[@melodic_divya]

Day6!! You guys are incredible musicians, thank you for putting your hearts and souls into making beautiful music for everyone to hear every day. Day6 music has been with me through all kinds of situations throughout my life both good and bad, and it has helped me get through all kinds of things. Seeing you live last year was absolutely the best concert I have ever been to, and it was one of the happiest days of my life. I had so much fun and I felt every emotion in every song, and it was incredible. Thank you Day6, thank you for inspiring me to be a better singer and musician. Thank you for all of your wonderful music. Thank you for supporting me through all the good and bad times. Mydays will always be here support you guys, take your time, we love you so much. ❤️❤️❤️

[@kd2971]

Our bois are doing better so I feel relieved. We are here for you.

[@sthzhnn1536]

Dear Day6, Our superband who give us music that become our strength, thank you. Thank you so much for always be there for us and give us good music, good companion, good concert, good advice and good words. Like what you boys said, relationship that we had is one of the purest where all we want is just to give things to each other. But just like what our leader said, please no more say sorry, let's thankful each other instead. My Days will stay here forever supporting Day6, so my boys take all the time you need, rest well. Stay healthy and happy for Day6 and all My Days around the world! Let's meet once the condition is better and nappeun corona is gone.

[@veeveegem]

DAY6, you've been with me for the past five years which were the most turbulent times of my youth. You've picked me up when I was down, accompanied me in starting over again, celebrated with me in my ups, and cheered for me every time the cycle repeated. Too bad I could not physically express my gratitude but know that I have always been praying for your well-being and safety. This too shall pass. Take all the time that you need to recuperate. Don't be hasty, let your self heal naturally. I and the rest of the MyDays will happily wait for you until all of you are ready to come back. I love you and I am immensely proud of your courage to choose health, to choose yourself, to choose happiness.

[@keisix03]

DAY6, thank you so much for all the things that you have done for us, especially your great and amazing music. You already did so many things for us, so it's time for us to do the same for you. Just take your time, guys. We will always be here for you. Don't forget to always stay healthy and happy!!

[@kb124]

The English version is written so well and almost holds a different feeling where the k version feels like you’ve lost something and the English is like just emptiness

[@yunelle]

the english version wasn't translated, it written from scratch by young k (+ some help from jae) :)

[@acrojen03]

@@yunelle Wasn't it written by Wonpil and Young K? (If you go on the album sampler video, then I am pretty sure that is what it says... unless I have misunderstood?)

[@honestlyidk8112]

On the whole I think I like the korean ver more but the English one really hits me in the feels, idk if it’s bec I understand the language or that the lyrics are slightly different. But yeah, the feeling you get from each is different

[@naomi-jh8nj]

man the english version... i cannot listen to it because it really drags me into the dark cjhkhudhvsk

[@Anisian]

"It's interesting how they said 'this meaningless life' with such a rich vocal harmony as if there's so much going on, but it doesn't really amount to anything" wow that really hits differently, glad to know that not only the lyrics hit hard but the song structure does too!

[@nataliebenjamien4547]

Yeah, im also suprised when they point that, that sooo make sense, i just wondering why this song give me such a deep impact. This song is much 'richer' than i thought not just melodies n lyrics, but it is the whole structure of the song if i can say it is a perfect build kind a song. Geeez i dont know what im talking about :))

[@danamarie5845]

It also hit me hard when the guy talked about how it feels so right to have that modulation before the last chorus because they "asked" for permission to cry during the bridge...and that modulation symbolizes those intensely repressed emotions finally coming out.

[@ohyouaremyday]

it was such a 🤯 moment

[@viv6700]

that hit hard for me too :-( i saw it as being so wrapped up in being sad that you put meaning into the meaninglessness. the feeling of needing to be sad because you don’t know how to exist in any other way. :-,(

[@crystalKrystal]

When Umu said, this is a crying song, I was like, I cried a river over this song. 😭😭😭

[@threem43]

I had the exact same reaction 🥺

Same 💜

[@jrmnrm915]

[@lukeplushiesupremacy5945]

Someone also pointed out that the last line of the chorus repeats the word 살아 which means 'live', so Day6 is telling us that even though everything seems meaningless we need to keep living

[@birdeynamnam]

Oh wow, that adds so much

[@zheke_music]

*i really like the outro of this song because it's not your typical day6 outro, it just shows how the guys intended it to be a sad song and it shows what they've been going through* *plus the english version makes me a mess*

[@ian-dr4lg]

umu: is this gonna be funky ?? me: oh no...very far from that : (

[@skyewalker5176]

Me: Oh honey no

[@erke5895]

Me: Hold my tissue baby

[@blaccore]

lmao after she said that and then young k started singing, umu be like: *anna oop-*

[@chewychwi]

Idk if I'm remembering correctly but i think the members also said in an interview that even though this is a sad song that shows how we feel empty as we struggle daily, they wanted everyone to be comforted somehow ㅠㅠ after watching this reaction, i now understand how it could be comforting, knowing that you can let out your feelings in a song no matter how empty you feel ㅠㅠㅠㅠ thank you day6 and thank you guys for reacting to this

[@day7645]

Day6 is not your typical group who only talks about love and heartbreak.

[@jess-tp8xk]

they have at least 10 songs on love and heartbreak.....💀

[@day7645]

@@jess-tp8xk They actually have a lot, but most of it either hides the meaning or can be expressed in a different way.

[@sleinar]

It really is a crying song. So many have cried to this since its release. Continued to cry while the song was on repeat. Love how you both breakdown the songs for us. Makes me appreciate Day6’s songwriting abilities so much more. Thank you!

[@RyeokiHaruma]

When umu said "it's so hard to maybe find meaning sometimes if you can't see it, but it's probably there still" I felt that yo 😢 Rly made me realize there is always something, always a reason to keep going. Its okay if u cant find it now too, it doesnt even have to be anything big, it can be the most trivial thing. Well brb gotta continue streaming n cry some more lol

[@prodngty]

"YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO????" lmao umu said stream zombie guys

[@doobydoba]

In an interview, Jae and Young K mentioned how much they had liked Sunflower (by Post) and how both of them couldn't stop listening to it. It's possible that they could've taken inspiration from that song since both of them loved the song and the movie.

"It's so hard to maybe find meaning sometimes it's if you can't see it, It's probably there still. You know? Like there will always be some sort of reason or meaning to find to make your days better or to keep living life. " - Umu 😭

[@skyewalker5176]

It's so interesting that the melody rises but the lyrics don't reflect that. It started off so sparse it almose made me nervous. Also the texture change, Sungjin's bridge and the modulation messed me UP. Also i am STILL in my feels about this album (Afraid is 😣)

[@jera9465]

I dont know anything about music. And I 'm happy to learn from you guys how Day6 beautifully make this song. The way you put meaning to its instruments( the ascending pattern with the need to move forward in living our life) Thank you

[@nazaleakusuma511]

Oh this song. I'm sorry this is gonna be long. The first time I listened to this up until the chorus I was kinda let down because it kinda felt like nothing was really going on? Then the texture change happened, then harmony, bridge, modulation, then the ending and it was kinda better. THEN I HAD ENGLISH CAPTION ON and it all made sense. As someone with depression, one line in and I was already like, oh ok I got it. Henry said something about "meaningless life" part having rich harmony interpreted as "so much going on but amounts to nothing", which is interesting. For me, it somehow read as just....almost literally everybody feels this way yet we all still feel so solitary. But how the song ends!!! With the vocals and the instrumentals, it doesn't even sound like it really has a....resolution? It wants to reach towards something, it sounds like it longs for catharsis but it never gets there. I guess that's the vibe they're going for? Along with how the song has a driving, rolling beat of percussion with the lyrics being like that? Life keeps going and happening no matter how shitty we feel, I guess. The scene in the MV where the actor is on a bridge over traffic scares the shit out of me, though, because it could've gone so differently.

[@nazaleakusuma511]

Can u tell I'm a writer and not a musician

[@AlonsoYara]

Wow, you definitely are a writer but I agree on all points.

[@nasanerd2009]

Oh geez, I thought I was the only one who got nervous about the bridge scene.

[@nazaleakusuma511]

@@nasanerd2009 that scene hits different when you've contemplated the same thing ha

[@mingming4983]

... same. The overpass/bridge scene gave me a stomach cramp. I've been there before, so knowing what the lyrics mean plus the symbolism of the scenes. It's painful but being able to watch it is progress, I guess.

[@aisharane]

I love the animal emojis on the piano to delineate the band members 👌❤️😂

[@natasyaprima7549]

Wow Henry was right, on dowoon's vlive today, he said that "the hyungs were inspired by post malone's sounds (while doing zombie)"

[@Samikpop]

What I love about their music is how relatable it is and this one is another one. We all live a life with the same pattern everyday and we will eventually become like a “zombie” with the ongoing pattern.

[@prodngty]

"oh this is a crying song" hell yeah it does, but wait till u hear the whole album

[@floatyredballoon]

If I hear this song at the wrong time of day I will straight up start crying. It really hits too close to home

Ohmaigod, I’ve been waiting for this since day 1. Can’t wait for the whole album review too!!

[@pjsungie3206]

the build up that you explained changes everything. i thought this was gonna be one of the only day6 songs that makes me sad, but i guess they've gotta have a little hope still.

I'M LITERALLY WAITING YOU TO REACT THIS MASTERPIECE. THANKYOOOUU

[@emilyoberg3322]

When I first heard the song, I was like “omg modulation!!”, I would never have known what a modulation even was without watching this channel 😂

[@damndanial492]

what does it mean tho? mind to explain? huhu

[@emilyoberg3322]

beastmaster17 beastmaster17 personally, I have no musical background whatsoever so I wouldn’t be able to explain this properly, but at 7:22 in the video is where it occurs, 11:14 points it out again. The best I can explain it is that it’s a change in tone/key, but I’m prob not completely correct. At this point I’ve watched their videos so much that I just recognize when a modulation occurs in a song even tho I can’t explain it correctly 😂

[@hallikwin3373]

There's an English version and somehow it hits differently 😭

[@youtubeuser9693]

Yeah, I feel like this version is more hopeful. The English one is like... "oh well, there's nothing that can cure me". I like both though

[@fankyfashionmonkey]

I didn't know this before but when umu said even if you can't see change its probably still there, and I guess the subtle changing in the music does show that even if it seems the same its not

Ever since I started watching your videos I find myself listening to music differently. I'm listening to the different instruments and they way they blend together and the subtle things happening in the background. Thanks for breaking things down for us. I don't have an ear for listening. So knowing what to notice helps. Also, this Day6 album had me in my feels the entire ride. It still does.i can't listen enough.

The ‘scarecrow without a brain inside’ korean lyrics translates literally to ‘scarecrow without thoughts’ idk it just hits more when you understand the korean lyrics. Sometimes I forgot the musicians I turn to for comfort are also human. I wish only the best to all of day6❤️ Someday, we will heal❤️

[@wannagoback3739]

The high quality reaction

[@Landrobje]

I just want to say that this song hit hard for me. It's so beautiful, and it described perfectly how I've been feeling this past half year (or maybe even longer). I've been feeling like my life is rushing by, but I'm not really moving forward. I feel empty and feel like I'm always stuck in one place. I cried when listening to it the first time, but now it's more comforting to me. It's like a warm hug, telling me it's okay to feel like this, and encouraging me to take this with me and grow stronger. I love it, and I wish a lot of strength for Day6 to overcome their current health issues. They're doing so good, and they can take all the time they need. I'd rather wait and have a healthy, happy Day6 than have them push themselves beyond a breaking point💕💕💕

[@dearcomrade2358]

umu, i am begging, are you aware of this band called hoppipolla? they joined jtbc's super band and won!!! they have a CELLIST, an acoustic guitarist, and two amazing vocalists who sometimes play the piano. please please please check out their song ABOUT TIME and their SPRING TO SPRING EP. i am very positive you will fall in love with them.

[@annacheang5560]

HAHAHHAA thank you henry for not watching the mv the first time so we got treated to a third viewing of it! this mv and song are just really so emotionally charged and i rly rly rly love this comeback!

[@xoyumexo675]

"This is a crying song" It is ... 5 months later and here I am still crying my heart out

[@edamammy7]

I'm really late to this, and I don't know if Umu or Henry will see this, but I felt that the upward movement in the melodic progression and even the textural shifts were not necessarily reflecting on the song's hopefulness, but rather a feeling of release--that the only way to cope with these emotions is to let them out, and even if they are very sad and heartbreaking feelings, sometimes saying them out and just having an outlet to express them is cathartic and can bring some form of relief. That's definitely how I read that movement, especially in line with Henry's comment that the big textural shift in the instrumental comes after you first hear the line "close my eyes", like that was a relief. And when you hear that final line again sang by Jae at the end, the instrumental is so much sparser and quieter with just the natural-sounding piano, it feels a lot more sad and resigned, as if the narrator, after expunging all the emotions, finally comes to accept that they must just keep going through this cycle. I loved how that same line felt so different when it was sang differently and accompanied with different instrumentals.

[@mafer_fg]

I love how all the songs in the album tell a story, I personally love how Zombie and Afraid are kind of connected, since Afraid is about don't wanting to convert a loved one into your infected self

[@tsukisakura1]

The best thing about this song is that it can hit home for everyone.. especially in this time of staying home where we lose ourselves in our minds in the timelessness of these days.

[@DeeRafatSweileh]

The way I cried the ugliest tears. It hits too hard when you are actually in that state of being a zombie. Though I related to this song too hard.. I couldn't help but immediately feel like something's wrong with them. So I was really happy to hear they took a break for the sake of their mental health.

THAT'S IT a ritardando was exactly what i was expecting for at the end. And when it never came (they didn't slowed down plus they ended the song a bit abruptly) it just didn't felt right, at least not on the first couple times I listened the song. Anyways, i loved the song. It was exactly what i needed to hear.

[@ian-dr4lg]

the lyrics definitely played a big role on the song because we can all relate to it ++ YES THAT MODULATION CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD TOO and i think last part of the song is actually better than having the last big breakdown bc it brings so much more emptiness from it .
