The Wings album was definitely when I went full conspiracy theorist. I was seeing symbols and meanings everywhere, making playlists to figure out the sequence of events. I had to stop after the Love Yourself series. No more theories for me 😄
This song is actually based off of Herman Hesse's novel called Demian. It's about good vs evil, losing innocence and falling into temptation (and a bit of psychology) so we ARMYS had to read books to understand what this entire album meant because it's basically like a story which connects all of their songs in that album haha (the album is called Wings). Loved the reaction! 💜💜
I'm in the process of reading that novel. RM's book list is so refined, so in depth. I have 3 of his other books he recommends. The explanation video is great also for those that like to know the history behind BTS's MV.
It's interesting that you've heard resemblance of some beats of Blood Sweat & Tears to Ed Sheeran's Shape of you. If in case it wasn't mentioned yet, Ed co-wrote a song for BTS. It's called Make It Right 😄 (And btw had to mention it as well, BS&T was released a year earlier than Shape of You)
@@timberslogs9096 don't worry, everybody has been through it , when you know tha everything of bts have a meaning , but you don't know the meaning, sorry for my English 😋
@@timberslogs9096 Making theories abt it is very fun. Explanation videos helps very much. They usually use literatures and cultural references that's why we won't get it just at few listens/watches without learning abt the literature and culture. Even then a lot of BTS songs are open for interpretations and can be interpreted in alot of ways and still delivers a message so very well. Even if we can simply listen to the song, knowing what it means is such a pleasure for me. It becomes my mind and soul workout. 💜
I m currently reading Demian .... The story heavily centers aroud 2 realms - the "good" realms of innocennce, childhood, love...and "bad"realm - temptation, lies and violence.the story is so far about the main character realizing the evil realm inside him, questioning himself , God and the world..but soon realizing he is not evil, nor saint, he is human ...so far the book is about finding yourself in a world where so many people try to define you before you are even born. And the road takes you through both good and the bad realm to find you true self.
This song about losing innocence to evil temptation. When Jin kissed the winged statue, the evil inside him awaken. And his face (persona) cracked to reveal the shadow inside him.
I know you’re gonna sit on the symbolism of Blood sweat and tears, but just to get you started: overall it’s a story of temptation and growing out of innocence
someone tell him armys been trying to make the connection since forever and nope, u need to watch their mvs since 2015, watch their vcr(s) in concerts and award shows, smeraldo website, the notes, save me webtoon, highlight reels, short film and a whole ass drama that will drop - and even with that i dont think anyone will ever be truly solve it
I certainly didn’t realize I would become a professional student by becoming an ARMY (the name of BTS’s fandom). But the BU (BTS Universe, story line that winds through their MVs), is compelling. It reminds me of the tv show Lost. Lost had many storylines, theories, and off-air content that made it feel interactive. BTS is doing the same thing here. This hooks us in and gets us anticipating what’s next. We talk theories and develop an eagle eye to digest all the possible clues. This is a master class on how to build a fan base, create interesting & interactive content, video filming & editing (with a major in dance videography), introduction to multiple music genres, a master class in dancing, a focus on psychology, mythology, Korean history, fiction works, art history, social justice... Did I forget anything else?! Whew!
He actually need to watch their MVs since 2013 lol cause if you see even in no more dream they were some hints in the background there was a lot of words and Stigma was one of them So it's planned since the beginning
it really is masterfully done to get people to want to know more, and therefore watch more videos and comsume more content. I love this storyline so muchhhhhh
i feel the need to boost my man and say yoongi is actually playing the piano in that scene, he plays since childhood you should check his mixtape D-2 which he produced mostly by himself. also i feel nobody is telling you how amazing your reactions are i’m always skipping reactors but yours are sooo smooth thank u so much
Well, I know he plays the piano really well. But in this scene he isn't playing. You can notice it watching his hands. While he's "playing", piano keys are not pushed
@@chimchim6197 That's because it's an organ and the action is different. Not sure he is playing that piece (it's a particularly difficult organ piece) but he is playing something. Not sure if he is using the pedals though.
He very well might have written and/or played the organ for the piece they recorded and put in the video even if he isn't accurately pressing the keys in the video. I kind of feel like they wouldn't have shown him playing it if he didn't at least write it
BTS uses Hermann Hesse's book Demian as inspiration, basically their entire discography uses this story as a concept. The most important thing to keep in mind when interpreting BTS songs is that they cannot be seen as something real that is happening in time, because their concept is too surreal to see it that way. So the way to interpret it is through dreams and there is a reason for this. It turns out that Hermann Hesse was strongly inspired by Car Jung's analytical psychology. Jung's analytical psychology is a school of modern psychotherapy and something that characterizes psychotherapy is the analysis of dreams, which are not literal at all. In this way it is explained that BTS videos when viewed without a specific context and order do not make sense to be able to analyze them.
The quote that RM was saying when Jin is letting go of the balloon is, *"He too was a tempter; he, too, was a link to the second, the evil world with which I no longer wanted to have anything to do."* From the book “Demian” by Herman Hesse. It's about an older man looking and reflecting on his childhood, giving reasons and analysis as to why he acted in certain ways in different situations. Jin letting go of the balloon MIGHT BE symbolic as to him letting go of his innocence and finally succumbing to temptation. That's why you can see him kissing the winged statue in the next scene, which MIGHT be the devil.
Linda This is just my theory. I think Taehyung already gave in to the temptation that’s why he’s represented as “fallen angel”.. meaning, he’s already fallen into the temptations and he was also trying to tempt the other members that’s why he smirked when Jin gave in.
Yeah, when I saw that bit I was like: No, you definitely don’t get it. But that’s ok, you’re in good company, no one gets it the first time with no prior knowledge. And BTS MVs are usually deep enough that you’ll catch new things even if you’ve watched it many times before simply by focusing on other things.
"Oh I get it....I think....yeah... Yeah, I don't get it." You have no idea, buddy. There is a whole connected universe within their latest albums and it's crazy. I love them. (Very similar to TOP in that way but completely different.)
Is he though? It's kinda irking to me when he can't explain something he says "kinda like...certain artist..." I know music is music but there's unpredictable mastery then there's what Everybody else does, just saying. There might be a perceived order in how songs are put together but BTS follows no one even if it is the norm.
@@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838 it's annoying when he is comparing their music to another artists like idk it's offending me like NO they aren't like other artists i never heard anything like that (their music) in my life and im not even a real army cuz i never tried to understand those bindings between songs and all cuz i lack ambition and my brain is to small to get all this but yeah noone is ever going to be a match for them even if i dont know all the story
Ah, I'm so glad you enjoyed this one! In my opinion, it's one of their best music videos (and songs too, hehe). As far as albums to react to, I'd recommend Tear as it's considered one of their best albums and it explores a lot of different sounds for them... they also have Map of the Soul: 7, which is their latest, but as it references a lot of their older work I'd recommend getting to it later on... oh, and one more thing! I think you'd really benefit from having the lyrics with you when you're watching the music videos because they're hardly ever not connected in some way. Anyways, great video!
Pentatonix just released a new EP! It’s called At Home, and it is really impressive because they created it without actually meeting each other (due to quarantine), and it is A Capella! It’s so great!
That was great. They do have so much symbolism in their songs and videos that we need to watch multiple times. Their new MV for the song ON is still something I don't completely understand. I enjoy hearing from you why I like the song and what my ears are wanting and how it fits.
Everyone has given great recommendations, but I just want to point out how fantastic your ears are. that ear training is amazing! That is a gift and you sir, are making good use of it!
btw, their lyrics play a huge part in the experience of their songs so i'd suggest you turn on the captions when watching their official mvs and also get some lyrics to refer to when you review their album. love your reactions!!
Guys he's mentioning Shape of you only as an example for the type of instrument/effect used. Please stop attacking him like this. This is such a genuine reaction and he's only using such examples to help us understand the production process better. Let's not assume that he's accusing BTS of copying Shape of you. No one is saying that.
"i just got to make the connection!" that's what they always say. Hook, line and sinker! Good luck dude there's no way getting back up. I hope you enjoy the BTS rabbit hole.
YOU SHOULD DO THEIR ALBUM CALLED "love yourself : tear" . ONE OF MY FAVORITES FOR SURE!!! and also their most recent album called "map of the soul : 7"
I love your reactions because you literally pin point and mention things I didn’t even know exist! For example, that the rap line are the main vocals for the verses to build a tension for the chorus (how didn’t I notice before). And the guitar chromatic walk down in the ‘crash’ part - I literally can’t stop hearing it now, but I love it !! 💜
I know that you kinda react to the sound of the music as a producer, but it would be great if you read the lyrics as well. Music videos usually have English captions you can switch on, or if it's too much to keep track of at the same time, you can read translations online. Their lyrivs are sobpoetic and go so deep and the best part about their music. :) And you have no idea how deep their music and mvs are haha
at 10:53 you can see a German text in the back "Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben, um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können" which means "One has to have chaos within oneself to be able to birth a dancing star". This is a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche from his book "Thus spoke Zarathustra". It's quite curious that they included this in the video... BTS really have much more philosophical and complex themes than one would expect at first glance.
I would recommend you to react to "map of the soul: 7" as it's their latest album (came out earlier this year) I think before reacting to it though, you have to research a little bit about what map of the soul is, because it's quite a complex theory. There is this psychologist/philosopher that came up with it, named Carl Jung (student of the famous Freud philosopher). You can do that either beforehand, to get to know the basics or, you can actually combine it with your album reaction as there are explanation videos for the 3 more important parts of it ( Persona, Shadow, Ego). I would recommend the "explained by a Korean" videos (they're in Eng). BTS's albums are NO JOKE. They always have a storyline and they always try to tell/teach you something. This specific album has 20 songs with each member having a solo song and all kinds of combinations of members doing other songs. As a die hard Pink Floyd fan, the concept albums that they do reminded me of PF. Even though the music is obviously very different, there is unbelievable attention to detail, and they also give you the feeling that they don't do music just for the shake of it, but they speak through it. This album is quite special to them as 2020 is their 7 year anniversary (hence the 7 part) and they are 7 of them ( hence 7 solo songs from each one). All of the guys are generally deeply involved into the music making processes (writing lyrics, melodies and even producing - especially the rappers), but this album is actually extra personal and it tells all their stories.
Please react to Black Swan. One of their masterpieces. Lyrics are simply beautiful. There’s also a variety of performances with their choreography that elevates the song even further.
you should definitely check out their full album Wings, Love Yourself: Tear or the latest one Map of The Soul: 7. they have many others but these are just so so so good, their golden albums. i recommend the Love Yourself: Tear for starters
whether you’re a new army or not, please don’t take the “who is bts” introduction videos as fact. Yes namjoon writes a good chunk of their lyrics (e.g. 80% of MOTS:Persona) and yoongi is an amazing producer, but the numbers are outdated or too blown up. listen to what they say in their own vlives if you can
Rm taked more part on the lyrics rather than the production part and 90% is too much sincd he doesn't do it alone lol. 300 songs a year...at least not anymore, he said he has been working less lately
he is more involved with lyrics than production. i think the 90% came from his live where he spoke about his contribution to the lyrics of mots persona. to address another reply i don’t think 90% is too much, given what he said, but perhaps if was a little less for 7 given how much more the vocal line contributed. obvi hobi & yoongi writing most of their verses. if you look at the credits in the album booklet you can see the producers written outside the brackets and songwriters written (lyrics, composition, etc) inside them, i think this is where the confusion comes from.
wow you broke down the song and explained it so well, its so amazing to understand the science behing making a song. Thank you and keep up the good work 😊
I understand why armys are recommending love yourself: tear album. But quality and production wise their most recent album is the best one. So I hope you react to "Map of the soul: 7"
I feel the tear album is much more consistent with it's vibe so it's a good place to start. 7 is kind of weird with it's vibe given it is a mesh of what was originally supposed to be two separate albums (shadow and ego)
Fun fact: the last 4 upward scooping notes ...are the melody for another song. They played the sample in reverse, slowed it down and Spring Day was born. I thought that was really clever.
"I just gotta make the connection"
All theorist armys: welcome to the club

TOTALLY AHAHAHAHH.......

I m currently reading Demian .... The story heavily centers aroud 2 realms - the "good" realms of innocennce, childhood, love...and "bad"realm - temptation, lies and violence.the story is so far about the main character realizing the evil realm inside him, questioning himself , God and the world..but soon realizing he is not evil, nor saint, he is human ...so far the book is about finding yourself in a world where so many people try to define you before you are even born.

I love that book so much. Learning that they inspired from it makes me so happy!
Omg that is a very Jungian concept. It echoed even until the present album!!
I never read that book. now I got to search the entire bookstore for this
I shall have and read that book
I read Demian too, i found it so boring
This song about losing innocence to evil temptation. When Jin kissed the winged statue, the evil inside him awaken. And his face (persona) cracked to reveal the shadow inside him.
Gasp*
You SNAPPED, I APPRECIATE YOU
Sometimes that's hard to believe the giving to temptation part, because the Bangtan boys still look so innocent at the end too =b
Can I suggest “Love Yourself: Tear” for your album review? One of their best and easily digestible for someone new to Kpop
Yesssss please, the Tear album is such a master piece
Yeah tear is my fav album! Then i love Dark and whild
Totally agree
YES PLEASEEEE
Please please yeees
WE NEED FULL ALBUM. 7, WINGS OR LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR. PREFERABLY ALL OF THEM.
OOOOO YASSSSSS
Ooooooo but instead of Wings, he should do You Never Walk Alone for the extra trackssssssssss
LY: Tear is definetelly a must!
love yourself: tear is definitely a very good life for a first listen
For BTS full album reaction I recommend
Love yourself: Answer
Map of the soul: 7
I love Jimins voice. Suddenly all emotions come through.
4:18 actually Shape of you was released in 2017 , blood sweat and tears in 2016.
He heard shape of you before bst. So he was just comparing the two.

react to their album “map of the soul: 7”
Yessss
Everyone has given great recommendations, but I just want to point out how fantastic your ears are. that ear training is amazing!
That is a gift and you sir, are making good use of it!
4:21 no... Shape of you is super BST. Shape of you is from 2017, Blood, sweat and tears is from 2016. ..
Please react to Map of the Soul : 7 album and Love yourself : tear album. Also is your captions on when you react to mvs ? 😂 Just asking
btw, their lyrics play a huge part in the experience of their songs so i'd suggest you turn on the captions when watching their official mvs and also get some lyrics to refer to when you review their album. love your reactions!!
Guys he's mentioning Shape of you only as an example for the type of instrument/effect used. Please stop attacking him like this. This is such a genuine reaction and he's only using such examples to help us understand the production process better. Let's not assume that he's accusing BTS of copying Shape of you. No one is saying that.
plus blood sweat and tears was released before shape of you
@@loverenjun Exactly. We don't need to prove anything.
@@loverenjun agree!
"i just got to make the connection!" that's what they always say.
Hook, line and sinker! Good luck dude there's no way getting back up. I hope you enjoy the BTS rabbit hole.
As a directioner and an army, this channel is blessing me.
YOU SHOULD DO THEIR ALBUM CALLED "love yourself : tear" . ONE OF MY FAVORITES FOR SURE!!!
and also their most recent album called "map of the soul : 7"
I love your reactions because you literally pin point and mention things I didn’t even know exist! For example, that the rap line are the main vocals for the verses to build a tension for the chorus (how didn’t I notice before). And the guitar chromatic walk down in the ‘crash’ part - I literally can’t stop hearing it now, but I love it !! 💜
4:20 this was actually in 2016 before shape of you was released!
Blood, Sweat, & Tears is about good and evil leading into temptation ~
WE NEED K-12 OR CRYBABY BY MELANIE MARTINEZ PLEASEEE
YES
YES
UP
YESS
YES!!!!!
I know that you kinda react to the sound of the music as a producer, but it would be great if you read the lyrics as well. Music videos usually have English captions you can switch on, or if it's too much to keep track of at the same time, you can read translations online. Their lyrivs are sobpoetic and go so deep and the best part about their music. :) And you have no idea how deep their music and mvs are haha
agree! that’s the thing that I noticed about his vid reaction too
YES
at 10:53 you can see a German text in the back "Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben,
um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können" which means "One has to have chaos within oneself to be able to birth a dancing star". This is a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche from his book "Thus spoke Zarathustra". It's quite curious that they included this in the video... BTS really have much more philosophical and complex themes than one would expect at first glance.
You should do fashion videos! I love your clothes and I really want to know where you got that shirt! Love your videos!!
please react to their album "Love yourself: tear"
Blood sweat and tears was when they first got a bigger budget. They weren’t always rich. They worked hard to have this quality of a video.
thankyou for reacting to our boys! as long as you support them, we (armys (the fandom of bts)) will also support you! so keep going!
Please react to their album "love yourself: tear" that album was so good
I would recommend you to react to "map of the soul: 7" as it's their latest album (came out earlier this year)
I think before reacting to it though, you have to research a little bit about what map of the soul is, because it's quite a complex theory. There is this psychologist/philosopher that came up with it, named Carl Jung (student of the famous Freud philosopher). You can do that either beforehand, to get to know the basics or, you can actually combine it with your album reaction as there are explanation videos for the 3 more important parts of it ( Persona, Shadow, Ego). I would recommend the "explained by a Korean" videos (they're in Eng).
BTS's albums are NO JOKE. They always have a storyline and they always try to tell/teach you something. This specific album has 20 songs with each member having a solo song and all kinds of combinations of members doing other songs. As a die hard Pink Floyd fan, the concept albums that they do reminded me of PF. Even though the music is obviously very different, there is unbelievable attention to detail, and they also give you the feeling that they don't do music just for the shake of it, but they speak through it.
This album is quite special to them as 2020 is their 7 year anniversary (hence the 7 part) and they are 7 of them ( hence 7 solo songs from each one). All of the guys are generally deeply involved into the music making processes (writing lyrics, melodies and even producing - especially the rappers), but this album is actually extra personal and it tells all their stories.
Bts music videos always have INSANE storylines and all their mv's have a bunch of theories that link together
Please react to Black Swan. One of their masterpieces. Lyrics are simply beautiful. There’s also a variety of performances with their choreography that elevates the song even further.
Do “love yourself: tear” its one of my fav bts albums
STREAM HIS EP AND BUY HIS MERCH Y'ALLL
you should definitely check out their full album Wings, Love Yourself: Tear or the latest one Map of The Soul: 7. they have many others but these are just so so so good, their golden albums. i recommend the Love Yourself: Tear for starters
Listening to BTS is good way to educate yourself. You gotta do a whole lot of research and learning to understand their music
RM has produced over 90% of BTS’ songs and Suga produces and writes over 300 songs a year
whether you’re a new army or not, please don’t take the “who is bts” introduction videos as fact. Yes namjoon writes a good chunk of their lyrics (e.g. 80% of MOTS:Persona) and yoongi is an amazing producer, but the numbers are outdated or too blown up. listen to what they say in their own vlives if you can
Rm taked more part on the lyrics rather than the production part and 90% is too much sincd he doesn't do it alone lol. 300 songs a year...at least not anymore, he said he has been working less lately
he is more involved with lyrics than production. i think the 90% came from his live where he spoke about his contribution to the lyrics of mots persona. to address another reply i don’t think 90% is too much, given what he said, but perhaps if was a little less for 7 given how much more the vocal line contributed. obvi hobi & yoongi writing most of their verses. if you look at the credits in the album booklet you can see the producers written outside the brackets and songwriters written (lyrics, composition, etc) inside them, i think this is where the confusion comes from.
Please react to "Black Swan "This song is their new song this year, and it is well made
“Fake love “ is also a masterpiece 🖤
I've been wanting to say this so, I'll say this now.
You have a very beautiful smile
You should definitely do their most recent album: map of the soul: 7 just cause there’s different genres in this album!!!
please react to BTS Love Yourself Tear album, it's incredible!
"because I know there's something there that I'm- I just gonna make the connection- I just gotta make the connection-" lmfao yeah we feel you
wow you broke down the song and explained it so well, its so amazing to understand the science behing making a song. Thank you and keep up the good work 😊
DO LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR OR MAP OF THE SOUL: 7
I understand why armys are recommending love yourself: tear album. But quality and production wise their most recent album is the best one. So I hope you react to "Map of the soul: 7"
Mots7 is too long for newcomers
I feel the tear album is much more consistent with it's vibe so it's a good place to start. 7 is kind of weird with it's vibe given it is a mesh of what was originally supposed to be two separate albums (shadow and ego)
Nah tear is def better than mots 7 and more cohesive
@@aleycna2992 nooo production and quality wise mots7 is definitely better. It's their highest quality album
@@gisel00 yeah I understand that
Their every video contains symbolisms and storylines which people normally don't notice or can comprehend
10:55 i love how he caught them midair but still no one's slipping look at their faces
I'm still waiting for the reaction of an entire album
Yess plis react to the album Love yourself tear
Yeah me too
Blake McLain: Oh, I know where this is headed.
Me, instantly: Oh, no you don't!
Bake McLain, ten seconds later: No, I don't know where this is headed.
BTS goes above and beyond for their Army. I feel like all of their content is fantastic!
Fun fact: the last 4 upward scooping notes ...are the melody for another song. They played the sample in reverse, slowed it down and Spring Day was born. I thought that was really clever.
you know i feel like this guy is always waiting until the exact time the beat drops to pause. :\
Tbh I keep skipping XD
It's true BTS again lead us to literature era and theories
I am just appreciating how Blake is going so deep into bts's music. there is not enough that professional reaction on that. Plzzzzzzz do more!!!!
I love your knowledge, honesty, and curiosity! 🙏❤
