"Tell me honestly you're really lonely" I just... This song, however sad it is, has really helped me during dark days, when I thought I just couldn't anymore, when the idea to take one more step was just so dauting. And this song brought me comfort because I recognized the loneliness Jonghyun wrote about and just by writing it it made me feel even a tiny bit less lonely. I'm sorry that he didn't have that or that it wasn't enough at the end. I'm so sorry he hurt this much. I am so sorry Jonghyun. You did so well. You did so so so well. You were so full of talent and grace and kindness. I already miss you so much. But nevermind me, I hope that you're well, that you're at peace at long last. Thank you, I'm sorry, I love you.
I cried😭 Whenever he says, “안녕,안녕,” it’s like I can hear the pain. And at the end when he sniffles, it sounded like he was crying when he recorded this😭😭 Jonghyun, this was so beautiful. I miss you so so much, and I hope you are in a non-painful, better place. Rest well Bling Bling, We will forever love you💜
Ok so i watched it two times because the first time I didn't even notice the change of colors until the end, as I was too busy reading the lyrics while staring at the picture. Which by the way is perfect, like everytime he sings « tell me honestly » I kept thinking what a great choice of a picture it was, because with that expression, it really feels like he's looking at you saying that and probing you to answer it. And that's the thing, because the song's about his reflection in the elevator door right (and well, more generally reflection about where he is in life) so it feels like we are that reflection. I love that because while he may tell a personal story, it's also one you can relate to. Also, the everchanging murky watercolors was a great choice too since he doesn't quite recognize himself anymore. Lmao, i'm sorry this is over the top analyzing, but well, this song is one of my absolute faves of his and you have done it great justice. So thanks a lot for that. And hum, sorry for the rambling. Keep up the amazing work ! ^^
I'll always look forward to your interpretations of my videos~~You really give these lyric videos a whole new purpose for me; I appreciate them even more because of you. You're really impressive!!! Thanks so much.
Omg thank you, i'm glad to know you don't mind my ramblings, even more so that you enjoy them, since i'm such a fan of your work. Like I'm really appreciative of lyrics videos in general because I of course love understanding what my faves are singing about, but your videos go beyond that practility. Your edits often drive further my emotional connection to the songs as your choices in font and colors and pictures add new layers to them. I think that's why i'm so prone to interpreting them ^^.
I kept praying you wouldn't be dead for the sake of your family and friends. I still hope my prayers reach the universe and hear all the pleas from everyone. If there's anyone I think who deserves a second chance life, it is Jonghyun.
God this song is my fav also i think he was singing to himself like this song is for him. Rest in paradise you were truly an amazing artist. I hope you feel happy.
I love this masterpiece.. Jonghyun your song is so intriguing and soulful. You bare all of yourself through your music till you lost yourself. You are talking to yourself and was crying towards the end. I am still shocked - Rest In Peace. 🙏
Muna Omar There are quite a few songs where I think he was crying as he recorded them. Including the last one on his last album. I think it sounds beautiful though, to have an artist that expressive in his music.
kikarebeide Jonghyun was a thorough professional: I don't think he would have allowed a commercial recording to go out with an audible error like that, especially when it could so easily be edited out. What I think you're hearing is this particular breathing style he employed to create a sense of immediacy of his voice with the microphone; it's his technique, not his tears. Having said all of that, Jonghyun was exceptional for putting into his songs such naked expression of his depression and low self-image. The man showed enormous courage in not putting on a false brave face which is what a lesser artist would do.
I'm more angry at myself for not being able to anything for him! I love him I love shinee! I wish I wasn't just a fan! I wish I could;ve done something to help him! I didn't realize how lost I would feel without him, I didn't realize what an impact he had on me . I think I;m taking this too hard but I can't help it! I wish there was more that someone couldve done maybe a phone call timed at just the right moment or something. Please let me just wake up from this nightmare or put me out of my misery.
I completely understand how you feel, you are not alone...I am so angry that I couldn't do anything - but then maybe that's selfish? to think I could have helped where others failed. Depression is the hardest thing to have to deal with, but also hard to help others suffering through it also. At the very least I wish I could have been a hand to hold, an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. I think we all do... The letter, the instagram posts, his radio show...all the farewells he had left behind hurts more and more as I wonder - did he really want to die? did he really want to leave the world behind? Or did he just want the pain to stop? was he desperately waiting for someone/something to save him because he was too ashamed to ask directly? Did he lie on his apartment floor, alone and in fear of what was to come as he slowly lost consciousness? Did he cry...did he regret it in the last moment...did he panic...? ...Or maybe - and I pray every night that this is true - he smiled knowing he was finally free from his demons. I keep telling myself "time heals, time heals..." but I'm finding it harder and harder as each day goes by. No one deserves to suffer like that. No one. If you need to talk, I'm here
For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night You took your life, as lovers often do But I could've told you Vincent This world was never meant for One as beautiful as you
I love this song I love singing to it and I love it because I am just like Jonghyun his songs have gotten me through a lot and when I heard that he was gone I didn't want to believe it at first then it was real I locked myself in my room, played his songs and cried I couldn't stop my tears from falling and knowing that I will never get another email saying he put out a new song hurts more then anything the pain I couldn't get ride of or forget about came rushing through my body I just fell to the floor and started crying I wanted this not to be true so badly but it is real and I thought I couldn't take it anymore but I saw a picture of him smiling and it made me think twice about things :) :( I will miss him so much but I still have him in my heart so he is not far I love you Jonghyun so so much you did well really really well I am so sorry that you hurt this much I really really wish I could have done something but I am just one girl and I was half way across the world when it happened... You did well Jonghyun you really did, Thank you so much for everything for just having you in my life thank you *crying* R.I.P once again I love you and you did well😭♥
He might mean hello in the sense of "hello this is me" he put on this face in front of fans and he's showing us this side of him so it's like we just met
I am kinda new shawol. So there is so many song i have not yet listen or know the translation.. Life was hard. I dont think my problem is too big if its was put beside others struggle. But still..I hoping for someone to ask me if im okay...its so suffocating that i at the place where i dont have anyone with me. And then this song come to my tl. And i feel like Jjong is asking me if im okay. Tell the truth.. And hits me when he ask me "since when you are alone" its broke me to the tears. Thankyou for asking me i really need that. Thankyou Jjong.. We will never forget you
I see all these people who commented on videos and pictures when he left, and it feels like they were all just riding the hype... where were they before it happened. Where are they now. I won't ever get over it. I miss Jonghyun, and it hurts.
Skyler Jeong same here. they sort of appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared a few weeks later. i think it'll (the visits to his videos and everything) will completely die down by around june, and then start again in mid-december, but there will always be people like us who are always hanging around here.
This didn't have to happen: perhaps a different country, a different culture, where he could have been himself and had a lover or partner to help him, someone to go home to other than his dog, and professional help to get him through the dark & difficult days. I'm sorry, I can't agree with all those who say he is at peace; all I see is the waste and the loss of what might have been. We are billions on this planet but that doesn't mean we can afford to lose early the best amongst us, like him.
بك تبدأ الحياه ..وبك تنتهي . لاعيش هذا الالم وحيده ..بدونك وحيده بدون احباء ...بدون امال ..بدون احلام تنسج من جديد في كل حين . الهف لذكرك ..لاتبعك والقلب يخفق بسرعه من اجلك . افتقدك ...افتقدك .افتقد الموت الذي لايأمل مني بشئ . جون طال بعدك فهل من انتظار اخر ؟؟؟😭😭
I really feel like he wrote this song to himself, as if this song is to exemplify all of things going on in his head. It's so tragic, I'm sorry we couldn't help you when you were hurting the most, Jonghyun.
Jonghyun-ah, I wish I could've helped you with your loneliness. I wish you were still with us. I wish someone noticed earlier. I wish you would have believed in yourself more. I miss you. But now I hope you are at peace and I hope you know that SHINee loves you, Shawols love you and I love you. You did well.
well shit, as someone who has been fighting with depression for years now, these lyrics and song were like a ton of bricks. In a way its funny, I never really thought about it, but as soon as I saw the lyrics my instant reaction was, oh yeah elevators will get you, this small space with your reflection everywhere, and you see how strange your face is and youre not even sure if you know this person anymore. Its such a strange feeling, ive never seen it captured, and especially not this accurately. I dont even want to think about it and i couldnt look away anyway.

you guys I just realized he is talking to himself in this song
It's that feel when you talk to yourself went out all your fears his voice resembles that
If you listen closely to the end, he is breathing like he is crying. I noticed it, did you?
I cried😭 Whenever he says, “안녕,안녕,” it’s like I can hear the pain. And at the end when he sniffles, it sounded like he was crying when he recorded this😭😭
Jonghyun, this was so beautiful. I miss you so so much, and I hope you are in a non-painful, better place. Rest well Bling Bling,
We will forever love you💜

SeveredWires I enjoyed your analysis it made me see the song differently
He is such an artist , love him
I kept praying you wouldn't be dead for the sake of your family and friends. I still hope my prayers reach the universe and hear all the pleas from everyone. If there's anyone I think who deserves a second chance life, it is Jonghyun.
엄청난 팬은 아니었지만.. 너무 슬프다.. 😭 R.I.P. ..
We loved you and will always love you. Thank you for being with us. 수고했어요 정말 고생했어요
Rest in peace you angel. You were too beautiful for this cruel world. We will always remember and love you ❤
I'm in tears
God this song is my fav also i think he was singing to himself like this song is for him. Rest in paradise you were truly an amazing artist. I hope you feel happy.
i love this song! its so heartbreakingly sad. everyone should check out his live performance for this song, its beautiful
i agree!! everybody needs to see that performance at least once.
thesupperkittylover now it's more hurt than ever.... Really2 hurt
I love this masterpiece.. Jonghyun your song is so intriguing and soulful. You bare all of yourself through your music till you lost yourself. You are talking to yourself and was crying towards the end. I am still shocked - Rest In Peace. 🙏

Rip to such an angel i hope he is happy where he is right now.
I think he was crying while recording this😭 if you listen with headphones, almost at the end you can hear a slight sniffle💔 RIP
kikarebelde YES SOMEONE REALISED OMGGGGGG

If you need to talk, I'm here
read his will and you may feel solace
this song literally gives me anxiety i can’t even listen to it fully through without pausing
Jonghyun is talking with himself ...
Yuri Urie that's what i was thinking ;_;
rest in peace angel
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could've told you Vincent
This world was never meant for
One as beautiful as you
This song breaks my heart.
Happy birthday, shinin’. You did well.
I love this song I love singing to it and I love it because I am just like Jonghyun his songs have gotten me through a lot and when I heard that he was gone I didn't want to believe it at first then it was real I locked myself in my room, played his songs and cried I couldn't stop my tears from falling and knowing that I will never get another email saying he put out a new song hurts more then anything the pain I couldn't get ride of or forget about came rushing through my body I just fell to the floor and started crying I wanted this not to be true so badly but it is real and I thought I couldn't take it anymore but I saw a picture of him smiling and it made me think twice about things :) :( I will miss him so much but I still have him in my heart so he is not far I love you Jonghyun so so much you did well really really well I am so sorry that you hurt this much I really really wish I could have done something but I am just one girl and I was half way across the world when it happened... You did well Jonghyun you really did, Thank you so much for everything for just having you in my life thank you *crying* R.I.P once again I love you and you did well😭♥
stay strong! jonghyun would never have wanted you to be sad :)
I dont think it's hello he means... it's goodbye
Mia Sarah yeah but you can also insah goodbye
He might mean hello in the sense of "hello this is me" he put on this face in front of fans and he's showing us this side of him so it's like we just met
I thought it was goodbye too
THIS!!! THIS SONG IS EVERYTHING JONGHYUN YOU DID WELL BABY
I miss you😭😭😭😭
Please come back😭😭😭😭
This isn't a song...it's a suicide note with a melody
You did well,
Rest in piece now, angel.
I'm sorry Junghyun. You are loved
This is my fave song from the album and I just read the lyrics for the first time....fuck
Un ángel de dios este niño❤

Why did I decide to listen to this now? T_T
The world was too cruel to such a beatiful soul..
This didn't have to happen: perhaps a different country, a different culture, where he could have been himself and had a lover or partner to help him, someone to go home to other than his dog, and professional help to get him through the dark & difficult days.

a month baby, a month that will go on to be an eternity. I miss you, I love you ❤️ Rest In Peace angel, you always did well
Sry sry so much... It's heartbreaking can't stop tears.. We sry nd we luv u alwayz jonghyun..
OMG THE LYRICS !!😭💚
Era un gran talento y con un futuro brillante 😢😢😢😢pero no pudo más de angustia y depresión.
😭😭😭💦🥀
بك تبدأ الحياه ..وبك تنتهي .
لاعيش هذا الالم وحيده ..بدونك وحيده بدون احباء ...بدون امال ..بدون احلام تنسج من جديد في كل حين .
الهف لذكرك ..لاتبعك والقلب يخفق بسرعه من اجلك .
افتقدك ...افتقدك .افتقد الموت الذي لايأمل مني بشئ .
جون طال بعدك فهل من انتظار اخر ؟؟؟😭😭
😭😭😭💦🥀
3:22 ...if you listen closely, you can hear...he’s crying 😞
I miss you so much..this life is so painful and i'm so sorry you were alone with your pain...rest in peace angel we will see each other soon
rest in peace my angel. stay strong to shawols and shinee
I really feel like he wrote this song to himself, as if this song is to exemplify all of things going on in his head. It's so tragic, I'm sorry we couldn't help you when you were hurting the most, Jonghyun.
종현아 너 보고싶어서 죽을꺼같아.
첫눈오면 올꺼야?
니가 너무 그리워
나 어떻해 ㅜㅠ
I miss you really bad oppa . Now you can rest in peace and you can sleep as long as you want oppa ... 😭😭
Jonghyun-ah,
I wish I could've helped you with your loneliness.
I wish you were still with us.
I wish someone noticed earlier.
I wish you would have believed in yourself more.
I miss you.
But now I hope you are at peace and I hope you know that SHINee loves you, Shawols love you and I love you.
You did well.
I play this everyday
how much he must feel pain and strugle every day to write it .its just hurt .its been 1 months and im still lost ...
This song and video is absolutely beautiful!!
This song is an original! It was originally released for/on his show Monthly Live Connection last year. He never released this song on any album.
ah okay thanks. He always writes such beautiful songs!
the song is in his 2nd song collection, story op.2 :)
He did release the song in his album "Story Op. 2". It's the same album that has "Lonely" featuring Taeyeon. It's my favorite Jonghyun album.
Так жалко что этот человек не напишет больше ни одной песни...
You did awesome, my love...
well shit, as someone who has been fighting with depression for years now, these lyrics and song were like a ton of bricks. In a way its funny, I never really thought about it, but as soon as I saw the lyrics my instant reaction was, oh yeah elevators will get you, this small space with your reflection everywhere, and you see how strange your face is and youre not even sure if you know this person anymore.
