Tablo‘s ”From the Bottom” from his solo album, ”Fever’s End“, expresses the feelings of pain and regret for his family because of everything he was put through over the last couple of years.

Representatives of YG Entertainment stated, “‘From the Bottom’ is a song that Tablo dedicated to his wife, Kang Hye Jung, who stuck by him through all of the controversies he was embroiled in. The song is especially emotional in that it includes the voice of his child calling Tablo ‘father’ for the very first time.

His album itself has been doing exceptionally well on the charts with his title track topping several digital charts on top of the rest of his tracks entering the top 10.

Viewers praised, “I cried while listening to the songs”, “The lyrics break my heart”, and “It was really nice to be able to appreciate the lyrics of the songs I’m listening to”.

English Translation of "From The Bottom (feat. Bumkey)
"Even if all of the tears of the world were to well in my eyes, I hope to shed your tears on behalf of you.

It hurts me to see you smile because of all times, you had to meet me at the lowest point in my life. I have such a guilty conscience. I question to myself whether it’s just half a smile or a smile that’s only half bloomed because you don’t know what the rest of the world is like. You say that it’s okay, but I guess there’s nothing else for you but to be okay. I’m too embarrassed, I don’t want to reach out to you with my small, empty hand, so like a fool, I leave your outstretched hand empty as well.

Earlier or later, when I had better news to tell, couldn’t we have met then? I could have let you rest in a green forest with streaming sunlight, but now my love is walking amidst rain underneath my cloudy sky. Such a pitiful person. This isn’t what my heart meant. I didn’t choose to become your half in hopes that you’d take away half of my misfortunes.

Even if all of the tears of the world were to well in my eyes, I hope to shed your tears on behalf of you.

The sound of your cry breaks my heart because of all times, you had to meet me at the lowest point in my life. Even if I want to console you, I’m too tired, and I can’t even make you laugh because my expression is so dark. I lay you down to rest as you cry yourself to sleep.. My hands stop at your time.

What’s broken isn’t my future but yours, so why… The only thing I think of when I wake is the reality that I haven’t grown one bit while you changed. I’m sorry. I could say this thousands of times over and I’m still sorry. I’m sorry that I’m both this low ceiling in our room as well as your sky. I’m sorry that I’m both your umbrella and the rain.

Goodnight, goodnight.
Goodnight, goodnight.
Goodnight, goodnight.
Good mornin’.

Even if all of the tears of the world were to well in my eyes, I hope to shed your tears on behalf of you.

Baby I’ll try, I’ll become your happiness one day
Try, I’ll become the best some day
Try, They’re only words for now, but girl I’ll try
Baby I’ll try, I’ll give you the world some day
Try, If I can’t, I’ll change the world for you
Try, They’re only words for now, but girl I’ll try
"

don't get me wrong, i love kpop, but Tablo somehow gives all the emotions and the lyrics that are nowadays missing in those new kpop songs. He brings poetry to the industry.

I can't wait for part II !

Tablo is brilliant. Just from hearing track 1 I teared up, every song has done the same to me as well. I love him and am anticipating part two. Definitely buying the CD when it comes out.

tablo is already shutting it down with half the album. it would be a crime for him to not take home any music awards for this album

So does that mean the song includes the voice of Tablo's child for the first time or that the sound bite was the first time Tablo's child called him "Dad"?

From: [identity profile] nomdeplumejam.livejournal.com
I had my intuition or whatever it should be called that that song was for her wife! ;~~; I mean, just from the lyrics alone... and this is actually my fave song next to Airbag! God... can't stop listening to this album! Continue making great music, man! <3

Listening to the song while reading the lyrics along with it, as well as understanding the deeper intention behind it made my cry. Tablo is such a brilliant musician, and his album is a testament to that.

Tablo and EH's songs always touch my soul but it's the endings with one phrase or voice that make me break down. Pieces Of You makes me sob every time. T_T
