The drama in this her arrangement exemplifies the yearning of Korea to be unified despite their long history of wars. I love her adding the exiting high notes and runs so uncharacteristic for this folk song.
Had to make another suggestion. React to her singing "EVERYONE" that is her mist difficult song she has said, but she is so so Amazing. Its this song that you will see her talent. She come from a Gospel Background. That song is a korean gospel song
Nick, the others have given you some details about this ancient Korean Folk Song. I often repeat them - and myself. But, two things I want to share with you. Sohyang and her small group develop the full musical and physical arrangements for all of her TV and Stage performances. She is a musical genius and it is on display whenever she performs. Second, Sohyang is not SINGING. I will explain; she has been gifted with a voice that is a musical instrument. Others sing. She plays a musical instrument that is so precise it exceeds the power and beauty of a Stradivarius - and it can form words. Follow her and you will discover this to be true. May I suggest: "I Am a Singer Legend So Hyang I have Nothing, DMC Festival 2015". It's great to have you along. Cheers.
Please react to singing the jazz classic Misty (Begin Again performance) and also her rendition last year of Adele's song Easy On Me -- it was with just a keyboard player outdoors under a huge bridge by the sea and she posted it to her youtube channel. For a glimpse into her versatility check out her singing Mona Lisa (King of Masked Singer performance), I Have nothing, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Lean On Me, and Everyone (which is more gospel -- her home element)
It was like she was supposed to have a small concert outdoors but the abrupt heavy rains stopped it. Therefore she seemed to give a smaller stage free to some audience having awaited the main one under one of the bridges of River Haan penetrating the capital city Seoul, S.Korea.
You should check out her cover of the old Korean pop/gospel song "Everyone". Its got lyrics (at least the version she sings) in both English and Korean, and shes on record saying it was the hardest performance shes ever had to prepare for. The song is obviously very special to her, knowing the lyrical content and her life story, which of course puts more pressure on her to do it justice. But it's also a very technically demanding song on top of that. I won't spoil things though.
so hyang--bridge over troubled water/i have nothing/o holy night/arirang alone/everyone/upon this rock/us national anthem/hero/power of love/let it go/breathe/hug me/amazing grace/i will always love you/misty/ if i ain't got you
Arirang has no direct translation to English but the idea it represents is along the lines of very hard work or diligent struggle. The song is based on a Korean folk song that has evolved over a period of 600 years and now is an allegory for their desire to reunite north and south. Sohyang is difficult to rationally explain. She might have died from cervical cancer when she was 20 but credits God with her healing. Yet a bad blood transfusion at the time of the surgery left her with hepatitis B. Normally that is easily cured with antibiotics but this was the rare incurable variety so it plagues her to this day with a compromised immune system and she contracts pneumonia rather often. For a four year period from 2016 to 2020 she was battling it eight different times and was almost out of circulation in the musical community. Thus Sohyang knows what it is to be chronically ill for a lengthy period of time but again credits God with teaching her invaluable spiritual lessons from it. She has largely been fine since then but did come down with covid19 for two weeks in the summer of 2022. Thankfully she recovered well and at the age of 46 sings as excellently today as she ever has. You are right when the thought comes to mind that there is no way this woman is 46! She looks 10 or 15 years younger, at least! But it is true. She was born on April 5, 1978! 🤷♂ Professional "super star" level music producers (David Foster), singers (Michael Bolton and Josh Groban), teachers (Seth Riggs) and vocal coaches by the boat load are pretty well stupefied at how much talent is wrapped up in this tiny five foot four inch, 100 pound woman. Sohyang has trained her central nervous system to the point, and developed such articulate muscular control, that her singing technique is perfect. She is considered a master singer. Literally. Again Sohyang gives the credit to the divine entity, stating her voice "is from God." Obviously she has taken her singing talent to the nth degree, and tells others who want to enter the world of professional singing that they must be born with a good voice and then work very hard to develop it. But this barely scratches the surface of who Sohyang is and how talented she is on stage. Her stage presence and body language are unmatched in my experience, much like what Elvis Presley had fifty years ago but different, of course, since she is a sincere Christian woman and believes in presenting herself in modest yet excellent quality theatrical attire and with absolute confidence and purpose at all times. I have also found these high production value South Korean music presentations to be as good as you will find anywhere on the planet. They show Sohyang in the best fashion possible and these seem, to me, as good as you would find at _any_ of the Grammy Awards in their heyday. When you add a Super Star talent like Sohyang to the show, everyone who watches it is quite rightly blown away. 👀😮💥👌😎🎸🎙👽🛸💖💖💖 Here is the before and after of Sohyang's performance: th-cam.com/video/FnIxSZagxak/w-d-xo.html
Arirang has no direct translation because whatever meaning it might have had in the past is completely unknown. Linguists have no idea if it was even a word that had a meaning in the first place.
@@ToddSauve yeah, I'm not trying to dispute the idea that Koreans associate some meaning to it. Just that in a pure linguistics sense, we know nothing, so there's no real way to properly translate it because there's not really a specific meaning to translate.
Unlike most artists she doesn't sing trying to become super big/famous/rich. Sohyang says her goal with her music is first to glorify God since she's devout a Christian but also try bringing some comfort for those who are struggling and suffering in life. She has had her own share of struggling and suffering. In her early 20's she was diagnosed with Cancer with led to her not beeing able to get pregnant devestating news to get when you're newly married. Further she has dealt with Pnemonia 3 times. Some other songs worth checking out with her is Dream, Everyone, I Have Nothing, Upon This Rock to name a few.
Whats bonkers is the fact that you haven't seen anything yet with sohyang. She is in my opinion on a different plane than everyone else she is a genius and legend. The fact she didn't start singing until she was 19, the fact she writes and arranges all these songs w/family the fact that she sings for god Ang believes he healed her from cancer and blessed her with her singing after the cancer made her sterile.the performance factor I have not watched one sohyang cover that I did not think she upgraded and updated and made better. And I'm a gen x metalhead from the u.s. anyways love your work. Cheers!!! # new subscriber guy
