You left an immense void... an undefinable emptiness that cannot be refilled... your voice though shall be heard for ever... remembering us how it was to have you near... ❤️
the only thing that makes me happy is the fact that he existed and left his mark, and for his existence i’ll always be grateful, i was lucky enough to live in the same time and space as him, other than that i’m devastated rest in peace
oh my.... i was thinking the same thing. That, at least he left some footprints. He created music, he went to concerts and all... which makes us easier and better to remember him... i'm forever grateful
Please don't remember jonghyun because of his death , but remember him that he is am excellent artist.. remember him for his comforting songs, remember him for his warm words ,the words which have helped us in our hard times... Remember him for his kind personality... Remember him as an artist , poet , great singer .. and composer.. I am requesting everyone remember him for his works not for his death... ❤️❤️💎💎💎.
You're right. I'm crying because of this song, not because of his death but because of his talent. He was one of the best singers I could have listened to
Not agree. His death was a very important wake up call for the korean k-pop industry and society there. His songs about this topics too. He did well. Even with his death. ❤️🖤❤️
@@Imix1973no one never did said his death wasn't important, wtf. The op just said not to only talk a out his death. Not to sensationalize it like some comments above this. I wouldnt be surprised if he would be upset that people were only bringing up his death every chance they get, even on happy posts, instead of mentioning great things he worked hard for in his career and life. 🤷
His voice sounds...so haunting and immensely sad. It's like a whisper, beautiful yet sad. This song is so very deep and sorrowful. Heaven is lucky to have back Kim Jong Hyun, rest now. Shinee is and always will be 5 members, the only difference is that there is one angel instead of five humans. You were beyond phenomenal. The phrase "You did well" does no justice to Jonghyun. You fought long and hard...and although you've slipped through our fingers so soon, your legacy will always remind us of the person you were. Thank you for all that you've done and always having a bright personality. You were an astounding gem!
Your right it didn't do no justice... maybe in my mind thought it would...I thought it would have reached him thru my endless cries back then but I guess the phrase did nothing
When I feel depressed, tired of the world and need peace I come here. His voice, the lyrics and this instrumental mixed together create a peaceful and really sad masterpiece. Nice and sensitive people can't be happy in this world. Rip Jonghyun
I do the same. His music helps to soothe me and release any built up emotions. His lyrics are so vulnerable and from the heart, you just can’t help but to feel a connection when you listen. The world was too cruel for him.
"Nice and sensitive people can't be happy in this world" -that struck a chord with me bc I feel it's so true sometimes. I know there's a lot of vultures out there, so us nice guys need to protect ourselves. But we also deserve to be happy, so don't stop being the sunshine that you are. Don't let them steal your light. Shine on!
My friend pointed out to me that water gives life to flowers and allows them to thrive. The same way, when we open up to someone, we become translucent to them. They can see us in our true form. And then, when they go away, we close up again. The same way the flower becomes translucent with rain and then ordinary, white again when there's no rain
It was supposed to be a good week for me. I was supposed to have a nice day date with my girlfriend tuesday : I bought flowers to pick her up at school. It was supposed to be a good day. On thursday, I was supposed to finally meet my long-distance wifey, my soulmate, after three years of "virtual" friendship. On friday I was supposed to go to One Ok Rock concert with her. And then I was supposed to celebrate Christmas with all my family. It was supposed to be a good week. But I woke up, my cousine sent me a screenshot of the news. I thought it was fake news, even if it wasn't funny. But I checked, for 1h, desperately. I wanted it to be fake. But when I realized it was not, I couldn't stop crying. I ended up falling asleep at 1pm, and I woke up at 2am. I thought I was feeling better. But here I am, unable to stop crying, my hands trembling, my heart aching. Barely able to breathe properly. How am I supposed to go on a date tomorrow. How am I supposed to have fun during the concert ? How am I supposed to be happy about Christmas ? I'm heart-broken, there's no other word. It felt like my world fell apart. Rest In Peace Kim Jonghyun, we all love you, you did really well.
Unknown Gosh I'm still crying.. I still can't believe it. I still don't want to believe it. God should have pick me, not him. I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE TO HAVE HIM BACK. Bring him back, please. This is so unfair, so unfair, so unfair. He only wanted people to understand him. He only wanted to stop his pain. He only wanted to not be alone anymore. HE ONLY WANTED LOVE AND WE COULDN'T SAVE HIM. His letter destroyed me inside, I feel empty.
I'm the kind of person that can't cry when someone around. So I end up smiling in public, acting like everything's fine, but when I come back home, alone, I found myself crying on the floor, unable to stop until I'm exhausted or fall asleep. Life was unfair, the world was cruel to him. I'm sorry none of us saw his pain, I'm sorry none of us showed him more support, I'm sorry none of us took his depression seriously enough. I thought he would be okay, I thought he would overcome it. I'm sorry all this time I didn't realize how hurt he was, I'm sorry I didn't think twice when listening to his songs, I'm so sorry, we could've done something, but none of us did. But I hope that he's in peace now. Bring him back here to make him suffer again... I can't do it. He didn't deserve to die, but it was his decision, he was tired, he was in pain. He told us "Let me go", that's what I'm going to do. Please rest from now on...
Jazz Bado I did what I'm the most talented at : pretend to be okay. I picked her up at school with some flowers. I smiled. But my girlfriend knew I was dead inside. She could feel how fake all of this was. Everything was fake, exept his passing. Since she was a big fan of Lil Peep and Linkin Park (I am too but I don't love them as much as I love Jonghyun) and both of them died, she knew what I was going through. So when we came back home, she held me really tight as we were laying on the bed and I could cry as much as I needed in her arms. She cried with me even if she barely knew him, just because she felt my pain. I'm really glad she was with me at that time, she's basically the best. It's been three months now. I've finally stopped thinking about him 24/7. But I still sob when I do.
"But, being unable to grasp it despite knowing this hurts as if I’m being torn apart, as if I’m dying" - this part hit me the most, you deserved better, sorry we couldn't help you. You're always in our hearts, we hope you that you are now free. ahhh this makes me so sad- i am lost of words.
I was never a Shawol, I barely knew all the members names. I only knew their most popular songs, I was more interested in my favorite groups. And when I heard about Jonghyun, I found out from my non-kpoper friend at lunch two days after it happened. After that I didn't really care until I heard this song a couple days later. After this song I couldn't stop, I listened to all his solo songs at least 5 times for a week. I started to love him and his voice, it was so comforting. I listened and cried when I went to bed. I can't stop crying. That is the power Jonghyun has on people. I refuse to use past tense because I wasn't affected until after the fact. He made someone who wasn't a shawol, didn't know who he was, didn't care who was, cry for months. He made tons of thousands of people cry for months. I won't ever miss someone I've never known as much as I have missed Jonghyun. Thank you
I know exactly how you feel. I discovered Jonghyun and his music two and a half years after his death, but for two weeks had no idea he was gone. After that I wept every day for at least a month. I have never been so effected by an artist's passing. It's been so weird to come to know his work, and him through it, better and better the longer he's been deceased. This experience has brought me great sorrow but I do not regret finding Jonghyun in the slightest.
If you happen to come across this please remember You are loved. If you are having suicidal thoughts of any kind please talk to someone. Everyone's life is precious❤ You matter.
Laarni Key I wrote this comment when I was the most hurt and vulnerable. This song used to heal my wounds and lift my spirits because of the composition, lyrics and singing. But after what happened in 2017, the song did the opposite to me. I couldn’t enjoy it the same anymore because it brought pain. Years have passed since then, I’ve healed. I enjoy it once again, but its bittersweet.
it's so strange, listening to this now. he's no longer here, but his voice is, his breath is. he's like the light of a distant star that has ceased to exist but is still visible. it scares me and fascinates me at the same time.
i feel so sick listening to this. he was literally calling out to us, telling us he felt depressed, like a wilting away flower, dying. makes me shudder. rest in peace, angel.
He literally talked about his depression so many times, not only through songs. You might not know this since most of you followed him after he passed away, or didn't know a lot about him either. I'm not complaining, but for those blingers out there, for the people like me who really loved and appreciated him when he was here, who supported him at the moment, it's really hard to read all of you all the time relating his work to depression, sadness or pain. He's not his depression. And this song wasn't even about him, he wrote it based on a story that was sent to Blue Night.
whitenoisyu ɞ ones depression consumes them if its that strong of an emotion for someone that doesn’t have depression you don’t have a cruel as to what its like ,also he put all his emotions into this song and you can definitely hear it maybe the story inspired him but he put his emotions to write it
Another masterpiece by this amazing young man- he probably wasn’t as suited for Kpop idol/ TV star life which he found so hard- but his musical melodies definitely need recognition- As a musical genius composer/singer composing these master pieces without the pressure to always entertain & stay relevant in the competitive KPop world - I cannot help but wonder if he would be still here if his life was slightly different.... Yet I am so grateful that he lived & these recordings exist & in today’s hyperconnected world are easily accessible to all of us so far far from Korea - having never heard of SHINEE or Jonghyun during his lifetime... It’s heartbreaking to think he was only 27, yet his songs are so deep- very different to what We would expect- he was even younger when he composed some of these masterpieces- he conveys so much emotion through his songs- I don’t just hear his songs- I can feel them - even without understanding Korean I feel his songs are conveying so much (Ofcourse I have read the subtitles too, but mostly I just listen).... I have fallen in love with his voice, his melodies..... In his short life he’s done more than most do in their whole lifetime ... I hope you have found your peace Jong-hyun
All the k-Pop Songs will be forgotten by the time, when their Generation of audience and fans goes die. Because that's just contemporary popular music .... which lives only by marketing and advertising and merchandising But such Songs like this one about a simple flower in a simple way of a chanson will never die. Because its classy and timeless and outside of every mode.
This comment broke so much my heart, i do the same, every night.... 😢 the only one that can make me feel safe and in company is Jonghyun, only him. I miss him so much.... 💔
He's a true poet and artist.. His words transcend beyond time, space and different languages! I love you so much Jonghyun, thank you for sharing your talent with us ♡
Please check on ur family, friends & loved ones consistently. there’s so many ppl suffering in silence & crying underneath smiles/laughs. even if you don’t know how to help, just simply telling them that they are loved, they matter, & they make a difference in your life is enough rip jonghyun 😭
That’s the reason why I’m worried about like everyone, one of them is my 9yr old lil sis.. I don’t want her to go down the same path as I did. Cuz what I hear from what happens in school and her music... I’m worried
His voice is so comforting and it's like a warm blanket. And I don't know why I am in tears right now this song is just so comforting. I can't describe it in words
This song is really one of the songs where he's really able to pass his loneliness/sadness through his voice. I get really depressed and sad while listening to it and I don't even need lyrics translation for that. Especially the last part with "time passes" crushes me inside. Thank you for everything Jonghyun ♥️ you were right... Music doesn't need language...
I can't physically say his name without tearing up, i can't read his name on my screen without choking up, i hold my breath when he speaks/sings. Even though it's been a while, my mind & heart cannot process a loss. I love you.. i love you...
Omg if this is what Jonghyun was feeling before he commuted suicide. It makes me so angry and frustrated to think about what he was going through. I makes me cry to hear his voice now and I just don’t know anymore
" You imprisoned me in the room of eternity. And now you smile guilefully snowy white." the line sounds like a dead person in a casket. The lyrics is obviously referring to someone who had passed away because of depression. The title is: *Skeleton Flower* and Jonghyun always writes a song that seemingly reflects to himself. Rest in Peace.
Please stop relating every single thing he did to suicide or pain or sadness. To all of you who might not have known him from before or knew too little about him, this is new, but at least this song isn't about him. He wrote it while thinking about a story that was sent to Blue Night (his radio show), he worked really hard trying to explain the plot through a metaphor, comparing the relationship of these two "lovers" to a rare flower. Please appreciate and focus on his amazing work, the way he put every word so we could understand the feeling, how he imagined the song in his mind and arranged it himself and showed it to us during BN before it was officially released by SM in "The Collection Story Op. 1"
@@lanocheazulada so true... I just love his song....if you understand korean its a quite diffrent song.... I've been dancing with his songs so happy ....after sub I understood how sad some are....but still dancing ....just love his and Shinee music and dance vid....
I'm sorry everyone noticed but never said anything, jonghyun. You will forever be missed and forever in our thoughts...heaven needs an angel to sing and now they have one. I hope you are happy now that you are in a better place.
Five years have passed and there are still people who come here, that makes me so happy, we will never forget JongHyun, he was, is and will be one of the best artists, SHINee will always be five, four humans and an Angel who takes care of SHINee and Shawol, wherever you are, I know that now you are finally at peace and now you are , love you Jjong ❤🤧
His voice is like a warm blanket, a cool summer breeze: a sound that comforts me in the dark of night. Always in my heart, Jonghyun. Thank you for everything.
Today is the first day of spring. I feel ready to meet. but we can't meet. I'll be waiting.. for a while.. but it will be day that I can't carry the weight in my heart. then this shows, it's time for me to meet. Just know that I love you more than myself and we will meet again..
Cemre Dincer I'm not entirely sure what you're saying but if you're having suicidal thoughts please know that you matter and I want you to live and I say this with the most support and conviction a stranger can carry through the internet if you're not, then forgive my reading too much into this and have a good day :)
@@atalina1830 I agree so much. Cemre, how can I convince you? I'm crying right now because I don't know how to tell you. Idk if you do or don't have suicidal thoughts. But it's all ok. If you make mistakes, or if you feel bad for no reason, whatever it is you're struggling with it's TRULY fine and it's so absolutely ok to walk slowly, to stop and rest if you need to, no rush, no pressure, and it can all be overcome. I pray God shows you the things He's shown me.
Who is still crying while listening to this, considering he left such an empty space in our hearts ? You deserve the best, Jonghyun. Love you from wherever you are~ 💕
I found this bc I wanted to research about the skeleton flower. I never knew jonghyun made a song on it. I wasn’t a shinee fan but my best friend was and I’ve listened to some of his songs but wow. This is so hauntingly beautiful...
I still cannot believe it. It's like I'm searching for a way out of this reality where he is no longer. Some way to bring him back. I wish I could turn back time.
Well, daydreaming is a way to get him back.. only inside your head but that will make things even worse and it makes you want to daydream more and you'll eventually want to live in [because you can control what happens in it] your beautiful, peaceful, daydream that it doesn't want to make you live anymore. Atleast thats for me, but I hope you're okay ):
I heard this song in a random instagram reel and thought it sounded nice, so I looked up on TH-cam. Found this video and started to read the comments. Wondered what happened. Started to search on the internet and learned about jonghyun and his story. This kind of touched my heart and soul in a very deep and sensitive way and I just became so sad and calm at the same time. Never had this before. It is incredible, that people still come here and feel his lyrics. Feel like no words can describe those emotions.
I miss him a lot these days.. thinking of what could've been if he's still here.. but i guess everything happened for a reason, i miss you a lot jjong. I hope you're resting well up there, you will forever be missed and your legacy lives on..
I recently got a skeleton flower tattoo after years of wanting it. As sad as this song is, it's rather cathartic for me. Now is the first time I watch this lyrics video with my new tattoo and it feels all the more special. I thank Jonghyun for making such a beautiful and touching song. Sending hugs to everyone reading this ❤️
Honestly although it’s so hauntingly sad, it’s still really beautiful and warm to me. The flower may have faded away but it is still beautiful. If there was never rain, the flowers would have not been able to reveal its power of turning translucent.
You did good Jonghyun, you did good. Its time to rest that tired soul of yours. ❤ My Jonghyun. May your heart and soul rest in peace. Its time to rest. As someone who was diagnosed with depressiod and anxiety, i cant fathom what went through your head in your last moments. To anyone reading this who is going through tough time - i promise you it gets better. I promise. You'll be missed Jonghyun. Youre a legend and will go down in the books as one of the best.
This song sounds so nostalgic. Before even looking at the lyrics, it sounded like it could be played in a movie scene where someone is looking over lost lives after a war. That chorus is so beautiful, it almost sounds like a gregorian chant. But after looking at the lyrics, damn, it's even more beautiful. And now I legit want to go to either China, Japan, or the Appalachian trail (apparently the only three places it grows) to find this flower and watch it in the rain. I'm serious, it's officially on my bucket list to find this flower in the wild.
This is legit the saddest song I've ever heard in my life. I can't stop crying... I am so.. so sorry, Jonghyun. He has given up long ago. Get much deserved rest..Angel...
I didnt know about this song until about a week ago...and the tone of his voice literally made me sick to my stomach..not because it sounds bad...it just sounds so incredibly haunting...sad...Ive never heard anything that held so much pain within its sound in my entire life..to think the one thing that sounded this painful was our beloved's voice...it rips me apart at the seams
Know that he didn't hide his feelings. He told the world. He had sadly, a very negative image of himself and he let his negativity take control. He led a beautiful life, he made people happy, he comforted people. He was loved my so many people. And he is still loved. And I carry a piece of him in my heart. I love you baby
I always come to this song at my lowest, it's been so many years and I don't even listen to kpop anymore but I always remember the weariness I felt when I heard about his death...I'm not sure why it affected me so much. I love this song.
His death brought the kpop fandoms together. Together as one, we all cried for Jonghyun even if some barely knew him while others knew him for years. It's so sad to see him go, but he's in a better place now and maybe he's up there making music for the people in heaven, like he did for us- on earth. Rest in peace Jonghyun.
i have never listened to a song with a more haunting tune than this. Something about this strikes sth to me heart and I dont know if it's because of the tune, the lyrics or the singer. isnt crazy how he's nothing but a memory now? And as time passes the people with the memory will be gone too.
"You imprisoned me in the room of eternity, and now you smile guilefully and snowy white," he's mentioned this idea in many other songs and it really resembles how lonely he felt being in the same position, alone. And how he appears to be happy "smile guilefully" He's been telling it from his own experience...jonghyun please rest..we will all cherish your angelic voice..thank you for all the support, love and joy you've given us. You will forever be remembered
i was driving while listening to this and startes crying. ..so beautiful, suddenly i was taken to another time in my mind...i felt a distant painful memory that was so warm and cold at the same time... i saw petals from a tree dancing as they fell from grace... sighs such beautiful lyrics and poetry. I respect his art and gift so much♡♡
I don't know how many times I've listened to this song these days. It breaks my heart everytime. I hope he's finally at peace now.. that he's not suffering anymore.
this is the most beautiful song ever. i am not even kidding i genuinely think so. his death broke me and i still cry, even when lots of people feel a little bit better. this song means the world to me. i hope he's happy now and that he rests in peace. you worked so hard and you've done well. i miss you so much. 💚
This man. This man. This man. I'm incredibly grateful I found him and his music 7 months ago. He undoes me and remakes me with every song, but this song, this song especially belongs, with all its sadness and pain and haunting beauty, in the heavens. He gave and gave and gave of his beautiful mind, his beautiful soul, his extraordinary voice, his heart.
At the very end when his voice breaks off after repeatedly singing ‘time passes’ over and over again... it sounded like he was crying in the studio and that hurts even worse. Let us reflect on all the good memories even to the new K-POP fans just coming or just finding out. Let’s remember everything he did for us and how much he blessed our ears, our souls, our minds, and most importantly, our hearts. Kim Jonghyun will forever be in our hearts, Rest in peace angel, we love you.❤️🖤💜❤️🖤💜❤️🖤💜❤️🖤💜
So, im back here again, listening to this beautiful song. Time does pass, and it doesnt hurt less it just hurts differently. I know I'm not making sense, but I will still listen to his songs and smile, and try to instead focus on how we were gifted with this wonderful human, even if it wasn't as long as we would've liked.
His best song. Because for sad days u don't need popular music. U need smt timeless infinite. An for ever remaining song like this masterpiece. U did well my dearest Jonghyun. ❤️
I want to be friends with everyone who comes to this song voluntarily. You are beautiful people.
Meee toooo
I am here.
I just found a cover in my language and.. just... I have no words
@@sianaatropal1526 yes, I understand you...each time I listen to it I am moved to tears.
Skeleton Flower is so pretty like this song...
I'm happy that there are still people who come here
rain pattering always..!
Forever
everyday
Forever
Never forget
Diphylleia grayi
also known as the skeleton flower, has white petals that turn translucent with rain. When dry, they revert to white.
Thank you so much for this, it really helped knowing that listening to it over again.❤
Thanks.
You left an immense void... an undefinable emptiness that cannot be refilled... your voice though shall be heard for ever... remembering us how it was to have you near... ❤️
It's my favorite flower. I want to get a small one tattooed on me as a tribute to Jonghyun because he helped me through rough times 💜
Still can't stop thinking about these beautiful sad lyrics.
Still keep coming back to you my Jonghyunie.
@@Lucky-ov5cp I can relate. Feel the absolute same
the only thing that makes me happy is the fact that he existed and left his mark, and for his existence i’ll always be grateful, i was lucky enough to live in the same time and space as him, other than that i’m devastated
rest in peace
it's the most beautiful comment i've read since his passing away... thank you

Please don't remember jonghyun because of his death , but remember him that he is am excellent artist.. remember him for his comforting songs, remember him for his warm words ,the words which have helped us in our hard times... Remember him for his kind personality... Remember him as
an artist , poet , great singer .. and composer.. I am requesting everyone remember him for his works not for his death... ❤️❤️💎💎💎.
You're right. I'm crying because of this song, not because of his death but because of his talent. He was one of the best singers I could have listened to
Thank you for this beautiful reminder 😌
I remember him for everything he did and said I LOVE YOU JONGHUN and MISS HIM SOOOOO MUCH😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
I am 💔just listening to this song

Trv8809 I love your comment ,I love Shinee and it still hurts the lost of jonghyun but yes his an Angel in heaven 🦊🕊🙏
I'm fkn crying
thank you for saying that.
Your right it didn't do no justice... maybe in my mind thought it would...I thought it would have reached him thru my endless cries back then but I guess the phrase did nothing
A blue sky, a white breeze, the golden elm rustling, a book at hand, and Jonghyun. My place of peace is where his music is.
When I feel depressed, tired of the world and need peace I come here. His voice, the lyrics and this instrumental mixed together create a peaceful and really sad masterpiece. Nice and sensitive people can't be happy in this world. Rip Jonghyun
I do the same. His music helps to soothe me and release any built up emotions. His lyrics are so vulnerable and from the heart, you just can’t help but to feel a connection when you listen. The world was too cruel for him.
"Nice and sensitive people can't be happy in this world" -that struck a chord with me bc I feel it's so true sometimes. I know there's a lot of vultures out there, so us nice guys need to protect ourselves. But we also deserve to be happy, so don't stop being the sunshine that you are. Don't let them steal your light.

HE PORTRAYED HIS SORROW SO BEAUTIFULLY IN SONGS IT HURTS
My friend pointed out to me that water gives life to flowers and allows them to thrive. The same way, when we open up to someone, we become translucent to them. They can see us in our true form. And then, when they go away, we close up again. The same way the flower becomes translucent with rain and then ordinary, white again when there's no rain
I want to save this
It was supposed to be a good week for me.
I was supposed to have a nice day date with my girlfriend tuesday : I bought flowers to pick her up at school. It was supposed to be a good day.
On thursday, I was supposed to finally meet my long-distance wifey, my soulmate, after three years of "virtual" friendship. On friday I was supposed to go to One Ok Rock concert with her. And then I was supposed to celebrate Christmas with all my family.
It was supposed to be a good week.
But I woke up, my cousine sent me a screenshot of the news. I thought it was fake news, even if it wasn't funny. But I checked, for 1h, desperately. I wanted it to be fake. But when I realized it was not, I couldn't stop crying. I ended up falling asleep at 1pm, and I woke up at 2am. I thought I was feeling better. But here I am, unable to stop crying, my hands trembling, my heart aching. Barely able to breathe properly.
How am I supposed to go on a date tomorrow. How am I supposed to have fun during the concert ? How am I supposed to be happy about Christmas ?
I'm heart-broken, there's no other word. It felt like my world fell apart.
Rest In Peace Kim Jonghyun, we all love you, you did really well.
Unknown Gosh I'm still crying.. I still can't believe it. I still don't want to believe it. God should have pick me, not him. I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE TO HAVE HIM BACK.
Bring him back, please. This is so unfair, so unfair, so unfair.
He only wanted people to understand him. He only wanted to stop his pain. He only wanted to not be alone anymore. HE ONLY WANTED LOVE AND WE COULDN'T SAVE HIM. His letter destroyed me inside, I feel empty.
I'm the kind of person that can't cry when someone around. So I end up smiling in public, acting like everything's fine, but when I come back home, alone, I found myself crying on the floor, unable to stop until I'm exhausted or fall asleep.
Life was unfair, the world was cruel to him.
I'm sorry none of us saw his pain, I'm sorry none of us showed him more support, I'm sorry none of us took his depression seriously enough. I thought he would be okay, I thought he would overcome it. I'm sorry all this time I didn't realize how hurt he was, I'm sorry I didn't think twice when listening to his songs, I'm so sorry, we could've done something, but none of us did. But I hope that he's in peace now. Bring him back here to make him suffer again... I can't do it. He didn't deserve to die, but it was his decision, he was tired, he was in pain.
He told us "Let me go", that's what I'm going to do. Please rest from now on...
Unknown the same..
Unknown so what happened with your date afterwards?
Jazz Bado I did what I'm the most talented at : pretend to be okay.
I picked her up at school with some flowers. I smiled. But my girlfriend knew I was dead inside. She could feel how fake all of this was. Everything was fake, exept his passing.
Since she was a big fan of Lil Peep and Linkin Park (I am too but I don't love them as much as I love Jonghyun) and both of them died, she knew what I was going through. So when we came back home, she held me really tight as we were laying on the bed and I could cry as much as I needed in her arms. She cried with me even if she barely knew him, just because she felt my pain. I'm really glad she was with me at that time, she's basically the best.
It's been three months now. I've finally stopped thinking about him 24/7. But I still sob when I do.
The way he barely utters time passes at the end is insane. If you listen to it with earphones it feels like he’s right next to you
"But, being unable to grasp it despite knowing this hurts as if I’m being torn apart, as if I’m dying"
- this part hit me the most, you deserved better, sorry we couldn't help you. You're always in our hearts, we hope you that you are now free.
ahhh this makes me so sad- i am lost of words.
I was never a Shawol, I barely knew all the members names. I only knew their most popular songs, I was more interested in my favorite groups. And when I heard about Jonghyun, I found out from my non-kpoper friend at lunch two days after it happened. After that I didn't really care until I heard this song a couple days later. After this song I couldn't stop, I listened to all his solo songs at least 5 times for a week. I started to love him and his voice, it was so comforting. I listened and cried when I went to bed. I can't stop crying. That is the power Jonghyun has on people. I refuse to use past tense because I wasn't affected until after the fact. He made someone who wasn't a shawol, didn't know who he was, didn't care who was, cry for months. He made tons of thousands of people cry for months. I won't ever miss someone I've never known as much as I have missed Jonghyun. Thank you
I was the same... now I regret so much, but at the same time I don't.
Same, i admire my sister shawol that still smile and stan them, i cry for them so they can still smile
I wish I knew him when he was still alive...💔
And am still crying
I know exactly how you feel. I discovered Jonghyun and his music two and a half years after his death, but for two weeks had no idea he was gone. After that I wept every day for at least a month. I have never been so effected by an artist's passing. It's been so weird to come to know his work, and him through it, better and better the longer he's been deceased. This experience has brought me great sorrow but I do not regret finding Jonghyun in the slightest.
If you happen to come across this please remember
You are loved. If you are having suicidal thoughts of any kind please talk to someone. Everyone's life is precious❤ You matter.
I wish we could’ve done something to help him.
It hurts my heart and I honestly can’t bear his death
Comments like these are so sweet and helpful. Thank you.
Thank you
Thanks 😘

this song is not the same anymore...
you did well jonghyun it will be the same forever
this song always made me sad, I can barely listen to it, without crying.
Your wrong its same song and will be still. Remember that
Laarni Key I wrote this comment when I was the most hurt and vulnerable. This song used to heal my wounds and lift my spirits because of the composition, lyrics and singing. But after what happened in 2017, the song did the opposite to me. I couldn’t enjoy it the same anymore because it brought pain. Years have passed since then, I’ve healed. I enjoy it once again, but its bittersweet.
it's so strange, listening to this now. he's no longer here, but his voice is, his breath is. he's like the light of a distant star that has ceased to exist but is still visible. it scares me and fascinates me at the same time.
i feel so sick listening to this. he was literally calling out to us, telling us he felt depressed, like a wilting away flower, dying.
makes me shudder.
rest in peace, angel.
Sana Zub girl we couldn't do naythibg as foreign fans across the world don't feel guilty. R.i.p
He literally talked about his depression so many times, not only through songs. You might not know this since most of you followed him after he passed away, or didn't know a lot about him either. I'm not complaining, but for those blingers out there, for the people like me who really loved and appreciated him when he was here, who supported him at the moment, it's really hard to read all of you all the time relating his work to depression, sadness or pain. He's not his depression. And this song wasn't even about him, he wrote it based on a story that was sent to Blue Night.
whitenoisyu ɞ ones depression consumes them if its that strong of an emotion for someone that doesn’t have depression you don’t have a cruel as to what its like ,also he put all his emotions into this song and you can definitely hear it maybe the story inspired him but he put his emotions to write it
Another masterpiece by this amazing young man- he probably wasn’t as suited for Kpop idol/ TV star life which he found so hard- but his musical melodies definitely need recognition- As a musical genius composer/singer composing these master pieces without the pressure to always entertain & stay relevant in the competitive KPop world - I cannot help but wonder if he would be still here if his life was slightly different....
Yet I am so grateful that he lived & these recordings exist & in today’s hyperconnected world are easily accessible to all of us so far far from Korea - having never heard of SHINEE or Jonghyun during his lifetime...
It’s heartbreaking to think he was only 27, yet his songs are so deep- very different to what We would expect- he was even younger when he composed some of these masterpieces- he conveys so much emotion through his songs- I don’t just hear his songs- I can feel them - even without understanding Korean I feel his songs are conveying so much (Ofcourse I have read the subtitles too, but mostly I just listen).... I have fallen in love with his voice, his melodies.....
In his short life he’s done more than most do in their whole lifetime ... I hope you have found your peace Jong-hyun
Your comment is beautiful
"I don’t just hear his songs- I can feel them " can't say it better!
All the k-Pop Songs will be forgotten by the time, when their Generation of audience and fans goes die. Because that's just contemporary popular music .... which lives only by marketing and advertising and merchandising
But such Songs like this one about a simple flower in a simple way of a chanson will never die. Because its classy and timeless and outside of every mode.
always listen to this song when i have trouble sleeping... thank you Jonghyun, you deserved better
Dreeken He decided to go this way 😕
Me too...
This comment broke so much my heart, i do the same, every night.... 😢 the only one that can make me feel safe and in company is Jonghyun, only him. I miss him so much.... 💔
I stopped being interested in Korean culture, including K-pop, in 2019, but I’ll always consider this song one of the most beautiful I’ve ever heard
world is too cruel.
Life will be hard without jonghyunnie ❤💔😭
it is :/
He's a true poet and artist.. His words transcend beyond time, space and different languages! I love you so much Jonghyun, thank you for sharing your talent with us ♡
Please check on ur family, friends & loved ones consistently. there’s so many ppl suffering in silence & crying underneath smiles/laughs. even if you don’t know how to help, just simply telling them that they are loved, they matter, & they make a difference in your life is enough rip jonghyun 😭
exactly..there's so much people suffering in silence and just one word could make a difference ://
A Clarisse thanks
thank you for your compassionate plea. i hope the light finds you and shines upon you in your darkest hours.
That’s the reason why I’m worried about like everyone, one of them is my 9yr old lil sis.. I don’t want her to go down the same path as I did. Cuz what I hear from what happens in school and her music... I’m worried
Alex J i feel u
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER
Heavenly voice.
LemuriMuneChild literally...
i have no words to express how beautiful and mesmerizing this song is
I hope you are at peace now, jonghyun.
His voice is so comforting and it's like a warm blanket. And I don't know why I am in tears right now this song is just so comforting. I can't describe it in words
This song is really one of the songs where he's really able to pass his loneliness/sadness through his voice. I get really depressed and sad while listening to it and I don't even need lyrics translation for that. Especially the last part with "time passes" crushes me inside. Thank you for everything Jonghyun ♥️ you were right... Music doesn't need language...
You gave words to my thoughts
And yes the last two words -time passes
They hit damn hard
I can't physically say his name without tearing up, i can't read his name on my screen without choking up, i hold my breath when he speaks/sings. Even though it's been a while, my mind & heart cannot process a loss. I love you.. i love you...
Omg if this is what Jonghyun was feeling before he commuted suicide. It makes me so angry and frustrated to think about what he was going through. I makes me cry to hear his voice now and I just don’t know anymore
" You imprisoned me in the room of eternity. And now you smile guilefully snowy white." the line sounds like a dead person in a casket. The lyrics is obviously referring to someone who had passed away because of depression. The title is: *Skeleton Flower* and Jonghyun always writes a song that seemingly reflects to himself. Rest in Peace.
Barthol Den That is a very literary interpretation. Thank you. It's beautiful haunting and true.
Please stop relating every single thing he did to suicide or pain or sadness. To all of you who might not have known him from before or knew too little about him, this is new, but at least this song isn't about him. He wrote it while thinking about a story that was sent to Blue Night (his radio show), he worked really hard trying to explain the plot through a metaphor, comparing the relationship of these two "lovers" to a rare flower. Please appreciate and focus on his amazing work, the way he put every word so we could understand the feeling, how he imagined the song in his mind and arranged it himself and showed it to us during BN before it was officially released by SM in "The Collection Story Op. 1"
@@lanocheazulada so true... I just love his song....if you understand korean its a quite diffrent song.... I've been dancing with his songs so happy ....after sub I understood how sad some are....but still dancing ....just love his and Shinee music and dance vid....
This song is such a comfort to me
I'm sorry everyone noticed but never said anything, jonghyun. You will forever be missed and forever in our thoughts...heaven needs an angel to sing and now they have one. I hope you are happy now that you are in a better place.
jisoos christ two👼 Michael Jackson is the first 👼😊
dont ruin this moment nazli.
Nazli Schrott stfu ok
Five years have passed and there are still people who come here, that makes me so happy, we will never forget JongHyun, he was, is and will be one of the best artists, SHINee will always be five, four humans and an Angel who takes care of SHINee and Shawol, wherever you are, I know that now you are finally at peace and now you are , love you Jjong ❤🤧
This song keeps on playing in my head
ArcticFirepixy Same. His lyrics inspire me to write an English cover. But I can never sing as good as he.
ArcticFirepixy the same..the same..
same I find myself humming to it unconsciously.
same...😔
His voice is like a warm blanket, a cool summer breeze: a sound that comforts me in the dark of night. Always in my heart, Jonghyun. Thank you for everything.
Today is the first day of spring. I feel ready to meet. but we can't meet. I'll be waiting.. for a while.. but it will be day that I can't carry the weight in my heart. then this shows, it's time for me to meet. Just know that I love you more than myself and we will meet again..
Cemre Dincer I'm not entirely sure what you're saying but if you're having suicidal thoughts please know that you matter and I want you to live and I say this with the most support and conviction a stranger can carry through the internet
if you're not, then forgive my reading too much into this and have a good day :)
@@atalina1830 I agree so much. Cemre, how can I convince you? I'm crying right now because I don't know how to tell you. Idk if you do or don't have suicidal thoughts. But it's all ok. If you make mistakes, or if you feel bad for no reason, whatever it is you're struggling with it's TRULY fine and it's so absolutely ok to walk slowly, to stop and rest if you need to, no rush, no pressure, and it can all be overcome. I pray God shows you the things He's shown me.
Who is still crying while listening to this, considering he left such an empty space in our hearts ? You deserve the best, Jonghyun. Love you from wherever you are~ 💕
i'm back to listen this song and crying
I listen to Jjong almost daily. It’s how I stay afloat. He gave us so many things to treasure, and this is one of my favorites.
it’s hard to comprehend he’s gone.
No kidding.........
I found this bc I wanted to research about the skeleton flower. I never knew jonghyun made a song on it. I wasn’t a shinee fan but my best friend was and I’ve listened to some of his songs but wow. This is so hauntingly beautiful...
I found this because i had a dream about these flowers, seeing that he made a song about them really surprised me
I still cannot believe it. It's like I'm searching for a way out of this reality where he is no longer. Some way to bring him back. I wish I could turn back time.
me too
Well, daydreaming is a way to get him back.. only inside your head but that will make things even worse and it makes you want to daydream more and you'll eventually want to live in [because you can control what happens in it] your beautiful, peaceful, daydream that it doesn't want to make you live anymore. Atleast thats for me, but I hope you're okay ):
I'm okay - thank you for your concern (^^) I'm just so sad that this has to be the way forward. The flow of time really is unforgiving.
I heard this song in a random instagram reel and thought it sounded nice, so I looked up on TH-cam. Found this video and started to read the comments. Wondered what happened. Started to search on the internet and learned about jonghyun and his story. This kind of touched my heart and soul in a very deep and sensitive way and I just became so sad and calm at the same time. Never had this before. It is incredible, that people still come here and feel his lyrics. Feel like no words can describe those emotions.
His voice sounded like he was giving up but he tried to stay strong until that one day.. and the end had me crying too, the sigh and just ;-;;
I miss him a lot these days.. thinking of what could've been if he's still here.. but i guess everything happened for a reason, i miss you a lot jjong. I hope you're resting well up there, you will forever be missed and your legacy lives on..
This is one of favourites to sing and it is my favourite by Jonghyun.
I recently got a skeleton flower tattoo after years of wanting it. As sad as this song is, it's rather cathartic for me. Now is the first time I watch this lyrics video with my new tattoo and it feels all the more special.
I thank Jonghyun for making such a beautiful and touching song. Sending hugs to everyone reading this ❤️
Honestly although it’s so hauntingly sad, it’s still really beautiful and warm to me. The flower may have faded away but it is still beautiful. If there was never rain, the flowers would have not been able to reveal its power of turning translucent.
The flower represents jonghyun's life. I just realize it now :'(
When he sings "aah", I feel a million emotions whirling round my heart.
You did good Jonghyun, you did good. Its time to rest that tired soul of yours. ❤ My Jonghyun. May your heart and soul rest in peace. Its time to rest. As someone who was diagnosed with depressiod and anxiety, i cant fathom what went through your head in your last moments. To anyone reading this who is going through tough time - i promise you it gets better. I promise. You'll be missed Jonghyun. Youre a legend and will go down in the books as one of the best.
If there's a next life, i want to reborn as a friend of yours and never leave your side ever, rest well baby rest easy, I love you🖤
I'm so sad. This person was gifted but I can really hear his cry for help in his songs. Please rest in peace .
This song sounds so nostalgic. Before even looking at the lyrics, it sounded like it could be played in a movie scene where someone is looking over lost lives after a war. That chorus is so beautiful, it almost sounds like a gregorian chant. But after looking at the lyrics, damn, it's even more beautiful.
And now I legit want to go to either China, Japan, or the Appalachian trail (apparently the only three places it grows) to find this flower and watch it in the rain. I'm serious, it's officially on my bucket list to find this flower in the wild.
This is legit the saddest song I've ever heard in my life. I can't stop crying... I am so.. so sorry, Jonghyun. He has given up long ago. Get much deserved rest..Angel...
The way I cry every time I hear this... and yet I still listen to it.
@@sulleria4426 I just love the song so much... but it hurts me... especially lyrics - and in relation to him not being here anymore
rest in peace brother. you deserve it.
I cry everytime I listen to this song. It is so beautiful! I love it... Thx Jonghyun for this masterpiece. We are proud of you!!!
Rest in peace Jong 😞
I didnt know about this song until about a week ago...and the tone of his voice literally made me sick to my stomach..not because it sounds bad...it just sounds so incredibly haunting...sad...Ive never heard anything that held so much pain within its sound in my entire life..to think the one thing that sounded this painful was our beloved's voice...it rips me apart at the seams
Know that he didn't hide his feelings. He told the world. He had sadly, a very negative image of himself and he let his negativity take control. He led a beautiful life, he made people happy, he comforted people. He was loved my so many people. And he is still loved. And I carry a piece of him in my heart. I love you baby
I'm speechless
This song is something... something unreal
Jonghyun was a Poet indeed
Oh my goodness... his singing... is so beautiful...
I always come to this song at my lowest, it's been so many years and I don't even listen to kpop anymore but I always remember the weariness I felt when I heard about his death...I'm not sure why it affected me so much. I love this song.
Jonghyun isn't even kpop. He is a blues and jazz singer and writer. Brilliant musician...
@tanyaych5977 shinee
Rest in peace Jonghyun. May your spirit know that you were loved.
His death brought the kpop fandoms together.
Together as one, we all cried for Jonghyun even if some barely knew him while others knew him for years.
It's so sad to see him go, but he's in a better place now and maybe he's up there making music for the people in heaven, like he did for us- on earth.
Rest in peace Jonghyun.
Goodbye Jonghyun... Damn i loved him so much..
i have never listened to a song with a more haunting tune than this. Something about this strikes sth to me heart and I dont know if it's because of the tune, the lyrics or the singer.
isnt crazy how he's nothing but a memory now? And as time passes the people with the memory will be gone too.
gone too soon. my thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and fans. he will be greatly missed
this is the deepest, saddest ballad in kpop for sure i literally tear up EVERY listen :/
"You imprisoned me in the room of eternity, and now you smile guilefully and snowy white," he's mentioned this idea in many other songs and it really resembles how lonely he felt being in the same position, alone. And how he appears to be happy "smile guilefully" He's been telling it from his own experience...jonghyun please rest..we will all cherish your angelic voice..thank you for all the support, love and joy you've given us. You will forever be remembered
It's already 2020, and I'm still sad. But also glad because people still listen to his songs.
Such a beautiful voice....I miss it
If I would to choose only one song to listen to for my entire life , it will definitely be Diphylleia grayi , such a piece of art , thank you Jjong 💙
i was driving while listening to this and startes crying. ..so beautiful, suddenly i was taken to another time in my mind...i felt a distant painful memory that was so warm and cold at the same time... i saw petals from a tree dancing as they fell from grace... sighs such beautiful lyrics and poetry. I respect his art and gift so much♡♡
i just so love his voice. that melancholic haunting heart piercing voice. haunting yet soothing
I miss him already. I wish you rest and peace now, Jonghyun. I’m sorry for the pain.
6 years later and I am still here.. I love you forever Jonghyun💔
Thank you. I'm sorry. I love you
He wasnt an idol he was an artist
I'm coming here after all the news. A beautiful song from a beautiful mind. Thank you, Jonghyun. For everything. Rest in Peace.
Such a velvety voice. It's like the snow, that melts on your hands, on a warm day, as soon as you touch it.
1:25 this part. We love you so much.
Most beautiful soul with most beautiful voice.
I don't know how many times I've listened to this song these days. It breaks my heart everytime. I hope he's finally at peace now.. that he's not suffering anymore.
me too.. :'(
His voice has always been so beautiful
this is the most beautiful song ever. i am not even kidding i genuinely think so.
his death broke me and i still cry, even when lots of people feel a little bit better.
this song means the world to me. i hope he's happy now and that he rests in peace.
you worked so hard and you've done well. i miss you so much. 💚
This man. This man. This man.
I'm incredibly grateful I found him and his music 7 months ago. He undoes me and remakes me with every song, but this song, this song especially belongs, with all its sadness and pain and haunting beauty, in the heavens.
He gave and gave and gave of his beautiful mind, his beautiful soul, his extraordinary voice, his heart.
At the very end when his voice breaks off after repeatedly singing ‘time passes’ over and over again... it sounded like he was crying in the studio and that hurts even worse. Let us reflect on all the good memories even to the new K-POP fans just coming or just finding out. Let’s remember everything he did for us and how much he blessed our ears, our souls, our minds, and most importantly, our hearts. Kim Jonghyun will forever be in our hearts, Rest in peace angel, we love you.❤️🖤💜❤️🖤💜❤️🖤💜❤️🖤💜
So, im back here again, listening to this beautiful song. Time does pass, and it doesnt hurt less it just hurts differently. I know I'm not making sense, but I will still listen to his songs and smile, and try to instead focus on how we were gifted with this wonderful human, even if it wasn't as long as we would've liked.
Im sorry, that we couldn't help
still playing this on loop years later
This is one of my favorite songs in the world, like the lyrics, the voice, the meaning EVERYTHING is so perfect and well done
His best song. Because for sad days u don't need popular music. U need smt timeless infinite. An for ever remaining song like this masterpiece. U did well my dearest Jonghyun. ❤️
It's raining here and I really love listening to this song when it rains, it hits you on a different level.
Its 2020 and even now it feels unreal what happend... it hasn't really sunk into my mind that this beautiful human being is not with us anymore..
