This song hit like a bullet, but nothing compares to 'from now on'. This song just break my heart into pieces.

Out of all Kpop songs in existence, SHINee's "Our Page" is one of the most important songs to know what the lyrics are about. Every word of the song was wrote by the members and it is all about Jonghyun.The lyrics make reference to things that Jonghyun said to them in the letter he left them when he died. Every word is talking about their relationship as a group and their relationship with Jonghyun.The song and lyrics are a tribute to him and the more than 10 years the members spent together as a group. As the lyrics say, "We'll stick together through thick and thin, When I look back on the road we've traveled, The five of us holding hands and shedding tears together, The memories are so clear, I never want to forget it. And can never forget it ...", etc. If you know their backstory, than it should be fairly easy to understand that they are talking about Jonghyun and everything they have been through in the past 10 years. As the chorus says, "The beautiful words you've left behind (referring to the letters Jonghyun wrote to them before he died, as well as all the messages and interactions he had with people throughout his life, etc.), Are like a poem and have become a song. (Jonghyun's words and thoughts have become lyrics to this song, as well as dozens of other songs he wrote throughout his lifetime, etc.) We raise our voices high, Knowing that it'll reach up to where you are (Their voices will reach Jonghyun in Heaven) When the stars fade, will it all be forgotten? (They are saying, they will never let their star fade so that Jonghyun will never be forgotten, and they will keep on living to keep his memory alive, etc.), You were so special to me, so I hold you close (Talking directly to Jonghyun),This page in the novel has yet to end (The song is called "Our Page", so they are talking about telling their story and creating the pages of their novel that has yet to end because they are still writing it every day.) I want to stay together until the end (Taemin has always said that he never wants SHINee to break up and that he wants them to still be together even after they are married with children and are in their 50s, 60s, 70s)," etc. In the story in the MV the members are just trying to go about their everyday lives in a world that no longer makes sense to them. It is showing them grieving Jonghyun's death. This song is very powerful and full of meaning. The message each of them sings about is very personal to them -- they each wrote their own lines -- and it's about their journey as a group and how much impact Jonghyun had in their life. And, as the members have said, it's about all the things they wish they could have told Jonghyun, etc. "Our Page" is epic because it should be epic. It was the song that made Shawols feel like it was finally OK to start to get back to a little bit of normal again. It was a moment of collective catharsis for everyone within the fandom and it showed us that the members were finally ready to get back to what they loved and they were more dedicated then ever to continue on as a group. I feel like people miss so much of the meaning and story in the MV if you don't know what the lyrics are about. In the MV, in the beginning you see each of the members struggling just to carry on with everyday life. But because they have no other choice, they all decide that the only way to honor Jonghyun's memory is to continue on. So you see Onew get back to composing songs (Jonghyun was the songwriter of the group so, this scene also is supposed to invoke memories of him as well), Taemin goes back to the gym (Jonghyun also spent a lot of time in the gym, so this was also Taemin's way of connecting with Jonghyun.) Minho is one of the top actors in Korea and when Jonghyun died he was on set filming for a drama, so we see Minho trying to get back to his normal routine and back to filming. And Key is one of the members, besides Taemin, who is known for his dancing, so you see him getting back to the dance studio and practicing the choreography for his solo debut album. Fun fact: We didn't know that what we saw in this MV was a secret reveal of Key's choreography for his debut solo releases, but since then, now that Key's album and MVs have come out, we realize that this was the choreography for one of his solo songs. The background beat of the song is supposed to represent the heartbeat of the group, the heartbeat of the fans, everything that kept the members moving forward and what brings them together as a group, etc. Every part of this song was done very purposefully and deliberately. As you may remember, the green/aqua blue light you see all around them is SHINee's fan color. It represents how Jonghyun is always all around them and how he is calling them back to the stage. The light washes over the members representing how the fans' love, support and solidarity within the fandom gives the members the strength to carry on and to continue as a group. At one point you see each of the members standing still in a room while the world around them continues on. This represents how their world came to a standstill when Jonghyun died and how for a while it felt like their world stopped while everyone else continued living their lives. As they climb the stairs to the stage, you see the lights come on one by one. I like to think that was each of the fans sending their support to encourage them to keep moving forward. And then once on stage,you see the members all standing on stage with the one empty mic stand in the center that represents Jonghyun. And at the end, if you listen closely, you hear them whisper, "You did well," which is a reference to Jonghyun's request in his final letter, "Please, tell me that I did well." That is why you will often see fans say "You did well" on comments that have to do with Jonghyun. Fun fact No. 2: Just like SHINee's "1 Of 1" MV was 5:25 long because it was supposed to represent how SHINee debuted 5/25/08, "Our Page" was 5:10 long because it was a reference to the fact that SHINee will forever be a group of 5 and this album is celebrating their 10th anniversary. So, this album, The Story of Light, is all about Jonghyun and every maintrack song has something to do with what they went through in the 5 months leading up to this album release, etc. For SHINee's 10th anniversary they released 3 albums -- Ep. 1, Ep. 2 and Ep. 3 -- with 5 songs each, as part of a trilogy that make up The Story of Light. The maintrack songs and MVs for each album are connected. As you have heard, "Good Evening" is about SHINee's grieving process and the way the public sees them. "I Want You" is about learning to find happiness again and how they are personally dealing with everything that happened and "Our Page" is the members telling Jonghyun's and their story. Then "Countless" wraps the whole story up and marks the beginning of a new chapter in SHINee's career.

At the very end of the song there's a line from Jinki that is really special for me: You did well. Jjong would always say that to us, to anyone. He would always recognize and validate our daily life struggles and always say that we are doing our best everyday. He was an incredible man and had an amazing soul and he will be forever missed. December 18th completed six years without my dear jjong and I miss him every single day, but as SHINee said himself, his words became a poem, a song, and we'll hold those memories dearly and remember him with love and care, always. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful song, Aaron!

the mv is about the shinee members missing jonghyun presence jonghyun always was training with taemin he was always producing with onew he was always atending minho movie premiere and he was always playing games with key.

This track being written by all four members and Kenzie that making it more a heart-to-heart talk to the late Jonghyun as they still coping with their lost of him during their 10th anniversary.

This song has a history of making me cry a bucket 😭😭

The song is truly beautiful and the lyrics were written by the boys as a statement of forever lasting love, gratitude and memory. I think it’s a beautiful, powerful and very genuine tribute to their brother, to someone they loved dearly, with whom they’ve made so many special memories, who’s forever engraved in their hearts. Also in Korean 내가 and 네가 are two different words (they even pronounce them differently to make the distinction). 내가 comes from 나 - which is “I” “me” hence the usage of Korean ㅐ(which comes from a i - ㅏㅣ) whereas 네가 comes from 너 - which is “you” in Korean hence the usage of ㅔ(which comes from o i - ㅓㅣ). In this case 네가 means your. I hope this explanation helps.

네가 남겨둔 말 = the words you’ve left behind (lyrics)예쁜 = beautiful

Thank you for always being consistent with Shinee, our page is a beautiful song and tribute, and I enjoyed listening along with you even if it is heart breaking.

This song makes me cry everytime 😢

I'm pretty sure they wrote the lyrics for this one? Also towards the end you can hear Onew say "sugohaesseo" ("you did well"), which Jonghyun said a lot including in his song End of the day to comfort Shawols. He also wrote in his final letter he wanted someone to tell him this. Anyways this song is so so beautiful and Jonghyun definitely did so well (they all did tbh). You should check out From now on and their 2018 live perf at Tokyo Dome, very beautiful too.

This song is very beautiful but I can never listen to it without crying

Thank you for reacting to this song Aaron. This song never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Every single time.

I really like to listen to this particular song sometimes, I think that the great lyrics emphasize their uniqueness and beautiful bond 5HINee

So much happened in this beautiful song. Love ya 5HINee. You're one of the greatest BG ever to exist in the K-pop music industry. Thanks, Aaron, your reaction always makes us learn something new 'bout music, vocals, sounds even messages of life..👍

Finally I got to listen to a cool reaction here 😊! Appreciated deeply. The song so meaningful for us ❤… because it is dedicated to our dear JH. Tho it may be a sad song but written and sung beautifully by members and lyricists.

I cry every time i hear this song! 😭💔

The music video captures the essence of what it feels like to grieve the loss yet watch the world around you continue on while you’re frozen in that time because you’ve changed so drastically & don’t know what to do. I actually stumbled upon the mv after my dad had passed & I cried at seeing such a visual representation

Thanks for all the great posts! On January 1, 2024, a three-member boy group called Number_i debuted from Japan. They are Japanese idols, and I would love to see your reaction video to their song "GOAT". I am looking forward to it!

Thank you Aaron great reaction as always. 5HINee always and forever five!!!!!

SHINee、Very beautiful lyrics❤ They are Japanese idols.Number_i "GOAT" is very cool.Please listen to it.♥️ From a Japanese fan.

SHINee “ from now on” live

This song makes me ball my eyes out. It's been 6 years but it still hits home hard...will I ever be able to move on. It's so hard!

Absolutely love and respect that you take the time to stop and look at the words. Even try to encipher the title until you got it in the end. Beautiful song. Gets me to tears every time

네가 남겨둔 말.. meaning is "the beautiful words and writings you left behind" and You=JH...❤ Jonghyun was Poet, Writer and Radio DJ.😢
