Lonely Night

It’s very very tardy of me to only post “Lonely Night” now after so long… Lonely Night is definitely one of Boohwal best, and a song that they almost never miss performing (at least in the concerts I’ve been to). This song also has a special meaning for Boohwal itself, for it ensured (Boohwal)’s position again in the music industry. After being left by their third vocalist, Kim Tae-Won met Park Wan-Gyu (박완규) and wrote this song matching to his voice tone.

Lonely Night was released in Boohwal’s 5th album, 불의 발견 (The Discovery of Fire), in 1997.

(Written and Composed by Kim Tae Won)

이런 시간엔 더 그리워 홀로 남는 이 순간

떠난 줄 안면서도 자꾸 떠오르는 너 왜 넌 그때 날 떠났을까?

너무 힘이든다던 그게 이유라면 이유일 수 있지만 나는 알 수 없는걸…

.

Lonely Night Lonely Night 떠나던 그 모습이 남았던

Lonely Night so Lonely Night 기억 속에 남은 모습으로

.

이런 시간들이 외로워 모두 떠난 이 밤엔

잊으려고 해봐도 자꾸 떠오르는 너 왜 난 그때 널 보냈을까?

견딜 수도 없을 걸 알며 마음으로 애원했었지만 그저 바라보았어

.

Lonely Night Lonely Night 떠나던 그 모습이 남았던

Lonely Night so Lonely Night 기억 속에 남은 모습으로

.

지금도 그리운걸 외로운 밤 홀로 일 땐 떠나던 뒷모습이 한없이 그리운걸

.

Lonely Night Lonely Night 떠나던 그모습이 남았던

Lonely Night so Lonely Night 기억 속에 남은 모습으로

Lonely Night Lonely Night 떠나던 그 모습이 남았던

Lonely Night so Lonely Night 기억 속에 남은 모습으로

so Lonely Night so Lonely Night Lonely Night

Now, the video below is a more recent version of “Lonely Night” shot in 2006. And, it’s an unplugged version, so you can really feel the difference. Another special point? Except for Kim Tae-Won himself, of course, all of the musicians here were current Boohwal members (different from the original version). Bassist Seo Jae-Hyuck, Drummer Chae Jemin, Vocalist Jeong Dong-Ha.

You can also check out Boohwal’s live performance from1997, where the members (except for Kim Tae-Won, of course) were all different from the current one. Bassist Jeon Joo-Gyo, Drummer Jeong Dong-Cheol, and Vocalist Park Wan-Gyu.
