      You should definitely check out the "Birth of A King" album by Tommee Profitt. He's got some fantastic singers in the lineup and the arrangement of the songs are chef's kiss 😘
      Maybe you could start with "What Child is This" by Evvie McKinney or "Noel (He is born)" by Stanaj or "Mary, Did You Know" by Jordan Smith

    Kpop이 주류를 이룬 한국음악 산업에서 클래식을 기반으로 한 크로스오버 그룹이 자리를 잡기는 쉽지 않았어요. 더구나 락, 뮤지컬, 오페라 이 세가지 각기 다른 장르의 숙달된 전문가가 모여 하나의 음악적 세계관을 만들어 내기까지 오랜 시간이 걸렸습니다. 기존에 유명한 곡을 더 아름답게 만드는 기술적인 측면은 그들에겐 오히려 좀 더 간단한 일이였을지지도 몰라요. 포레스텔라가 만들어 진지 7년이 되었지만 여지껏 발매되어온 앨범을 차례대로 들어보면 그들이 그들의 음악적 방향성을 찾기위해 얼마나 많은 시행착오를 겪었는지 알수 있어요. 큰 기획사에서 연습생 시절을 겪으며 풍부한 기획력과 자본으로 그 음악을 소비하는 주류 타겟에게 맞추어진 방향성을 가지고 만들어진 그룹과는 태생이 다른 그룹입니다. 스스로 일군 길은 거칠고 힘들었지만 분명한 것은 그들은 매일매일 발전하고 있습니다. 오래 지켜봐온 팬들이 놀랄 정도로요.
    그들은 독창적이고 대단한 가수이지만 거대 팬덤을 만들기에 대부분의 kpop 가수처럼 어린예쁜 소년은 아닐뿐더러 팬들 평균 연령조차 어리지 않아요. 그리고 불모지에 가까운 크로스오버 장르에서 이만큼 해외로 이름을 알리기도 쉽지 않았죠. 그럼에도 포레스텔라는 항상 기대를 하게 만드는 팀이고 나만 알고 있기가 미안할 정도의 팀입니다. 그들은 세계에 이름을 알리기에 충분한 자격을 갖추었습니다. 그리고 그럴꺼라고 믿어요.

    The idea and composition came about during a snowstorm that lasted several days during a concert tour. Originally a completely different story, the guys ultimately developed a "Ballerina Story" from it, which deliberately leaves a lot of room for individual interpretation. For example: The desire of the ballerina, who had previously been protected in her "snow globe", to realize her dream and step into the spotlight. To feel exposed to the pressure of being observed from all sides, criticism and the risk of failure ("nobody catches you when you fall") and ("to smile and keep dancing despite the pain") not to give up ("don't look down if you fall from grace"). A path that many people probably take, not just artists. The "weird" dissonant harmonies you mentioned perfectly reflect these contradictory feelings and experiences, in my opinion, and culminate (also musically) in personal fulfillment. For me, this song is another highlight that I listen to over and over again.

    You need to check out Kang Hyung Ho singing 'Phantom Of The Opera' solo to really appreciate his versatility as a singer. BTW, he goes by the stage name 'PITTA' when he sings solo. The members of Foretellla were and are still artists in their own right. It is interesting when you hear them sing solo numbers, on occasion. It gives you a greater appreciation of each artist as an individual. I would love you to cover them as individual performers as well as Forestalla as a whole.

It is written by HyungHo, then more input from his Forestella Brothers, when they were snowed in, in America during Forestella's first tour in the USA..

    I found for those who study music, really into music, will find Forestella is a treasure. But those who just enjoy pop, will not understand how good their music is.
    Let me put it this way, pop music is like a can of Coke, lots of kids like it. Forestella is earthy, complex red wine, not everyone knows how to enjoy it. But if you know how to enjoy it, you’ll just can’t go back to pop soda.
    BTW, 10/10. Their music is like a black hole to me.

    10/10! Their voices and songs are healing. They make me crazy also. I find something new each time I listen to a song again and also with each of their voices. They all are beautifully gifted. They give me a sense of fullness/completeness/contentment that makes it hard for me listen to others. Would recommend their covers of Bad Romance, Despacito, Maldita sea mi suerte, Nella Fantasia, Dell'Amore Non Si Sa, In Un' Altra Vita, Shape of You, Inner Universe, Time in a Bottle, All the Kings Horses. Their cover of Korean ballads and songs: Snail, Moonlight in Silla, If I Leave, As I Live, Magic Castle, Cherished Face, After a Long time.

  • @j.f.3342
    @j.f.3342 2 дні тому +47

    The mini-album, of which "Snow-Globe" is part, is called "Unfinished", so the unresolved end of the piece is, in my opinion, very fitting. (And perhaps an allusion to the more or less pronounced "forced break" due to Ko WooRim's military service).
    And yes, some of their songs, especially their own, are quite complex and not to everyone's taste. There are plenty of "calm, simple songs" (they have some too), but FORESTELLA doesn't necessarily want to be mainstream. They once said that they want to experiment and create creative and beautiful music of all kinds, even if not everyone likes it. (You've only heard a small part of it so far). - Kang HyungHo said of UTOPIA: You'll either love it or hate it - The cool video also shows the inventiveness and artistic complexity of these guys. Another artistically versatile all-round package for an imaginative journey. For my part, I love complex pieces that I can grapple with, one of the many reasons why I really appreciate this group.

    I was so looking forward to the day you would react to Snow Globe, and you didn't dissappoint 🤩 Thanks so much for the many new insights into my favourite Forestella song! I think I feel a bit like you must have while listening to this song 😅 There is so much I'd like to respond to, but then I would still be typing tomorrow.
    I find it interesting that this song and video in particular prompted you to say that Forestella sometimes don't seem quite real to you. Interesting especially because one of the many ways to interpret the lyrics and the video is biographical, with the ballerina representing Forestella themselves (stars align, odds in our favour, how we fly and how far we fall). And the video leaves it up to the viewer to decide if the ballerina in the snow globe ever became a real person and wether it would be a good thing if she did. I also think that all the members of Forestella are very good at creating a "Kunstfigur", to use a German expression I don't really know how to translate acurately. Artistic persona maybe? I mean that they are using the entirety of themselves to create a means for expressing their art. And that, by necessity, comes with a certain degree of artificiality. - The word doesn't sound right, but I don't know what else to use. I mean that they are creating a heightened reality by artistic means, and their voices and personas are part of that. Everything is deliberate and presented in the service of artistic expression. In my view, that makes Forestella on stage hyper-real, like the ballerina who is a work of art and a fragile real person all at once.
    Enough of that 😅 I just want to add that if you watch them in their Behind the Scenes, let alone their live streams they seem incredibly down to earth, funny, a bit dorky and absolutely lovely. And that's why I'm rating them 11/10, as cheesey as it sounds. 😊
    Thank you for all your entertaining and enlightening reactions this year and Merry Christmas! 💚💚

    Thanks Sir. Your analysis of Forestella's music always draws my attention to the finer details I missed. Forestella is my musical dream cone true. They are hardworking, professional, talented, humble and might I say very handsome. Definitely 10/10. Whenever I listen to their originals I get the picture of Winter, Summer, Autumn and Spring coming together to create a perfect storm. Their covers are like a perfectly woven piece of cloth. Expensive, luxurious, enveloping me in warmth. They touch my heart and soul and I love them. You are right. Their music is not for the 'faint-hearted'. They are SPECIAL. Much appreciation to you, Sir.

    Yay!! I was waiting for your reaction to this song 🎉 Forestella is always my 10/10 group I think because of how diverse their range is. I love the beautiful and emotional ballads, the pop focused covers, and their original work like this which crosses boundaries between rock opera and pop. They really know how to pick the perfect person for each part and it’s amazing how they can both blend so weak but then also sound so distinctive in their tones. I can’t wait until all 4 of them can perform this song live together and to see what is coming next!! ❤

    hyungho wrote this entire score within the few days they were snowed in during a freak snowstorm (and it WAS a freak snowstom because dallas doesn't have snowstorms!) while on tour in dallas, texas, feb 2023. you caught on to the dark undertones. he was riffing on the fact that they were trapped inside small hotel rooms away from home. he enlisted the help of a lyricist to build an allegorical story about a dancer figure trapped in a snow globe. however, it's not actually a christmas song.
    if i recall, the unresolved chord at the end was a play on the album title this song was a part of. it's called "unfinished" and snow globe is the first track.

Enjoy your journey with Forestella l am sure when WooRim returns from the military we will have a lot to look forward to!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .. roll on 19/5/2025 WooRim completes his military service he’s been missed❤

    Thank you SH 💕 for your reaction to Forestella ❤❤❤❤ once again.
    I won't rate Forestella just because my 10 would be highly suspicious since I'm a fan and I can't be impartial 😂 but, seriously speaking, although I'm a laywoman in terms of musical technicality, I love the music they make because of the different and attractive musical arrangements (and there's direct participation of the members on the decisions), the complex and wonderful vocal arrangements and also because of the artistic performance! Every aspect of Forestella, artistically speaking, captivates my attention! Add to this other aspects, non-artistic, that made me a “crazy fan” (for the first time in my life!) of an artist! They are, simply, admirable ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Complex or not, I find Forestella’s music is very pleasing to my ears. I love acapella. But I like acapella with the instrumental music better. That’s why I can’t get enough of Forestella. I have enjoyed all of their music from simple ballads to complex numbers like this both covers and originals. I rate this group very highly. Probably a 9.8. This particular video would get a 9.1 since you gave Utopia a 9.2.
    “ Time in a bottle”, Inner Universe, “ “Spread Silk on my heart” and Bad Romance, covers would get a higher rating just because I was blown away by the transformation. I find their performance of. “ Till” , Moonlight, Footprints in the sand, and Scarborough Fair very calming.
    Crossover music is only just beginning to get recognized and appreciated in Korea and elsewhere. Hopefully their fanbase will increase rapidly now that they have started introducing movement and acting. Younger folks seem to like dance numbers.
    Also, we know you were trying to focus on Christmas music this month. Happy you fit in Forestella even though they don’t really have Carols in their repertoire. “ Till” and “ Snow globe” were the only two that come close.
    Thank you SH!

    I really enjoyed this song, thank you for introducing me to it! I adore minor waltzes (like the Cinderella waltz). Though I *do* have to say that I was distracted by the (poorly rendered) ballerina. I realize it’s not their main focus, but I do wish they paid a little more attention to how a dancer moves 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, the Royal Ballet 💕💕

  • @CrzyJen

    My brain sees this song as a fanciful retelling of how they became a team, like a fairytale version of it. Four lonely individuals wanting to be something more. Lured by a faint melody, it shatters their reality, and they take the leap of faith to join the competition.
    They put on a smile and dance (sing) through the pain (like Hyungho did in the Phantom Singer 2 finals). When they start winning they never let anyone take off their crown, but once you grab fame, you can’t put it back in the box. They know they will never be the same again.
    They circle back to a sad nostalgia, going back in time with Woorim singing the line “The starry night…” (Starry Night is literally the song he sang at his audition for PS2) and thinking about their lives as solo dancers (singers).
    However, the stars aligned, and their fate was decided. They took their place center stage and have never stopped taking that leap of faith to set the crowds alight. It ends with a promise that they will fly until the fanfare plays one last time.
    The dancers all wearing masks also feels like a tip of the hat to PS2 as well, but this is just my perception of it. People often compare the song to “Once Upon a December” from Anastasia (and with good reason).
    It is one of my favorite songs, and the fact that it ends unresolved (and what will happen with our snow globe ballerina now that she is human??) is probably the basis for the album being called “Unfinished.” I can’t wait to see and hear how it ends (hopefully with Woorim’s return).
    Since you asked about the Latin (and this is probably a really crappy translation)::
    1st verse (snow globe crack)
    ** orta recens quam ingens votum divis hospes opes secretum **
    “newly arisen, how great is the wish of the rich host of the secret wealth”
    2nd verse (coin fall)
    ** audeamus eatenus **
    “let us dare/venture so far”
    3rd verse (before the last chorus)
    ** acsi vos expetes **
    “as if you were looking for”
    As for another Forestella song? Time in a Bottle? Shape of You? Lazenca, Save Us (Rock Opera)? MAMA (EXO cover)? You’ll find something, you really can’t go wrong with Forestella.

    celestial harmony with
    his forest 🌲brethren.
    When Kang climbs to his
    soprano elevation. His voice
    shimmers. He's like a human
    wind chime. I would like to order
    one for my window, please. 🎐
    I first heard "Snow Globe" last year.
    I found it surprising. busy. complicated.
    And still do. It's the scary theme park waltz
    vibe that I don't jive with, but that's okay.
    I rate Forestella so high in my heart.
    I don't think "Till" is a Christmas song but they
    sing it on a winter stage and it's one of my favorite
    Forestella songs. It has a soft dreamy vibe. 🧸

    • @maryjohn3807
      @maryjohn3807 2 дні тому +5

      The lady is Patty Kim, the Korean pop legend they were honoring that week. She was the first person who sang “ Till” in Korean in the early 60’s. Originally a French song, English versions were sung by Percy Faith in the 60’s and made famous by Shirley Bassey in the 70’s . Patty Kim called the song “ Pledge of love” . Forestella was one of the groups invited to sing on the episode of Immortal songs in December 2022 to honor her. So they used a Christmas theme and stage decor and it worked so well for the song.

    This wonderful composition by Hyungho, who is active as a producer and vocal director for Forestella, is a perfect 10.👍🏻♥️
    No singer can handle this complex composition that crosses major and minor as well as Forestella.
    In other words, Hyungho is the one who understands Forestella's vocal characteristics and musical direction the best, so it can be said that he created the most appropriate song for them.
    Hyungho is also active in the rock band Pitta, and he has quite a few of his own compositions. If you have the chance, I recommend listening to them.

    Thanks for your amazing reaction and analysis to Forestella again!
    I don't think this is a Christmas song like a carol (BTW Cho MinGyu has more carol-like song A CHRISTMAS SYMPHONY he recently released, he co-composed it and wrote the lyrics. ) rather closer to the Night Before Christmas spooky vibe, like their version of My Favorite Things, like you said.
    I don't know why, but the 3 songs they released just before Ko WooRim's enlisting were in waltz (I'm not sure, it's 3 tempo so I thought it's waltz rhythm); White Night, Chagall's Dream and Snow Globe. These 3 songs are in their latest mini album : Unfinished. So it will be interesting to check Chagall's Dream as well.
    In 2019, they covered 그리운 얼굴 (the Face I missed/ The Nostalgic Face) in noire waltz style at Immortal Songs. I recommend it to check. I love Ko WooRim's charming intro there.
    This song was released after Ko WooRim enlisted so I thought it wouldn't be possible to see the live till his discharge, surprisingly in their latest concert THE ILLUSIONIST their first concert as trio, they sang it with recorded voice of Ko WooRim. You can find many fan-cams. In the same concert, they had Apocalypse (their first original single as trio) - Earth Song (of MJ) - Nella Fantasia in a row. I hope you to watch those too.
    A JOYFUL CHRISTMAS in advance!
