People often only realize that their best times were long overdue.
The key to unlocking the awakening of memory has always been the voice.
The moment the voice of a loved one suddenly comes to mind, you know that it was ‘heaven’.

Lim Young-woong’s new song, “More Beautiful than Heaven,” is a song that quietly leaves behind such realization.
It’s not flashy, it’s not tall, it’s not urgent.It just speaks quietly.
“Every day, every moment I spent with you was heaven.”

The song begins with a scene from a memory.
“All the dazzling days”
“Like a flower that blooms even in the cold dawn”

As poetic language piles up, the past times come back to life one by one.
The light, temperature, air, and breath of that time.I sing of memories, but at some point, those memories become clearer than reality.

In the music clip, Lim Young-woong sits in front of the microphone as if looking into an old dream.His eyes are warm and his voice is moist.
The song does not begin where love ends, but where love once was.

“All the beautiful days”
“Please don’t forget me in this season of soul”

The lyrics are repeated, and the melody flows quietly.However, as the repetition goes on, the emotions build up slightly differently.At first, it feels like reminiscence, then regret, and finally gratitude.

The sentiment of this song about the time spent with that person fits perfectly with the JTBC drama ‘More Beautiful than Heaven’.The moment of reunion after passing through death, the deep resonance of that brief encounter.
Lim Young-woong said in an interview, “I wanted to convey the drama’s lingering feelings and emotions more deeply through music.”

As he said, this song was born as a song more dramatic than a drama.
Because it’s Lim Young-woong.
One line of the day
All the moments I loved
It was a place more beautiful than heaven.
