Songs that are constantly remade
Original Song
Ilgi Ye-bo's 'If Only You Were There,' performed at the Campus Song Festival; its freshness is its greatest weapon.
The version remade in 2004 by Japanese singer and actress Tomomi Kahara, 'Anata ga Ireba.'
It feels like a localized cover, but since the overall key isn't very high, it feels like it couldn't quite capture the soulful appeal of the original.
The Pachelbel's Canon sampling is much more noticeable than in the original.
The most popular version is by Loveholic; since it's a band formed by Ilgi Ye-bo member Kang Hyun-min, it's essentially a self-remake,
but they cut out the Canon sampling part, which actually makes it better...
The version remade by Nerd Connection for the movie 'Our Summer' OST.
While Loveholic might be the more mainstream version, younger generations likely encountered this song through them.
It has surpassed 130 million views on YouTube alone, and the vocalist's deeply soulful voice is its standout feature.
The version remade by American actor and singer Julian Lerner.
While the original and previous remakes all feel like they are begging for love,
this version feels like it has the audacity to say it will protect love at all costs...
Anyway, this is just an introductory post to build up to the final song.
Signing off.
