Reading the lyrics is so important to this video. It was written right after jonghyuns passing by the boys for jonghyun. It's about the struggles, there pain and the promise to never forget jonghyun and to continue on this path. You should really check out the lyrics. There are more songs by shinee for jonghyun like taemins monologue which as no mv but the words are beautiful. Thank you so much because of the pain of jonghyuns death was so hard on the fans it was hard for them to watch this. But I always felt it was harder on the boys to do this and it never received the attention it deserved especially the harmonies. So again thank you
To appreciate the song and mv more it's better to understand the lyrics. SHINee members wrote this song for Jonghyun, saying how they started as 5 boys dreaming, and how they will continue on with their journey. If a star is gone, will everything be forgotten? Those are just some parts of the lyrics. The mv also shows how they dealt with everything that happened. More than the visuals, this mv is deep. Them looking like they are just going thru the motions at the start, until they saw that greenish light (pearl aqua is the color of SHINee and the fandom), it's like calling them and so they picked themselves up again and returned to the stage to perform. But of course that empty microphone at the front that is supposedly for Jonghyun, it's saying that Jonghyun will always be with them. If you want to see more of their performances for Jonghyun you can check out their live performance of Diamond Sky and From Now On from their 2018 concert. Thanks!
To add context to the MV, Onew would compose music with Jonghyun; Minho was on a drama/movie set when he heard about the tragedy; Taemin used to workout with Jonghyun; Key used to play video games and just hang out with Jonghyun. Did you see the lone mic stand in the forefront at the end? Jonghyun's spot. The members wrote the lyrics for this song together: Can you feel it? We’re connected By our hearts that are transparent like invisible string When I stand again on the road we walked on together There are five overlapping hands, tears and memories It’s so clear, I don’t want to forget, I can’t forget The pretty words you left behind become a poem, become a song Our voices are flying, we know it’ll reach you wherever you are If a star vanishes, will everything be forgotten? I’m holding the precious you in my arms I want to fill the pages of this story that isn’t over yet Until the very end I’ll say that I miss you But it won’t fill up my empty heart tonight We’re facing each other, we’re still the same We’re still the boys who are dreaming The pretty words you left behind become a poem, become a song Our voices are flying, we know it’ll reach you wherever you are If a star vanishes, will everything be forgotten? I’m holding the precious you in my arms I want to fill the pages of this story that isn’t over yet Until the very end May 25, 2008 Boys shining brightly Like green waves of spring That time will spread and flow forever The pretty words you left behind become a poem, become a song Our voices are flying, we know it’ll reach you wherever you are If a star vanishes, will everything be forgotten? I’m holding the precious you in my arms I want to fill the pages of this story that isn’t over yet Until the very end
This is the song that makes me hate to know Korean. The minute they start singing I knew I was going to cry. Now it got better, time heals most wounds.
