    There's a full version to this song! There's a 2nd verse and another chorus before the switch up at the end. Shadow is a very beautiful song. This song also samples the Intro from their album, O!RUL8,2?, such a cool look back to their roots.

    Suga is an admirable person, he’s never been ashamed to say publicly that he has suffered form depression and anxiety. He even commented he wanted to study psychology to try to help his fans that are struggling with those problems and use psychology and music to heal. He is amazing

  • @noona7932
    @noona7932 Před 2 lety +215

    To me, the flow switch at the end was the perspective changing to the Shadow's POV. That outro was Suga's shadow talking to him and telling him that he can't get rid of it and to just accept it.

    This is about his initial conflict with the “rap star” he envisioned himself to be since he was a kid and the “idol” he became. He came to terms that he is both and without the one there isn’t the other. All of Suga/Agust D’s music is so deep with raw emotion, his mouth opens and out flows truth.

    All of the Rap line solos from MOS: 7 remix the intros of their first thee albums. RM Intro: Persona uses Intro: Skool Luv Affair (3rd album), SUGA Interlude: Shadow uses Inrto: O?RUL8,2? (2nd album), and j-hope Outro: Ego uses Intro: 2 Cool 4 Skool (1st album). On top of using the audio remixed the MV's also use images from the original comeback trailers. I recommend watching them, it's so cool seeing how they use their older more hip-hop origins still in their visuals and sound. You can also see how far they have come.

Just like RM he’s talking from different perspectives in this one, his shadow and himself 💜 Your comments were incredible as ever! Thank you!

    This is one of my favourite songs I listen to all the time! If you haven't done so already, please react to First Love. The most emotional rap song I have ever heard in my life. His rap is so melodic, some fan-made instrumental versions added his rap as piano riff and it just fit, it made so much sense! Anyway, enjoying your channel. Loved the Hamilton event too!

  • @nicksunandmoon
    @nicksunandmoon Před 2 lety +37

    Shadow is one of the most deep songs of SUGA. I love how he talks about the ugly side of fame and his struggles as a famous person. Thnx for your reaction 💜

  • @sunshinesam6399
    @sunshinesam6399 Před 2 lety +163

    This isn’t the full song, the second verse was cut off from the mv sadly, but I love the ending when the entire song switched up with the Shadow now singing to Suga
    The sign of O!RUL8,2? refers to their second album ever. The trilogy of songs are all sampled from their older songs, which is really cool
    Please react to jhope’s Ego after this to complete the trilogy! Congrats on I Need Help btw 💜

  • @taechwita5979
    @taechwita5979 Před 2 lety +32

    Thanks Knox! I see the end like his shadow taking over and taking over the song…‘yeah you are me and I am you. We are one body and gunna clash.’ Love how he paints his inner battles. He really has struggled with fame and has a few songs about it. Loved your comments. you should hear the full song definitely 😊

    Great interpretation and such a great complex song. The imagery and cinematography blows me away and the production is crazy. The asked the 9 top mixing engineers what the hardest to mix song they had and one listed this song. He’s such a crazy writer and producer.

  • @rayofhopeee
    @rayofhopeee Před 2 lety +4

    This is my favorite song by any kpop artist and it ranks high on my list for music over all.
    He’s talking about how he had these big dreams and strove towards them but the closer he got to the light the larger his shadow grew. It’s not just that the shadow is still with him but it gets worse the more successful he is. The higher he rises the farther he has to fall, the more he has to lose. And it is so powerful when he is looking at himself on stage when the red flashes across the screen and the distortion grows as he repeats those same dreams that he had when he was younger. But now those dreams have become distorted and greedy and it’s like no matter how successful he is, that part of him still wants more. And in the end he just has to accept that both sides are a part of him no matter how he might feel about them. All he can do is accept himself and live one day at a time being the best person he can be whether he is at the top or not.
    Obviously I can’t relate to that because I’m in no way famous, but the story telling and the passion he performs this with is so tangible, I love it.

  • @lifewithyeng

  • @miiiiimiiiiiii
    @miiiiimiiiiiii Před 2 lety +4

    The way he says "Please don't let me shine" and then "Don't let me fly" could be a hint towards the fact that the more he climbs up the ladder of fame, the more his shadow grows stronger: "My shadow grows in that blasting stark light". And the way the imagery shows that he's standing on the stage in the lights of fame but only he knows what lies beneath it, the shadow.
    This reminds me of something i read somewhere that there was a time Suga had to struggle too much to perform on stage due to anxiety, and this song is the perfect representation of what it might've been for him.
    Such a genius you are Suga!

  • @bethany5301

    The red wax around the door was from an art installation. I can't remember the name of it, but the wax represented oneself, and the door represented the opportunity you have on the other side. But the wax is too big to go through the door, so you loose yourself as you gain new opportunities

Honestly, started crying after watching this video. It always hits me but something about this makes it hit more.

Their whole Map of the Soul album series was really meaningful to me. Especially about facing and accepting those parts of you (Shadow) you unconsciously hide. To hear Suga go into depth about how he struggles with fame and mental health is really inspiring to me. Just like you and your music. I Need Help is one of your best songs 100%!

    The grungy part looks like, his shadow that has consumed him and became a monster(we can see him rapping in raspy voice) is telling him that we both are same(his body and the shadow) hence "you are me" and "I am you"...it looks like his shadow is asking him to kinda admit or get used to the fame and spotlights and in the end we see him(his body) getting lost in shadows(fame etc)

I remember how I felt the first time I watched this mv, I wasn't in the best headspace then and really felt the inner struggles part, trying not letting your Shadow consume you. I love his lyricism and I hope you can also do the full lyrics for the next one Knox, flow is 🔥Thank you for more BTS, we are super appreciative of the work you put in and always in awe of your analysis. He's been really open outside of songs too into his issues with fame, he wanted to make music and be successful over starving and trying to sell his songs, but sadly the fame that came along with his desires has never been something he found easy. I'm sure one day the boys will get to see the amazing work you put into their songs!

I have never seen someone go so deep and nail BTS videos. You are so unique and knowledgeable. I had to subscribe to you...as an ARMY and a HOG fan. You are truly amazing.

    The emotions are running parallel. The shadow, his self not seen, and his public persona.
    In the end the two sides of him accept each other and he is at peace.
    Thats the theory of Karl Jung, on which the concept of MOTS 7 is based.

    Hey! There’s a new BTS song out if you’re interested in reacting to it! It’s called ‘Stay Alive’, vocals by Jungkook and produced by Suga 😊 Gorgeous song and great lyrics! It’s all related to their webtoon story but I’m sure you’d pick up on so much musically that we might not 💜

    YES FINALLY!!! I have been waiting for this reaction. This is one of my fave tracks from BTS and made Suga my ultimate bias wrecker.

    Ah awesome reaction. This song got me deep into BTS. I hadn't quite grasped the intro/interlude/outro /trailers concepts and did not Watch them at first. I got a shock with Shadow and Serendipity. Ah could you do "Born Singer" and "Hip Hop Lover" both by BTS? Awesome perfs, but no MVs. Love your videos. I think you would love "People" and "So far Away" both by Agust D. RM's "Do You" and "Seoul"! Ah I'm stuck on the Wings Album right now (going slowly through the albums in order) and I can' t get over J-Hope's "Hey Mama", but after Person and Shadow, Ego is the next step.

      Knox has actually already reacted to Hip Hop Lover and Born Singer (lyric videos) in one of his lives! They’re in the video entitled “BTS Live: Ddaeng, Cypher pt 4, You Decide” and seriously, watching his eyes go wide at all the name drops in Hip Hop Lover is like the best thing ever!

  • @gabbie4197
    @gabbie4197 Před 2 lety

    Your reactions are the best! You really understand their thought process and what they are trying to say. I also really love that you take the time to break down the lyrics, instrumentals, camera work, and take into account the video/ lyric meanings.

    Oh my gosh Knox, buddy, I’ve been wanting you to see this one for so long!! When the boys were working on these, They each sampled songs from their older albums. So good!

    So for the red around the door frame it's in reference to an artwork svayambh by anish kapoor shows how moving forward means evolving and leaving something of yourself behind.

      Also a fun tidbit when Yoongi has the white jacket on you'll see on his left shoulder bluetape it's in reference to his injured shoulder he got when working a delivery job. It had been causing him a lot of pain for years but in 2020 he finally got surgery for it.

    Knox don’t overwork yourself 💜 I feel like you’d really have loved the verse this misses out. Maybe the lyrics for another day. Thanks for this. I hope you are back to doing BTS again, we’ve missed you! Borahae!

  • @dingdong9884
    @dingdong9884 Před 2 lety

    Yay! Thanks so much Knox! Tried my best to comment about the full version on the last vid haha but you mustn’t have seen it. I love the visuals so much, like when after escaping the corridor with his shadows, he ends up pulled back in. Please could you do the full version too? The second verse is so important, but if you’d rather check it out on your own that’s cool ☺️💜

  • @time2danc3
    @time2danc3 Před 2 lety +1

    Great reaction and analysis Knox! You're always so spot on!! And you were wondering about the imagery and the doors and the red stuff on the walls. There is a plastic artist, who made that kind of art, and he said that we as a person have to cut ourselves and shape ourselves in order to fit in society (the door) leaving behind parts of our essence.
    Can't wait to see you next time!

    Didn't want to pester with a dm on Patreon haha, so here to boost the algo and let you know about BTS' new song, but others have beaten me to it xD. It's a really beautiful song, Suga did great with the production (in my non-professional opinion lol) and I do think you'd enjoy the lyrics, but they relate to their ongoing Webtoon story 7Fates:Chakho (hoping they make a full anime). Like the others said, there is a promo mv with cool visuals, but it isn't the full song so recommend both for better context. A suggestion anyway! Enjoy the Super Bowl later Knox 💜

  • @slayra
    @slayra Před 2 lety +2

    Yea, basically a commentary on how he's internally divided on what he is and has become. At first his whole self wanted fame and being recognized by his artistry (white Suga). But then he achieved it and all that came with it. He got scared that Suga (his persona) would overtake himself (Min Yoongi) for being, as you said, under the microscope all the time. Black Suga is his shadow. He still wants fame and recognition and doing what he loves regardless of the consequences. He's grown stronger and bigger because of all the light cast on white Suga. Suga is split in 2, wanting to do what he loves (music) but afraid of fame changing him. In the end, when the shadow says "I am you and you are me", it means that white Suga and black Suga are just 2 parts of the same person and Suga must face his fears and accept the consequences of his choice to pursue his dream to become whole.
    Fortunately fame hasn't changed BTS much, they're still adorable and very devoted to artistry, music and their fan base. It's amazing how humble they still are.

    The stuff on the walls is most likely inspired by British Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor‘s installation art called “Svayambh” - which in Sanskrit means “self-made” or “auto-generated”of an art exhibition where a giant block of red wax was pushed through the doors and walls of the museum. Basically, it had to continuously shred itself in order to fit into the space, or took the form of each door that it passed through. As MOTS7 was released alongside Connect BTS, a worldwide sponsoring of major art exhibits all over the world, using a reference to this in the MV was really meaningful. And the subject of the song also really fits with what the artist was trying to portray. I LOVE this song.

    I really really love this song and your interpretation was perfect! Their whole Map of The Soul series was like attending a course haha. I do think you'd appreciate the full version of this even more as that second verse is intense. Thank you Knox! Also, Patreon is a great community to be a part of, lots more reactions there!

    Thanks so much for the great reaction and analysis Knox!! 💜 SUGA once said that what is ordinary to us is extraordinary to them.. As celebrities, you are right, everything they do or say have been and will always be put under a microscope. Their company has in-house therapist i believe and provide their artists counselling. Some, if not most, of the entertainment companies put so much pressure on their artists, especially when a project is about to come out (preparations, promotions etc) Some fans and netizens do not view them as humans too. BTS are artists with such high emotional intelligence and are very resilient. As an ARMY, I am glad BTS members are getting help and support they need for their well-being.
