I always seem to find the words I want to say much later than the moment they need to be said, and soโฆ (since itโs an anniversary I guess itโs okay to get sentimental lol) When talk of the 10th anniversary started, I knew that I wanted to do something to say thank you. Of course, the idea of playing their songs was inevitable considering my KZitem channel. Initially, I was going to do โ10 songs for 10 years of Jannabiโ, but after putting out a request to janfans and trying to pick my favourite songs, I couldnโt decide! (Honestly, I think at this point I know how to play at least half of all their albums, plenty of the guitar solos from so many singles, I really wanted to play everythingโฆ) I didnโt want it to be too long, so I tried to choose important songs from the bandโs history and threw in some fan favourites. As long as I was sure I COULD play the songs I chose for the โmemory laneโ medley, I thought it would be a good idea. As I was filming these covers, I felt pressureโฆ Not because I thought the band would see it or anything like that, but because the songs and the band who wrote them mean a lot to me. I wanted to play them as well as I could, out of respect. I'm not the best guitarist in the world, but I hope I did. Jannabi is a band that reminds me of why I fell in love with music in the first place, and why I wanted to write my own songs and be in a band myself. Theyโre a special band that has such a unique and sincere spirit. So much of what they do, what theyโve created and how they did that is incredibly inspiring. The musicianship, the independent stance, the passion behind every performance, and the world theyโve created for the fans and themselves. Theyโve been on such an incredible journey, and story theyโre telling - lyrically, sonically, visually and with every action they make - is truly the stuff of legends. All the qualities of the bands that I grew up loving and aspiring to be seemed to reappear in Jannabi, but they have their own colour entirely. Timing is everything and it was quite a miracle that I found this band when I was losing sight of all those things that put a fire in my heart for music, if anything it burns even more strongly now. So I didnโt know how to adequately say thank you to them, and I still donโt think I doโฆ I also felt pressured because I wasnโt even sure I could do it LOL. Seriously, about halfway through filming the โsetlistโ, I suddenly felt a wave of relief because the endeavour seemed achievable (I think you can see the songs where it happened in the video lol, Iโm a little less stone-faced and move more when I play). And at that time, I suddenly got smacked by the realisation - โWow, I canโt believe Iโm doing thisโฆ I guess I really love this band.โ That feeling comes every now and again. I think we all feel that way about the bands that have profoundly impacted our lives, whether it's at a concert, listening to a song orโฆ covering their entire discography on guitar? lol. What else would possess me to do something like this?! The only reason could be love, reallyโฆ The friends Iโve made because of this band, the kind comments from people and janfans from different corners of the earth who have watched this video and my other covers who are just happy seeing the band they love being loved by other people! We care so deeply about the music we love and the people who make that music! Music is so incredible!! It's really the best thing in the world. I think thatโs why I donโt think Iโll be able to adequately express my gratitude to Jannabi for rekindling the love I had for music that I did as a kid when I heard Blur or Queen for the first time and decided to pick up a guitarโฆ It really felt like that when I found them. I donโt know why Iโm writing this now but itโs just something Iโm thinking about today. I wouldโve written it in the description but I've already written a lotโฆ As long as this comment is, I still donโt think Iโve really said what I want to sayโฆ Anywayโฆ I love Jannabi and Iโm very grateful they exist. I guess thatโs all thatโs left to say. p.s. this is so long my god I'm sorry... also I wouldโve tried to express this in Korean too, but considering I couldnโt even spell ๋ก์ผํธ properly... ์๋ !
