Yea Wanja is tiny... I'm guessing he's about 5'6"-5'7"

I'm really digging Blue right now, I think it's my fav on the album.

>by t3note

Sound of rain hitting river

It echoes through packed road

Moonlight covered by clouds

It was just like pure heart

Tangled up in blue.

Seoul night covered in rain

Countless lights spreading

How beautiful they were

I blame it all the more, without reason

Tangled up in blue.

Particular moment that popped in my head

For a time it was everything to me

All that gets forgotten

I get nostalgic, lately

[Guest aguitarthief]

For me, someone who doesn't get to see rain often, 'Blue' is love <3

I keep wondering whether they can actually pull off this Trilogy they're planning. Aren't they kind of used to working on their albums a year long?
And honestly, if I get to hear new Nell albums every 6 months, I might die of overexposure to awesome.

[Guest aguitarthief]

I don't know why it's not here yet.. but Nell won the award for 2012 Music Style Award – Best Rock at Melon Music Awards tonight.
Most legit award right there.

Their performance

[KimJongKookie]

Always nice to see Nell perform on these type awards shows. I still go back and watch their performance from golden disk 08 it was so amazing. Love that they transitioned into Cliff Parade, love that song :x

Me too! That rearrangement/piano version of 기억을 걷는 시간 was really neat, I want more. And adding Cliff Parade was awesome, I'm still waiting/searching for a good fancam or performance vid of their song AS, I really enjoy their "upbeat" songs when it comes to live performance, the boys get really into, it's nice :]

@aguitarthief I bet they have a lot of songs "sort-of-planned out" during their 4 year hiatus, idk it seems they are some-what very inspired this year, which is more awesome for us. The trilogy is really exciting, I'm always excited to add more stuff to my collection and Nell never disappoints.... Already not to me... I blame Wanja's voice.

You mentioned that and I had to go watch the performance again. That Golden Disk '08 performance is something I want on my desktop at all times. =P~

@hb_jackpot It's good they're are inspired. Moar songs for me to listen to.
We all blame Wanja's voice. It's okay lol

Allkpop said:

It appears that Nell will also join the May comeback rush!

Their agency Woollim Entertainment revealed, “Nell’s upcoming songs are filled with the members’ efforts to get closer with the public. You will be able to come across different songs from the ones you’re used to from the old Nell.”

Nell is gearing up for a return with part 2 album of their three-part album series entitled, ‘Gravity‘. The group will also perform at the upcoming Rainbow Festival and Ansan Valley Rock Festival this summer.

With more quality music heading our way from the likes of Nell, May just seems to be getting better with each day!

Allkpop said:

With the summer season approaching, Nell is receiving a flood of love calls from domestic rock festivals, becoming the #1 most requested band!

In response to this, Woollim Entertainment said, “Every rock festival in Korea requested their appearance. They’re trying to attend as many rock festivals as possible to meet with their fans. But realistically, it’s not possible to attend everything, so they feel disappointed about it.”

So far, Nell has confirmed their attendance for the Rainbow Festival and the Insan Valley Rock Festival in June and July, and they’ll be performing their hits like “Time to Walk Memories” and “White Night“.

In addition to practicing for the upcoming events, they’re also busy with preparing for their comeback this month with the second part of their 3 part ‘Gravity’ album series.

NELL released a trailer for their new single "Ocean of Light":

Allkpop said:

Although Nell was previously scheduled to join the May comeback rush, it seems fans will have to wait until this June!

To thank fans for the wait, the band gave them a sneak peek at what's to come with their trailer for their new title track "Ocean of Light". The band interprets the title of the upcoming single literally by playing in an 'ocean of light'.

Woollim Entertainment stated, "In the released video trailer, Nell passionately play their instruments inside the ocean. Although it's a short trailer, the cinematography fits with the dreamy vibe of the music, further drawing interest in their comeback."

Nell is gearing up for a return with part 2 of their three-part album series titled 'Gravity'. The group will also perform at the upcoming 'Rainbow Festival' and 'Ansan Valley Rock Festival' this summer.

-----Nell Leaps to Top with “Ocean of Light”
Rock band Nell has proved the power of their seasoned music by topping Korea’s biggest online music chart with their new release.
“Ocean of Light,” Nell’s title tune to their new six-track record “Escaping Gravity” released yesterday, grabbed first place on MelOn’s singles chart Tuesday as of 10 a.m. KST.
After last night’s many turnovers, including last week’s top-played love song “Short Hair” by Huh Gak and Jung Eunji of A PINK, the new and beautiful sound of the skilled four musicians sat atop Korea’s biggest online streaming service.
“Ocean of Light” was released as the second part of the ‘gravity trilogy,’ starting with their hit December release “Holding onto Gravity” which produced chart-topping tune “White Night.”
Formed of lead vocalist Kim Jong-wan, guitarist Lee Jae-kyong, bassist Lee Jung-hoon and drummer Jung Jae-won, Nell has had a huge following since their debut in 1999 with their rich and sentimental sounds and emotional lyrics.
The modern rock band kicked off their activities in Japan by releasing their fifth studio album “Slip Away” in January, holding a showcase in Harajuku of Tokyo two months later.

English Translation:

I can’t figure out since when and
since where things went wrong
Everything feels faint
like scattering fog

I can’t find anyone who will even
listen to me saying, I’m lonely
Even the reason to endure
is getting farther away

I fall and break everyday
I hold onto my scar which
didn’t even have time to heal
As I run through the darkness endlessly

I can’t figure out since when and
since where things went wrong
Everything feels like a prison
from which I must escape

I out of breath, it’s hard to even
stand up, there’s no place to rest
Even the reason to endure
is getting farther away

I fall and break everyday
I hold onto my scar which
didn’t even have time to heal./ As I run
through the darkness endlessly [x2]

I fall and break everyday
I hold onto my scar which
didn’t even have time to heal
As I run through the darkness endlessly
