00:06Hello everyone. We are the cast of My Brilliant Korea. We're going to be playing in this beautiful
00:13theater from Friday and we have a couple of songs that we're going to perform for you today.
00:35This piano is tinny and out of tune. This piano is unpleasant to hear. This piano plays C-sharp, not
00:49C, like me.
00:54This piano is certainly out of place. This piano is worth less than nought. This piano has notes missing, stuck
01:10pedals. It's damn hard to play, like the girl who sings it all day.
01:16So why do I stay?
01:24When I write, when I play, the wrongness goes away. For a time, I'm free. I'm me.
01:43And I feel I've a voice. And a chance. And a choice. I'm the girl I'm meant to be. Not
01:59in the wrong game.
02:08If I speak of the things I've been told, the places I could go. They roll their eyes, they mock
02:14my dreams. They tell me not.
02:16If I speak of the things inside me. The girl I want to be. It's nothing they can see. So
02:23I keep it in me.
02:25But when I write, when I write, when I play, I feel that there's a way.
02:34I feel that there's so much
02:35And all the song plays on, I'm gone. And I'm under the night and my soul goes away. And I'm
02:51cold. I'm the girl I'm meant to be. Not in the wrong game.
03:03And for a moment
03:05I feel I'm flying
03:08Flying, flying
03:15I feel my breath
03:19I don't feel strange
03:21And while I'm playing
03:24I play, I play
03:28I play
03:32I'm trying
03:34I'm trying
03:36I'm trying
03:39I'm trying
03:47To change
03:47To change
03:51I'm trying
03:53With my great heart
03:57Take a chance
04:01To change
04:01I play, I play
04:04I know I want to be
04:07I'll never change
04:13I'll never change
04:20I'll never change
04:38I'll never change
04:38I'll never change
04:39I'll never change
04:39I'll never change
04:39I'll never change
04:39I'll never change
04:39I'll never change
