she's amazing soloist in kpop...😢😢😭😭

No matter how good the translation is, there is something special in this lyric only native Korean speakers can understand.. And knowing how she suffered and overcome her mental problems during her 20s, the lyrics are heartbreaking😭

This album gets better and better when you listen to it again and again. My sea is actually so relatable to a lot of people, that's why it just hits different to some and the song is the favorite for most.

She explained that this song reflects her thoughts in the early 20, when she didn't like herself, in the mid 20 and the late 20, when she started to accepte and love herself. But I think that the more "general" meaning is self-love

Here is the comment of this song by IU during radio broadcasts Host : for the song “my sea” , is the kid and me same person? IU: they are same person, the kid was me in the past , technically you might said they are two individuals. This song is about my 20s. The 1st part is early 20s period , 2nd part is mid 20s and the final part is late 20s. For early 20s, I wasn’t satisfied with myself and even didn’t like myself. But thinking that I was clearly not like this when I was a child, Thinking about why this is the case, so in the mid 20s, I was a little relieved. The lyrics said, "I once had a sea in my heart." When I was in the mid 20s, it was like shouting that I would go back to that sea. In 2nd half Song, I just went through it again when I went back, so after reaching twenty, I found that I don’t have to go back with attachments, anyway, I now understand my state. The final conclusion is'even life If you are not satisfied, you will always pass the "sentiment"

Finally!!! My Sea reaction from Aaron IU ranked this song as the 8th song of the album since the number 8 was her favorite number. In addition, the song is 5.16 minutes long since she was born on the 16th of May and it is also about her life story.

She said that she almost fainted while recordings this. This is really a hard song 😭😭

Ballad in another level by IU

The lyric videos doesn’t give justice to IU’s songs 😭

My Sea is amazing..

I don't know the subtle nuance of English translation. However, the first word of the song begins with "But" and the last verse ends with "Nevertheless." I think this already has a great meaning that can't be added. I believe that anyone who loves IU can fully feel and guess its meaning. The meaning of Bye like petals in 'LILAC' is also.

I really appreciate that you care about the lyrics unlike other foreign reaction KZfaqrs in this song. It's a pity that others 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. 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 (The day you lose to 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.

IU songs become masterpieces when you understand the meanings of the lyrics.

She did talk about herself. This song is her story. TMI: See the duration of the song? It's 5:16. That's her birthday, May 16th..

ive always thought that this song sounds like it came out of a disney princess movie... it sounds so ethereal

In IU we trust .

I think this song is about accepting yourself, recovering the self-esteem, and overcoming anxiety and depression. It seems she dreamed of achieving many great things, or fixing her weaknesses for a long time, probably not only as a singer but also as a common, young adult. Of course that attitude must have made her anxious and hate herself. She describes the desire was like the sea that would never dry. But over years she learned to live with her reality. Then eventually close to 30 she is comfortable with herself and realizes she had not tortured herself so much when she was much younger (maybe when she was a teenager). It seems she wrote this song for some time after overcoming the psychological difficulties. She expects that such a psychological habit would come back someday, but she is not worried too much about this, because she knows how to deal with it. This is a beautiful song indeed. I guess most adults have similar experiences?

Dear Name got updated ❣️❣️ Breathtaking song definitely 👑👑👑❤️

It is hard to convey the feeling of Korean in the process of translating Korean. I can translate the meaning, but if I don't know Korean, I would feel very different. There are some words that are difficult to express in English in Korean. Iu's song will be a song that you can relate to many times more if you can understand Korean. The reason why Koreans love IU is because of the power of IU's songs in the lyrics. This comment is using a translator. I am Korean, I am happy to speak the same language as IU.

My sea is giving me goosebumps also the lyrics I can’t, it very inspiring. Thank goodness I met IU my life literally change because of her😭💖💖

my sea is the eighth song because this is iu’s favorite number and the song has 5 minutes and 16 seconds because it’s her birthday

Thank you for reacting to My sea. Its intentional 5;16 long its her birthday the lyrics is a story of her early 20s mid 20s and now that she about to close her 20s. The composer and arranger of that song is the one from IU's home body signal sloppy live same person who composed and one of the producer of through the night.

She said she almost fainted recording this because jehwi ( the composer) wanted it higher and it ended up WAY HIGHER

I have waited for this reaction! My sea made me cry instantly without knowing the lyrics - And even more after knowing the lyrics

this song is called 'aiwa naeui bada' and in short 'anabada' this song is singing about her 20s early, mid, and last stage in the first, second, and last with a child and herself

This is actually my favourite track out of all her discography. This song reminds me of her older song "Secret".

the fact that IU recorded that long note in one take! the power she holds!!!

Wow that was straight high note from IU. The duality between FLU and MY SEA is incredible. She deserves to be recognized globally!💜

My Sea is definitely my taste. A slow ballad, a deep and relatable meaning, and impactful vocals. The choir reminds me of her performance of Through The Night + Dear Name on MMA 2017.

People can never get enough of IU

IU is the one korean female soloist that got my respect! I really like her voice and her songs!

Been waiting for this ㅠㅠㅠ Everything from the album is my fave but this is my MOST FAVORITE. It hits different. The upgraded version of secret and dear name.

She just needs to take care of herself to maintain her voice. She still has it. She gets her strength from her family, friends, bandmates especially the UAENAs who always loved her. 😊💜

I got soooo many chills when I first listened to it, and I still got them now, it's such a beautiful song and it really shows how powerful and beautiful her vocals are, it makes me feel like I'm in heaven

This Ballad of her makes me feel like im in heaven 😍😍😍

I think she's talking about finding herself again. Like there was a moment in her life where she felt disappointed in how she was living and like she had let her younger self down, but that eventually she found happiness within herself again. At least that's what I've gathered after listening to it a few times using different lyric videos.

in short, 'my sea' is about her life

Aaron react to iu’s killing voice on dingo music appearance

아이유 노래는 가사가 레전드인데

1st verse - her early 20's she has gained popularity but personally she does not like herself (23), 2nd verse mid 20's she started to understand herself (Palette 25), 3rd verse late 20's she understand herself, love what she is, love herself, she is happy and has accepted who she is.

The high note in this song, she got it in her first try. I love this song so much and the lyrics are amazing

The next song is my favorite "Ah Puh".💜 After IU found her ocean in "My Sea," "Ah Puh" described how she proudly flaunted her surfing skills and was fearless in the face of big waves. 🤗

What I like about your reactions video is because you ACTUALLY listen, and try to understand the song.. It's really fun watching your reaction videos, Sir. Keep the good work..

My favorite song 💜💜💜

IU said she almost fainted singing this song😢❤

My sea is my most favourite song in this album. Comforting and peaceful.

From what I got from the lyrics is about her life and self love. Her lyrics in the beginning tells that she hated herself at some point in her life and how she felt dealing with that. Now that she's experiencing more life, she wondered why she was too hard on herself in the past, hence, she talked about her child self had to suffer pain just to become what she is today. And in the middle of the song, she started accepting herself and slowly lifting herself up. Lastly, she said said in the lyrics, there will be a point she might come back to the sea (basically a metaphor of losing of yourself, depression, etc.) but she knows she will eventually fight back to look for herself again. That's basically what I got from it. Not sure if I am right but I relate it a lot so I knew what she talked about immediately. It's about her life or in general, self love.

Amazing song! Thank you for your sincere reaction.

Wow thank you again! I hope you can also react to IU in Dingo Killing Voice, she sang a lot of her songs including 23, palette, through the night, bbibbi, eight, etc. 🤗

My sea 😭😭😭😭

I'm still confused how could a 5 minute song sound so good 😭

My Sea.. My favorite song of the Album... With this song, my love and appreciation for IU becomes more stronger.... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Definitely my favourite genre from iu. It gives the same vibe as iu’s secret and last fantasy

Thanks for reacting💖💖🎶🎶 This song is so nice..

The song hits is wave after wave.. ... like the sea.

This is it! 💜

This song is just PERFECT. I can say nothing more cause I can't express ,the feelings I get while listening to it, with words. IU is a really talented lyricist I'm in love with this song😍😭

I can't wait till she performs this live

its pretty clear if you connect it to her previous song, especially to Dear Name, as "the child" maybe the same .... There are some connections to Secret, You and I, and a bit Love Poem, too. Uaenas here already state the meaning that IU said: its like the process to love herself/ourself, each verse for her early - mid - and late 20's thanks for you reaction, btw

I always get impressed with your amazing reaction about lU’s fantastic songs. I’m so happy with your video truly.

IU is love.

One of my favorite songs in Lilac Album 😭💜
