'Strangeland' by Keane

Oh my god, who are they? They're Keane! They mentioned that they had gone through a difficult time in composing music and recording than before. When I see this album trailer, I almost cry at the moment. I confess that the most valuable time in my college life exactly lies on the craziness and fanatic obsession of Keane. That is exactly the real life that I can hardly tell anyone unless they truly understand what I feel. Keane changes me a lot as I've mentioned thousands of times, and their effort and hard-working attitude will never wither, just as their music, which displays in uniqueness and detachment but get right into your heart truly as uncovering the authenticity in aura. This new album is called "Strangeland," which interests me in a short time when getting to know the name and its style. Oh, mine, I am about to cry, I know it looks a bit sentimental and fails in judgement with rationality, but that's truly how I perceive the music from Keane. I love them

Othello; Hamlet- Act 1, Scene 2

In the class today, Shakespeare's Othello presents a king who is lured by Iago for gradually believing his words which is calculated designed. He is mentioned nobly by his character at first but opens up an irony afterward. In my viewpoint, it uncovers the lack of confidence and the fall of human nature when causing his suspicious of his wife and the illusion affected by Iago. Seen in this way, Othello's jealousy distorts his judgement in reason. Perhaps his jealousy is based on his mistrustful character. It appears that Othello fears something which might offense his dignity and crack his nobility in position of being a king. Nonetheless, his suspicion has put in the wrong person regarding to his weaken judgement in reason. As to Hamlet, he is so well-thought-out in my opinion. His monologue spontaneously reveals his personal critics toward the mother  and the death of his father. In addition, he can even perceive the meaning behind the entire events, phenomenon and its relati

In Love With Melody

Some people thought I have changed my taste in listening to music since I've been listening to Korean songs. And it's hard to reply them in a proper answer or an exact one. I had been listening to western music since I was child. It made me get used to the melody in my mind profoundly especially for the western style. What I'm trying to say is that, how far can you transgress instead of drawing the line? If you really listen to Korean music, please do not judge them or criticize them in western points of view, it's absolutely vain indeed though some of melody resemble a bit like that, it still differs from them. As music can be no limitation in sharing and composing through creating by musicians, the "audio-point" should be put more emphasis on the work of creators'. Be versatile, be bold, and be intangible! These are my notions in appreciating every types of music. BigBang's "Love Song" embodies a series of condition as going through the lif

Busy days are coming, and I am ready just like one of the lines in Shakespeare's Hamlet , "The readiness is all." I have no choice to escape the situation I have now. There's no way to run in such a time. The doom is set without a doubt. Most of the times I keenly listen to Big Bang's songs nonetheless, because it makes me feel better while stressing out, especially the solos from Taeyang's "I Need A Girl" and Seungri's "Open Window." About three years ago I had been listening to GD's "Heartbreaker" and "Breathe" which are his best compositions. And I love the aesthetic arrangement and concept from the style of the musical videos. They are terrific and extraordinary since I've ever seen such experiment in music for its unique style and magnificent design. But I'd like to shed some lights on Seungri's solo, "Open Window" because he really got his talent in beautiful voice if getting the oppor

Hamlet- Act 1, Scene 1

Act 1, Scene 1 Hamlet - Shakespeare      In today's class, there are four characters in this scene while confronting the apparition of an old king with their struggle. Nevertheless, the part of Horatio interests me a lot since he differentiates from other characters who are the guards. Horatio is a scholar and a Christian leading people to believe him with highly intellect and respect him as viewing him in good judgement while facing some certain event. In general, we may rely on the intellectual for they own the knowledge more than common people and instead of merely believing another three guards in a moment. Shakespeare lets us see the interesting phenonmenon for the result striking Horatio, and the audiences somehow easily follow his mind without warning, so Horatio's conversion  reinforces the belief of the truth while seeing real apparition. Upon learning this, to see it with their own eyes and to reason or to imagine it are totally different as we can see this part. In

Unpleasant Sound

Stop that ideal you As being aware of noon Your bone, zizagging Your eyes, blinding, too. Achievement has done Sterility serves you none Few days to fall in a fool If knowing games not to lose But bear in mind this prelude Not until you wooden look.

New Year for Expectations

There are so many unknown expectations this year. First of all, of course, Keane is going to release new album, which I have been waiting half and a year. Next, the part-time job in English Dept. office will be started since the day school begins. I still work at there because of my working experience. Last time I was settled in the afternoon on Wednesdays. But this time I am going to work in the entire morning on Tuesday, which one of staff had arranged the time for us. To be honest, working in the morning might be a bit dull in my opinion because everyone is working on thier business and can hardly talk to others. But relatively, the working load might be less for us. But if the time is set in the afternoon, our working business will be getting more heavier. Because some files and letters or some other documents should be delivered at about 3 thirty pm, we need to climb up the slope to reach the administrative building or even higher for the Providence Hall. But the funny thing is th
