April 25, 2025 - epikhigh on tiktok - Tablo talks about Stop the Rain, his new song with RM

We wanted two things with the song: 1. We wanted to do something completely starkly different from All Day and 2. we wanted to have elements in there that connect the both of our music worlds. We also discussed common threads between Tablo’s music and RM’s music and we landed on the theme of rain.

RM actually recorded the song right before his enlistment so many of you may wonder why I held on to it for so long, why I didn’t just drop it. When we were making the song, we were so into it that I didn’t realize we were writing such personal lyrics. It was only after he left and I kept listening to it that I realized that it kind of feels like looking at pages out of our journals. And if it was just my journal, I would have no problem revealing it, but RM’s journal is a different story.

Hello! Of course, I can!

So, considering the genius mind of Yoongi, the use of 하리 actually has pretty poetic meaning (not an uncommon coincidence). It is a softer use of 하다 and 해 and can make something feel deeper. I also checked out the rest of the song, and it is very very poetic! There are even some lines from the Bible / Qur’an. 

HOWEVER! There is another grammatical point to consider! By attaching -리 to a verb, it creates the intentive future tense and replaces -ㄹ/을게요; which means it’s a more traditional use of the particle as it’s only really used with older folks in Korea. 

Here are some examples:

1. 내일 하리다 - I will do it tomorrow

2. 밤에 먹으리다 - I will eat it at night

3. 이따가 잠깐 들르리다 - I will stop by later for a minute 

In the context of the song:

그대의 창조와 삶의 끝에 함께 하리

그대 - you

의 - possessive particle (you, my, his, etc)

창조(하다) - creation (to create)

삶 - life / existence

끝(나다) - end (to end)

함게 - together

그대의 자리가 어딜지라도 관대 하리

자리 - place / space

어딜지라 - wherever

관대 - welcome (this is like a feeling)

결국 시련의 끝에 만개하리

결국 - eventually

시련 - trials / hardships

만개(하다) - full bloom (to be at full bloom)

시작은 미약할지언정 끝은 창대하리

시작(하다) - start / beginning (to start / beginning)

미약(하다) - weak / humble (to be weak / humble)

-ㄹ지언정 - seems / even though

창대(하다) - prosper (to prosper)

Translation:

May creation be with you until the end of your life

Wherever you are, the space will welcome you

At the end of the hardships, it will be in full bloom

Even though your beginnings will be humble, your future will be prosperous

*the last line is from the book of Job

So, Yoongi utilizes both meanings of 하리 and -리 intentive future tense. 

I hope this helped! Happy Learning :)

nothing but pure love in those crescent moons
