When artists of equal measure combine, a perfect performance is born.

IU By the Stream feat. Jung Jae-il Live on JTBC Reaction (A PERFECT PERFORMANCE!!)

Comments

Since I'm late I can add that Jung Jae-il is scoring for the movie Broker which IU is acting in. IU did say that this is her best performance and she was very satisfied with. Thus is one of my favourite IU song. She sang with such feeling without the theatrical, just like a stream that can revive a parched tree.

Tors1e: thank you for the continued brilliant takes on IU's songs! I did find the official link at Singapore group provides. It is: https://fb.watch/bxJiinaN7R/ This version includes a 60-90 second "teaser" for the show (which I deleted in the version I provided). And here's their link for the 85 minute Joy of Conversation: https://www.facebook.com/sgheartiu/posts/1180521412123271?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARDU4gyOcp0F8wfptg0tGqyIhWRLrKFjqNTBLleBuveKjFecergrWaDoRG1cHT8tM-OYsW88o-E3gyDdVUMKbNeo3Qpd26YhgojMZ3IWzejJKQD8FYJvx6PN_DPD9RWFN6YJiEGF6rxyNQO1E6veaXxaKoUeyt_HbDYJP2ozjDtFZFmmeuPWBsyjfbSFPpsM7w7lijF3lfXm9o-AEeTdVORhWOUVjdZ667FcVXo08gyCM-rxH8uAbPj8xBXHjvAySJQ_TeBeg2ohLR59ejZFRCecaJa3qGNX8p-pTgge_jFuUs2jNCkK4PrqYnMnp2pRXeP8pV1fy1pJHNfZi_1PLQ&__tn__=-R

Mmm, I love that - producing music for the sake of the music. That's why her work is always so meaningful, she's serving the song, not herself or the charts. Beautiful artist 💖

I just said, "WHAAAAT?!" out loud and to absolutely nobody, because I didn't realise what a power house Jung Jae-il was (is) -- holy smokes!! I would like to redouble all of my comments about IU working with the people she deserves. Also, what a ringing endorsement of her talent that he wants to work with her in return. Amazing!

TORS1E

Oh that's fantastic, thank you so much Mathew!

TORS1E

Hi Mariella, I’m so sorry! I just DM-d you — I’m sure we can fix the issue

By the way, what an exquisite reaction!

This is absolutely a master piece of artwork and my favorite IU’s song as well. The harmony and dialogue among piano, cello and IU’s vocal is classic, beautiful and so many turns like the bending stream. I am absorbed by the built up of the minor to the octave, it felt sad yet hopeful with IU’s soft tone. IU is an admirable artist, she is willing to produce music for the sake of music even it is not the major kpop popularity. Her music is so versatile and down to the ground of Korea. It makes a foreigner like me to read and appreciate korean culture much easier.

Torsie, I love your reactions because you share your raw emotions and clever analysis of the performance which IU truly deserves. When this show was aired, I almost screamed as it was a collaborative live performance of two of my favourite musicians. Jung Jae-il, who played the piano, arranged this remake version for IU. He was also the music director of the masterpiece film ‘Parasite’ and ‘Squid game’. No wonder why their musical presence and power fit so well together, right? He also played the piano for IU’s ‘My Sea’. Btw, IU’s control of her breath and the level of emotion she presents is so remarkable. I can really relate to you getting teary eyes after watching this!

torsie, i highly recommend this video

This performance by IU is as close to perfect as it can get. IU herself said that this was almost a perfect performance for her as well. Superb!

Torsie: The Singapore IU group did English subs for a full show on this performance. I'm traveling and am unable to find the link the IU Singapore group provided: it may have just been a download rather than YT. It was about 23 minutes long and provides history of the song (e.g. started as a poem written in about 1920), others who have sung it, commentary on IU, and the performance itself. I have it posted (secretly) at my Vimeo account. The password is 2350. Full show link: https://vimeo.com/645215671 I won't get to watch your video for about 4 days but wanted to give you this other link before I go into a meeting. Looking forward to watching your reaction here and on YT.

Mathew
