“Stay With Me” is a song sung by Park Chanyeol and Punch and officially released on December 3, 2016. This song is written by 지훈 and composed by Lee Seung-soo and Rocoberry. This song is the first OST of the Korean romantic fantasy series “Guardian: The Lonely and Great God”.
“Stay With Me” is included in “Guardian: The Lonely and Great God O.S.T”. It is a special TV series for the 10th anniversary of tvN cable television station. And this song has been inserted many times in the play, allowing the audience to be more integrated into the plot.
In 2017, Park Chanyeol and Punch won the Asian OST Popularity Award in the Asia Model Festival Awards for this song. On January 20, 2018, this song won the Best Korean Single of the Year on the 13th KKBOX Billboard.
A brief introduction to the two singers
Chanyeol
Park Chanyeol is a member of the Korean boy singing group EXO that I shared in my first blog. In the group, he is mainly in charge of rap. In addition to participating in group activities and releasing albums, he also has experience in acting. The song that he participated in this time shows the different side of him as an idol. He broke the inherent image of the rapper in people’s minds.
Punch
Punch, formerly known as Bae Zhenying, is a famous Korean female singer. In January 2014, she sang the song “Because of Pain” and officially debuted as a solo singer. In addition to the song sung this time, she has also participated in the singing of the original soundtrack of other TV dramas many times. This is also one of the reasons this song is acclaimed.
Analysis of this song
“Stay With Me” was co-produced by two composers, Rocoberry and Lee Seungju, which gave people a very dreamy feeling. It is not the first time that these two composers have participated in the production of OST. They both have very famous songs before. This time their cooperation has brought a lot of surprises.
This song uses an electric guitar and piano when it is played. Chanyeol’s low voice and Punch’s beautiful voice with some low emotions give the song a touch of sadness. This effect is very much in line with the plot of the TV series. Their harmonies show loneliness, and the perfect fusion of bass and treble can fully immerse people in the song.
They told a story together, and even if people didn’t understand the language, they were willing to calm down and listen. The chorus is also very attractive. The whole song is like washing people’s hearts.
Originally, adding rap to this type of song was not necessarily a good choice, but the rap part of this song is very harmonious, just like someone is whispering. This part does not break the dreamy feeling of the song at all.
When the song is about to come to an end, it becomes multi-voice music, and the sound of two people alternately makes people feel very clear. At the end of Punch sings “If it was a dream, now I wake up,” but Chanyeol sings “I hope this is not a dream,” which also shows the protagonist’s heart tangled feelings.
