Beautiful Thing
Tong Vfang Xien Qi
The Ethereal Beauty of Life and Love
The song 'Beautiful Thing' by Tong Vfang Xien Qi, also known as TVXQ, is a poetic exploration of the beauty found in life and love. The lyrics, primarily in Korean, weave a tapestry of emotions and imagery that evoke a sense of ethereal beauty and introspection. The opening lines, 'IT'S FEEL LIKE BEAUTIFUL THING / dare gurimja are son na,' set the tone for a journey through the delicate and transient moments that make life beautiful. The mention of shadows and hands suggests a connection to the unseen and the intimate, hinting at the deeper layers of human experience.
As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into the passage of time and the fleeting nature of life. Phrases like 'TIME OF LOVE OH naui sarme / horagdwen narun onjeirka' reflect on the moments of love that define our existence, while also acknowledging the inevitable flow of time. The imagery of the wind and the night, 'gwigaye~ memdonun baram / narur odiro deryo garka,' adds a dreamlike quality to the song, emphasizing the transient and almost mystical aspects of life.
The chorus, with its plea for gratitude and love, 'harurur~ nan gamsa hamyo / jagun gidoui sonur moa / gojise garyojin modun gosur / sarang hage hasoso,' encapsulates the song's core message. It is a call to cherish the small moments and to love deeply, despite the impermanence of everything. The song's structure and lyrical content create a sense of longing and appreciation, urging listeners to find beauty in the everyday and to hold onto the moments that make life worth living.
