'Still Life' is a song with a very beautiful melody.
This song also has a poetic metaphor.
Many fans sympathize with BigBang's 'Still Life'.
Among the lyrics of BigBang's 'Still Life', we find the names of two classical composers.
It is Vivaldi and Tchaikovsky.
Vivaldi is a composer of Four seasons.
Vivaldi's Four Seasons is a masterpiece of so famous classical music.
Korean media sometimes release "Korean's favorite classical music," and Vivaldi's four seasons always rank first.
Since the Korean title of Big Bang's "Still Life" is four seasons, it is not strange that Vivaldi appears in the lyrics.
But why Tchaikovsky?
There's a fact people don't know.
Tchaikovsky is also a composer who composed the four seasons.
Russian composer Tchaikovsky composed the four seasons from 1875 to 1876.
However, Tchaikovsky's four seasons are very different from Vivaldi's.
First of all, Tchaikovsky's Four Seasons is a piano collection. On the other hand, Vivaldi's Four Seasons is played by a small orchestra.
Tchaikovsky composed 12 songs from January to December. Each of the 12 songs has a title.
For example, January has the title 'At the Fireside'.
May is 'White Night'.
There are also interesting episodes in Tchaikovsky's Four Seasons.
One day, Tchaikovsky received a tempting offer from the editor of a music magazine.
The editor-in-chief asked Tchaikovsky to compose a song every month because he would send a total of 12 poems from January to December.
He also promised a lot of songwriting fees.
It was an irresistible proposal for Tchaikovsky, who was suffering from economic difficulties at the time.
How happy he was, Tchaikovsky said to his friends, "I'm composing like I'm making pancakes these days."
Tchaikovsky composed very quickly, and the twelve songs were short in length. Maybe Tchaikovsky wanted to get the songwriting fee quickly.
BigBang's 'Still Life' is as mellow and beautiful as Tchaikovsky's Four Seasons. I'll listen to it a few times on my way home today.
