IU是我在看了Hotle Del Luna後才認識的韓星
剛看的時候就是覺得這女孩也太會演
要嗆辣有嗆辣，要柔情有柔情

在看完大作後，去搜尋看她還有什麼劇的時候
才知道原來她是人氣最高的個人女歌手之一啊
演那麼好，居然不是本行…實在令人驚訝

在看了她的歌唱介紹後
也才知道她是詞曲創作型歌手
根本才女一枚

最近發行了最新歌曲「8」
一開始聽，單單聽旋律就是首輕快活潑的歌
但在往下看留言時發現…
為什麼那麼多人在說越聽越難過
幾乎每個留言裡都有sad這個字

後來重覆看了歌詞跟動畫的編排
這才都明白了…

這是首IU致意逝世的三位好友：鐘鉉Jong-hyun、荷拉Hara、雪莉Sulli
三人都在憂鬱症的滋擾下離世了
輕生，是在憂鬱症患者腦中常有的聲音
但自己的毅力與身旁人的支持能一次次拉回來
但…若始終沒有康復，也無法每次都能拉得回來
憂鬱症的人很堅強也很脆弱
光是與悲傷與輕生念頭抗爭，已然用盡心力
若此時週圍的人沒注意到他的變化，甚至給予嚴厲的評判
可能就會使他的努力一夕瓦解，步上極端…

網路評論、社會與論
各種不留情面的壓力一直是這些在螢光幕前的人在默默承受的
網路縱然可以是情緒出口，但也不該成為攻擊別人的途徑

因為本身比較宅，滑滑手機時有時也會想留言
但我只留讚美的，不中意的就只是滑過，沒有多說的必要
而看到用詞較極端評判的，也會主動留言制止…其實這個動作還蠻多人在做的
可能是怕一個不小心，自己關注的人就這麼殞逝吧

亂黑的通常都會有人來制止，勸說不喜歡可以不要留言，滑走就好…
隔著螢幕，我們不是當事人的誰，但留下的字句，若他在的話，則會侵蝕心靈
一般他們收到的是讚賞，所以有負面話語時他們很難不注意、不去在意
所以既然公眾人物除了帶給我們愉樂外，我們不是他們的誰，實在沒必要去中傷他們…

希望社會能更多包容、關愛跟友善
不要任意掀起撻伐聲浪才是…

你們現在幸福了嗎？
IU - Eight

下面是兩位留言的網所闡述的歌詞詞義：

ツstarryblink

The theory is very simple
This song is about IU's lost friends : Sulli, Jonghyun and Hara
The girl in white is Sulli, u can notice how similiar to sulli she looks like
The lizard is Hara and the Dragon is Jonghyun

You can see how scared and lonely the dragon, the girl in white and the lizard felt in the storm
I think the storm represents the reasons that pushed sulli, hara and Jonghyun to suicide
Then the girl who represents sulli jumps off the cliff and lands on the dragon after the storm they fly together in the sky

This all was happening in IU's dream, when she wakes up she drops a tear because she definitely misses them but she knows they are happy in peace
IU can only meet them in her dreams which is the reason why she doesn't want to wake up
She wants to go back to her younger self basically in the past so she can be with them again and maybe give them a goodbye because they didn't get the chance to say goodbye to iu

K-pop for life

This song was written for Jonghyun and Sulli,
the lyrics "Are you happy now?" is for the haters that made them feel bad and wanna die.
The dragon in the mv is Jonghyun and the girl with white dress is Sulli.
The sentence on the computer when the song started was "Do you want to remember old memories?" in korean and IU clicked "Yes".
The name of this song is 8, Jonghyun's birthday is 8 April, IU and Sulli's friendship is 8 years...
