The first time I listened to this song I felt that it is dedicated to her "younger" self (because she "lost" her real name to become IU), but after her exhibition at MMA in 2017 I think this song is dedicated to all the "forgotten" people in the world (dead or alive).
@@wisnuslullaby1590 Without any doubt, she had a peculiar childhood and debuted at a very young age... the childhood theme is always there (both in the songs written by her and by other writers). "Zezè" also came to my mind: I love that song, and I always feel a contrast, as if she likes her "world of fame", but also hates it. (I hope I could explain myself with my poor English 😅)
It's people in general and I PERSONALLY assume that the song is also talking about accidents victims of Sewol ferry. Many of Korean also though about same like me and IU doesn't deny about that so far. As I said, it's personal assumed.
I heard that IU and Kim Eana (They collaborated for write this song's lyrics) made this song for Sewol Ferry Tragedy victims. Their families still waiting for them because many of them are unfound and just memory of their name. It's break my heart in pieces when I knew this.
A hint to the song's meaning is English gendered terms 'he/she' are non-gendered in Korean. So when she sings about the the child as 'he' in translation in Korean its non-gendered. She's likely singing about her childhood self that is lost and she wants to reconnect with.
Everytime i hear this song it gets me so emotional, this song is so beautiful. Always reminds me of that time when idols became emotional when she sang this as a tribute to Jonghyun, literally breaks my heart.
When IU sing songs like these, and as mentioned Through the Night, she seems to effortlessly project those emotion to and through me. What I like and cherish most about IU. Wonderful artist. The MMA 2017 version is legendary.
Been waiting for this, now go ahead and react to her MMA 2017 performance.... you will not regret it! Hope "Hold My Hand" is next... It wa shown a little bit also in IU's Palette with SHINEE...
Hey, if you like to explore the side of "IU" as lyricist, i recommend you to watch her Homebody Signal episode with Kim Eana... If I remember correctly, IU had difficulty finishing the lyrics for "Dear Name" and she sought Kim Eana's help in finishing this one.. I think the song is meant for everyone (who is forgotten), not just one particular "name"..
Since 2016, she's been the main/executive producer of her albums, so yes, I'm sure she has some involvements to some extent in the melody writing too, since she pretty much decides the final say on her works.
When Goo Hara passed away she was in a concet and she sang this song. She lost three close friends in three years, my angel Jonghyun, my sweet flower Sulli and the strongest fairy Goo hara. Please react to SHINee's cover.
This song was for the korea ferry accident that happened a few years ago. Many children died and were trapped in a sinking boat, the response from the government to help the children was so poorly done that it was widely criticised in korea that those kids couldve been saved had they responded better
actually, I was fall in love with this song after watching the performance on MMA 2017 😻 (we will happy if this reaction will be on TH-cam 🥺) maybe you will got the answer as well to what exactly this was related 💫
I hope you can watch the most meaningful performance of this meaningful song, the MMA 2017 version. It will help you understand the song and feel the heavy feelings at the same time.
please react IU MMA 2017, i'm always crying when i hear it. IU had invited a group of singers and musicians who haven’t been able to be in the spotlight fame, they are chorus members who sing backup for popular musicians, street performers, trainees were not able to make a name in the competitive music industry yet and remain largely unknown. IU gave their chance to shine on stage and let their names be known.
yes you HAVE to check the MMA2017 performance of IU!! She performed Through the Night and Dear Name. That one is so iconic!! that is an award show, the amount of people from different fandoms and the idols/artists who witnessed *that* 🤧
my favorite youtuber reacts to my favorite singer and my favorite song. what a perfect way to start my day. thank you aaron! 💜 i'm so excited! I just left comment before watching but i know it'll be full of insights, more respect and adoration for IU and you'll love the song ;)
I love Aaron, who reacts carefully to every sound and every facial expression.*.* Sometimes someone might think of one person, but I think it's a song that comforts everyone with a name. Including everything that is being forgotten, me in my pure childhood, and me forgetting my dream. Thank you for always touching videos. Aaron.^^*
This song is dedicated to the tragedy of the ferry in Korea that happened years ago, it can also be interpreted that she also dedicated it to his closest friends who passed away Hara, Sulli, Jonghyun
I know this is too much to ask for the the reaction of 1 song but you have to check out the Dear Name MMA 2017 stage, it was phenominal. Back then it was the talk of the town and make many casual listeners became Uaenas. Until now, people still search for it & talk about it. It was said to be one of the best stages ever in MMA history and also for IU's. A small spoiler is: She didn't sing it alone. And don't worry if it's too much cuz' Uaena will definitly check it out since it's one of the most awaited reaction.
@@candyy478 yeah i listen to alot of music outside k-pop and Spotify so godamn good at giving me new artist and tracks suggestion that i end up liking so i really dont want to switch streaming plattform
Thank you so much Aaron! I think her MMA 2017 performance of this will help you understand the meaning Aaron😊 looking forward to your next IU video reactions☺️
As long as I know IU never officially explained what this song is about but many Korean who listened this song reminded of one of the most tragic accident that happened in Korea which is Sewol ferry disaster. Most of passengers, especially high school students who were going on a school trip, died in the accident. The ferry was flipped over, search and rescue process took lots of days, family of passengers were waiting to hear their family's name from rescued list. Over 300 passengers died in the cold sea. I myself too think of Sewol ferry when I first listened to this song.
The performance of IU during melon music award 2017 where she sang through the night and dear name live is heartbreaking to watch.i hope you will check it out and do some reactions of it❤❤❤
Thank you sooo much for this reaction💖 I really love this song and it's kinda my favorite. I waited for this reaction so long but it was really great that I'm so happy now. All the words you say about this song were my opinion but in a more professional way thank you so much again and keep making these great reactions💖🌸🌻💫
The words of IU really touched my heart😭: Innumerable things persist They fall apart over the smallest things like a feather To his own name Give anyone a name more precious than any other word in the world I'm not being called now A name for thoughts and sorrow One name to another name Lots of rolling things Squeeze on firmly written words The heavy body moved cautiously Still today, step by step, leaving footprints To all the names of the fragile but dazzling.
I wish u could find a time to watch her live performance of this song along with through the night on MMA 2017, she directed and planned the stage herself, thus the stage named "from.IU" because she wanted to fully convey what the song is about. It's considered one of some legendary performances at a Korean music award ceremony
Here's what I got from many sources, just like the title itself, the song is about and dedicated to all the precious name/ person in the world who have been pursuing their dreams and wishes, facing countless challenges, and who occasionally felt like been neglected and forgotten while struggling to find their 'place', as encouragement that they are all the protagonist too in their life. She also said that the song's meaning is also a dedication to a name that is missed and brings painful memories which is no longer called out anymore. It's from a name to some other name, and dedicated to all delicate yet dazzling names
Listen and react to IU's My Sea, 8th track in Lilac Album. She said, the song is like Dear Name, Love Poem and Secret combined. A masterpiece indeed! It is 5:16 track, IU's birthday, number 8 is her favorite number so that's why it is the 8th track in her album.
On April 19, 2014, a ship called the Sewol sank off South Korea's West Sea. The accident killed 304 people, most of them young high school students. Because they were on a school trip. Due to the irresponsible behavior of the captain at the time, she was waiting on board the ship and was buried in the water. IU, of course, but this song is not a song created in honor of the years heading the case, first of piano music and a pulsating sound reminiscent of the times, the content of the lyrics will remind students of the situation to sink in the water at the time. I cried so much when I first heard this song. Because one of my acquaintances was dead at that time.
If you just feel terrible list you can get what she's told about on this song😭god this song is my faaaaaaav (not above "knees") but i think this song is exactly what I imagine about her.. She is our saver and kinda like the only person that don't forget you .. Your name and your wishes.. The only person that is still waiting for you.. It's the exact feeling about her that i had in 6 past years..love her until end
Please watch the through the night and Dear name MMA 2017 performance she looks so beautiful and angelic and it's so emotional lots of idols were teary-eyed while listening and watching its an 11 minute performance
IU change the melody depending on the lyrics...as you can see she use her emotion to sing the song. When she create a song she most of the time prioritize the lyrics.

Yeahhhh, I had a goosebump while listening to it😍!

Her 2017 mma performance was so legendary that every single idol present there was shooked by it and i think most of them became IU biased.
up!

Even Red Velvet Irene cried
Will always be my favorite performance of her.
@@candyy478 yes exactly nd yeri too.. nd wendy was so mesmerised by the performance she didn't even move!
The first time I listened to this song I felt that it is dedicated to her "younger" self (because she "lost" her real name to become IU), but after her exhibition at MMA in 2017 I think this song is dedicated to all the "forgotten" people in the world (dead or alive).
I think both is true, see her lyrics of "My Sea" ... she mentions that "child" again ...
@@wisnuslullaby1590 yes, when I was listening to "My Sea", I thought that my first opinion wasn't totally wrong, too 😉
@@Chiacchi86 you know whats scary? That child appeared in You and I too, and whats IU's debut song title? 😉
@@wisnuslullaby1590 Without any doubt, she had a peculiar childhood and debuted at a very young age... the childhood theme is always there (both in the songs written by her and by other writers).
"Zezè" also came to my mind: I love that song, and I always feel a contrast, as if she likes her "world of fame", but also hates it.
(I hope I could explain myself with my poor English 😅)

Yes yes yes
It's people in general and I PERSONALLY assume that the song is also talking about accidents victims of Sewol ferry.
Many of Korean also though about same like me and IU doesn't deny about that so far.
As I said, it's personal assumed.
Same here. That is what I assumed when it came out
I heard that IU and Kim Eana (They collaborated for write this song's lyrics) made this song for Sewol Ferry Tragedy victims. Their families still waiting for them because many of them are unfound and just memory of their name. It's break my heart in pieces when I knew this.
yes thats true
A hint to the song's meaning is English gendered terms 'he/she' are non-gendered in Korean. So when she sings about the the child as 'he' in translation in Korean its non-gendered. She's likely singing about her childhood self that is lost and she wants to reconnect with.
Thanks when I read this I finally understood and cried.. it's a haunting message the one that's hard to take in.
I think it applies to everyone. She wanted everyone to relate to this story.
그 이름의 '그'는 사실 'the'에 가깝지 않을까 싶은??
I think she wrote this song about the victims of sewol ferry accident back in 2014.
@@iujjang3395 all of these are true :)
Everytime i hear this song it gets me so emotional, this song is so beautiful. Always reminds me of that time when idols became emotional when she sang this as a tribute to Jonghyun, literally breaks my heart.

Hey, if you like to explore the side of "IU" as lyricist, i recommend you to watch her Homebody Signal episode with Kim Eana... If I remember correctly, IU had difficulty finishing the lyrics for "Dear Name" and she sought Kim Eana's help in finishing this one.. I think the song is meant for everyone (who is forgotten), not just one particular "name"..
This song can have many meanings, one of which is to every ordinary person who is suffering.
I believe you'll get the meaning when you see her singing live this song in MMA 2017
Since 2016, she's been the main/executive producer of her albums, so yes, I'm sure she has some involvements to some extent in the melody writing too, since she pretty much decides the final say on her works.
2015
Oh my gosh ❣️
I've been waiting for this reaction. This song is #1 in my favorite list of IU songs. Thank you Aaron for granting our request. ☺️
the song, lyrics, melody, and her voice.. all soulful
When Goo Hara passed away she was in a concet and she sang this song. She lost three close friends in three years, my angel Jonghyun, my sweet flower Sulli and the strongest fairy Goo hara. Please react to SHINee's cover.

All the words you say about this song were my opinion but in a more professional way thank you so much again and keep making these great reactions💖🌸🌻💫
The words of IU really touched my heart😭:
Innumerable things persist
They fall apart over the smallest things like a feather
To his own name
Give anyone a name more precious than any other word in the world
I'm not being called now
A name for thoughts and sorrow
One name to another name
Lots of rolling things
Squeeze on firmly written words
The heavy body moved cautiously
Still today, step by step, leaving footprints
To all the names of the fragile but dazzling.
Reaction IU MMA 2017, please🥰💖👑
