TBT 3 - This time a ballad - If You Are Like Me

This was a winning performance on Immortal Song2 in June 2015. The song name is "If You Are Like Me"

 
Dongha starts while sitting, like he often does for the beginning parts of some songs. His voice is so soft, and soothing, but you can hear some deep sadness. For about 2/3 of the length of the song he continues in very subdued manner, without his usual belting. A few times his voice goes into higher notes, like a little bit of weeping. Even when he stands up, which usually is followed by his very forceful singing, he continues with tenderness and melancholy. Only for the last minute, he gradually increases the volume, as if he couldn't keep it bottled down, and had to shout out his anguish. Nothing more to say, it was a wonderful performance; everybody agreed.
