1. Korean hip-hop/pop group
2. Norwegian rock band
1. BIGBANG (빅뱅) is a three-piece Hip-Hop/R&B group from Seoul, South Korea. The group was created by YG Entertainment, through a long audition process which aired on TV as a 10 episode documentary. They made their debut at the YG Family 10th Anniversary Concert on August 19th, 2006.
BIGBANG has been labelled as the Revolutionary Group of Korean Music Wave for their unique urban-originated music and fashion style. The members' involvement in composing and producing their own music, most notably G-Dragon's, has earned them respect and praise from music industry experts.
During their first year, BIGBANG was criticized for being "too short" and "too ugly" for an idol group. Sales from their early hip-hop singles and first studio album BigBang Vol. 1 were disappointing. The group's turning point came with their hit song Lies, which stayed at number one on Korean charts for a record-breaking seven consecutive weeks. Their follow up releases, Hot Issue and Stand Up, furthered their success, spawning hits such as Last Farewell and Haru Haru.
From 2007 to 2008, BIGBANG received many awards, including "Best Male Group", "Song of the Year", "Artist of the Year", and the Grand Award at the Seoul Music Awards.
From 2009 to 2010, BIGBANG expanded their endeavors to Japan, and were voted "the Korean group that Japanese fans wish to see the most". They became the first foreign group awarded to receive the "Best Newcomer" award from the Japan Cable Broadcasting Station and "Best New Artist" at MTV Japan. Amidst their Japanese group promotions, the members branched out to do solo activities. Taeyang, G-Dragon, and Seungri have released solo albums. G-Dragon and T.O.P also collaborated on an album under the sub-unit GD & TOP. Seungri and Daesung have acted in both TV dramas and musicals. T.O.P became a highly acclaimed film / TV drama star. Daesung hosted many of Korea's most popular variety TV shows.
After nearly a two-year hiatus in Korea, BIGBANG reunited in 2011 with their successful album Tonight. However, promotions were cut short when multiple members encountered legal issues. In November 2011, representing the Asia-Pacific region, BIGBANG emerged as the inaugural "Best Worldwide Act" winner at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards. This was the first time in six months where all five members were seen together. In 2012, Big Bang released their 5th Mini Album Alive in Korea and Japan. Later they embarked on their first ever World Tour visiting 25 cities in 16 countries.
Fans of BIGBANG are known as VIPs. Their official light stick is a signature yellow crown, which reflects BIGBANG's title as the Kings.

2. BigBang is a Norwegian rock band led by frontman Øystein Greni. Over several years the band lineup has altered several times while remaining a trio, with Greni remaining the one constant member. Though the band name spelling is inconsistent, it is usually styled as BigBang.
BigBang were formed in 1992 by Øystein Greni, Erik Tresselt and Christer Engen. Throughout the years the band's line-up has changed several times. As of 2007 it consists of Øystein Greni, Olaf Olsen (who joined in 1999) and Lasse Weeden. Øystein Greni is the only person who has always been a member of the band, and he is also commonly seen as the band's front figure, as he writes almost all the songs as well as being the lead vocalist and guitarist. Greni has been in much dispute by some of the former members of the band, saying that he is a musical tyrant with a singular path and anyone who doesn't follow the same road he does, he simply fires.
The band hit it big with the song Girl In Oslo and in this song and most of BigBangs later material the prominent feature is lyrics with directly translated norwegian figures of speech and powerful imagery. A staple of a BigBang song is the catchy guitar and bass riff along with the metaphorically compact lyrics.
Dubbed Norway’s Greatest Live Band, BigBang are known for their thrilling performances and have been a major force in the Norwegian music scene for over a decade. In 2007, the band moved to California to focus on the American market. They toured the country, playing intimate gigs and promoting their American début From Acid to Zen, a compilation of songs from previously released albums.
After their 2013 album The Oslo Bowl, Øystein Greni began to work on a solo project for several years. His album Pop Noir was released on 24 March 2017, with the Norwegian band suggesting on their Facebook page that it featured a collaboration with 'G-Dragon on "You Got IT"!' (probably as a joke).
Members:
Øystein Greni (Guitar, vocals)
Olaf Olsen (Drums, percussion and backing vocals)
Nikolai Eilertsen (Bass, backing vocals)
A Thousand Times Over
Bigbang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before my heart grew this cold
I didn’t know you
And you lived somewhere else
But he’s the one who fell in love
I’m someone else from down below
I get the job done
But you’re my baby, my baby
Still a diamond in the rough
I know you’ll break my heart again
Again and again
Just to know if I love you
But just when I thought I’d let you go
Settling in for the final blow
Look who changed his mind
When he thought about it
Like a pen run out of ink
And a coat that won’t quite fit
We just go on
We don’t think about that
Baby, you’re my baby
Still a diamond in the rough
Can’t you hear your own heart pound
When stand in angels come around
Can’t you see why they love you
So let your hammers ring
And get insight in the things
That we celebrate
Like a book that makes us sweat
Words we catch like fish in nets
Go on, don’t think about it
Baby, you’re my baby
Still a diamond in the rough
I know you’ll break my heart again
And again and again
Just to see if I love you
The opening of the song 'A Thousand Times Over' by Bigbang paints a picture of an early, innocent time in the singer's life. When he was just a little boy, before his heart grew cold, he didn't know the person he will come to love. He acknowledges that he was not the first to fall in love with this person, and that he is just a guy from down below who gets the job done. Despite his lack of grandeur or declaration of love, he can't help but call this person his baby, a diamond in the rough.
The lyrics suggest that the relationship between the two is complicated and uncertain. The singer knows that this person will break his heart again and again, but he loves them all the same. He seems resigned to this fact but uses the trials of their relationship as a litmus test for his love. Although he thought he might have let go, the other person changed their mind, leading to more confusion and complexities. The rest of the song becomes a meditation on love and the journey that sometimes needs to be taken to find it again.
Line by Line Meaning
When I was just a little boy
In my youth, before I grew up and experienced heartbreak
Before my heart grew this cold
Before I became jaded and unemotional
I didn’t know you
I didn't yet have a relationship with you
And you lived somewhere else
You were in another location, not close to me
But he’s the one who fell in love
Someone else fell in love with you, not me
I’m someone else from down below
I am a different person from below, not the one who loves you
I get the job done
I am capable of fulfilling my duties and responsibilities
But you’re my baby, my baby
Despite our history and circumstances, you still hold a special place in my heart
Still a diamond in the rough
You possess great potential despite not yet being fully polished
I know you’ll break my heart again
I expect to experience heartbreak at your hands once more
Again and again
Repeatedly
Just to know if I love you
To test or confirm if my feelings for you are real and strong
But just when I thought I’d let you go
At the point when I considered ending our relationship
Settling in for the final blow
Preparing for the last strike that ends everything
Look who changed his mind
As it turns out, I changed my mind about leaving you
When he thought about it
Upon further reflection and consideration
Like a pen run out of ink
Similar to a writing instrument that has depleted its ink supply
And a coat that won’t quite fit
Also like a piece of clothing that is slightly too small or large
We just go on
We continue living and moving forward
We don’t think about that
We try not to dwell on the past or things that are out of our control
Can’t you hear your own heart pound
Don't you recognize your own emotions and feelings?
When stand in angels come around
In the presence of admirable or heavenly beings
Can’t you see why they love you
Do you understand why others admire and cherish you?
So let your hammers ring
Make a lot of noise and work hard
And get insight in the things
Gain wisdom and understanding from your experiences
That we celebrate
The good things in life that we appreciate and value
Like a book that makes us sweat
Similar to a book that is so engaging and thought-provoking that we become invested and emotional
Words we catch like fish in nets
Language or writing that captures our attention and holds our interest
Go on, don’t think about it
Keep moving forward and don't dwell on the past

@lofblad
virker som om lydfolkene klarte å blande gitar-micen, og greni's mic sammen og legge feil effekt på feil spor.. Herlig å se de to gutta på scenen iallfall.. og se at de er nervøse begge to, hehe...
@WarningDontReadThis
Jeg sluttet å puste da han sa Thomas sitt navn.
@teamjevnaker
anyone got tabs for this?
@kikkamoen

@WarningDontReadThis
Jeg digger t-skjorten hans :D
@orsvend
ALTFOR mye delay på både gitar og Thomas sin vokal! Også morsomt at Greni synger denne mye bedre enn Thomas enda han ikke ser på seg selv som vokalist engang =p
