♥ Romantic Interpretation ♥

Hello again~

Last time, I already talked about The Wedding Song by Kenny G. However, it was only the rough idea. Now, I will explain the theme/story *again!!?? who ask you to do so??*
This time will be based on the umm, melody? I don't know how to put it, so I will just write it down.. Hopefully you can understand~

In the beginning, the piano plays first. In my opinion, it's kinda like the "guy" inhaled his breath, confirming himself that he was ready to play the song, giving his best, and letting go the girl.

At 00:22, the sax starts playing. This is the first part (00:22-00:45). For me, around this time, the guy was talking to himself. Keep repeating how much he loved the girl. At 00:37, he suddenly started pondering himself how can he fall in love to his friend.

Part two starts from 00:46 till 01:26. At this point of time, he was recalling him memory, from the first time he met her. There were some cute and funny things happenned when he was with her. Probably the girl is quite clumsy and "slow". He felt very happy whenever he was around her. At 01:06, he suddenly realized that those happy and warm feeling within him is love. He could help but laugh at himself because he never thought that he would fall in love with such a clumsy girl like her.

Part three's melody is same with part one (01:27-01:50). At this time, he felt that he wanted to be the one who always protected her, made her happy, wiped away her tears, and supported her. He also wanted to spend more time with her and planned a lot things to do together. I can feel that the guy was smiling when he played this part.

Part four's melody is same with part two (01:51-02:30). The guy was still smiling while playing the beginning at this part. He remembered the time when he decided to study abroad. He was imagining if the girl would cry and miss him when he was away because the girl was very clumsy and always needed his help. He couldn't wait quickly finishing his study and going back to her side. But then, at 02:12, suddenly the image of the girl wearing wedding dress with someone else standing beside her called him back to reality. This image really gave a painful felling to him. He realized that those are just his dreams. The reality was totally different.

From 02:28-02:32, the sax sound is fading away and we can hear a soft touch of piano sound. I feel that at this short time, the guy hit both of his cheeks to fully wake up himself, reminding himself what was the purpose of him playing sax on that day.

At 02:33, the sax starts playing again. This time it's soft gently but sure, reflecting the guy pure (also kinda angelic) determination to let her go.

At 02:44, the sax stops for a moment as if the guy was taking a deep breath.

The sax plays again at 02:45. Now, I can see he was smiling, really smiling from the bottom of his heart, showing that he had no regret.

The guy shouted "May you be happy " at 02:45-02:51 , and "May you be blessed" at "02:52-02:58".

From 02:59 till the end, the guy was like saying "Though we can't be together, my prayer will always be with you."

As the sax and melody fade away, he gently whispered
"...and I will always love you, forever."

Is my interpretation good enough?? Personally, I think that it is very sweet, romantic and touching. *eh? praising myself??*

Well, whatever, anw, I DO love my interpretation!!!! and... I really love the guy in that story. I hope that someday I will find someone like him *AMEN* : )

I'm sure it will make your day great! and Have A Nice Weekend~!!!!

PS: for those who has bf/gf, enjoy your date~ =)

The Wedding Song

Hello~ another random post by me.. hehe :D

Ehm, personally I don't really fancy saxophone instrumental, not that I don't like it. It's just that most of the time saxophone is associated with jazz music and I don't love jazz music.
But, there is one song that I really love, in fact there are three of them. Those are saxophone song or whatever you call it. They are not saxophone instrumental version from a pop song, but they were created originally for saxophone. *umm, hopefully you can get what I mean*

The song that I want to talk about now is The Wedding Song by Kenny G.
Ever heard about it?? It's a very nice song. Go and google it if you haven't.
AND PLEASE PLEASE LISTEN TO IT FIRST BEFORE YOU CONTINUE READING MY POST!! =)

From the title, I am sure that it sounds like a "happy ending" song, instead of a broken heart song. And if you DO follow my instructions, you will find that that song is very romantic after listening to it.

Here I am then. I have my own interpretation of this song, even before I know the title.
Well, I do love to interpret songs before knowing its title or translating it to English (if the song is in any foreign language that I don't speak). Quite a weird hobby, isn't it?

First time I heard this song was couple years ago, about seven years ago if I'm not wrong.
When listen to this song, instead of having a "happy-ending" feeling, there was this overwhelmed feeling of sadness and loneliness in my mind. Thanks to my curiosity, I did a research of this song. After looking for a while, I found out that this song is called The Wedding Song. Again, I listened to it so many times to get the mood to interpret thing song.
Well, I am a so-called romantic person and quite particular about some little things like mood and timing.

After a while, I finally got my mood to analyze this song. However, around that time I was very young and not able to describe things in details since I hadn't learned and seen a lot things.
Erm, I don't know how to explain those, but it's quite similar to tasting. The more knowledge and varieties of food you had taste, the more descriptions in details you can make. Like sometimes people like to say "spicy". The word spicy itself has a lot of different types, for example, pepper spicy, chilly spicy, etc. Sometimes you do realize the differences in the spicy flavour itself, but you just don't know how to describe it.

So, it took me until recently to finally able to describe or so-called interpret this song.
I interpret this song by associating it with its title, The Wedding Song, and below are my story for this song. Hope you will like it :)

Based on the title, of course, this song is a song that is being played in a wedding ceremony or party. But, the question is by whom? The groom or even the bride? And more importantly, to whom this song is dedicated?

In my interpretation, this song was played by the bride's best male friend. He was an old friend of the bride. In fact, this whole time, he had been in love with the bride. He also always be the first one who came whenever the bride needed his help. He was a very loyal friend. He always listened to her stories and complaints. He always put her in the first priority, and there were many more good virtues about him. Just imagine a very gentle, kind, and perfect man, that's him.

He never confessed to the bride because he wanted to be a "MAN" first. He thought that his current condition was not good enough so he wanted to improve himself. He studied abroad (most probably in Vienna, to improve his saxophone skills). However, before he realized it, the bride had found her right man, someone who would stay by her side for the rest of her life.

Hearing that news, he did feel sad. He felt disappointed for not being able to be the one who could make her happy. Of course, he also thought of stealing her from the groom, but he realized that it would only make her sad.

He thought about it for some time. He would keep his feeling for her for himself. He'd never told a single soul about it. He didn't want her to pity him neither gave her a burden by knowing his feeling. One thing for sure, he never called himself "broken-hearted" because he thought that she never broke his heart. It's just that his love for her remained silent forever.

At the end, he composed this song for her. This Wedding Song contained his prayer for her and his determination for letting her go. He might not be the one who'd stand beside her, but his prayer would always be with her and protect her. He prayed for her life to be blessed and happy. And the most important thing, he was sure that it was the best way for him to love her : )
