His "Why am I alone?" part hit so hard. I always remember what Young K said about singing this live because when he sings this part, all the fans sing/shout this part "Why am I alone?" in one loud voice all together and that just creates this oxymoron/opposite because you're shouting that you're alone in a sea of people.
If I recall correctly, YoungK said that the little marching/whistling section in I Need Somebody was supposed to be a representation of the darker emotions associated with loneliness (depression/anxiety/desperation/etc.) introducing themselves to the protagonist. So like, the first part of the song is a little softer and gentler and predictable (walking through life carrying the weight of loneliness), but then suddenly we see the protagonist being confronted with those darker and more extreme emotions. The march is like... we see this darkness coming for the protagonist, steadily and almost nonchalantly, before washing over and consuming the protagonist (the second chorus). Just when you think you're surviving, WHAM. One night, you just can't take it anymore. I'm paraphrasing here, but yeah XD
YoungK is a real gem. This guy can do wonders with his voice - one time he sounds delicate, then he sounds strong and raspy. He can sing high and low notes. He's a genius when it comes to harmonizing and he can rap. And he's a great songwriter and composer. He can do it all.
I think All Alone is that quiet loneliness beneath the cheerful front and I Need Somebody is the internal screaming that's actually even further beaneth the coping mechanisms
I see James' point at the end, about All Alone being more relatable, but I completely disagree. For me I Need Somebody always felt like it was talking from my very soul. Like it's an inner voice that just wants to scream out "Why am I alone". Especially Young K's first line of the first chorus, hearing the desperation into this emptiness they created just resonates with me. So I'd say, while All Alone is the sadness, and what other people expect it to be, I Need Somebody is closer to the reality. Great reaction as always, loved to hear the various impressions :)
This is so real especially for those who have been through depression and stress. Probably also other things but personally, I can only speak for those two. "I Need Somebody" is such an important song to me and every time I see them sing it live, I die a little bit inside of happiness and sadness. It just speaks to me on such a personal level. It doesn't matter if you have people around you. Sometimes you just feel so alone and like nobody gets you. I need someone who gets me and can get me out of this black hole, but it's not that easy. It's a art piece and my favourite song of all time.
Personally, All Alone has always been closer to my heart, even though I prefer I Need Somebody from a musical standpoint. The way I experience loneliness is calm, very much like All Alone; there's no voice in my head screaming for somebody, there's no rage, only this soft question of "wouldn't all of it feel better if I wasn't alone?". It's serene, it's melancholic and it's every bit the way I feel on most of my days.This just goes to show just how complex Day6 are as artists because they manage to speak through their music about a feeling everyone experiences, but in different ways and still make the listener feel understood. Day6 really makes music for every soul in the world:))
I agree with you. In my opinion, this "Why am I alone" give me the feeling from crying alone in your room. And when you are so frustated from the lonelyness and sadness in your life. "I Need Somebody" resonates to me more than "All Alone" too.
AHH thank you for complimenting my baby bean Dowoon at 10:57! He doesn't get a lot of recognition sometimes and he's my bias so it made me feel nice to hear you compliment him!
15:50 i understand his point, but I need somebody sounds so relatable to me. Like, I dont want to be loud about my loneness, wont show my true feelings, but that's what i would like to do and what i feel inside, so to me this song kind express things that's it's difficult to say and in a certain way helps me to relieve what I am feeling
to this day, i need somebody is one of the greatest songs in the history of kpop and i will physically fight on it 😔 love to see my boys day6 hyped so much ❤️❤️❤️
I still remember that I went to their concert because a friend of mine didn't have someone to go with, and to be honest, I fell in love with them. As a band they're awesome, Dowoon is a great drummer, actually all of them really captivate you. Now I'm waiting to go to their concert as a fan and enjoy twice as much as I did before.
I always hear other people complimenting sungjin’s raspy voice as the voice that fits into any rock/ballad songs. But when she said his voice sounds like violin i was like wow that’s a new interpretation and i ain’t complaining😚
I think both are relatable. And All Alone is lovely of course. But I definitely felt more from I Need Somebody. I cried hearing it the first time before we even had lyric translations. I think that kind of loneliness can cause a kind of angry or frustrated grief/sadness in private. So I think it’s definitely relatable to a lot of people. It immediately became my favorite song from DAY6. It was amazing to hear it live in concert😭
shifa amjad I’ve gone every single time they’ve toured in North America. Their concerts are so good so if you ever get the opportunity, you definitely should go. It’s just a whole different experience.
"He sounds like a violin" When she said that i came to a realization 👁️ and i now understand why i am so in love with sungjins voice, for so long i kinda questioned why i loved his voice so much in every song day6 has put out (counting their covers, LISTEN TO STOP AND STARE). But growing up and even now i love and play the violin because the sound is just so beautiful and addicting to me..... and like I GET IT NOW🤡
i listened to ‘i need somebody’ at night and it was completely silent. it hit so hard like that, and to this day it remains one of my favourite day6 songs. it hit somewhere that very few managed to. i need somebody, still, makes me cry, because the song expresses everything i want to say but can’t. all alone is also one of my favourite day6 songs, but for different reasons - it talks about loneliness, yes, but in a more ‘quiet’ manner, and possibly due to the more breather, tender quality of the vocals, the acoustic guitar, glockenspiel… it makes me feel less lonely, if that makes sense. it’s almost more comforting, as if… i’m not alone in my loneliness. in conclusion, young k is a genius, and i cannot thank him enough.
I need somebody literally, and I’m not even joking, destroys me. The lyrics, the feeling, the angst. Is such a good masterpiece and probably their best song without a doubt. Seeing them appreciate it just makes me feel proud somehow. They’re days when this song is on loop 14 hours because damn, some days you feel like that. Thank you for this video, good job guys. ♥️
16:00 that's EXACTLY why I resonate with this song. I push aside my own feelings of loneliness and disassociate for the sake of being that strong shoulder that my friends can lean on. And every once in a while, when I'm alone in my room, a wave of sadness that I keep suppressed would leak out. "Why am I alone?!" is a refrain that expresses how I feel in those moments. Keeping the sadness underneath, but having waves of it spilling out, and the necessity of "whistling Dixie" (being indifferent and going with the flow).
I think "I need Somebody" is a good way to reach out to the people who feels lonely but even if they have people around them they can't just say "hey I feel so empty all the time". it's putting yourself out there and scream "why am I alone?" show your vulnerability and everything you've been hiding because it's hard to accept it sometimes. personally as someone who felt alone for their entire life I can say that this song broke while singing it, power of music I guess. thanks for the reaction tho I love them!
Young K's voice is just so soulful and emotional and I love that so much. His voice is piercing and intense and it still feels intimate somehow (for me at least)
I think the reason why I need somebody is so relatable is exactly because you rarely see people being open about their loneliness and putting up a front, so letting it out like that feels really powerful. One thing that definitely plays into how I see the songs is the emotions I've experienced. I've never really felt that… romantic longing and loneliness, so to say, but I definitely have felt pure loneliness. Those months of that lonely darkness, I've definitely wanted to cry and scream and let it all out when things would just get too much. I feel the I need somebody displays that really well, wanting to cry out for help while doing your best to just get through the day, and then the next, and then the next. The song is like a reminder and it helps me appreciate what I have now even more.
For me, I still remember when they released the song in the album, I was listening to the whole album in sequence while doing school work and during the first 4 piano chords, I was like oh this is different softer starting and then I got hit with Jae's Hello, anyone out there? Where is (I could understand the korean) and I was like oh my.... and then he goes on and say "Answer me out there anyone" (it really does sound smoother in korean than translated to english) and that’s when I had to pause my work. And then the lines go on and young k's WHY AM I ALONE and the chorus. At that point in time, I was struggling to acknowledge my depression and anxiety and keep the struggle to myself. I also typically dislike talking about my problems so this song was literally an anthem. In the chorus, the way they sang the words in korean and where they put their pauses, ("why am I alone. surrounding me.... within people. why am i alone, left alone... now. I need somebody etc") really made each word hit and then the pause before the second verse kicks in made all those words sink in. And then with the second verse and the build-up, the whistling, and the louder chorus, it just kept hitting me to recognise this loneliness. AND THEN THE BRIDGE, with wonpil saying "oh now I got to do something". Seriously, when the song ended, I just sat there, stunned, feeling slightly attacked and a bit in pain.
The fact that you picked these two songs to react to really brought me back to 2017 when these songs were released. I was going through one of the darkest times of my life, and both these songs were the only ones that really related to me. I remember listening to both these songs, and just bawling and letting out everything I had been keeping in. These songs will always hold a special place in my heart because they really got me through some of my darkest moments
I need somebody is such a raw song. The emotions are so raw and intense it's almost difficult to bear. I think it's one of the rare songs that makes me feel so much, so intensely. They really captured the emotions they wanted to convey.
All Alone is the song I listen to through my headphones while on the bus, it’s raining, I’m looking out the window, and it’s almost comforting in a way. While I listen to All Alone, I’m not alone in how I feel. I Need Somebody is the song I listen to while I’m alone in my bedroom, because I need something to trigger emotions I’ve pushed deep, deep down so I can cry it out by myself and deal with what I’m feeling or what the issues are. To compare the two, though while interesting, would be futile to me when I love both so much for many similar and different reasons. Thank you for sharing this as I’ve been able to enjoy these songs again through different perspectives.
i was way too fast, the video was still on private. Went panic for a sec right there Ummu! I love listening to them analyzing (?) I Need Somebody. I love the whistle tho hehe thank you so much Ummu, ReactToTheK reactors & team u,u
i need somebody is a work of art. imagine hearing it LIVE, it's the most beautiful experience ever. it makes u so sad and hurt at the same time u kinda just cry
I NEED SOMEBODY IS MY FAV SONG EVER SINCE THEY RELEASE UNTIL NOW . i dont know why but just it . this song hit me hard . everything was well played , well aranged , well voice . and i've been waiting since then , when you gonna react to this song , and FINALLY THE DAY JUST COME . this song was one of the reason when i said to my self that "i should listen this live" , then i come to their concert . and say to my self "this is one of the best concert that i have seen , and i should watch again for their next concert" . in the end , thank you for reacting to day6 !!!

The guy in black shirt with white and neon green had really good comments at the end, I enjoyed all of them actually, hearing people appreciate and explain in their perspective Day6's music is so cool, thank You :)
I need somebody is my favorite song of DAY6, the lyrics speak to me in so many different levels 😭❤❤❤ and also the drums sound so good in the song! I love it, I just love the whole song tbh.
I Need Somebody was my first DAY6 song that I ever heard. It found its way to me through Soundcloud at a time when I was really depressed. It helped me let my emotions out and just cry and feel proper emotion, rather than just numb and tears. I always felt really lonely, no matter how many people were around me and trying to make me laugh. I felt like the song understood how I felt, when no one else did. Because of that, this song holds a special place in my heart. It got me through a pretty hard time with my mental health, and it still does to this day. I'm doing better, but it still calms me down and helps me focus on what I'm feeling. It calms me down and lets me know that I'm not alone, that other people feel like that too, and it's perfectly all right. It doesn't make me weak to feel like that. It's human. I just have to keep fighting and shouting. It just lets me cry. In fact, I'm actually tearing up writing this right now, so that's great. For the whistling part, it sort of feels like a brief reprieve from the feeling of loneliness, if only just for a moment. Then, it sneaks up on you and hits you just as hard as before, sometimes even stronger. It gives you a second to breathe and feel hope, just to crush you and drown you in sorrow all over again. Rinse and repeat. The drum part, where you felt it was out of place, fits right in for me. Imagine the drums represent the strength and force of the loneliness. When it sounds like he is crying for help, and he's slowly getting quieter, the drums are drowning out his cries for help, keeping him from getting help. Eventually, he gives up and stops trying. The lyrics after that, I need somebody now, I feel, are pretty self-explanatory. You need someone to help you. You are trying to get that across with all of your might. But the loneliness and depression drown out any cries that you produce. Then, you just stop fighting because it feels useless, like you'll never be loud enough.
Sometimes I forget that All Lone was the song that made me notice Day6. At that time I was just starting to venture into over kpop groups and I found these beautiful boys. But it was their voices and just the tone of the song that caught me by surprise. Without knowing the words of the song I just felt that it spoke to me. That came from that at that point in my life I was just going through the story the song. I felt lonely because I had to let go of the person I loved because they had chosen someone else. And I really wanted someone to hold me but I found comfort in music instead of the sky. As for when I first heard I Need Somebody. I remember my eyes filling with tears. Just this overwhelming want to just sob. This strange feeling of just wanting to scream out because I felt so broken. This song hit hard because I was still hung up on letting go and the beginning of the 3 full years of a major depression that was about to enter my life. Music was and is my biggest comfort in that time and now. I'm happy I found Day6 in that time and all the other groups after them.
This is really interesting because to me i need somebody holds so much emotion and makes me cry before i even notice it, whereas all alone is something i listen to while walking, it's something i reflect on memories and past emotions too, if that makes sense? But i found it interesting to hear different interpretations of them
Yeah, listening and singing along to I Need Somebody is something I often do to release stress... if I feel a little off, listening to that song (and a couple of others) really help.
Honestly, I feel the whistling and snare drum (which sounds like marching) part gave me the imagery of someone going up to the rooftop to get that perfect position/moment wherein they can shout their feelings out, "Why am I alone???!" because you know, it's more cathartic if you that thing from alone in a very high position where you could see the everything and then ask that specific question to the sky. It's kind of like blaming or begging, you know? Why does he need to be alone? Why can't he be with someone?
This is a really late comment but in YoungK and Chan's vlive (Chan's room ep. 75), Brian (YoungK) explained that what he pictured when writing I need somebody was that he was in a really busy area, with a lot of people bustling around and no one really paying attention to the protagonist. The protagonist who struggled with the loneliness in a giant crowd of busy people would then scream "Why am I alone?" (in the second chorus) to grab attention. It was a plea and cry for people to notice the protagonist when all the pent up frustrations and loneliness finally get the best of them. imo, the whistling part symbolizes a trigger. Because on some days, when we feel really tired and overwhelmed, something as quiet or nonchalant as whistling can trigger us to explode from our emotions because of our sensitivity or because of sensory overload, leading to the protagonist (in this case, Brian) to explode and scream "Why am I alone?". I thought it was so well placed that when I first heard this song in 2017 I literally just burst into tears because I didn't realize how much pent up emotions I had in me at this point either, bravo to Brian for being able to turn an electro pop song into a beautiful song like this!
I Need Somebody is one of my go to songs when I'm in a funk. Because of the fact that nobody goes around and just yell that they're alone, this song is the perfect outlet to do just that. It's almost as if the song invites the listener to belt along with them and facilitates an outburst because singing along is really the only time it's acceptable. The driving, "militaristic" nature of the song also helps to kind of break the loop of negativity because it feels like we're headed somewhere and the delay in the last chorus allows for a huge, almost cathartic, release. This song encapsulates what it feels like to be in a donard spiral: lonely, sad, frustrating, confusing, desperate, theatrical/dramatic, etc. I think describing it as a "giant buffet" is perfect because people are capable of feeling so many different things. The whistle part also threw me the first time, but I appreciate the little break in all the heavy emotions which allows for a quick breath before belting out that chorus again.
I feel like I Need Somebody is the type of song that has to do more with the internal conflict of the emotions brought by sadness and loneliness while All Alone is sort of an outer representation of sadness and loneliness that is not fully exposed because the person wants to act like they're okay so they both embody sadness and loneliness in different ways but also in beautiful ways. also, I Need Somebody really hits differently live and I am happy I was able to experience that because I really felt the power this song holds for many MyDays and even the members themselves because most people aren't used to verbally shouting out their loneliness and want for someone to be there for them so I hope Day6 continues to perform this as I think it holds a great power to allow anyone dealing with problems to freely vent out and get some weight lifted off their chest.
i see the whistle bit as a glimmer of hope that keeps you here and then it being ripped away from you by the loneliness and that the whole song i need somebody is whats going on inside your head not what you are saying outloud
youngk really makes why am i alone for me. i mean theres so many killing points to the song, including jaes and sungjins rasp, but man youngk really pulls the song together and then makes it explode

"everyone in this band is beautiful"

yAss
Yeah
This just in: Youngk is the powerhouse of the cell.
Dika Shafira Hidayat the mitochondria is shaking
The mitochondria of Day6 hahahah 😂
MitochondriYoungK
mitochondria found jobless
And SungJin is the ribosomes. He builds stuff. Like Bob the builder
"his voice sounds like a violin" what a beautiful way to describe our precious sungjin voice aw
"I need somebody" changed me as a person like Young K's "Why am I alone?" ripped the soul out of my body and he never gave it back
Laura is a Fangirl that’s a mood
this part kills me everytime😭 the power in his voice is just unbelievable😭 and the short acoustic version kills me even more
I felt that
Why do I relate to this so much!
His "Why am I alone?" part hit so hard. I always remember what Young K said about singing this live because when he sings this part, all the fans sing/shout this part "Why am I alone?" in one loud voice all together and that just creates this oxymoron/opposite because you're shouting that you're alone in a sea of people.
"I need somebody" it's just ART
YES!
PREACH
One of my favorite songs out of all kpop, that and I Remember
Exacto

Just when you think you're surviving, WHAM. One night, you just can't take it anymore.

Wow. Thanks for this explanation! Gosh gonna love day6 for their efforts
I needed to add another layer to my pain, thank you

@@Katherine-dt9te Welcome ^^
Okay, but like, should i feel worried for Young K's sanity? How come he knows these stuffs.
DOWOON GETTING HIS RECOGNITION AS A DRUMMER, MOM HOLD ME I’M CRYING. BABY TT♥️
he is indeed a very good drummer and he's improving everyday. I'm amazed
He is drum
No im not crying huaaa T•T
"Who's the drummer?"
"Dowoon"
"Mmhh.. He's a good drummer 😊"
That made me sooo happy I don't even know why 😭😂
Zoouu TiXXSHIeR his singing parts on some their songs is fav parts...lol
Because Korea sleeps on talent and he finally got the recognition he deserved 🥺😭
"Instead of waking up from sleeping, I was waking up from sleeping on my emotions" honestly a real mood for all Day6 songs
YoungK is a real gem. This guy can do wonders with his voice - one time he sounds delicate, then he sounds strong and raspy. He can sing high and low notes. He's a genius when it comes to harmonizing and he can rap. And he's a great songwriter and composer. He can do it all.
DON'T FORGET THE HUMAN TRUMPET
I think All Alone is that quiet loneliness beneath the cheerful front and I Need Somebody is the internal screaming that's actually even further beaneth the coping mechanisms
I love how hyped they're for Day6, they're truly intellectuals.
All alone is external presentation
I need somebody is the internal recoil
ooooh thats a perfect explanation and link between the two.
Damn son
👍
Wow Kevin with that symbolism of a snare on I NEED SOMEBODY to a protagonist marching along to or pretending to be happy. Wow. Just wow.
Yeah just wow
YALL KNOW I MF SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS NOTIFICATION!! 'I NEED SOMEBODY' SUPREMACISTS ARE THRIVING
wonblush YES
I....accidentally pressed publish........Hdjsjdjdisjdisdjks
Wait. Is this supposed to be secret yet? 😂😂😂
Well I am happy you published it!!!
Well this was a very happy accident
nani
We don’t make mistakes, only happy accidents. And this is the happiest accident you could’ve ever made
can we please talk about everyone's faces in All Alone that song made everyone so at peace
I see James' point at the end, about All Alone being more relatable, but I completely disagree. For me I Need Somebody always felt like it was talking from my very soul. Like it's an inner voice that just wants to scream out "Why am I alone". Especially Young K's first line of the first chorus, hearing the desperation into this emptiness they created just resonates with me.
So I'd say, while All Alone is the sadness, and what other people expect it to be, I Need Somebody is closer to the reality.
Great reaction as always, loved to hear the various impressions :)

I agree with you. In my opinion, this "Why am I alone" give me the feeling from crying alone in your room. And when you are so frustated from the lonelyness and sadness in your life.
"I Need Somebody" resonates to me more than "All Alone" too.
"I NEED SOMEBODY" REACTION FINALLY YES. WE'VE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR 2 YEARS

4:32 OHMYGOD WHEN SHE SAID SUNGJIN’S VOICE SOUNDS LIKE A VIOLIN, ISTG I THOUGHT THE SAME WHEN I FIRST HEARD THEM. AND I’M A VIOLINIST MYSELF AAAAAAA
screaming out this song in a concert and singing "why am i alone" with everyone else singing it to is such a cathartic experience
AHH thank you for complimenting my baby bean Dowoon at 10:57! He doesn't get a lot of recognition sometimes and he's my bias so it made me feel nice to hear you compliment him!

Everyone: the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Reactors: YoungK is the powerhouse of Day6
"I think they understand who blends well and pair them together"
Day6: *plays rock paper scissors to distribute the lines*
10:50 Us MyDay know that Dowoon is a good drummer but to be recognized as such by a professional really touched me. I'm so proud of Dowoon.
I still remember that I went to their concert because a friend of mine didn't have someone to go with, and to be honest, I fell in love with them. As a band they're awesome, Dowoon is a great drummer, actually all of them really captivate you.
Now I'm waiting to go to their concert as a fan and enjoy twice as much as I did before.
"wait were there different people singing?"

omg i'd love to go but they haven't come to middle east yet and idk if they will in the future ;-;
"He sounds like a violin" When she said that i came to a realization 👁️ and i now understand why i am so in love with sungjins voice, for so long i kinda questioned why i loved his voice so much in every song day6 has put out (counting their covers, LISTEN TO STOP AND STARE).

i listened to ‘i need somebody’ at night and it was completely silent. it hit so hard like that, and to this day it remains one of my favourite day6 songs. it hit somewhere that very few managed to. i need somebody, still, makes me cry, because the song expresses everything i want to say but can’t.
all alone is also one of my favourite day6 songs, but for different reasons - it talks about loneliness, yes, but in a more ‘quiet’ manner, and possibly due to the more breather, tender quality of the vocals, the acoustic guitar, glockenspiel… it makes me feel less lonely, if that makes sense. it’s almost more comforting, as if… i’m not alone in my loneliness.
in conclusion, young k is a genius, and i cannot thank him enough.
I Need Somebody is Masterpiece
Exaaaaactly that's what just I'm about to say
*"which of them plays drums? he's a good drummer"*
*yes, he is!*
I need somebody literally, and I’m not even joking, destroys me. The lyrics, the feeling, the angst. Is such a good masterpiece and probably their best song without a doubt.

I Need Somebody... an underrated masterpiece
“His voice sounds like a violin.”
Me who notoriously loves the violin: Ohhhh~ that’s why I like it so much! It makes so much sense
16:00 that's EXACTLY why I resonate with this song. I push aside my own feelings of loneliness and disassociate for the sake of being that strong shoulder that my friends can lean on. And every once in a while, when I'm alone in my room, a wave of sadness that I keep suppressed would leak out. "Why am I alone?!" is a refrain that expresses how I feel in those moments. Keeping the sadness underneath, but having waves of it spilling out, and the necessity of "whistling Dixie" (being indifferent and going with the flow).
I think "I need Somebody" is a good way to reach out to the people who feels lonely but even if they have people around them they can't just say "hey I feel so empty all the time". it's putting yourself out there and scream "why am I alone?" show your vulnerability and everything you've been hiding because it's hard to accept it sometimes. personally as someone who felt alone for their entire life I can say that this song broke while singing it, power of music I guess. thanks for the reaction tho I love them!
it's finally here, after one year of waiting ✊
ikr!!
FINALLY! 😭 WHERE ARE ALL MY "I NEED SOMEBODY" PPL AT? 😭❤️
16:43 "Wait, were there different people singing?" I SNORTED
I’ve been waiting for an I Need Somebody reaction for so long and it was totally worth the wait haha
“Sungjin’s voice is like an alarm clock, but instead of waking you up from sleeping, it wakse you up from sleeping on your emotions” oUCH
The first time I heard I Need Somebody I got chills all over my body and my head just goes blank it was that good
Young K's voice is just so soulful and emotional and I love that so much. His voice is piercing and intense and it still feels intimate somehow (for me at least)
9:53 "I'm sorry you're alone"
“I Need Somebody” Is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time
I think the reason why I need somebody is so relatable is exactly because you rarely see people being open about their loneliness and putting up a front, so letting it out like that feels really powerful. One thing that definitely plays into how I see the songs is the emotions I've experienced. I've never really felt that… romantic longing and loneliness, so to say, but I definitely have felt pure loneliness. Those months of that lonely darkness, I've definitely wanted to cry and scream and let it all out when things would just get too much. I feel the I need somebody displays that really well, wanting to cry out for help while doing your best to just get through the day, and then the next, and then the next. The song is like a reminder and it helps me appreciate what I have now even more.
For me, I still remember when they released the song in the album, I was listening to the whole album in sequence while doing school work and during the first 4 piano chords, I was like oh this is different softer starting and then I got hit with Jae's Hello, anyone out there? Where is (I could understand the korean) and I was like oh my.... and then he goes on and say "Answer me out there anyone" (it really does sound smoother in korean than translated to english) and that’s when I had to pause my work. And then the lines go on and young k's WHY AM I ALONE and the chorus. At that point in time, I was struggling to acknowledge my depression and anxiety and keep the struggle to myself. I also typically dislike talking about my problems so this song was literally an anthem. In the chorus, the way they sang the words in korean and where they put their pauses, ("why am I alone. surrounding me.... within people. why am i alone, left alone... now. I need somebody etc") really made each word hit and then the pause before the second verse kicks in made all those words sink in. And then with the second verse and the build-up, the whistling, and the louder chorus, it just kept hitting me to recognise this loneliness. AND THEN THE BRIDGE, with wonpil saying "oh now I got to do something". Seriously, when the song ended, I just sat there, stunned, feeling slightly attacked and a bit in pain.
People being shook by YoungK's vocals is my aesthetic. Still waiting on Umu to drop the YoungK's vocals video lol.
All alone makes me feel content in being sad and alone whereas I need somebody make me aggressively need to hug someone and cry into their chest.
Dowoon being appreciated? Hell yeah, I'm in for that.
The fact that you picked these two songs to react to really brought me back to 2017 when these songs were released. I was going through one of the darkest times of my life, and both these songs were the only ones that really related to me. I remember listening to both these songs, and just bawling and letting out everything I had been keeping in. These songs will always hold a special place in my heart because they really got me through some of my darkest moments
For some reason, these songs give me goosebumps...always. And I've listened to these hundreds of times already.
"instead of waking up from sleeping, I was waking up from sleeping on my emotions"
This is so me
I need somebody is such a raw song. The emotions are so raw and intense it's almost difficult to bear.
I think it's one of the rare songs that makes me feel so much, so intensely. They really captured the emotions they wanted to convey.

이 분 말씀 진짜 잘하신다
"같이 노래했을 때 잘 어울리는 짝이 누군지 잘 파악해서 각자의 강점에 맞춰서 배분했다."
데이식스 이래서 안 좋아할 수가 없다니까
i need somebody is day6's best song and one of the best songs in general periodddd
I NEED SOMEBODY IS A BOP. PREIODT.
whenever any of the reactors went 'Young K' I was just like 'YES!!!!' without even knowing what they are gonna say lmao
ever since your channel introduced me to the masterpiece that i need somebody is my life has never been the same
All Alone is the song I listen to through my headphones while on the bus, it’s raining, I’m looking out the window, and it’s almost comforting in a way. While I listen to All Alone, I’m not alone in how I feel.
I Need Somebody is the song I listen to while I’m alone in my bedroom, because I need something to trigger emotions I’ve pushed deep, deep down so I can cry it out by myself and deal with what I’m feeling or what the issues are.
To compare the two, though while interesting, would be futile to me when I love both so much for many similar and different reasons. Thank you for sharing this as I’ve been able to enjoy these songs again through different perspectives.
i was way too fast, the video was still on private. Went panic for a sec right there Ummu! I love listening to them analyzing (?) I Need Somebody. I love the whistle tho hehe thank you so much Ummu, ReactToTheK reactors & team u,u
i need somebody is a work of art. imagine hearing it LIVE, it's the most beautiful experience ever. it makes u so sad and hurt at the same time u kinda just cry
데이식스 노래 들을 땐 그냥 아무 생각없이 좋다.. 하면서 들었는데 진짜 음악을 아는 사람들의 반응을 보니 데이식스가 정말 멋진 노래를 작사작곡한거구나 새삼 느낌
맞아요맞아요👍🏻

underrated comment
The guy in black shirt with white and neon green had really good comments at the end, I enjoyed all of them actually, hearing people appreciate and explain in their perspective Day6's music is so cool, thank You :)
Im so glad you guys reacted to I Need Somebody 😭😭 One of my favs
I need somebody is my favorite song of DAY6, the lyrics speak to me in so many different levels 😭❤❤❤ and also the drums sound so good in the song! I love it, I just love the whole song tbh.
Yesss our maknae getting his recognition on the drums. They are just as good live with i need somebody it’s incredible.
I Need Somebody was my first DAY6 song that I ever heard. It found its way to me through Soundcloud at a time when I was really depressed. It helped me let my emotions out and just cry and feel proper emotion, rather than just numb and tears. I always felt really lonely, no matter how many people were around me and trying to make me laugh. I felt like the song understood how I felt, when no one else did. Because of that, this song holds a special place in my heart. It got me through a pretty hard time with my mental health, and it still does to this day. I'm doing better, but it still calms me down and helps me focus on what I'm feeling. It calms me down and lets me know that I'm not alone, that other people feel like that too, and it's perfectly all right. It doesn't make me weak to feel like that. It's human. I just have to keep fighting and shouting. It just lets me cry. In fact, I'm actually tearing up writing this right now, so that's great. For the whistling part, it sort of feels like a brief reprieve from the feeling of loneliness, if only just for a moment. Then, it sneaks up on you and hits you just as hard as before, sometimes even stronger. It gives you a second to breathe and feel hope, just to crush you and drown you in sorrow all over again. Rinse and repeat. The drum part, where you felt it was out of place, fits right in for me. Imagine the drums represent the strength and force of the loneliness. When it sounds like he is crying for help, and he's slowly getting quieter, the drums are drowning out his cries for help, keeping him from getting help. Eventually, he gives up and stops trying. The lyrics after that, I need somebody now, I feel, are pretty self-explanatory. You need someone to help you. You are trying to get that across with all of your might. But the loneliness and depression drown out any cries that you produce. Then, you just stop fighting because it feels useless, like you'll never be loud enough.
Wow I spent forever typing that and no one even liked it *scoff *
Sometimes I forget that All Lone was the song that made me notice Day6. At that time I was just starting to venture into over kpop groups and I found these beautiful boys.
But it was their voices and just the tone of the song that caught me by surprise. Without knowing the words of the song I just felt that it spoke to me. That came from that at that point in my life I was just going through the story the song. I felt lonely because I had to let go of the person I loved because they had chosen someone else. And I really wanted someone to hold me but I found comfort in music instead of the sky.
As for when I first heard I Need Somebody. I remember my eyes filling with tears. Just this overwhelming want to just sob. This strange feeling of just wanting to scream out because I felt so broken. This song hit hard because I was still hung up on letting go and the beginning of the 3 full years of a major depression that was about to enter my life.
Music was and is my biggest comfort in that time and now. I'm happy I found Day6 in that time and all the other groups after them.
This is really interesting because to me i need somebody holds so much emotion and makes me cry before i even notice it, whereas all alone is something i listen to while walking, it's something i reflect on memories and past emotions too, if that makes sense? But i found it interesting to hear different interpretations of them
I need somebody will always be my fave day6 song
Yeah, listening and singing along to I Need Somebody is something I often do to release stress... if I feel a little off, listening to that song (and a couple of others) really help.
I’m gonna cry. This is the appreciation they deserve
tbh I always nervous for Isaac reaction cause when listening he tends to be quiet 😅
Yeah, that’s just his style xD
Honestly, I feel the whistling and snare drum (which sounds like marching) part gave me the imagery of someone going up to the rooftop to get that perfect position/moment wherein they can shout their feelings out, "Why am I alone???!" because you know, it's more cathartic if you that thing from alone in a very high position where you could see the everything and then ask that specific question to the sky. It's kind of like blaming or begging, you know? Why does he need to be alone? Why can't he be with someone?
"Happy music with a sad lyrics"
An exact words to describe DAY6!
"I need somebody" - my favourite song
"It's like, d-d-d-dd-d oh sh!t I'm alone." 😂😂😂 Why is this so funny to me?
10:57 I felt so proud when he said Dowoon is such a good drummer
This is a really late comment but in YoungK and Chan's vlive (Chan's room ep. 75), Brian (YoungK) explained that what he pictured when writing I need somebody was that he was in a really busy area, with a lot of people bustling around and no one really paying attention to the protagonist. The protagonist who struggled with the loneliness in a giant crowd of busy people would then scream "Why am I alone?" (in the second chorus) to grab attention. It was a plea and cry for people to notice the protagonist when all the pent up frustrations and loneliness finally get the best of them.
imo, the whistling part symbolizes a trigger. Because on some days, when we feel really tired and overwhelmed, something as quiet or nonchalant as whistling can trigger us to explode from our emotions because of our sensitivity or because of sensory overload, leading to the protagonist (in this case, Brian) to explode and scream "Why am I alone?". I thought it was so well placed that when I first heard this song in 2017 I literally just burst into tears because I didn't realize how much pent up emotions I had in me at this point either, bravo to Brian for being able to turn an electro pop song into a beautiful song like this!
I Need Somebody is one of my go to songs when I'm in a funk. Because of the fact that nobody goes around and just yell that they're alone, this song is the perfect outlet to do just that. It's almost as if the song invites the listener to belt along with them and facilitates an outburst because singing along is really the only time it's acceptable. The driving, "militaristic" nature of the song also helps to kind of break the loop of negativity because it feels like we're headed somewhere and the delay in the last chorus allows for a huge, almost cathartic, release.
This song encapsulates what it feels like to be in a donard spiral: lonely, sad, frustrating, confusing, desperate, theatrical/dramatic, etc. I think describing it as a "giant buffet" is perfect because people are capable of feeling so many different things.
The whistle part also threw me the first time, but I appreciate the little break in all the heavy emotions which allows for a quick breath before belting out that chorus again.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG YES THANK YOU FOR THE ACCIDENTAL BUTTON PRESS THANK YOU
I feel like I Need Somebody is the type of song that has to do more with the internal conflict of the emotions brought by sadness and loneliness while All Alone is sort of an outer representation of sadness and loneliness that is not fully exposed because the person wants to act like they're okay so they both embody sadness and loneliness in different ways but also in beautiful ways.
also, I Need Somebody really hits differently live and I am happy I was able to experience that because I really felt the power this song holds for many MyDays and even the members themselves because most people aren't used to verbally shouting out their loneliness and want for someone to be there for them so I hope Day6 continues to perform this as I think it holds a great power to allow anyone dealing with problems to freely vent out and get some weight lifted off their chest.
i see the whistle bit as a glimmer of hope that keeps you here and then it being ripped away from you by the loneliness and that the whole song i need somebody is whats going on inside your head not what you are saying outloud
youngk really makes why am i alone for me. i mean theres so many killing points to the song, including jaes and sungjins rasp, but man youngk really pulls the song together and then makes it explode
