- Next up in our chronological journey, Yoongi's Interlude: Shadow! This has popped up quite a few times in the past so we knew it had to be good. But I don't think anything could have prepared us for those visuals 😮

For those curious, Since watching this MV we’ve listened to the full version of the song. That second verse really opens things up and the way he goes deeper into his inner thoughts was 🤌🏻🤌🏻. SUGA is on another level with this song. It’s of course been on repeat this week on our CCW playlist, as well as a couple others 😉
Thank you..shadow my fav song of suga bts.
Remember that this album is based in the book map of the soul , so they took the archetypes of Carl jun ( persona , shadow , ego, etc ) to do this songs , those were their inspiration for the songs and the album , the book said if you accept each of all the archetypes in you , you will reach the SELF aka the individualization , aka you actually love yourself , so in this album BTS show us how those archetypes look on them and how they accept it. So in this song suga is telling that his shadow is him being a afraid to be so high that will make him being alone , and disppair which is not what he hope it going to be if he reach the fame , so he is accepting his shadow at the end that it doesn’t matter how many times he try to supress it , it will came back cuz it’s part of him ( everyone has a shadow by the way). In RM songs he is accepting his persona , and in jhope he is accepting his ego. Boy with luv is the groups accepting their persona , black swan they are accepting their shadow and in ON they accept it all of it and reach the SELF.
Suga es extraordinario,
Ahora reaccionen a HIGNOTES DE BTS para que vean el potencial que tiene cada uno en su voz.
Es impresionante.
Reaccionen a your stell de BTS, Love myself, y cristal snow,Stal gold.
Shadow es un temazo, por su producción musical y porque Yoongui una vez más se desnuda por dentro, y muestra la persona tan interesante que es! Se me hizo corta la reacción, verla dos veces que nos encanta!
Yoongi is not just a singer, not just an idol, not just a rapper, he is a TRUE ARTIST. Periodt.
Yesssss💜
Exactly
Periodt!
LITERALLY I agree
Suga is an artist in the truest sense of the word💜
It's funny. Yoongi is the most introverted, but at the same time, he also the most open about himself and his struggles. While the others might talk louder, he's the one that says the most.
Basically, the closer you are to the light, the bigger your shadow becomes.
This concept is so poetic and I love it so much
Yeah
Persona(RM) - Shadow(Suga) -Ego(Jhope) tells personal story of the Rapline , depicting their journey and obstacles they have to overcome as they rose to fame. These songs showcases the lyricism and artistry of the trio. BTS rapline is 💥 , as what we can see on their solo albums now
Yes!!
G DRAGON IS KING ,,,
@@himaririku9254pls
a few things:
1. the song in its entirety has a second verse and a second pre-chorus. the transition is not as abrupt as it is in the video, even though it is there to amp up the drama/dark shadow
2. the live performance in his d-day concert is amazing. the symbolism. the production. especially when you see the choreo/camera phones and the audience and their cameras capturing his every move.
3. yoongis solo videos just hit different. he is a natural story teller. attention oriented. flare for drama and acting. raw and passionate. love that he can assume any role.
Jk used to always imitate the first part in this song lol
"I wanna be a lobster"
I wanna be a lobster 😂
@@user-kb9pw6ik6k🤣
No one mocks BTS songs as much as Jungkook🤣🤣🤣
I would have liked guys to see a video with lyrics before because the original studio version from Spotify lasts 4 minutes, a large part of its verses are cut, it even dialogues with its shadow and the Mv would make more sense of what Suga wants to express the lyrics are important in this song but his interpretations of how Yoongi and the rapline handle his alter ego for reflections in his songs were very close and precise.❤
Some Easter eggs of this song
Are you right, the same sample from Namjoon's intro is used in O!RUL8,2?
even the album logo is seen for a moment Suga uses it to take the role of her younger self responding to her dreams from the past
In the second verse (the cut verse) is when the tone of voice changes and begins to speak this shadow with Suga also called a monster saying "And on top of that, you have a big house, big cars, big rings" referring to his past verses in No More Dream and Home
The same goes for mentioning "This Shadow" said earlier in his song The Last from the first mixtape and then casting that in a more positive light in his Magic Shop verse.
It will even make more sense when you read those songs again don't drop the song it's a delight to listen to it after a while and Shadow's live on his recent tour was wonderful
I agree . Even when they do live songs reaction i think they should listen to the song first and then check out the live . It takes out the grasping power of hidden effects and sounds in live compared to the og song.
This 💯! It’s kind of weird none of their patreon or discord people made sure they got the full song or were at least made aware that they would only see part of the song in the MV. Sad, because you miss a lot of the meaning by only getting this.
Agreed 💯
Agree! 💜
I saw people mention this issue on prior videos, because they knew this song was coming up. Even I chimed in to reiterate what others told them about there being an extra verse and they should do just the song first to get all of it before the video. I guess nobody paid attention to those comments.
When Daniel said, "it felt like 2 songs", I thought "that's the genius of Suga/BTS"... Interlude:Shadow is about the other side of the self... Map of the Soul album is thematically based on Jungian psychology. Everything about this album is amazing!
I forgot which video, but I remember Suga saying that he spent so much time writing Interlude: Shadow that RM had to do the most work writing the lyrics in the album...so when you listen to Interlude: Shadow, you will find that it is one of SUGA's most vulnerable works ever because he is living the words of this track. I love this song so much I can't stop gushing about it. 😊
PLEASE check out the full version.. there’s a whole kickass verse that is not in this video😢 Also u guys Must watch the explanation video for this song. It will take ur experience of the song to a whole different level!!! ❤
YES THIS! This song is so much deeper, so please reaction to the full version and explanation. There’s a video by DKDKTV (explained by a Korean) that’s really good so please check it out 💜
D-day SNOOZE, D-DAY AND THE LAST
PLEASE!!!!!!
Yessssssssss
The part where it gets darker and his voice is more raspy is essentially his shadow talking, like he says "you are me, i am you, now you see it, we'll clash into each other" stuff like that, and you know shadow is like the part of your conscience that is internal and sometimes is like your greed and stuff like, as you saw he says "i wanne be a rapstar, i wanne be the top, i wanna be a rockstar, i wanna it all mine" and in the end he says "i wanna be me" and it's the shadow talking, this song is so so so meaningful that i think I can't even explain it well to you!! Also, all the cameras at the end pointing at him, he also says how he wanted it all but it became his shadow because he didn't know how suffering and lonely it is when you are up there!!! Omg i love this song so so so much!!!!! Would have loved if you listened to the full song because there's a whole another verse where it says a LOT about what he's talking about in the song!!
Flash forward, and he certainly accomplished all of that and more. In his D-Day tour he got to be a rap star, a rockstar, a king, a boss, a brother, a mentor, etc., definitely at the top of his game, then walked out as himself through that white door. He’s rich in money, friendships and love. He looks GOOD, much happier and at peace with himself.
Before I watch I just wanna say this song has a special place in my heart. When this came out and it was prolly my first comeback as army, I just straight up bawled my eyes out watching the mv and reading the lyrics. Yoongi has a way with words that always felt so raw and vulnerable and my heart broke listening to this song the first time 😢
Same! I was listening on my way to work. Didn’t even understand the lyrics but burst into tears. That’s my dude right there💜💜💜
He's my bias for a reason. Yoongi is a MUSIC GENIUS!
Shadow has a deep meaning ,you can feel how passionate he is by the way he was rapping but overall suga talks about the pressure of being an idol you can tell by the mv and all those flashing lights
Yoongi will always be a genius musician 💜
I flooded the stadium with tears when he sang this live on his tour😭
same 😭😭
Dont let me down ❌
Dont let me drown ✅
The song actually has another verse + pre-chorus and Chorus before the music changes into the shadow part . I wish it was the full song in the MV.
Verse 2: SUGA]
Try smiling, what are you hesitating for?
Wasn't this the kind of thing you were hoping for?
Or cry instead, what are you scared of?
Wasn't this the kind of thing you'd been wanting?
The life you hoped for, the life you wanted
The life you chose, you achieved everything without regrets
And on top of that, you have a big house, big cars, big rings
All the things you wanted, you've got it all
So what's the problem? Just enjoy it
Or just let it go, no? Then run, or stop
Don't whine, just choose one or the other
Yes
This song is so powerful and deep. Seeing him perform it in person at his concert was so surreal and awesome‼️
This man is my bias for a reason!
I love Yoongi's songs. Very deep, but the lyrics is easy to interpret. He loves putting the symbolism in the visuals.
Thank you for a great reaction, again!💜
This song is pure SUGA to me. He’s often talked about being too greedy (I can’t think of a better word) and trying to reign that in and staying grounded while also being really scared at the heights they were going to. He’s said many times that after their first billboard award, he cried after. Not out of joy, but out of fear of the unknown of where they were headed as a group because he knew they were only getting bigger from there. There really was no roadmap for them as they became more and more popular. It’s why he’s so good and open with younger idols. He wants to be for them what BTS didn’t have. He’s said he has so much to share and teach and I genuinely think he loves doing that, even with the other members. He’s really encouraged the more inexperienced ones to write and pushed them out of their comfort zone in the best of ways.
Yoongi as i've always say this whenever i commented Suga's video , he is really an Extraordinary artist! He is depth! His songs are always meaningful. All of Yoongi's MV is so effortly top notch --- Daechwita, Haegeum, Amygdala, Shadow.
Visual 100%
Cinematic 100%
Performance 100%
Lyrics 100%
Produced his own, BTS , and other artists music rap, sing , dance, play piano, guitar ,directing his own mv ,, act, good looking ,
What a versatile Yoongi!
Miss him so much!!
I love this song. Yoongi has made me love rap which I never thought would happen. I admire him as an artist immensely.
This song and mv is a masterpiece, yoongi is truly a musical genius! The flow, the lyricism,the voice distortion and switch up used as a tool for storytelling, the visuals, just the overall production… it’s been years since this came out yet i still get goosebumps!
Gabriel saying “there’s no closure” that’s the point. If we understand the context we can easily tell it was intentional for the song to end on that note. I’m sure y’all have listened to the longer version already but yea he gets even deeper into it. I’ve always admired how open and vulnerable yoongi can be in his music bc it’s really not easy to do that. I feel like that’s why a lot of people feel drawn to him and relate to him a lot.
This song is so meaningful and so good!! If you see on the streaming platforms is longer because the intro is longer and there's another verse, hope you check it out sometime!!! Also, i think this is the shortest video you guys ever did lol only 13 minutes
que saudade que eu tava de ver as pessoas chocadas reagindo a essa música, quando saiu o fandom todo surtou, o yoongi não erra nunca
Interlude: Shadow continues their exploration of Jungian psychology in relation to BTS. YOONGI is expressing his conflict with his own shadow, a metaphor for all of his doubts, fears and insecurities with being at the top. At the top the spotlight is at its brightest - making your shadow even longer - of all the rxns to this song maybe only one person commented on when he was moving backwards in retreat from the bright lights - in the end he reconciles w his shadow as a part of himself and moves forward as a whole person. From this to finally walking through the door of his Amygdala at his las DDAY concert before enlisting - Yoongi’s path to his peace has always been in full display for his beloved ARMY💜
Actually the door in the mv is an inspiration from Anish Kapoor‘s installation art called “Svayambh” which can means “self-made” and it has its own deep meaning. I love how bts always take care of those small details bc everything would always means something. It’s so fun to read bts song analysis and theories so I’d really recommend that! Yoongi is truly a legend.
I was scrolling through to see if anyone had mentioned this!
It's such an interesting and meaningful addition to the visuals!
So thank you for having the information and sharing it, for anyone who didn't know to be able to see it! 💜
Stunningly Exquisite! Magnificent Masterpiece! Lyrical art! An open soul exposed. His Truth. Suga IS a genius! Plus More!
Aww it's Shadow by my beloved Yoongi 🥰 Suga is a great lyricist, if you would always take the lyrics in a bit deeper, you'd definitely appreciate it. His flows too are so him!! RM and Hobi too write lyrics so well. It's what made BTS, BTS. Thanks for this reaction CCW 💜
genius musician suga ✨
I like the full version of this song which is much better than the mv version🫶🏻
Map of the soul concepts is from Jung philosopy, Jung believed that the human psyche, or the body, mind and soul, was made up of three parts: persona, shadow, and ego.
This idea inspires our namjoon which starts questioning about “who am i?” The intro of the ablum- persona. and it starts to begin the linkage of the solo songs from the 3 rappers, and the whole concept among the series of map of the soul albums.
Suga is my bias and this song is crazyIt is a song with a great feeling, the great work behind each of their songs is really incredible, I love it
Thanks for reacting 💗✨
I'm still waiting for your reaction to"That, That", guys
+1
Not Gabriel saying Hajima😂 He's a certified Yoongi
Yoongi Isn’t the quiet one it’s just that he does all talking by his music.And that shows his King behaviour.
Shadow song came first in which suga sang "i want to be king " and after that he released Dwaechita singing "i am the king"
The cameras and phones at the end remind me of when some of the top K pop star arriving or departing at the airport. How bad it gets can be scary for anyone.
SUGA -SEESAW LIVE
Love this song so much, and the "shadow" voice as the last part. Cannot get enough of him.
Edit: the irony, during D-Day concert on this song, the backup dancers surround him like the crowd with phones and everyone around me the audience was just like that, focused with the cameras instead of just watching and absorbing the performance. I can relate to wanting to capture the moment so not trying to criticize or critique but the people pushing and shoving with their phones and holding them up above their heads reminded me of the video so much. i've been where everyone respects the 'don't hold ARMY bombs or phones above your head' approach and everyone could actually see and get the video they tried to AND could actually absorb the performance so much better. It was kinda sad to see the MV in life while he is performing that song.
CCW reaction : this song is deep....
Jin while eating lobster : yumm..i wanna be a lobstar..
One of my fav Suga's song💜
As músicas do Suga são perfeitas 😍
That transition always reminds me why Suga is called "chameleon". He can do anything! I love him for that!
Shadow my beloved 💞 the full version with the second verse is even better 😁
U should react to Suga' s various other songs like
Seesaw
SDL
People pt 1
Moonlight
Nevermind
Set me free pt 1.
That that(psy's song ft suga).
He has even produced ringtones for Samsung one in 2021 n the other one in 2022 brilliant piece of music
literally one of my favorite songs
When I first saw this, I had the same reaction as Summer! I liked it so much. Absolutely love Suga's artistry and his music
I heard this somg for the first time with no visuals and no lyrics and i wasnt sure how to feel about it at first. But the more it progressed the more i FELT and i was anxious and unsure why. So he did his job. The more i delved into it with the video and the lyrics and explanation and knowing more about the album in full (especially persona/shadow/ego) i truly LOVE this song now. It always makes me feel really deeply unsettled in the best way.
I really really love his solo songs in bts albums because they are so different from the other songs. When I read the lyrics of Sugas' songs, especially AgustD works i don't see it as a window into his inner self, but a slap of his true raw emotions, such as this song, Amygdala, First Love, The Last, People, and Dear my Friend.
Our hearts are broken when he sang Snooze at the Seoul concert finale😢 So many great songs from Yoongi💜
Suga became my bias because of Shadow. After that. Im an ARMY.
This song hit hard, I don't think I took a breath through the whole video. It truly made me cry the first time I listened. 😢 It's so raw you can feel his pain.
You gotta react to the longer version because it's very deep and it has a little of band in the back~😩💜✨
Summer's spot on with Yoongi's songs being thought-provoking!! Y'all have great analyses on both the lyrics and video. Thoroughly enjoyed revisiting Interlude: Shadow with CCW! 💜✨
this song really catch my attention when it's been released. As usual, I always got worried abous Suga because his song isn't just song, there will be deep meanings and his part of life will be shown in the song. The deep love towards Yoongi The True Artist will never fade, it will keep growing. thank you for the reaction guys. lots of love
I remember when this album was dropped down...
I was screaming when i saw this MV it's sooooo cool and you reminded me of this great song
"I didn't get the closure I needed." - Gabriel. This made me laugh 😂
did Gabriel just use 'hajima' to the kid lmao cute
Right 😂 I that I misheard😂😂
Suga es hermoso y gran artista,
Reaccionen a mas videos, se demoran mucho, mas canciones de bts y hignotes de bts
You all would've enjoyed his D-day concert. His raw vocals and live band... it's an amazing experience!
This in one of my top song from SUGA! Thank you guys, love all of your reactions to this song! :)
Ah, Yoongi and RMs lyrics are my kryptonite. They always have me tearing up.
Explanation vid by DKDKTV is a must for this song
THANK YOU FOR THE REACTION 😘😘😘
having to pause cuz omg. Yoongi is SUCH a pisces. as a fellow pisces i'm really feeling it. the symbol of pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions; one upstream and one downstream. its about being a person full of contrasts and opposing desires. is this song not just absolutely THAT?
It’s interesting, Suga became my husband’s bias even before finding out their birthdays are one day apart. “Contrasts” is definitely a good descriptor. 😂
YESSSS, MY FAVORITE SONG AND MV!
this song is so special thank you for your reaction. I love the whole map of the soul concept its really cool
The full songs is actually 4 minutes and is much deeper for the lyrics video
ohmygosh my favorite song from the album and from Suga 🥲this song means a lot to me
Edit: This was the song that made me love Yoongi even more. When I first heard this song and saw the MV, I literally cried a lot. Not knowing why til I realize I felt seen as a creative (although I'm not like Suga or BTS). You wanna reach your dreams but as soon as you gain attraction, the more your "inner demons" start to eat you up. Eventually, you feel like the light you wanna reach so badly becomes your enemy. But sooner or later, you need to accept your shadows, make it your friend, in order to push on forward in life. Such a deep song.
7:46 the MV is a shorter version of the song. This doesn't include the second verse.
I feel you 😢 Not even as an artist myself but I’ve always been kinda a high achiever and the way Yoongi described that feeling of reaching these dreams or goals then suddenly being confronted with your deepest fears of failure so much so you can’t even enjoy the feeling of “being on top” or having achieved this level of success is like a shot of arrow to my heart 💔
@@myouniverse0613 😭🫂
I love this song so much, it give me the chills and the tears everytime. I remember from the book, it say this is the time when his anxiety at it worst.
I LOVE this song, I’m happy you guys reacted to this !
i remember my very first time reacting to this song: the last section of the song when the switch up happens to indicate his shadow's voice was so jarring that I was shocked to the point i had no idea how i felt about it
then immediately upon my second listen & still to this very day, it remains one my favorite switch ups in a song, hands down. not only is it an absolute BANGER, but the textures + emotions created by the change in backing track AND yoongi's vocal delivery alone paint sucha clear picture, even without the (stunning) visuals of the video. it can't just be me feeling this way right??
OMG THIS IS SUCH A GOOD SONG!!
Suga is the most introverted but he puts the most of himself out in his music. Our rapline are lyrical genius. All of our OT7 is. I love our guys so much. 💜💜🥹🐱
Love this song, when his shadow talks to him gives me goosepumps.
Es una de mis canciones favoritas, de aqui escogi a Yoongi como mi bias wrecker
Shadow is one of my favorites from the rap line. Glad you guys heard it!
Last part of the song when the shadow takes over is my fave part. This is song is 👌
The part where the song changes completely is him talking to his shadow
Everything about this (and Yoongi) is legendary!
O canal tá crescendo 😍👏🏻 up
Weirdly... I always get emotional watching this video 😂 I really don't know why. 🤔 For me at the time of release, it was a pivotal step in his artistry. I was so proud of Suga and it always bring me back to that place and time whenever I watch this video. I do know that I love the breaking glass for sure. I also put my fingers up and say "Pause" every time!! 😂 Just Genius!!
Suga never looked back and today he stands on top of the world and has probably exceeded all of his musical goals and expectations. I can't wait see what he envisions in 2025, as far as career direction outside of uniting with the group. Loved your reactions, au usual.
💜💜💜💜
This song and the Mots7 album holds a special place for me and my girls. This is our "BTS New York" album. The day this album dropped they were in NYC on the Today show and we won tickets and drove 10 hours to NYC the night before the show. We literally celebrated with the rest of Army in Rockefeller Center outside freezing for hours! But it was worth it. We celebrated this album drop that day with BTS💜✨️ They did an interview and spoke about the album. It is the most sureal special feeling in your heart to experience that! This album has its own special feeling with this group of songs. This is my fav song by Suga and this is my absolute fav album. Our hearts truly belong to these 7 amazing human beings💜🫰💜🫰💜🫰
finally reaction!!!!🎉🎉 i have been waiting for a long time 😅😅
One of my faves. Guys you can check out the finale of Agust D tour in Seoul. You can see the other side of Yoongi there.
Genuinely one of my favourite songs 🥺 please listen and read the lyrics of the extended version if you get time! It’s masterful 🤍
He is a genius 😭😭💜💜
I like that you guys really tried to break down the lyrics. Excellent reaction!
one of my fav songs for sure!!
Listening to this makes me want to watch the concert again. I really hope they release it on DVD eventually.
BROOO THIS SONG HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART
Shadow is the song that made me Yoongi biased. 3 years ago when I became Army, I listened to MOTS7 constantly.
shadow is by far one of my absolute fav bts songs!!! to be honest its in a cat by itself bcz there is nothing i could compare it too
Suga is a musical genius, I want a T-Shirt with his lyrics! 💜
Are you guys gonna continue the album reviews? I think it'd be great because BTS have very distinct themes in each album and listening to the songs from start to finish gives a whole other experience than just listening to them individually. So if you do get the chance and can fit them in, id love to watch your reactions to the full albums. And watching albums in chronological order also shows you how much they have grown and their music has grown with them
They can see the MV twice, i wonder why they didn't
OMG this Song 🔥🔥💜💜
SUGA IS A GENIUS 🔥💜
Wow Summer looks amazing 🤩
