This song is so hard vocally to sing. There are so many techniques used here. Taemin did a good job and it’s really a push to show how amazing of a singer Taemin is.
You just can't understand how deep this song is. He struggle so much since debut, and when his sing this song he just put his naked soul in every word.
The lyrics allude to the myth of Icarus, who was burnt by the sun because of flying to close to it. Icarus is often used as a symbol of a person who is too passionate and gets destroyed by their own passion, or of a dreamer who flies too far from the reality.
I really recommend Love from the Move album! It's one of my all time favourite Taemin B-sides! It was also meant to be the main single pushed by Lee Soo-man but Taemin settled on Move, defying LSM's wishes.
Rise is inspired by The Fall of Icarus, the Korean title is Icarus. I'm not sure but I don't think it's about fans, I think it might be somehow related to Soldier lyrics, like it's about something personal
Thank you for sharing about the Korean translation 💜 Rise is very deep and personal and sounds like many of Taemin's songs that are inspired by his love of God. So beautiful and inspiring.
It’s ok not to resonate with every song. Especially songs of this kind, which I categorize as soulful, ethereal ballads, with multidimensional, poetic lyrics… It’s not an easy listening, not a song to which you just bob your head… Ultimately it comes to our personal experiences whether we relate to particular art or not - especially music. For me Rise is absolutely special. Like I said it’s ethereal and poetic - both in music layer and In the lyrics. And the way Taemin’s voice corresponds with this mood is just so breathtakingly beautiful… Thank you for your honest reaction Aaron. I’m sure you will enjoy the live performance even if you didn’t fully vibe with the song.
I like your comment very much. If I didn’t knew the Korean title of this song I’d have a hard time truly understanding the lyrics too. Because it’s tensible how the song is very important to him as an artist tho I was still able to get the massive emotions behind this song. I also don’t think it’s about anything external. It must be something very personal too. I remember how difficult it was to me to understand the connection between 2 kids, criminal and idea. I had to watch many interpretations and still couldn’t really relate. Then after listening to them over and over again and reading the lyrics several times I finally kinda feel what’s it about. Not to relate immediately to his songs is, at least for me, an evidence of his great complex artistry.
Taemin has the most beautiful and meaningful lyrics in his ballads . I can often associate them with Japanese haiku poetry and combined with his voice and music is just pure art , on another level .
About the song, I think it's something personal but it can reach anyone who is in a moment of weakness and need a little strength. For someone who is kind of down, this song can reach them much stronger. Many times Taemin said that the fans are his motivation and his strength. Or his friends or loved ones, so he could be singing about either. I think 'Rise' is a song to shed a few tears when you're down haha it's a super nice to listen sometimes. Although I love Taemin's songs, it would be nice that every once in a while we can enjoy some of his live performances with you, because above all Taemin is an artist who thinks about his songs from the performance side and the interpretation of the lyrics. We could say that he is a Showman. Songs like these I think are more enjoyable on live stages, but like I said, when you're a little down it's a song that hurts but helps, at least personally. On another note, I hope one day you will react to Mystery Lover, Shadow, Impressionable, Waiting for, Eclipse or Exclusive (jp. version) to name some songs. They are some I think you are going to like ❤ Thank you for the reaction!
Next "Shadow", so you can see the live performance of "Shadow, Guess Who & Sexuality". Still can't forget the transition from Guess Who to Sexuality because its so 🔥🔥 And I hope you react to "Mystery Lover", "Until Today" "Back to You" & "Play Me". There are so many good songs from Taemin that you still haven't heard yet •~•
Cada vez estoy más convencida de la calidad vocal de Taemin, aunque a él no solo hay que escucharlo!! Verlo es todo arte. Gracias porreaccionar a esta canción, me encantó!!!
The Korean title is Icarus, so it’s about the greek myth of Icarus and his wax wings.. his father had instructed him to fly not too high or too low, to avoid the sea’s dampness and the sun’s heat. Icarus ignores the advice flies too close to the sun, causing his wax wings to melt, and he falls into the see and drowns. Hence the idom “don’t fly too close to the sun”
This is just my interpretation since I don't remember his explanation from so many years ago but I have a feeling this song could easily be about his fan support etc.
Aaron gracias por fin RISE ❤❤pliss reacciona .SNOW FLOWER .Dingo Music PLAY ME . MONOLOGO ALREADY .. JONGHYUN la compuso y le hace el coro. Es hermosa ❤️❤️❤️
Always grateful for the Taemin content you put out, but once again I think it would be great if you would research the meaning behind the songs. I think finding some background info would be quite easy thanks to lovely fans! I think you will be able to understand and appreciate Taemin's artistry so much more with all the components behind his music :) I think only then can you analyze it properly as well,
Could you please react to the song called ‘IU Old Love’? IU covered this song 11 years ago and you can find how beautiful and young IU was at the moment. If you typed ‘IU Old Love’, you would find the video from KBS which has 2.4M views.

The performance of the * Tour Sirius Concert 2018 * is impressive. Taemin is wonderful, he can touch the soul.
Rise is one of my favorite all time songs. It's just beautiful in so many ways.
The lyrics allude to the myth of Icarus, who was burnt by the sun because of flying to close to it. Icarus is often used as a symbol of a person who is too passionate and gets destroyed by their own passion, or of a dreamer who flies too far from the reality.
He has so much emotion and expression in his voice -- He sounds like he is yearning for so much in this. Sweet Taemin
Taemin is now a vocal powerhouse. I'm so proud of how he has progressed as a vocalist. He is indeed one of the best soloist out there.
The live performance of this song is just awesome! Flexing his vocals..i miss Taemin!
In this song, Taemin is Icarus but never falling down.
He has a unique voice and great potential; plus he's a gorgeous captivating dancer
I really recommend Love from the Move album! It's one of my all time favourite Taemin B-sides! It was also meant to be the main single pushed by Lee Soo-man but Taemin settled on Move, defying LSM's wishes.
This is, my favorite Taemin song, it really is
I always think watching a performance of his song helps see the emotions of a person. Thank you so much dear can't wait for more taemin.
When I saw Taemin's name, can't resist, always better with performance cause he interpret the song better.
For me, it is amazing how you can feel everything he's saying, even without seeing an actual performance... What an artist!
the lyrics of this song is somehow inspired by the greek legend of icarus , and i truly fell the emotions that taemin put in his vocals, a masterpiece
I love the song. It feels like an anthem.

This is my taemin’s favorite song..❤️
Aaron went to "i didn't like this guy" while watching Super M teaser to the biggest fanboy of Taemin
And that's beautiful.
Words can't express how much I love this song

Aaron please watch Taemin Flame of love dance version. It's one of the most beautiful performances ever!!
Taemin is a true legend 💯🔥✨
the performance Soldier & Rise with the backup dancer is fire. somewhat similar to Just Me And You vcr, where the other dancer represents him
