사랑 Two

1. 본문

"사랑 Two" (Sarang Two) is a song by Yoon Do-hyun, originally released in 1994 on his debut album, "In Front of the Autumn Post Office."

Here's a breakdown of its meaning and history:

• Meaning of the Title: "사랑 Two" signifies two types of love: love as a friend and love as a romantic interest. The song explores the feelings of a man 고민 (gomin), meaning contemplating, between friendship and love when he unknowingly develops romantic feelings for a close friend.
• Musical Style: It's described as a "Korean rock ballad," starting with a gentle piano melody and sweet vocals, gradually building up to a powerful chorus featuring Yoon Do-hyun's strong, high-pitched vocals and a grand sound.
• Lyrical Themes: The lyrics, reportedly written by Yoon Do-hyun's agency president at the time, express the emotions of someone caught between friendship and romantic love. It portrays the comfort and familiarity of friendship, alongside the realization of deeper feelings. The lyrics describe a person that closes the day and embraces the pain. Lines like "I thought we were just friends in the beginning" and "I won't call this 'love' again" highlight this internal conflict.
• Delayed Success: The song wasn't initially a hit. However, it gained significant popularity during the 2002 World Cup, when Yoon Do-hyun Band (YB) performed it live. This led to a resurgence in the song's popularity, even reaching the top 5 on music charts and becoming one of YB's signature songs.
• Vocal Difficulty: Although not exceptionally high (reaching a G4 note), the song's length and frequent high notes in the chorus make it a good practice song for vocalists to work on breath control.
