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)
Everybody And Their Broken Hearts
Bigbang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You see it in their eyes looking at each other in a secondhand store
Think you found the one we can make this work I guess
We can make a run so much hope
All you gotta do or all I gotta do is spend time on it
I'm on the rack again
Almost healed ironed and smooth
And I will tell you
Baby you're the prettiest one
Why can't you come along?
Well it's all right it's all right
I mean hey look who you're talking to
You really want my opinion
Messing up in love everyone should do
And then we get better at it
Everybody and their broken hearts
All reaching out to you
The sun is peeking thru leaves and branches of nearby trees
Silhouettes play on naked white walls here on Branden Street
Had it not been for the reminder of the distant droning freeways
You would be surprised
If someone tried to tell you girl
La is no paradise
But I'm coming back again
Almost healed ironed and smooth
Because this is where I belong
And I will tell you
Baby you're the prettiest one
Just wish you'd come along
Well it's all right it's all right
I mean hey look who you're talking to
I'll never stop dreaming
Messing up in love everyone should do
And then we get better at it
Everybody and their broken hearts
All reaching out to you
Feed off the sparks from your Al Pacino eyes
Till they burn right thru
Well it's all right it's all right
I mean hey look who you're talking to
I'll never stop dreaming
Messing up in love everyone should do
We might just get better at it
See everybody and their broken hearts
And us wannabe Heartbreakers too
Feed off the sparks from your Al Pacino eyes
Until they burn right thru
The song Everybody And Their Broken Hearts by Bigbang is a ballad that delves into the idea that everyone has a troubled background, which is evident in their eyes, and this is why people mess up in love. The lyrics convey the message that love can be painful, but it is worth fighting for, and everyone should give it a try. The songwriter implies that although it may not always be easy, everyone can get better at it.
The opening lyrics set the tone for the rest of the song, as they discuss the fact that everyone has problems in their past that they have to face. The songwriter emphasizes this point by talking about how one can see it in their eyes when they look at each other in a secondhand store. The following lines express hope that one has finally found "the one" and that their relationship can work if they just spend time on it. The second verse continues this theme of hope but also touches on the idea of healing and feeling like you belong.
The bridge of the song is a pivotal moment in the storytelling. It emphasizes the idea that everyone should mess up in love because it is how we learn and grow. It also describes how broken hearts are reaching out to the person listening to the song, and they should feed off of the sparks in their eyes. The chorus then repeats the idea that everyone has a broken heart and that it's okay because it will make us better at love.
