It was About A Mermaid's Tale After All

        This year, the Korean Boy band named EXO released their comeback album titled "XOXO". One of the songs that were included in it was a song called "Baby Don't Cry". The song caught my attention since the time they used a part of it as an accompaniment for their teaser videos before their debut. I really liked the song even if I know that it was just a portion and still incomplete, I didn't even have any idea of what it was about.

        When EXO's album was released, "Baby Don't Cry" was the first song I listened to. And to my utter surprise, it became much more better than before. I was so curious as to what the song was about so I surfed the Internet till I found what I was looking for. I also found the English lyrics for the song.

        It turns out that the concept of the song came from Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid". Then it all came out to me, that was why the song held such a strong feeling of regret and sorrow. It was like a point of view of the Prince after he realized that the Mermaid was the person he was looking for. But it was too late for him to change his mistakes because the Mermaid already turned into foam. I think that the boys of EXO did a really good job of showing the Prince's feelings using their voices. The strong and powerful voices of each vocalist formed a perfect harmony and did justice to the song that a tear began to fall from my eye after knowing the story behind a mermaid's tale.
