As the death toll from the ferry accident continues to rise day by day, veteran composer Yoon Il Sang has written a requiem for the victims.
“I dedicate this song to the Sewol victims who have passed away ... I pray that they will be happy in the afterlife,” Yoon Il Sang wrote on his Twitter page on Wednesday after unveiling the elegy on his SoundCloud account.
Take Care, a calm and doleful piano composition, was written, arranged and played by the composer himself.
“It was difficult to work on because I could not stop thinking of the children who must have desperately clung to life until the end. I hope that the song can act as a consoling companion as they leave,” Yoon posted on his SoundCloud page. “I am sorry that I can only do so much,” he said.
Yoon Il-sang is a renowned local composer who has written and produced songs for various singers including Lee Eun-mi, Kim Gun-mo, Kim Bum-su, Lee Seung-chul and Lee Moon-sae.
The requiem is available online through Yoon’s SoundCloud.
