The song is about her life in her 20's The first part is her early 20's when she hated herself The middle part is when she wants to reconcile with herself, with that "child" which is her The last part is when she finally accept and love herself that even though she may get lost and swept away by the waves of life again, she will know her way back
Even though they're already done with the reaction video, i hope they'll read this. This supports why it feels like a mountain, or theatrical, because it literally was meant to summarize her whole life
Can you tell me the link where she said this? I just wanted to read more and understand her writings more. Always been a fan of her songs but not to a level where I’m interested in learning about her.
When Sam explains that this song feels like hiking to the mountain top, I got goosebumbs. It literally how it felt. This song provide stories, with closure. At some point of the song, it indeed made you feels like you are on top of the mountain looking at a sunrise. after all the hardships and challenges. and you know it was all worth it. Whats more humane for me is that at the end, IU sang about "But still sometimes there will be days that I lose from my life. Even if I get lost again, I know my way back". This line is very empowering in a sense that... its a very normal thing to felt down (going back to back habit) when life hits you hard, but the next time it happened, you know better on how to navigate life.
@Devialet Phantom Gold Owner 사운드 좋은건 당연히 알죠ㅋㅋㅋ 가사보다 음악을 먼저 듣는 편이라 아나바다는 첨 들었을때 가사보다도 음악에 먼저 빠져들어서 좋아하게 된거거든요..ㅋㅋ 듣다보니 가사도 귀에들어온거구요..전 팝송보다 케이팝을 압도적으로 많이 듣는데 그 이유가 가사의 의미와 문장구성에서 나오는 느낌들이 모국어기에 오롯이 전달되기 때문인데요. 제가 아이유의 음악에 빠지게 된 이유도 가사 때문이었습니다. 아이유 곡에서 나오는 유일무이한 감성은 음악도 음악이지만 가사에 담긴 아름다운 문장들과 위로해주는듯한 말들에서 온다고 생각하는 사람이라 이런 댓글을 쓴 겁니다. 가사가 좋다는 댓글에 굳이 가사보단 음악이라고 하셔야 했는지 전 모르겠네요..ㅋㅋㅋ
When I listen to My Sea, it feels like I am ascending to heaven. That's how amazing it is for me. My very top 1 track from the 'Lilac' Album. This is what you call 'Masterpiece'.
I agree with Kevin, but I must say sometimes, due to the context, not only the musical context, cheesy is what the soul needs, what the hearth wants and I love the way IU was so IN YOUR FACE but also so precise with all of that. I loved this song so much with all the tears I dropped while listening xD
@@EBZ-z5n I agree with you, but as we have a particular point in musical appreciation, Kevin also does. His music approach is by theory and by standards that don't define universal understanding what so ever (also ours can't do that). Even so, we can learn by discussing this differ views and complementing each others. As art and a form of communication, music isn't universal, is just and other language that we are always learning how to hear. We borrow each others our ears and our emotions when we discuss and reach others opinions and interpretations of music and that's what is beautiful about reacttothek and Internet in general 💞
IU has this telling a story kind of singing. Full of emotions. It might sound theatrical because it sort of her telling her experiences, her journey, her story as an artist. The loneliness, the ups and downs, the criticism, the self hate, the love and support by her loved ones and how she reached where she is and in the end how she love herself. Shes full of self love now at the end of her 20s. Just gotta love her.. her voice really gets to u.
I don't know why, but this song made me feel like I am a princess in the Disney movie, getting ready on the advanture, standing on the edge of the clip above the ocean. It is a magical song, I love it like no other.
I feel this is why it's important to know and understand the lyrics, context and story behind a piece of art to be able to fully appreciate the wonders that went into it and how good it is. IU mentioned that My Sea is like a combo of Dear Name and Love Poem which summarises her entire life history of how she hated herself as a kid and felt like the younger and older IU were separated but later on, reconciled. That summarises the large variance in how the beginning, middle and ending of the song are so different but blended perfectly. It's like an intro, conflict and conclusion/resolution. That explains the title, the Sea of a Kid and I. They are one, on the same path with the same trauma and experiences but have been separated for too long and was affecting each other. The theatrical part in the middle just showed like a whirlwind of storms that can occurs on the sea for me which is an imagery of her life and it didn't sound close to cheesy at all but extremely powerful and I could relate to it so much. Reconciling with her past self and saying even when the waves drift her away on that journey, she knows her way back sums up one being one with all of her now (the kid)- the reconciliation. IU is one of the reasons I decided to learn Korean and do so seriously, her words and poetic schemes are so wonderfully crafted that embodying it in the original language is heavy enough, then translating sheds a lot of it's essence away and it annoyed me that I couldn't get to appreciate all of the essence of her art. If you notice, this song stops immediately and cuts straight into "Ah Puh" if you listen to the album. It's like, now I've found and reconciled with all of me, I'm going to be happy, and have fun in the next phase of my journey(Which is her 30s), for me realising that detail was comforting for me and for her sake. Thanks for the review, enjoyed it!
This song is a unique way is that IU culminates its story through its youth, when I first listened to it, without handling the language I could feel the message. Achieving that with music is beautiful. Thank you for reacting! 🥺💜
이 노래 듣고 몇번을 울었는지... 노래도 너무너무너무 좋지만 아이유가 가진 특별함은 가사의 감성에서도 나와요ㅠㅠㅠ 한국어로 쓰여있어서 오롯이 이 가사를 느낄수있어서 정말 행복했던 노래... 처음에 바로 '그러나'로 노래가 시작하는것도 나를 울렸어요.. 오랜시간 공유해온 아픔을 너도 나도 이해할 수 있기에 서론없이 시작한다는 공감을 바탕에 둔 느낌.. 그게 아니라면 순간적으로 터져나오는 감정을 바탕으로 일기를 쓴 느낌이랄까요... 문득 그런날 있잖아요 '아니'로 시작되는 일기를 쓰는날ㅋㅋㅋ 그런 감정을 느껴서 왜이리 울컥했는지 몰라요... '아이는 그렇게 오랜시간 겨우 내가 되려고 아팠던 걸까' 이 말도요..... 요즘 내 감정이 이런느낌이라 정말... 겨우 이렇게 되려고 그렇게 아팠던 걸까라는 생각도 들면서, 이어서 들려오는 아이유의 희망 가득한 가사, 단단해진 현재위에서 지금은 흔적으로 남은 아픔이고 그걸 딛고 일어선 자 만이 할 수 있는 노래속에서 그렇게 위안을 받게 되더라고요... 가끔은 삶에게 지는 날들도 있겠지만, 다시 꿋꿋하게 온전히 나로서 살아갈 수 있도록 다짐하게 하는 가사를 써줘서 고마워요. 덕분에 많이 울고 많이 위로 받았어요....
I've actually never seen a pop artist who was so in tune with direction on how her vocal textures affect her own music. This is usually something I see in musical theater or opera. From my understanding, she doesn't have intense training in either so this comes naturally to her. And she's only improved as she got older and has gained better control of her vocal abilities.
At 3:13, when Raffi noticed the instrumentals faded and said "only traces remained", that's literally the lyrics of the song at that specific part! It's just so amazing how the song and lyrics matched so well. 😭
As a musical theatre kid when I heard this song I was like everyone else going “Ooooohhh OHHHH SHIT” also, the absolute STANK face singers make when we hear a song like this. I do so miss singing in big choral settings.
한국인으로서 이노래는 한국어 가사가 정말 묘해서 그 감정이 전달되지못한다는 점이 너무 아쉽습니다ㅜㅜ 멜로디보단 가사자체가천천히 쌓이다가 터져버리는 그부분이 소름돋는데 묘한분위기 그대로 번역해 불렀으면 분명 리액션이 조금 달라졌을거라고 장담할수있어요.. "아이는 그렇게 오랜시간 겨우 내가 되려고 아팠던걸까" 이부분은 진짜 미친듯
What started and shaped korean pop music were the dramatic ballads in first place, ballads are still quite popular in sk and to be honest, most of them have turned into generic, overproduced songs with cliche lyrics and predictable tropes, they don't have the quality of older kballad and I'm so glad that IU is one of the few artists who's doing kballads justice! (Also one of the very few that always uses real strings in her ballads)
@@dumpstacy the audacity, when their idols cry whenever IU performs😂😂. They were so into her performance of dear name that about 2 of them cried. I wonder why these fans always fail to learn from their idols
You're right, kballads are too generic these days that I just stick with listening to older songs and singers. Asides IU, Park Hyo Sin is also one singer that still keeps that quality and does justice everytime. Now I miss him, it's been almost 2 years since his last release
I JUST heard it today, I’m speechless, everything from the arrangement of the song to the message itself is so perfectly blended together, great song. Like one of them said, it just sounded VERY natural, so beautiful.
Hopefully this makes sense for Jason, but for the Korean age thing it's because they start counting your age from when you are conceived so when you are born you are already one year old, unlike international age where you are 0 years old when you are born. And then everyone turns the next age together on new years as a sort of collective, so if you were born dec 31, you are one year old, and then the next day on January 1st, you are 2 years old in Korean age. You don't gain an extra year on your actual birth date, although you do still celebrate it. The way you calculate korean age is you take the current year - birth year + 1 = korean age (Eg: 2021- 1993 + 1 = 29 years old Korean age, regardless of months)
A simpler way I use to remember by Korean age (I live in Korea) is just add 2 to your normal age if you haven't had your birthday yet, add 1 if you have.
[MY SEA TRANSLATION] Yet, even as time passes There are wounds that don't heal Because I cannot love myself fully It is a sorrowful night The face in the mirror feels unfamiliar That I silently close my eyes as per the usual I hastily await the night to move on to tomorrow That child who dreamt of so many wishes Did she (referring to IU s younger self ) suffer for so long Just to become....the person I am today? Day by day that passes I get farther away from her That I don t think we will ever reconcile I don't think it will get better When I was young I dreamt of an everlasting sea Where now only the faintest traces remain My breath filled with excitement The cool wind flowing above I want to freely roam the seas like the waves Just as I slowly open my eyes in spite of my fear There and then , the world comes to me To become a breathtaking gift That self who doubted so many times Can finally give you ( child ) a reply The long lost memories from over the horizon Call for me In that voice I had forgotten For so long I wade against the gushing stream Back towards my sea where the currents start Even if I am swept away and lost , I can be free Never again will I let the darkness take over me Never again will I pretend not to recognize/know myself Even still there may still be times When life's waves sweep me away But from this moment and forth, I will know my way back ctto (credits to the owner) Original link to the referred video: th-cam.com/video/LSkdINo1GXw/w-d-xo.html
What a beautiful translation, it makes lyrics smoother and meaningful as IU’s seamless transition of Chester register and head register. It demonstrates the poetic characters of IU’s lyrics , her vocal ability as well. Appreciated with your reaction and analysis of the structure and details. I will subscribe it.
Excuse me, these are the exact translations that I provided to the Han/Rom/Eng lyrics video of the song two weeks ago. At least cite the source, please, this took more than an hour for me to translate. Original link to the referred video: th-cam.com/video/LSkdINo1GXw/w-d-xo.html
@@ybk9698 I just found this on a comment a few days ago, that's why in the end I typed ctto (credits to the owner) because I don't know who it belongs to.
@@user-uw6lx9hn8g Ah, so that's what it meant... No worries then. I'm glad that my translations are being used -- I felt suddenly provoked when I saw this comment, just because with a quick glance I thought, 'someone copied my comment!!' My apologies. Don't take it down. Let's get it to the top!
I’m being dead honest when I say that all I only ever want in life is to be able to listen to My Sea for the very first time again. God it was so overwhelming, I felt all the bad and good emotions all at once. I felt sadness and peace ABSOLUTELY INSANE WHATEVER I FELT THAT TIME!!!!!!
this is why i enjoy this channel so much. the reactions are so genuine and they appreciate the masterpiece from a professional perspective. love the reactions.
That's why I love IU and Taylor Swift. Their songwriting skills are just out of this world. Like, how do they think of those lyrics? This is like all too well of IU. They address different contexts but how they write the lyrics have the same vibe.
She performed this song (and this whole album) as saying goodbye to her 20s and looking forward to her 30s, but something about the story of this song specifically felt very related to “eight” where that was dedicated to her friends and their sorrow and struggles but this was about her own continuation through life and through the sorrow and obstacles plaguing her. And the hopeful parts at the end feel like her just soaring triumphantly like her character in “eight” does.
I'm not Korean and I'm mesmerized by her , IU is a legend 💜 , my favourite female artist in the world , she is beyond perfection , vocals , visuals , acting skills , personality everything in her is just wow , she is a queen 👑
It's a pity that all these people are experts in music. Since they have a lot of musical knowledge, it is regrettable that they missed the truly beautiful part of this song because they instinctively took a technical approach. The true beauty of this song is the deep content of the lyrics and the corresponding musical development. The progress of the music and the strength of the vocals were all carried out according to the lyrics. It is very similar to a musical, but if the musical expressed its lines in music, the song is clearly different in the form of describing life. This song should not be evaluated only by the technical ability of the vocalist or the composition of the instrument without understanding the lyrics. It's like simply evaluating why the vocals are shaking so nervously without understanding the content of "I Dreamed a Dream" sung by Anne Hathaway, who plays Fantine in the musical "Les Miserables". Personally, I think "Defying Gravity" is a good musical song, but I don't really like it emotionally. The reason is that it seems like a song that is too fancy to test the ability of a vocalist for a musical. On the other hand, this song is expressed according to the flow of the lyrics. So the chorus could have continued to be bigger and more colorful enough to cover the song, but the reason it's still as low as the background... As in the lyrics, the calm waves of the vast sea are always expressed as if they were supporting and cheering for me. I hope these lyrics in Korean will be delivered well during the translation process. It is a pity that some translated parts simplified the beautiful expression and deep emotion of the original song. For example, there are beautiful lyrics like this. Different countries have subtly different expressions, so I don't know how they will be expressed. Even these sentences are words that I chose to express in a more meaningful way than the original lyrics, but when I solved them as if I were explaining them, it was also unsatisfactory translation. - It's a poor night because I don't love myself fully. - Did a child suffer just to be me? - I've suspected a lot and now I think I can answer to me. - I don't think we'll be able to reconcile as far as the day piling up. (means that I wanted as a child and me as I am today change more and more day by day) You'd be even more impressed if it could be translated closer to the original meaning and understood all the meanings. Many phrases mean the music is more greatly and of the implications. To sum up the overall flow of the song, it begins with her childhood when she didn't love every aspect of herself. As time goes by, she becomes different from what she had hoped for as a child and becomes farther away day by day. Then she thinks of the sea in her childhood memories, and later the fear of the world becomes a gift and grows enough to answer herself. (This is the wave of the chorus) The darkness of life will come in the future, but as there is always a sea in memory, it will be possible to find a way back without closing her eyes in the darkness. In addition, the lyrics are thought to be connected to IU's other songs, Love Poem and Celebrity. If you listen to the lyrics first and then listen to this song, it will be much more touching. In fact, this song has so many implications that even Koreans find new meanings in the lyrics every time they listen to it. So I think this kind of request would rather distract you from liking this song. However, IU's songs, such as this song and "Love poem," are especially good lyrics, so I recommend them presumptuous because I want to share this feeling with them.
finally someone speaks what need to be heard or read by these musical experts..its not always technicality but sometimes the heart thats need to be heard and appreciated
@C Kim 사실 기술적으로도 워낙 뛰어난 곡이라... 군데군데 정말 섬세한 보컬 바이브레이션이라던가... 배경에서 조용하지만 엄청나게 바뀌는 악기구성과 화음, 미묘한 페이드, 드럼리버브효과 등등 테크니컬한 요소가 너무나 많고... 그러한 부분을 잘 짚어 주었지만... 그럼에도 불구하고... 그래서 더욱 아쉽네요.. 그런 많은 부분들보다도 더 감동적인 부분에 접근하지 못해서 더 큰 감동을 함께 했다면 좋았을텐데 하는 아쉬움에 해본 소리였네요. 보다 전문적인 만큼 가사까지 전달되었다면 두가지가 접목된 훨씬 더 다양한 관점에서 얘기를 들을수 있을거란 아쉬움도 있고... 예를들어 "흔적만이 남아" 라는 부분에서 미묘한 페이드아웃을 캐치한 것처럼 가사가 제대로 전달되었다면 더 많은 부분에서 또 다른 방법으로 저 역시 새로운 매력을 찾는 재미를 가질수 있었을텐데 하는 아쉬움과... 무엇보다 이 가사의 감동을 그들도 함께 느끼길 바라는 마음이죠.ㅎ
Loving the appreciation IU gets with My Sea but let's all say thank you Jehwi for working on this song with her for her that's all about her ❤️❤️ i love Jehwi's works so much too
Yes, yes, I'm glad someone said this. I'm always on the lookout for his songs. IU's team is filled with talented people. Kim Je Hwi is just amazing and Jukjae who left last year to pursue his solo career are just extremely talented. I look out for his compositions and writings a lot. He wrote and composed Chen's Hello, My dear, Flower, Jung Seung Hwan' s Snowman (did it with IU), of course Dear Moon, composed Through the Night, My Old Story, dlwlrma, and many others. Also started at a very young age like IU and it's just refreshing to always listen to anything he works on
It's my first time hearing the song so I'm a little between being awestruck and overwhelmed I legit am holding it in. This song sounds like healing by letting those tears run down my face but I have work I can't be crying right now
Why did i just watch this now??? I was not yet digging so much to My Sea but i constantly repeat IU songs while driving and everytime, My Sea gets to me. And now watching this, it felt so nice to see such good POVs and the appreciation to little things. And showed how good IU is. I appreciate the analysis of the instruments. It's kind of learning experience to watch your reactions. Thank you
난 이팀이 리뷰하는 거 너무 좋아💕 참고로 아이유가 토크했을 때 얘기를 쓰자면 이 노랜 1절 아이유의 20대 초반 2절 중반 3절 아현재 혹은 미래를 대하는 자세, 생각을 넣은 곡이에요~처음 "그러나" 마지막 "그럼에도"도 노린거죠 반복되는 삶을 표현한 것도 곡을 이해하는 매력적인 포인트👍
The lyrics that i thought was most impactful was not written out well. “Did that child suffer for so long.....just to become me” It really speaks to her pain through her younger years
That ascend notes to half step modulation was so fire omghad but suddenly got trolled by a baritone gospel choir it was hella crazy, IU is really amazingly weird in a otherworldly way
Their reaction was really me when the choir part enters, like you cry, laugh and scream at the same time cause it's so beautiful and yes Plus the orchestration and the instrumental is making me ... float
these past few days I've been binge watching every video/clip/cover related to my sea because I badly want her to perform this on year-end award shows 😭 plus most award shows are going to be offline so I can already imagine how magical would it be if she performs this song live in front of thousands of people like that would be insane!!
Yeayy finally can watch it again, all the 10 tracks in this album are amazing.. but My Sea this song.. the flow of the song and lyrics wise..so many feels it somehow feels special to my dear fragile self. I wonder what kind music and story she will tells us next time for her next 30s album.
I realized that this song is very similar to Dear Evan Hansen's You Will Be Found. It is like a theater song meant to be felt with a phenominal lyrics. It's just so beautiful I can't even say bad anything about it!
IU really has another level of story telling, My Sea is my favorite track from the album, I cried on the first verse due to the lyrics and cried again because of her voice
It's like this song I wanna play when I'm ascending to heaven hahaha! The song feels so angelic, but at the same time you're in the middle of the sea. Moana-like vibes, but make it theatrical. And don't mention about the lyrics, IU's songwriting skills are phenomenal. This album is a masterpiece. 💜
I really love and thankful about how you add the music that your friends explain at the exact time. It's easier to understanding for someone who doesn't study music and make me more appreciate the artist's work. It's really such a good song!
'That sounds like a kids' book I would buy today' LOL In her concert last weekend the VCRs involved My Sea and told the story of a little kid and the sea that IU later released as a children's book in the VCRs. Actually predicted the future.
My Sea was just filled with everything we love about IU, MUSIC AND IU-MUSIC honestly. Everything was going on and I loved EVERYTHING! I can't get enough of this song and the whole Lilac album in general guys! 💜💜💜
wait. Doesn't anyone say that this song is completely "LOOP"??? the last lyric and the first lyric are linked. you can understand after listening the song on repeat. the song's end is about how she gets her own solution for her pain. but the song starts with confession ,'there are wounds that do not heal.' and that's why she starts singing without any silence.
I fear for everyone that doesn’t experience the musical story, pure range of emotions and intensity of this song. In some way it really is freeing and lifting every single time I listen to it. I really felt with Ju Young and Henry the entire video. Truly a masterpiece to me.
The Sea of the Kid and I is a song that never fails to take me to another dimension, giving me goosebumps! I enjoyed hearing their detailed insights and review too!
I love this! But I feel that the girl who focused on the sea theme missed the point a bit since My Sea isn't so much about the sea, but about IU's experience with self-hatred and her journey to self-love. It's about taking care of her inner child and gaining her own strength. The sea works as a metaphor since the way to self-love isn't a straight path, you advance 5 steps and life takes 3 back. Just like the sea, it is beautiful and scary and it's ever-changing. I don't know if they get to read the translation as they film, but if they don't it would be a nice touch to add. Knowing the lyrics can enhance the experience.
I don't know why you say that, she say how she feels the song in the beginning...... and in all the video you can see she is most all the time listening not reading and as you say is a metaphor, she put herself in the way she feeling it....
my sea is such a beautiful song, almost Disney and fairytale like and IU has the most beautiful voice..literally blew my mind listening to the song I screamed
This is my favorite IU reaction of all time. Such a good song and a sad one too. Thank you for doing this. This is really really my fave and the one that made me subscribe to this channel. IU is a bomb you don't when she's gonna hit that high note when she does it's gonna blow your mind.
I think this is my favorite video in your channel. Idk how many times I've come back to watch it since the first time you posted it. Have a blessed day Umu and friends
Such a masterpiece this song is and its amazing how she could make me feel like a wave n like im riding on roller-coaster emo listening to this w amazing musical inst, idk if this make sense but yeah she's such a great storyteller, its been so long since i heard this kind of song i feel blessed, a real masterpiece out of this album imo👏tqsm guys btw💜

The song is about her life in her 20's
The first part is her early 20's when she hated herself
The middle part is when she wants to reconcile with herself, with that "child" which is her
The last part is when she finally accept and love herself that even though she may get lost and swept away by the waves of life again, she will know her way back
Even though they're already done with the reaction video, i hope they'll read this. This supports why it feels like a mountain, or theatrical, because it literally was meant to summarize her whole life
Also the song is 5:16 minutes long which is her birthday & it's the 8th track which is her favorite number
@@amaracruentus2922 Yes, the way the song started from a gentle and sad vibe to a happier and full of life, like splashing colors on a canvas.

[IU's Palette] with IU
th-cam.com/video/L1vjymW7eNg/w-d-xo.html
When Sam explains that this song feels like hiking to the mountain top, I got goosebumbs. It literally how it felt. This song provide stories, with closure. At some point of the song, it indeed made you feels like you are on top of the mountain looking at a sunrise. after all the hardships and challenges. and you know it was all worth it.
Whats more humane for me is that at the end, IU sang about "But still sometimes there will be days that I lose from my life. Even if I get lost again, I know my way back". This line is very empowering in a sense that... its a very normal thing to felt down (going back to back habit) when life hits you hard, but the next time it happened, you know better on how to navigate life.
I can relate to it so well
Agree 100%
Makes me feel like I'm soaring through the air and being above the clouds while watching the sunset
This is the bside of THE YEAR and NO ONE can deny it!
And I'm not complaining

@Devialet Phantom Gold Owner 사운드 좋은건 당연히 알죠ㅋㅋㅋ 가사보다 음악을 먼저 듣는 편이라 아나바다는 첨 들었을때 가사보다도 음악에 먼저 빠져들어서 좋아하게 된거거든요..ㅋㅋ 듣다보니 가사도 귀에들어온거구요..전 팝송보다 케이팝을 압도적으로 많이 듣는데 그 이유가 가사의 의미와 문장구성에서 나오는 느낌들이 모국어기에 오롯이 전달되기 때문인데요. 제가 아이유의 음악에 빠지게 된 이유도 가사 때문이었습니다. 아이유 곡에서 나오는 유일무이한 감성은 음악도 음악이지만 가사에 담긴 아름다운 문장들과 위로해주는듯한 말들에서 온다고 생각하는 사람이라 이런 댓글을 쓴 겁니다. 가사가 좋다는 댓글에 굳이 가사보단 음악이라고 하셔야 했는지 전 모르겠네요..ㅋㅋㅋ
이거지 진짜 가사가 미친다고요ㅜ

I hope they make this happen 😭

She finally did it
이 노래는 작곡가 중 한 명인 김제휘가 아이유에게 "아이유의 인생을 담은 곡을 만들고 싶다"라는 말을 하며 작곡한 곡입니다. 곡 배경을 알고 들으면 시작부터 끝까지 하나의 인생이 그려지는 것을 느낄 수 있을 거예요.
When I listen to My Sea, it feels like I am ascending to heaven. That's how amazing it is for me. My very top 1 track from the 'Lilac' Album. This is what you call 'Masterpiece'.
sameeee!!!!
omg same feels! it's like you're flying up in heaven. iu's voice is so gem it can make us feel heavenly ❤❤😭😭
Same feelings
Indeed
same 😭 this song is beyond perfect
I agree with Kevin, but I must say sometimes, due to the context, not only the musical context, cheesy is what the soul needs, what the hearth wants and I love the way IU was so IN YOUR FACE but also so precise with all of that. I loved this song so much with all the tears I dropped while listening xD
“The cheese is what the soul needs” AMEN
@@EBZ-z5n I agree with you, but as we have a particular point in musical appreciation, Kevin also does. His music approach is by theory and by standards that don't define universal understanding what so ever (also ours can't do that). Even so, we can learn by discussing this differ views and complementing each others. As art and a form of communication, music isn't universal, is just and other language that we are always learning how to hear. We borrow each others our ears and our emotions when we discuss and reach others opinions and interpretations of music and that's what is beautiful about reacttothek and Internet in general 💞
“She’s such a good singer” almost in tears.
Me every time for the last decade.
눈물 질질포인트는 1절에서
아이는 그 오랜시간 겨우 내가 되려고 아팠던걸까 이 부분임
이거는 들을때마다 서러움 아직 나는 1절까지 밖에 못 살았구나 싶고 그럼
IU has this telling a story kind of singing. Full of emotions. It might sound theatrical because it sort of her telling her experiences, her journey, her story as an artist. The loneliness, the ups and downs, the criticism, the self hate, the love and support by her loved ones and how she reached where she is and in the end how she love herself. Shes full of self love now at the end of her 20s. Just gotta love her.. her voice really gets to u.
4:17 여기부터가 킬포임 진짜 ㄹㅇ 이곡이 명곡인 이유... 역시 전공자들 생각도 같구나ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I don't know why, but this song made me feel like I am a princess in the Disney movie, getting ready on the advanture, standing on the edge of the clip above the ocean. It is a magical song, I love it like no other.
I think that exactly its message. When past and present reconciled, you will feel like a princess ready to take on the world.
I feel this is why it's important to know and understand the lyrics, context and story behind a piece of art to be able to fully appreciate the wonders that went into it and how good it is.
IU mentioned that My Sea is like a combo of Dear Name and Love Poem which summarises her entire life history of how she hated herself as a kid and felt like the younger and older IU were separated but later on, reconciled. That summarises the large variance in how the beginning, middle and ending of the song are so different but blended perfectly. It's like an intro, conflict and conclusion/resolution. That explains the title, the Sea of a Kid and I. They are one, on the same path with the same trauma and experiences but have been separated for too long and was affecting each other. The theatrical part in the middle just showed like a whirlwind of storms that can occurs on the sea for me which is an imagery of her life and it didn't sound close to cheesy at all but extremely powerful and I could relate to it so much. Reconciling with her past self and saying even when the waves drift her away on that journey, she knows her way back sums up one being one with all of her now (the kid)- the reconciliation.
IU is one of the reasons I decided to learn Korean and do so seriously, her words and poetic schemes are so wonderfully crafted that embodying it in the original language is heavy enough, then translating sheds a lot of it's essence away and it annoyed me that I couldn't get to appreciate all of the essence of her art.
If you notice, this song stops immediately and cuts straight into "Ah Puh" if you listen to the album. It's like, now I've found and reconciled with all of me, I'm going to be happy, and have fun in the next phase of my journey(Which is her 30s), for me realising that detail was comforting for me and for her sake. Thanks for the review, enjoyed it!
well-said!
Exactly! I started to learn Korean for the same reason, to fully understand and appreciate her lyrics.
"This song changed your life."
Nah man, IU changed my life.
아이유는 확실히 기계음보다 오케스트라 악기들하고 훨씬 어울리는듯
This song is a unique way is that IU culminates its story through its youth, when I first listened to it, without handling the language I could feel the message. Achieving that with music is beautiful. Thank you for reacting! 🥺💜
이 노래 듣고 몇번을 울었는지... 노래도 너무너무너무 좋지만 아이유가 가진 특별함은 가사의 감성에서도 나와요ㅠㅠㅠ 한국어로 쓰여있어서 오롯이 이 가사를 느낄수있어서 정말 행복했던 노래... 처음에 바로 '그러나'로 노래가 시작하는것도 나를 울렸어요..
오랜시간 공유해온 아픔을 너도 나도 이해할 수 있기에 서론없이 시작한다는 공감을 바탕에 둔 느낌.. 그게 아니라면 순간적으로 터져나오는 감정을 바탕으로 일기를 쓴 느낌이랄까요... 문득 그런날 있잖아요 '아니'로 시작되는 일기를 쓰는날ㅋㅋㅋ 그런 감정을 느껴서 왜이리 울컥했는지 몰라요... '아이는 그렇게 오랜시간 겨우 내가 되려고 아팠던 걸까' 이 말도요..... 요즘 내 감정이 이런느낌이라 정말... 겨우 이렇게 되려고 그렇게 아팠던 걸까라는 생각도 들면서, 이어서 들려오는 아이유의 희망 가득한 가사, 단단해진 현재위에서 지금은 흔적으로 남은 아픔이고 그걸 딛고 일어선 자 만이 할 수 있는 노래속에서 그렇게 위안을 받게 되더라고요... 가끔은 삶에게 지는 날들도 있겠지만, 다시 꿋꿋하게 온전히 나로서 살아갈 수 있도록 다짐하게 하는 가사를 써줘서 고마워요. 덕분에 많이 울고 많이 위로 받았어요....

I've actually never seen a pop artist who was so in tune with direction on how her vocal textures affect her own music. This is usually something I see in musical theater or opera. From my understanding, she doesn't have intense training in either so this comes naturally to her. And she's only improved as she got older and has gained better control of her vocal abilities.
Absolutely!
Disney should make an IU chatacter because of this song. I mean IU is the definition of a real life disney princess.
frllll
At 3:13, when Raffi noticed the instrumentals faded and said "only traces remained", that's literally the lyrics of the song at that specific part! It's just so amazing how the song and lyrics matched so well. 😭
As a musical theatre kid when I heard this song I was like everyone else going “Ooooohhh OHHHH SHIT” also, the absolute STANK face singers make when we hear a song like this. I do so miss singing in big choral settings.
Me too.
STANK FACE LMAOOO
Like the synchronised head nodding and stank face at 5:03 hahah
This song is if Frozen and Moana had a child. I swear it's that majestic!
OMG YESSSSSS
YESSS
YES this song made me feel the same way show yourself did!!
Well said...very well said
I instantly thought it could a korean disney princess song. Reminds me of Let it Go but softer vibes.
"that sounds like a children's book that i would buy today" i mean we buy anything IU so...
한국인으로서 이노래는 한국어 가사가 정말 묘해서 그 감정이 전달되지못한다는 점이 너무 아쉽습니다ㅜㅜ 멜로디보단 가사자체가천천히 쌓이다가 터져버리는 그부분이 소름돋는데 묘한분위기 그대로 번역해 불렀으면 분명 리액션이 조금 달라졌을거라고 장담할수있어요..
"아이는 그렇게 오랜시간 겨우 내가 되려고 아팠던걸까" 이부분은 진짜 미친듯
이거죠..ㅜ
아이유의 섬세한 강악조절은 대한민국 원탑입니다.
계단으로 비유하자면, 인반인들이 서너개, 가수들은 대여섯개의 계단을 만들어 놓고 오르내리는데, 아이유는 수십개의계단을 오르내리죠.
그래서 듣는 내내 지루할 틈이 없이 귀가 즐겁습니다. 기가막히죠.
What started and shaped korean pop music were the dramatic ballads in first place, ballads are still quite popular in sk and to be honest, most of them have turned into generic, overproduced songs with cliche lyrics and predictable tropes, they don't have the quality of older kballad and I'm so glad that IU is one of the few artists who's doing kballads justice! (Also one of the very few that always uses real strings in her ballads)
Agree. I think strings are so crucial and potent in constructing a song's dynamic. IU has a great musical taste and her composers are very talented.
@@anamrake she's also got the coins 😭 real instruments for pop music cost the production team and singer a lot
redvelvetsus had the audacity to call IU's ballad overrated and not necessary
@@dumpstacy the audacity, when their idols cry whenever IU performs😂😂. They were so into her performance of dear name that about 2 of them cried. I wonder why these fans always fail to learn from their idols
You're right, kballads are too generic these days that I just stick with listening to older songs and singers. Asides IU, Park Hyo Sin is also one singer that still keeps that quality and does justice everytime. Now I miss him, it's been almost 2 years since his last release
She won Best songwriter, Album of the year, and Artist of the year!!!!
I JUST heard it today, I’m speechless, everything from the arrangement of the song to the message itself is so perfectly blended together, great song.
Like one of them said, it just sounded VERY natural, so beautiful.
와 이 곡이 영상이 나오네 진짜 고맙습니다
항상 가사도 안뜨는 풀앨범 리액션 영상보면서 아쉬웠었는데

every korean knows she's a good singer, one of the best lyricist, a good actress, and a great person
아이는 겨우 내가 되려고 아팠던걸까...
Hopefully this makes sense for Jason, but for the Korean age thing it's because they start counting your age from when you are conceived so when you are born you are already one year old, unlike international age where you are 0 years old when you are born. And then everyone turns the next age together on new years as a sort of collective, so if you were born dec 31, you are one year old, and then the next day on January 1st, you are 2 years old in Korean age. You don't gain an extra year on your actual birth date, although you do still celebrate it. The way you calculate korean age is you take the current year - birth year + 1 = korean age (Eg: 2021- 1993 + 1 = 29 years old Korean age, regardless of months)
A simpler way I use to remember by Korean age (I live in Korea) is just add 2 to your normal age if you haven't had your birthday yet, add 1 if you have.
I downloaded the album, and when I got to this track, I had to listen to it twice. Both times it brought tears to my eyes, it's just so beautiful.
[MY SEA TRANSLATION]
Yet, even as time passes
There are wounds that don't heal
Because I cannot love myself fully
It is a sorrowful night
The face in the mirror feels unfamiliar
That I silently close my eyes as per the usual
I hastily await the night to move on to tomorrow
That child who dreamt of so many wishes
Did she (referring to IU s younger self ) suffer for so long
Just to become....the person I am today?
Day by day that passes
I get farther away from her
That I don t think we will ever reconcile
I don't think it will get better
When I was young
I dreamt of an everlasting sea
Where now only the faintest traces remain
My breath filled with excitement
The cool wind flowing above
I want to freely roam the seas like the waves
Just as I slowly open my eyes in spite of my fear
There and then , the world comes to me
To become a breathtaking gift
That self who doubted so many times
Can finally give you ( child ) a reply
The long lost memories from over the horizon
Call for me
In that voice
I had forgotten
For so long
I wade against the gushing stream
Back towards my sea where the currents start
Even if I am swept away and lost , I can be free
Never again will I let the darkness take over me
Never again will I pretend not to recognize/know myself
Even still there may still be times
When life's waves sweep me away
But from this moment and forth,
I will know my way back

What a beautiful translation, it makes lyrics smoother and meaningful as IU’s seamless transition of Chester register and head register. It demonstrates the poetic characters of IU’s lyrics , her vocal ability as well. Appreciated with your reaction and analysis of the structure and details. I will subscribe it.
Excuse me, these are the exact translations that I provided to the Han/Rom/Eng lyrics video of the song two weeks ago. At least cite the source, please, this took more than an hour for me to translate.

Attention Everyone IU is coming back on Oct 19 with a digital single "Strawberry Moon",
I’m being dead honest when I say that all I only ever want in life is to be able to listen to My Sea for the very first time again. God it was so overwhelming, I felt all the bad and good emotions all at once. I felt sadness and peace ABSOLUTELY INSANE WHATEVER I FELT THAT TIME!!!!!!

this is why i enjoy this channel so much. the reactions are so genuine and they appreciate the masterpiece from a professional perspective. love the reactions.
That's why I love IU and Taylor Swift. Their songwriting skills are just out of this world. Like, how do they think of those lyrics? This is like all too well of IU. They address different contexts but how they write the lyrics have the same vibe.
She performed this song (and this whole album) as saying goodbye to her 20s and looking forward to her 30s, but something about the story of this song specifically felt very related to “eight” where that was dedicated to her friends and their sorrow and struggles but this was about her own continuation through life and through the sorrow and obstacles plaguing her. And the hopeful parts at the end feel like her just soaring triumphantly like her character in “eight” does.
아 이맛에 리액션 보는구나 뻐렁치는 마음.. 음대생들이라 그런지 디테일하게 분석하는거 너무좋다.. ㅠㅠ 내 어훠력으론 그냥 와 개쩐다 오졌다 정돈데..

Their whole reaction when they expected IU to drop a high note but the choir dropped itself instead... on repeat.
I'm not Korean and I'm mesmerized by her , IU is a legend 💜 , my favourite female artist in the world , she is beyond perfection , vocals , visuals , acting skills , personality everything in her is just wow , she is a queen 👑
this song is so majestic omg
it rly expresses her feelings and emotions it’s so beautiful
this is seriously the best reaction ever i watched this video like more than 5 times since the day you posted it 😭
Kevin : i want that book
Me : there you go, this song is a whole storyline ♡
아이유와 같은 시대를 살고 있다는것에 감사할뿐 :)
It's a pity that all these people are experts in music. Since they have a lot of musical knowledge, it is regrettable that they missed the truly beautiful part of this song because they instinctively took a technical approach.
The true beauty of this song is the deep content of the lyrics and the corresponding musical development. The progress of the music and the strength of the vocals were all carried out according to the lyrics. It is very similar to a musical, but if the musical expressed its lines in music, the song is clearly different in the form of describing life.
This song should not be evaluated only by the technical ability of the vocalist or the composition of the instrument without understanding the lyrics. It's like simply evaluating why the vocals are shaking so nervously without understanding the content of "I Dreamed a Dream" sung by Anne Hathaway, who plays Fantine in the musical "Les Miserables".
Personally, I think "Defying Gravity" is a good musical song, but I don't really like it emotionally.
The reason is that it seems like a song that is too fancy to test the ability of a vocalist for a musical.
On the other hand, this song is expressed according to the flow of the lyrics. So the chorus could have continued to be bigger and more colorful enough to cover the song, but the reason it's still as low as the background...
As in the lyrics, the calm waves of the vast sea are always expressed as if they were supporting and cheering for me.
I hope these lyrics in Korean will be delivered well during the translation process. It is a pity that some translated parts simplified the beautiful expression and deep emotion of the original song.
For example, there are beautiful lyrics like this. Different countries have subtly different expressions, so I don't know how they will be expressed.
Even these sentences are words that I chose to express in a more meaningful way than the original lyrics, but when I solved them as if I were explaining them, it was also unsatisfactory translation.
- It's a poor night because I don't love myself fully.
- Did a child suffer just to be me?
- I've suspected a lot and now I think I can answer to me.
- I don't think we'll be able to reconcile as far as the day piling up. (means that I wanted as a child and me as I am today change more and more day by day)
You'd be even more impressed if it could be translated closer to the original meaning and understood all the meanings.
Many phrases mean the music is more greatly and of the implications. To sum up the overall flow of the song, it begins with her childhood when she didn't love every aspect of herself. As time goes by, she becomes different from what she had hoped for as a child and becomes farther away day by day. Then she thinks of the sea in her childhood memories, and later the fear of the world becomes a gift and grows enough to answer herself. (This is the wave of the chorus) The darkness of life will come in the future, but as there is always a sea in memory, it will be possible to find a way back without closing her eyes in the darkness.
In addition, the lyrics are thought to be connected to IU's other songs, Love Poem and Celebrity. If you listen to the lyrics first and then listen to this song, it will be much more touching.
In fact, this song has so many implications that even Koreans find new meanings in the lyrics every time they listen to it. So I think this kind of request would rather distract you from liking this song. However, IU's songs, such as this song and "Love poem," are especially good lyrics, so I recommend them presumptuous because I want to share this feeling with them.
thank you for explaining. I love this song sm.
This is great!
Just Amazing 👏
finally someone speaks what need to be heard or read by these musical experts..its not always technicality but sometimes the heart thats need to be heard and appreciated
@C Kim 사실 기술적으로도 워낙 뛰어난 곡이라...
군데군데 정말 섬세한 보컬 바이브레이션이라던가...
배경에서 조용하지만 엄청나게 바뀌는 악기구성과 화음,
미묘한 페이드, 드럼리버브효과 등등 테크니컬한 요소가 너무나 많고...
그러한 부분을 잘 짚어 주었지만... 그럼에도 불구하고...
그래서 더욱 아쉽네요..
그런 많은 부분들보다도 더 감동적인 부분에 접근하지 못해서
더 큰 감동을 함께 했다면 좋았을텐데 하는 아쉬움에 해본 소리였네요.
보다 전문적인 만큼 가사까지 전달되었다면 두가지가 접목된
훨씬 더 다양한 관점에서 얘기를 들을수 있을거란 아쉬움도 있고...
예를들어 "흔적만이 남아" 라는 부분에서 미묘한 페이드아웃을 캐치한 것처럼
가사가 제대로 전달되었다면 더 많은 부분에서 또 다른 방법으로
저 역시 새로운 매력을 찾는 재미를 가질수 있었을텐데 하는 아쉬움과...
무엇보다 이 가사의 감동을 그들도 함께 느끼길 바라는 마음이죠.ㅎ
이 노래 가사는 진짜 한국어를 알아야 확 와닿는데ㅜㅜ

Loving the appreciation IU gets with My Sea but let's all say thank you Jehwi for working on this song with her for her that's all about her ❤️❤️ i love Jehwi's works so much too
Yes, yes, I'm glad someone said this. I'm always on the lookout for his songs. IU's team is filled with talented people. Kim Je Hwi is just amazing and Jukjae who left last year to pursue his solo career are just extremely talented. I look out for his compositions and writings a lot. He wrote and composed Chen's Hello, My dear, Flower, Jung Seung Hwan' s Snowman (did it with IU), of course Dear Moon, composed Through the Night, My Old Story, dlwlrma, and many others. Also started at a very young age like IU and it's just refreshing to always listen to anything he works on
It's my first time hearing the song so I'm a little between being awestruck and overwhelmed I legit am holding it in. This song sounds like healing by letting those tears run down my face but I have work I can't be crying right now
오늘 처음으로 이 노래의 가사를 들어보았는데 눈물이 나네.. 너무 좋은 가사와 목소리다..
Me throughout the whole video “I KNOWWWWWWW I KNOWWWWW I KNOWWWW RIGHT” Such a beautiful song i cant even
Why did i just watch this now??? I was not yet digging so much to My Sea but i constantly repeat IU songs while driving and everytime, My Sea gets to me. And now watching this, it felt so nice to see such good POVs and the appreciation to little things. And showed how good IU is. I appreciate the analysis of the instruments. It's kind of learning experience to watch your reactions. Thank you
난 이팀이 리뷰하는 거 너무 좋아💕 참고로 아이유가 토크했을 때 얘기를 쓰자면 이 노랜 1절 아이유의 20대 초반 2절 중반 3절 아현재 혹은 미래를 대하는 자세, 생각을 넣은 곡이에요~처음 "그러나" 마지막 "그럼에도"도 노린거죠 반복되는 삶을 표현한 것도 곡을 이해하는 매력적인 포인트👍
This song gives me hope to reach my dreams and never give up
If IU sing this to her concert, I will really cry
The lyrics that i thought was most impactful was not written out well. “Did that child suffer for so long.....just to become me” It really speaks to her pain through her younger years
That ascend notes to half step modulation was so fire omghad but suddenly got trolled by a baritone gospel choir it was hella crazy, IU is really amazingly weird in a otherworldly way
OMG THANK U!!! ILOVEU THANK U FOR REACTING TO THIS
음악을 공부하는 사람들 감상은 또 다르네 공감가는 것도 많고
아이유의 곡 중에는 뮤지컬이 연상되는 곡들이 많은데
장르를 차용하되 아이유 보컬 위주로 가는데 이걸 아쉽다고 생각해본적이 없어서 신선함
악기들을 추가로 넣었으면 그야말로 투머치 뮤지컬이 됐을수도ㅋㅋ
Their reaction was really me when the choir part enters, like you cry, laugh and scream at the same time cause it's so beautiful and yes
Plus the orchestration and the instrumental is making me ... float
these past few days I've been binge watching every video/clip/cover related to my sea because I badly want her to perform this on year-end award shows 😭 plus most award shows are going to be offline so I can already imagine how magical would it be if she performs this song live in front of thousands of people like that would be insane!!
Yeayy finally can watch it again, all the 10 tracks in this album are amazing.. but My Sea this song.. the flow of the song and lyrics wise..so many feels it somehow feels special to my dear fragile self. I wonder what kind music and story she will tells us next time for her next 30s album.
this song hit me hard. it reminds me of a journey with mental health. the lyrics really spoke to me
I realized that this song is very similar to Dear Evan Hansen's You Will Be Found. It is like a theater song meant to be felt with a phenominal lyrics. It's just so beautiful I can't even say bad anything about it!
IU really has another level of story telling, My Sea is my favorite track from the album, I cried on the first verse due to the lyrics and cried again because of her voice
It's like this song I wanna play when I'm ascending to heaven hahaha! The song feels so angelic, but at the same time you're in the middle of the sea. Moana-like vibes, but make it theatrical. And don't mention about the lyrics, IU's songwriting skills are phenomenal. This album is a masterpiece. 💜
Why does Henry have to be a mood all the time? Also "I have no room for words, just feelings" is a perfect phrase I feel to my very being.
Masterpiece IU : dear name, love poem, my sea.
IU legendary soloist singer korea.
Lol Umu explaining the "Korean age stuff" like "hey I know it sounds unbelievable but thats what it is..thank me later"
아이유 ‘그 사람’도 너무 좋음…아이와 나의 바다고 너무 좋고….그냥 아이유 노랜 다 좋은듯….
I really love and thankful about how you add the music that your friends explain at the exact time. It's easier to understanding for someone who doesn't study music and make me more appreciate the artist's work. It's really such a good song!
It's like a ocean wave that builds up and slowly and/ or calmly settles down.
아이유&제휘는 최고의 조합니다.. 내 모국어가 한국어라 참 좋다 ㅠㅠ 아이유의 감성을 한번에 느낄 수 있다니 💖
'That sounds like a kids' book I would buy today' LOL In her concert last weekend the VCRs involved My Sea and told the story of a little kid and the sea that IU later released as a children's book in the VCRs. Actually predicted the future.
전공자의 시각에서 바라보는 음악 해석도 너무 좋네요!! 아무생각없이 듣던 노래가 저런 다양한 해석이 나오는게 멋진것같어요
IU's angelic voice is so good on my ears I'm watching these with close eyes i just wan to feel the music. i feel like i'm dreaming
My Sea was just filled with everything we love about IU, MUSIC AND IU-MUSIC honestly. Everything was going on and I loved EVERYTHING! I can't get enough of this song and the whole Lilac album in general guys! 💜💜💜
아이와 나의 바다 진짜 제 최애곡입니다🙊
wait. Doesn't anyone say that this song is completely "LOOP"??? the last lyric and the first lyric are linked. you can understand after listening the song on repeat.
the song's end is about how she gets her own solution for her pain. but the song starts with confession ,'there are wounds that do not heal.'
and that's why she starts singing without any silence.
I fear for everyone that doesn’t experience the musical story, pure range of emotions and intensity of this song. In some way it really is freeing and lifting every single time I listen to it. I really felt with Ju Young and Henry the entire video. Truly a masterpiece to me.
The Sea of the Kid and I is a song that never fails to take me to another dimension, giving me goosebumps! I enjoyed hearing their detailed insights and review too!
I love this! But I feel that the girl who focused on the sea theme missed the point a bit since My Sea isn't so much about the sea, but about IU's experience with self-hatred and her journey to self-love. It's about taking care of her inner child and gaining her own strength. The sea works as a metaphor since the way to self-love isn't a straight path, you advance 5 steps and life takes 3 back. Just like the sea, it is beautiful and scary and it's ever-changing. I don't know if they get to read the translation as they film, but if they don't it would be a nice touch to add.
