THE KOREAN WAR

___________________________

Song: Brother My Brother
Artist: Blessid Union of Souls
Link: Here.
Character(s): Im Dae Jyun, Im Yong Soo
Additional Notes?: During the Korean War and afterwards. Also applies to the recent events.
Excerpt:

Brother, my brother
Tell what are we fighting for?
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Can't we just pretend
this war never began

We face each other from different sides
The anger burns, Can't remember why
It's kinda crazy to face such pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way

We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
when you lose your heart?

Brother, My brother
Tell me what are we fighting for?
Isn't life worth so much more?
We should love one another
Can't we just pretend
this war never began?

Tell me why, brother my brother
We can try, brother my brother

Let's take a moment and look deep inside,
And say we're willing to give love a try
We're not as different as we seem to be
There's so much more to me then what you see

Song: Deliver Us
Artist: Prince of Egypt OST- Ofra Haza
Link: Here.
Character(s): North and South Korea
Additional Notes?: Deliver them from this current situation, please.
Excerpt:

DELIVER US
Hear our call
Deliver us
Lord of all
Remember us, here in this burning sand
Deliver us
There's a land you promised us
Deliver us
Out of bondage and
Deliver us to the promised land... [/size]

Song: When You Believe
Artist: Prince of Egypt OST
Link: Here.
Character(s): North and South Korea
Additional Notes?: A song of hope. Is there hope in this situation?
Excerpt:

Many nights, we prayed, with no proof anyone could hear. In our hearts a hopeful song, we barely understood. Now we are not afraid, although we know there's much to fear. We were moving mountains long before we knew we could.

There can be miracles, when you believe. Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill! Who knows what miracles, you can achieve, when you believe, somehow you will.... You will when you believe...[/size]

Song: Running Up that Hill
Artist: Placebo
Link: Here.
Character(s): Im Dae Jyun, Im Yong Soo
Additional Notes?: SK's dream of the great hill, and hopes that one day they'll meet at the top. A metaphor to their broken relationship, seemingly impossible to mend.
Excerpt:

It doesn't hurt me.
You want to feel, how it feels?
You want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You want to hear about the deal I'm making.
You, you and me.

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
there's a thunder in our hearts, baby.

So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, you and me.
you and me, won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
if I only could, oh...

If I only could be running up that hill.

Song: Far Away from Where You Are
Artist: Lifehouse
Link: Here.
Character(s): Im Dae Jyun, Im Yong Soo
Additional Notes?: About being separated. Both of their POVs.
Excerpt:

So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us world's apart
And I miss you
Yeah, I miss you

So far away from where you are
I'm standing underneath the stars
And I wish you were here

I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they'd mean everything to me

Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here

I feel the beating of your heart
I see the shadows of your face
Just know that wherever you are
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

Song: Can't I Even Dream?
Artist: Vocaloid- Miku Hatsune (Japanese) Rockleetist (English)
Link: English / Japanese
Character(s): North and South Korea
Additional Notes?: Ignore the romantic context.
Excerpt:

Desperate and so lonely, I've looked for you.
And left behind all that I had ever longed for.
Cold winds scream through my ears like a banshee.
A freezing chill- A pain that still will forever haunt me.

Yet I have made it here
Running through all the fear.
The sadness in my heart retains the pain.
And if I fall, I've learned
That I may not return.
None of my love remains.[/size][/blockquote]
