The other day I found this very interesting video on YouTube about a musician who has a condition called Synthesia.
It's basically where they have a hyper sensitivity to different stimuli. In many people's cases, this is to sound. She sees different colors which correspond to different music notes she hears.
Here is the video below:

As I was watching this video, I thought about the song by SHINee called View.
It's a very upbeat song with the lyrics written by the late, Kim Jonghyun. He was one of the vocalists with SHINee until he recently passed away. He also wrote and composed many beautiful songs.
Kim Jonghyun himself tells the story of how and why he wrote this song in the video below.
I think it is best to hear his words.

Now that I understand a bit more about what this condition is, the lyrics make a lot more sense to me. I liked the song from the first time I heard it and now, it's been better.
Here are the lyrics below in the original Korean and English translation.

모두 할 말을 잃지 Like you
4차원 이상의 기적의 View
달콤히 찍어 문 빛의 퐁듀
보이기 시작한 음의 색도
예민해진 걸 느껴
뚜렷한 색감과
여섯 번째 감각 Tonight is the night
좀 거칠어도 좋아
더 민감히 굴어봐
더는 숨기지 말아줘
너무 아름다운 다운 다운 다운 View
너무 아름다운 다운 다운 다운 View
더 보여줘 다음 다음 다음 다음 View
너무 아름다운 다운 다운 다운 View
너무 아름다운 (그곳으로)
너무 아름다운 (데려가 줘)
더 보여줘 다음 (더 보여줘)
너무 아름다운 다운 다운 다운 View
저 하늘을 곱게 접는
이 바다를 병에 담는 시간도
편히 걷는 꿈들을 이뤄 난 (By my side)
[종/태] 상상한 게 뭐든 전부 보여 줄게
[종/태] 이제 말해봐 Yeah yeah
[온/키] 예민해진 걸 느껴
[온/키] 은근한 촉감과
끝없어진 감각 Tonight is the night
[온/민] 이상하대도 좋아(Yeah)
잠들었던 감각의 (You are)
한계를 넘어선 그 순간
Yeah yeah yeah
너무 아름다운 다운 다운 다운 View
너무 아름다운 다운 다운 다운 View (더 새롭게 날 홀려)
더 보여줘 다음 다음 다음 다음 View
너무 아름다운 다운 다운 다운 View (Oh girl)
너무 아름다운 (그곳으로)
너무 아름다운 (데려가 줘)
더 보여줘 다음 (더 보여줘) (Oh 더 보여줘)
너무 아름다운 다운 다운 다운 View
(Never leave you lonely)
지루함에 익숙해져
특별함을 잊었잖아
이제 천천히 고개를 들어 줘
내 두 눈에 입 맞춰
너무 아름다운
그곳으로
너무 아름다운 (그곳으로)
데려가 줘 (데려가 줘)
[온/민] 누구든 처음이겠지 Like you
(I feel a thousand senses)
[온/민] 별빛의 향과 맛을 본 것도
(I’ll never leave you lonely)
향기의 무게를 느낀 것도
(I won’t let you down)
소리의 색과 모양 본 것도
Everyone is lost for words like you
Beyond fourth dimensional, a miraculous view
Sweetly dip it in and eat the fondue of light
You can start seeing the color of the music
I feel that you’ve become sensitive
A clear color
And the sixth sense, tonight is the night
It’s alright if it’s a bit rough
Act more sensitive
Don’t hide it anymore
Such a beautiful view
Such a beautiful view
Show me more, the next view
Such a beautiful view
Such a beautiful view (To that place)
Such a beautiful view (Take me)
Show me more, the next view (Show me more)
Such a beautiful view
The sky is beautifully spread
In the ocean, time is in a bottle
I dream of peacefully walking (By my side)
Whatever it is you imagined, I’ll show you everything
Now tell me yeah yeah
I feel that you’ve become sensitive
The soft touch
And endless senses, tonight is the night
It’s alright if it’s weird
The moment you pass the limit
Of your sleeping senses
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Such a beautiful view
Such a beautiful view
Show me more, the next view
Such a beautiful view
Such a beautiful view (To that place)
Such a beautiful view (Take me)
Show me more, the next view (Show me more)
Such a beautiful view
(Never leave you lonely)
You were so used to being bored
You forgot about the specialness
Now slowly lift your head
Kiss me on my eyes
To that
Beautiful place
Take me to
That beautiful place
It’ll be the first time for anyone, like you
(I feel a thousand senses)
Smelling and tasting the star light
(I’ll never leave you lonely)
Feeling the weight of the scent
(I won’t let you down)
Seeing the color and shape of sounds
I hope that this post helps others appreciate this song even more as well as other songs of SHINee.
