A few days ago, I watched this theatre performance at the Esplanade.
It was in the exact same room as the room that we watched Kaleidescope. 1 to 2 years ago. We, being me and my secondary school schoolmates.
So I watched Mercury.
But I shant talk about the show.
Instead, before the show started, they were playing 'My Grandfather's Clock' in Korean over and over again.
Firstly, My Grandfather's clock is my FAVOURITE childhood song. I know the first two verse and the tune by heart.
Secondly, even though it is in Korean, it doesnt sound like it was sang by some Korean boybands that are so overrated in Singapore, no offence.
Therefore, I have nothing against it.
Somewhere near the end of the show, the actually played the Japanese version of that freaking song !!
My Grandfather's Clock + Japanese language = double love ♥♥
So yeah, I googled/youtubed it when I got home ! And damn, was the Japanese version hard to find!
Lyrics ♥♥
