Fun fact: she did the high note on a single take during the recording 💖 I STAN

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

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.

This is the bside of THE YEAR and NO ONE can deny it!

imagine IU singing this with a live orchestra and choir. MAGICAL!

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

이거는 가사가 진짜 찐인데 내가 한국인으로 태어나고 모국어가 한국어라서 아이유 가사의 감성으로 온전히 이해할수 있는게 행운인거같아 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

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'.

“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

"This song changed your life." Nah man, IU changed my life.

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.

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!

아이유 노래는 가사를 이해했을 때야말로 갬성이 오진다는 사실을 깨닫게 된다.

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.

Disney should make an IU chatacter because of this song. I mean IU is the definition of a real life disney princess.

아이는 겨우 내가 되려고 아팠던걸까...

"that sounds like a children's book that i would buy today" i mean we buy anything IU so...

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.

This song is if Frozen and Moana had a child. I swear it's that majestic!

4:17 여기부터가 킬포임 진짜 ㄹㅇ 이곡이 명곡인 이유... 역시 전공자들 생각도 같구나ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

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! 🥺💜

자막제공해주신분 복 받으실껴

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. 😭

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.

확실히 외국곡이고 전공분야가 다르다보니 청음시에도 집중하는 부분이 다르네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 이런것도 신선하고 넘 좋다 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 합창 코러스 호불호 갈리는것도 재밌고 ㅋㅋㅋ 우리 징쨩 곡은 공연이 참맛인데 아리아나 뮤지컬 넘버같다, 라이브로 보고싶다 반응이 있어 좋네영 ㅠㅠㅠ

뭐라고 해야하지? 그 아카펠라? 그 부분에서 소름이 돋았고, 후반부에서 음을 지옥 끝까지 올리는거에서 몸이 바르르 떨렸다. 진짜 상상을 초월하고 매번 앨범 타이틀곡이든, 수록곡이든 나누는게 무의미할 정도로 다 너무 대단하다 그냥..

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

마지막에 한국나이 얘기에 왜 충격과 공포의 표정이 보이지 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그나저나 케빈의 해석은 너무 맘에듬

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)

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....

이 노래 가사는 진짜 한국어를 알아야 확 와닿는데ㅜㅜ

She won Best songwriter, Album of the year, and Artist of the year!!!!

아이유와 같은 시대를 살고 있다는것에 감사할뿐 :)

한국어 자막 달아주신 분 감사합니다🥺 덕분에 한번 더 자세히 감상했어요

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.

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.

Attention Everyone IU is coming back on Oct 19 with a digital single "Strawberry Moon",

every korean knows she's a good singer, one of the best lyricist, a good actress, and a great person

Kevin : i want that book Me : there you go, this song is a whole storyline ♡

14:34 나는 케빈님의 피드백이 자주 참...... 감탄스러워 아니 팀파니에 벨이라니 벌써 서사 백만번 썼다 광광 운다 진짜ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 진짜 한편의 뮤지컬이가 케빈님 천재ㅠㅠㅠ

아 이맛에 리액션 보는구나 뻐렁치는 마음.. 음대생들이라 그런지 디테일하게 분석하는거 너무좋다.. ㅠㅠ 내 어훠력으론 그냥 와 개쩐다 오졌다 정돈데..

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)

Their whole reaction when they expected IU to drop a high note but the choir dropped itself instead... on repeat.

와 이 곡이 영상이 나오네 진짜 고맙습니다 항상 가사도 안뜨는 풀앨범 리액션 영상보면서 아쉬웠었는데

Lol Umu explaining the "Korean age stuff" like "hey I know it sounds unbelievable but thats what it is..thank me later"

[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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LSkdINo1GXw.html

아이유랑 같은 언어 사용해서 정말 다행이야 진짜 아이유 그 특유의 감성과 아름다운 한글이 만나서 내 가슴 깊숙한 곳을 울리거든…

이 곡의 진가는 가사가 한국어이기때문에 나타나는건데 ....ㅠㅠ

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

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.

아이유&제휘는 최고의 조합니다.. 내 모국어가 한국어라 참 좋다 ㅠㅠ 아이유의 감성을 한번에 느낄 수 있다니 💖

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.

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!

아이와 나의 바다 진짜 제 최애곡입니다🙊

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 👑

Me throughout the whole video “I KNOWWWWWWW I KNOWWWWW I KNOWWWW RIGHT” Such a beautiful song i cant even

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👍

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

IU is a lyrical and vocal genius! GENIUSSSS!!!!! I feel like i will cry when i finally see her live 💜

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.

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.

오늘 처음으로 이 노래의 가사를 들어보았는데 눈물이 나네.. 너무 좋은 가사와 목소리다..

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.

이유야 이지은씨 한국인으로 이세상에 와줘서 너무 고마워요

I don't know but it feels like I'm listening to a beautiful mermaid or an angel flying in garden, I'm really crying while listening.... Gosh... I'm so blessed I am born in this era.. I found goddess IU.. 🥺🥺😭😭😭😭💖💖💖

Masterpiece IU : dear name, love poem, my sea. IU legendary soloist singer korea.

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

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. 💜

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

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

사실 이노래는 가사를 좀더 집중해야 하는 노래인데 저들은 기술적인 부분만 집중해서 안타깝다 이런 좋은 가사는 보기드물고 들을 수록 그표현에 감탄하는데 아마 영문으로 번역하면 그 느낌이 전해지기가 어렵겠지

This song gives me hope to reach my dreams and never give up If IU sing this to her concert, I will really cry

외국인들 리액션 할 때마다 나 쾌감 오져,, 우리 아이유 보유국이야..

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

눈이오는 차가운겨울날에 거리에 조명들이 반짝이고 소복하게 쌓인 눈들이 그런 빛을 받아서 알록달록하게 반짝이고 모두가 즐겁고 행복한 삶을 살아가는 그런 바깥의 모습을 창문으로 보고있는 코코아를 들고있는 내 뒷모습이 보이고 그대로 카메라가 뒤로 멀어지면서 창문으로 집에서 빠져나와서 하늘로 줌인 할 것 같은 노래

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.

this song hit me hard. it reminds me of a journey with mental health. the lyrics really spoke to me

'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.

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!!

Precise translation of this song begins "However,", all of a sudden. And it ends "I know my way back". so repeating of this song is like a circle of frustration and self-empowering process.

4:48 여기 리액션 쾌감 쩔어ㅋㅋㅋㅋ나만 이런 반응이었던게 아니구나ㅋㅋㅋ

아이유 ‘그 사람’도 너무 좋음…아이와 나의 바다고 너무 좋고….그냥 아이유 노랜 다 좋은듯….

this song is so majestic omg it rly expresses her feelings and emotions it’s so beautiful

엄청 흥미롭네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ재밌다 아이유 ㅠㅠ 아나바다 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

I like seeing your reactions, haha. This song is really difficult to sing, IU is indeed the best female singer!

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💜

이 가사에 이 작법은 반칙이었음 자려고 누웠다 한참 울었다능 ㅜㅜ

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.

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!

Hello, IU has uploaded concert version of this song. You must watch it!!!!!

This song is so personal of IU 😭😭😭😭

I love it how they're whipped for my queen.

It's like a ocean wave that builds up and slowly and/ or calmly settles down.

이 노래 노래방에서 마이크들고 직접 불렀는데, 직접 부르는 만큼 더 감정이 벅차는것 같아요 ㄷㄷ... 진짜 ㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ노래 ㅈㄴ 좋아요😳😳😳

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.
