*Review of Music Video*
I'm not really a huge fan of K-Pop (Korean Pop music) but Wedding Dress is a pretty catchy song even though I cant understand the majority of the song.
The overall it is about a guy who is heartbroken over the fact that he lost his chance to be with this girl who he fell head over heels for. She is now getting married and he feels alone and remembers their greatest times together and the times where he could have asked her to be his.
You can tell that from the start of the music video that the song is very heartfelt. The beginning when TaeYang is sitting on the piano bench looking frustrated with his his hands hover over the keys while reminiscing of his time with her this shows how much he feels for this one girl.
One of the most powerful parts of the music video is at the end when he flashes back to when he approached her at a gallery and gets her alone and begins to try to tell her how he feels but he is interrupted by her boyfriend who is later revealed to now be her fiancé, when he placed an engagement ring on her finger. Then he's back to reality and he's at her wedding, he looks at her from afar and realizes just how happy she is. Then he takes out an engagement ring that was obviously meant for her, he was going to propose to her the day that he confessed his feelings for her. Now that he sees her truly happy with another man, he lets go and the ring slips from his fingertips and slowly lands on the floor and the sound that the ring makes when it lands on the floor echoes symbolizing how empty and alone he is and the fact that he finally let her go.
The only part of the song any English speaker would understand would be the part when he says the title "wedding dress" and when he sings "...baby you should be my lady". Since the song is not entirely in English it lets listeners pay more attention to the overall message of the song.
The beat and tempo are really catchy and the overall feeling of the song is very emotional and sentimental. Notice that in every time he is alone the scene is very black and white which reflects how he feels for losing the one girl that brought color into his life.
One of the major issues with the music video for me is that I couldn't understand what he was saying for the majority of the song... so most of the time I was lost. But I could still follow the plot. If Tae Yang was singing in english then it would be the perfect music video for me.
