Korean music, part 1 - Nell

Ok, so I decided to write a little about what Korean & Japanese music that I like! 

Nell is one of the bands that I think deserve more attention! It's a South Korean band founded in 1999 by Kim Jong-wan (vocals, guitar, keyboard, songwriter, lyric writer), Lee Jae-kyung (guitar), Lee Jung-hoon (bass guitar), and Jung Jae-won (drums). While performing at a club in Hongdae (!) in 2002 they were discovered and signed to a major label. The most recent years they've become well-known in Korea but unfortunately they still seem pretty unknown overseas. 


While in Hongdae I bought two of their albums - Healing Process (2006) Separation Anxiety (2008). Both very good albums! Most songs are very sad and emotional, and fortunately many of the lyrics are easy to find translated into English! For the moment the band members are in Korean military service, and they will be there until next year (I think). I can barely wait 'til they release another album!

Nell - It's okay (Let's take a walk, 2007)

Nell - Thank you (Walk through me, 2004) - English sub


Nell - Time spent walking through memories (Separation Anxiety, 2008)


Nell - Tokyo (Separation Anxiety, 2008) - English lyrics


Last but not least:
Nell - Promise me (Separation Anxiety, 2008) - live performance
