The perfect cover.
Perfectly in tune with our current state of mind.
It’s a cruel thing, this gift some people have for unintentionally but precisely hitting the nail on the head.
This ability that some people have to catch you in the act with a tiny phrase when you’re trying to tiptoe away.
Words fail us and we’ll use those of someone else left in a comment on the official channel:
“Thank you for being born, for being you and for being God’s arms when we need an embrace, your beautiful voice surrounds us with warmth.”

We love the progress and efforts made to always please and sing once again in English, almost without an accent this time.
We appreciate the quality and sensitivity of the person who has put together such tender and touching images.
We love the special intention that went into finding such a beautiful melody with such meaningful lyrics, and giving it to us.
We think it would be great to hear more of Kim Hyun Joong’s songs in English, including his own, and that this would make Kim Hyun Joong accessible to a wider spectrum of people who appreciate good music and beautiful voices.
Why does this cover make so many people cry?
Perhaps because it’s the translation into a universal language of all the messages Kim Hyun Joong tries to convey when he often takes the floor to tell us that he loves and is proud of his family, friends and fans.
They say that when we’re happy we appreciate the music, and when we’re sad we understand the lyrics…
Today we’re happy and sad at the same time.

I won’t let go
(Original song by country band: Rascal Flatts)
[Original lyrics]
It’s like a storm
That cuts a path
It breaks your will
That’s how it is
You think you’re lost
But you’re not lost alone
You’re not alone
I’ll be by your side
I’ll help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
If you can’t cope
I’ll dry your eyes
I’ll fight your fight
I’ll hold you tight
And I won’t let you go
My heart aches
To see you cry
I know it’s dark
This part of life
Oh it finds us all
And we’re too small
To stop the rain
Oh but when it rains
I’ll stand by your side
I’ll help you through
When you’ve done all you can
And you still can’t cope
I’ll dry your eyes
I’ll fight your fight
I’ll hold you tight
And I won’t let you fall
Don’t be afraid to fall
I’m here to catch you
I won’t let you fall
You won’t fall
You’re gonna make it
Yes, I know you can make it
Cause I’ll be by your side
I’ll help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
And you can’t face it
And I’ll dry your eyes
I’ll fight your fight
I’ll hold you tight
And I won’t let go
Oh I’ll hold you tight
And I won’t let you go
I won’t let you go
No, I won’t let you go
