thirdly, it was the first composition from Yiruma which made me felt in love with piano compositions.
And recently, I had found the forth reason why I must loved Kiss The Rain even more.

For those who didn't know Yiruma's Kiss The Rain (oh, you should just shoot yourself for not knowing Yiruma), here's the original full version of Kiss The Rain.

Song Seunghyun - other than being recognized as the new member (well, not so new now) of FT Island, the second vocalist (in which it seems this position hadn't been proved much lately), the rapper (which he admitted to be the one and only rapper of FT Island), the second guitarist (yes, I'd listened to his guitaring skill and it was great) and the 16-dimension boy with a mind of his own.
If you are a die-hard-Primadonna like me, you'll probbaly know that Jonghoon isn't the only one who knows how to play the piano in FT Island in the new FT Island of course.
Yes, Seunghyun knows how to play the piano too - but only Jonghoon was able to show his skills in FT Island.

The fancam embedded was taken from the establishment party of their fanclub a few months ago, and it was taken during Seunghyun's solo performance.
Being curious at how good he actually is at playing the piano (not that I could play the piano), I was eager to watch the fancam, because previously, I'd only seen short cuts of their solo performances.

OMG ~ I am in heaven.

Always being biased towards Seunghyun, I found another reason why I must continue to be a biased noona fan of him and also another reason why I must loved Kiss The Rain now.

He played the piano beautifully.
I am not just saying this because I am biased - but he looked amazing playing the piano.
Many know this (especially my family) that I have a thing for a boy (well, I prefer an older boy) who played the piano, in which explained why I got into a relationship with one of my previous boyfriends (because he is an excellent pianist too, and we ended up listening to Kiss The Rain whenever we remembered each other).
Seunghyun looked amazing, perfect looks and perfect melody combined together.

Yes, Kiss The Rain sounds most likely like a repetition but it was very lovely.
And yes, Seunghyun did fine playing it - considering he played without looking at music sheets.
He is my prince charming in yellow raincoat (?) and cutest hairstyle.
Of course the original version is WAY better than the one played by Seunghyun, but it didn't make much differences, at least to me who love the composition very much now.

I ripped the video so that I could have his rendition of Kiss The Rain all by myself.
How could this get even better?
He is 180 centimeter (my ideal boyfriend's height), he is handsome, he is funny, he is weird, he is talented, his voice is heavenly, his guitar skill is great, he is practically getting better as being an MC (he is one of MBC 지금은 꽃미남시대 Season 2's MC along Jonghoon) and now, he added even more charms by proving that he could play the piano as good as anyone else could.

Way to go, Seunghyun!
Noona is so proud of you - though I wonder since when did he learn piano and which instrument he mastered first, was it guitar or piano?

Haha ~ the real reason for this post was just to express my bias-ness towards Seunghyun lately.
My mom is slowly falling into his charms too.
And I am practically just bored.

Song Seunghyun, could you play One Day I Will Leave Behind for noona?
Is it too much?

Now that he often plays the piano on solo performance (he played it again once in Japan), shouldn't MBC Music Core let him plays the piano like how they allowed Taemin to play Yiruma's River Flows in You before?
Ha, I already imagine him playing the piano and singing like how Jonghoon did on his own solo performance during FT Island's First Island Concert in 2007.

With his great vocal and his piano skill - OMG, I'll be in heaven.
