Songs reflect one’s inner state of mind. They are, of course, altered and edited with special audio effects in order to be enhanced and to correct all defects; but have you ever thought of it without all of this? Without all technical editing and the backing music, the song remains as beautiful because the emotions of the song can clearly be heard. And there’s no doubt that it’s shown when you only hear Taeyeon’s vocals in “I Love You” from the Athena OST, i.e. without the MR.
This version of the song really reminded me that love is undefined yet humans interpret it to an extent that goes beyond its true meaning. Love in its pure form is what defines it and without such extra ‘touch ups’ it remains in its best unchanged state, although this is solely my opinion. The song sounds great overall, but in my opinion the song has an extra depth added to it when the MR is removed. Sometimes certain vocal sections get overpowered by the instrumental and effects so do enjoy this ‘pure’ audio clip (although I assume her voice is already slightly edited here):

heyy,
awesome post! 😀
you suree seem to really know your stuff.. if you know what i mean (;
To me, like a star is better than I love you, it speaks to a tone that doesn’t need to overstate it’s notes. Having a talented girl to stay with strong notes without having to “flair” it up with giant belts and harmonies is refreshing. Too many times song writers throw in harmonies and gets the singer to sing the highest notes they can to try and impress people, but this is just as powerful. Though The One did get the higher notes, Taeyeon didn’t need them to show case her own prowess. This song is just beautiful and I really really hope that she gets the chance to sing this live.
agree. both songs are great but i prefer like a star. 😛
LOL at annarh 😉 thanks for ya support ❤
omg! such a beautiful voice…perfect! even with this, her voice touched my heart 🙂 ..no doubt why she’s my favourite from the beginning..wish her all the best of luck and very great opportunity to her in the future as a singer..one of the great ones that is 🙂
ill use this as a lullaby…
can’t argue with what is posted.
kid leaders voice is already awesome… wish to hear an acapella XD…
hmmmm taeyeonah~ fighting…
wahhh! it’s absolutely beautiful! taengoo’s voice is just so angelic and never ceases to amaze. ^_^
ahhh~ i rmb listening to this….. don’t mind listening to it again…. ^_^ totally agree with you, the song really does have an extra “depth” added to it when the MR is removed.. 🙂
definitely there’s some mixing involved, if not what are those ppl in recording industry for? to provide us with such nice voice.. almost near perfect 😀 there’s some reverb and delay added. but the fact is taeyeon’s voice is still lovely! 🙂
Absolutely beautiful. The crystal clarity of Taeyeons voice, coupled with the soft emotion held within every perfect note, brought a tear to my eye. Beautiful! Thank you for posting it!
taeng, i love your voice!
amajjing~ Taengoo you are daebak…special song-special singer ❤
BEAUTIFUL ! Just BEAUTIFUL 😀 😀 😀 !!!! I really have to admit that I REALLY LOVE her voice more and more each time I hear her render a tune; it’s just HEAVENLY 😀 <3333 !!! This proves that music indeed transcends all cultures and language barriers ;).
Listened to it once, I’d be lying if I said I liked it…
Because I love it.
Man, that is, for lack of a more specific word, a terribly romantic presentation of this song. It sounds so lonely like this, without the accompaniment. And the little breaths she takes, too, now being audible have that same sound to it. Whew but it angries up the blood, or mine anyway. A hee hee hee.
As it has been mentioned, I prefer this (especially mr) to Like a Star. I don’t really want to talk about “better” or such right now, or even think about it, but I don’t really react to Like a Star.
But what’s with cutting off the ending like that?
And lastly, isn’t the movie/show this is for, isn’t it like a spy thriller?
I love both song. For ‘I love you’… I like ‘I love you MR removed’ more. Just heard Teayeon sing…powerful, beautiful and nice… Feeling so good and nice and also sad. Really beautiful voice.
Does anyone know how to do this MR thing? Been looking for ways, but can’t seem to be able to find any…Any Koreans able to search this up on some Korean search portals?
she has such a beautiful voice…
her voice is as beautiful as her face ❤ :]
