one of the most beautiful songs i've heard in a while. Tiger JK made this video himself with a budget of just around $700. you can really feel the emotion in his voice.
the song is about his grandmother who recently passed away. she was his caretaker when he was younger. it also reflects his passion and love for music.
what do you think of it?
*edit* Drunken Tiger - 8:45 Heaven Lyrics translated by LosingID8
*note* 8:45 refers to the time of day his grandmother passed away
Verse 1: I should have done well while she was here, I should have said it while she could hear A morning that was no different from any other day I could already feel the sound of the bell waking me up It’s already too late to rewind the time One last cry, Oh! Please god try, Please don’t let her die on me I know it’s a lie You said to wait and you’d give me happiness You said to wait until I stand at the top of the summit Please hold back a little bit, leave her in this world god please just this once pretend you didn’t see it and close your eyes It’s gotta be a mistake, god isn’t perfect either god’s trying to take the most precious thing in this world
Chorus: 8:45, she’s going to heaven To a tranquil world where only goodness exists It was 8:45, she’s going to heaven If you can hear my voice Know that I love you 8:45, she’s going to heaven To a tranquil world where only goodness exists It was 8:45, she’s going to heaven If you can hear my voice Know that I love you
Verse 2: I should have done well while she was here, I should have shouted it while she could hear How much I love her I tightly hold your hand without a response Hoping that you can hear me if I yell loudly I shout Please get up and open your eyes One last cry, let me say good bye, Please don't let her die on me I know it’s a lie Even if the world hates me I’m still your best Regardless of what anyone says you don’t lay the blame upon me Your unconditional love Creates miracles and more miracles After god the most perfect perfect beauty The most beautifulist thing in the world, the most precious thing in the universe my love
Chorus: 8:45, she’s going to heaven To a tranquil world where only goodness exists It was 8:45, she’s going to heaven If you can hear my voice Know that I love you 8:45, she’s going to heaven To a tranquil world where only goodness exists It was 8:45, she’s going to heaven If you can hear my voice Know that I love you
Verse 3 Where are you going without saying a final word Although I breathe my chest is only filled with pain Even when I sigh only pain is left In this empty world you don’t see me But I try to laugh, seeing myself so sad Because she might be sad too I promise I’ll never forget you Now I’ll let go of your hand (that was having a difficult time)
Chorus: 8:45, she’s going to heaven To a tranquil world where only goodness exists It was 8:45, she’s going to heaven If you can hear my voice Know that I love you 8:45, she’s going to heaven To a tranquil world where only goodness exists It was 8:45, she’s going to heaven If you can hear my voice Know that I love you
Outro: To heaven... To a tranquil world... To heaven... To a tranquil world... To a tranquil world... Now she's back up in heaven again I know you're up in heaven
To all who have lost a loved one If you hear my voice Know that I love you... Know that I love you...
Original Lyrics: 있을 때 잘할 걸 들릴 때 말할 걸 어느 날과 다를 것 없었던 그 날 아침 날 깨우는 벨소리에 난 이미 느꼈어 시간을 돌리기에는 이미 늦었어 One last cry, Oh! Please god try, Please don't let her die on me I know it's a lie 내가 행복하게 해 준다고 기다리랬잖아 내가 정상에 설 때까지 기다린 댔잖아 조금만 더 참아줘 세상에 남아줘 신아 제발 이번 한번 못 본 척 눈 감아줘 실수일거야 신도 완벽하진 않아 이 세상 가장 소중한 걸 가지려 하잖아
8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 오직 선만이 존재하는 평온한 세계로, 8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 내 목소리가 들린다면 Know that I love you 8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 오직 선만이 존재하는 평온한 세계로, 8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 내 목소리가 들린다면 Know that I love you
있을 때 잘할 걸 들릴 때 외칠 걸 얼마나 내가 그댈 사랑한다고 대답 없는 당신의 손을 꼭 붙잡고 혹시 크게 외치면 들릴까 소리질러봐 제발 일어나 눈을 떠봐 One last cry, let me say good bye, Please don't let her die on me I know it ain't her time 세상이 나를 미워해도 난 당신의 최고 그 누가 뭐래도 절대 날 탓하지 않은 무조건적인 당신의 사랑은 기적과도 같은 기적을 만드는 신 다음 가장 완벽한 완벽한 아름다움 The most beautifulist thing in the world, the most precious thing in the universe my love
8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 오직 선만이 존재하는 평온한 세계로, 8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 내 목소리가 들린다면 Know that I love you 8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 오직 선만이 존재하는 평온한 세계로, 8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 내 목소리가 들린다면 Know that I love you
마지막 인사말도 없이 그댄 어딜 가 숨을 쉬어도 내 가슴은 아픔만이 꽉 차 한숨을 밀어내도 아픔만이 남아 텅 빈 이 세상에 난 보이지 않아 하지만 애써 웃어 너무 슬퍼하는 내 모습을 보며 혹시 그대마저 슬퍼할까 봐 약속해 절대 그대 잊지 않을게 이제 힘든 당신의 손을 놓아드릴게
8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 오직 선만이 존재하는 평온한 세계로, 8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 내 목소리가 들린다면 Know that I love you 8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 오직 선만이 존재하는 평온한 세계로, 8:45 그대는 하늘나라로 내 목소리가 들린다면 Know that I love you
하늘나라로... 평온한 세계로... 하늘나라로... 평온한 세계로... 평온한 세계로... I know she's back up in heaven again 사랑을 잃은 모든 사람들에게... 내 목소리가 들린다면 Know that I love you... Know that I love you...
Hm, I guess the 700$ budget wasn't that hard considering he didn't use any props in his video since he was playing air instruments all the time. Even though i don't understand korean, i felt that he did really put all his emotion into this song.

That's most probably not the video in itself, it's the convertion that have made the vid and sound not sync.

I just meant that I didn't think a voice like that would be coming out of that face. It's kind of a rough masculine voice, not what I expected.
As of 2006, JK was diagnosed with myelitis. JK first learned of his myelitis in March 2005. Although his affliction threatened to hold him back, he was able to feature on Psy’s recent album. He also launched his own fashion brand, Lungta, which showed his extreme dedication to his work. He also collaborated with Korean superstar Rain in the song "Friends" off of Rain's new CD Rain's World.
Tiger JK also recently released a new album titled "Sky is the Limit" (September 2007). It features multiple Korean artists including Ann, T, Double K, DOK 2, Bizzy, and TEBY. The Intro track is titled Sky is the Limit and is a remix of clips from multiple songs that were successful in his career. His 7th album also has strong influences from reggae and African music and is similar to his 6th album. The album's first title song, "8:45 Heaven," was inspired by the death of his late grandmother, who passed during the recording of the 7th album.
On October 22nd, Tiger JK posted his first message to Drunken Camp members and US DT fans. Though brief, JK's activism on Camp will allow for fans to post questions/messages to him. Below is what was written, as well as a direct link for fans to respond:
"from tiger jk... thank you
Posted: 22 Oct 2007 03:42 pm
missed ya'll drunken campers!!!
things been hectic but no excuses
my dumb ass finally got the key to this site
ill be back soon to repay all the love
now i need a cane to stand but my mic sounds nice check one~
dont be a stranger, hollar at me one!"
here if anyone also wants to join up heres a link to drunkencamp what what im not only a listener im also a member ^_^hahaha http://www.drunkencamp.com/
i god this drunken tiger song is fujcking hilarious
he switches back and forth from english to korean and at several points he switches from english to korean and the first korean word he says is 니가 which sounds like NIGGA
wheesung's new albums out too. The title song features some rap from wheesung lol. Its really popular right now. I gota sing this next time i go to noraebang.
haha i have that song in my cd in the car zzz i love wheesung, but the only thing that bothers me is his unability to sing well live. he goes off pitch a lot and just doesn't sing too well live.
imo the best singer in korea that can sing and rap well is taebin.
i like how this thread went off from the serious topic of the 8:45 heaven song to this happy "love is delicious" kind of song.. - _-;;
Ehh, I think alot of those mistakes are due to his dancing. I agree he does show some inconsistencies thoguh. Some days he doesn't make any mistakes, but other times you can clearly see his struggling to hit the high notes. Overall, his a great performer and better than most people live.
About taebin, he can rap but his singing is pretty average. All his songs are generally pretty low key. I suspect his range is limited. He does sing well, but the difficulty of his songs are a step below people like wheesung, kim bum soo, park hyo shin, etc.

In my opinion Tei is the best singer. He just has amazing pitch and range, and a truly "masculine" voice.
if you guys like this sort of music the Street Fighter Animated Movie has a beautiful song during the fight scene between Chun Li and Vega (AKA Balrog)... the song is only in the Japanese version though the English sub has some dance music. unfortunately i have no idea who it's by or where to hear the full version online:

yeah, i didnt mean i thought taebin was the best singer, but rather a person that can rap and sing well in general.
Tei is definately good, his voice is really husky which leads towards his more masculine voice. I'm really into korean singers that have a big range and i dunno why but i like sexy runs. If they can sing a rnb song with really good smooth runs then i'll usually like them. Examples of some of my favorite singers are Hwanhee from fly to the sky, kwill, yoon min soo from vibe, kim bum soo, and brown eyes ;D
God i loved drunken tiger ever since i heard there song Do You Know Hip Hop. Can't find there albums ANYWHERE, but now i can proudly say I own their latest album =].
Anyone with the mp3 for 8:45 heaven, plz send me a pm plz ^^ I shed a tear when i heard this song, mainly because im very close with my grandma because i live with my grandparents, beautiful song...

Is this your first time hearing Korean hiphop? I hope not considering you lived in Korea so long...cause almost every Korean song has some English in it.
Old thread, I know .. Pressure sent me the link to this song a couple of hours ago and I was touched by the song. Some people don't have the song so I took the liberty of uploading it.
