The lyrics are based on RM speech during their hyyh concert on 2015
Also he co-wrote the song.
React to Bts- ugh on yet to come concert on the CZcams channel “prime video Mexico”
@@SirHairless Yes I reacted to and already subscribred thanks the Other vocal line song that you will enjoy a los is the truth untold. Regards

SK has the highest rate of youth suicide in OECD countries. There is a lot of pressure to do well. This song has a lot of meaning for many. Saying. Come looking in your heart. Have a cup of tea. It will be okay. You are important. Such an important message.
🙏
This is a special song for ARMY and has great meaning. It basically, at the end, is saying that ARMY gives the best to BTS (and helps them be their best), so they want us to also give our best to ourselves. Lovely sentiment. I never enjoyed rap before BTS. Now I am an ardent fan of the rap line. I find the rap and vocals to be very cohesive throughout all of BTS's work. I don't really know of any other group that incorporates both so well and so often. Just another thing that makes them special. I would challenge some of your commentors below to listen to a few more BTS songs before deciding. They are extraordinary because they cover so many genres - not just pop. 95% of their music is written/composed by themselves so they have complete freedom to do as they wish. Thank you for the knowledgeable reaction.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I'm keen to see music by them that would fit into different genres 🎶
The lights are called ARMY Bombs. The current models sync up via bluetooth and can be centrally controlled through an app, allowing formations of lights in the crowds, such as hearts.

@SirHairless We use the magnifying glass emoji. 🔎🔍🔎 😊
this song is so comforting to me! i was an elementary school student when i found bts and they helped me so much in school, this song as well is another reminder that there is a place for you with them, that even when the world is hurting you, you still belong somewhere. even if the song is not all that structurally interesting, i find the lyrics the most important part of it. i’m a big fan of lie and house of cards and all, but i think these songs where they directly talk to us (like 2! 3! for example) touch something inside of me as a fan. i was is a really bad place mentally for most of the time i’ve been a fan (since 2014) and they were one of the only things that helped encourage me to see each day through.
About the galaxy, you spotted it well. In Mikrokosmos (bts song), each individual is describe as a precious light with our own stories, history, rings in a tree. And together we form a universe, a galaxy. In the dark we see each other shining and speaking the same, unified, we give each other strength and shine more brightly. Fyi, RM writes a lot of bts song lyrics and he loves some themes like galaxies etc he finds them beautiful to write with
This song lyrics is based on RM speech on the hyyh concert. He also co-wrote the song.
All of the rappers sing every now and then, but j-hope is the one among them most likely to do it. He's also sometimes in the background vocals. He was introduced during their early days as what the idol industry calls a "sub-vocal", just like Jungkook was introduced as a "sub-rapper" and had some rap bars at the beginning
You are correct in that V is a baritone with a high range. He harmonizes in octaves with Jimin. The rappers all can and do sing, even J-hope who was singing here.
it's a concert in japan, so they are speaking japanese.
jk is saying something like "ah i want to hear armys (the audience) voice more"
and jhope and the others are chiming in with things like "more" and "louder"
Cool, thanks! 🇯🇵
As you mentioned, V takes care of the low notes, because he is the only baritone in the vocal line, he also has a natural deep voice; but it should be noted that his vocal range is the widest of the group and he has great vocal versatility.
As for not as, he is the one who gives the lowest in the vocal line (rappers are baritones like him), but he is also able to sound without depth and high pitched.
Most of the songs of BTS are in the 4th and 5th octaves, V usually sings in the same notes as the tenors but sounds different because of the thickness of his voice, he can also reach high notes in the 5th similar to those of Jin and Jimin.
And something else you mentioned when talking about rappers, actually everyone can do melodic rap and even sing, just like vocalists can rap.
It is Jin who has the wildest range, not V.

Nice reaction. The screaming starts when RM starts rapping because the members all start to move to different areas of the stage to have contact with everyone. You will notice there is no dancing. This song is all about interaction with ARMY & BTS.
As a non music person I found this musical analysis endlessly fascinating. So thank you. There was a behind the scene filming of Black Swan in a theatre in LA where Taehyung or V was fooling around pretending to sing the opera. He sounded like he could be an opera singer. A tenor perhaps. I am curious to see what you think. It is only a split second though. Two of the rap line were underground rappers. J Hope was a dancer who became a rapper. Thanks again!
14:15
Yes, jhope is mainly a rapper but he does incorporate his vocals in songs from time to time
Do react to BTS Jin's Epiphany LIVE. I'm sure you will love from your music preferences
And Awake! Personally, I love the strings in that one. ❤
they once did an army survey (literally hundred of thousands armys have submitted their answers) and the "What's your comfort song?" top list was:
1. Magic Shop
2. Answer: Love Myself
3. Life Goes On
4. Spring Day
5. Mikrokosmos
i'd love you to see Mikrokosmos live performance actually, there's one posted on BANGTANTV channel, Special Cip SY in Seoul 2021BTSFesta 💜
I completely agree with most of this!
Mine are al of those, except instead of Spring Day and Mikrokosmos I listen to Fly To My Room and Paradise (in no particular order) and Dream Glow.
My list is maybe in a different order but it all works :) I actually lean on Zero O'Clock a fair amount., and Spring Day isn't a comfort song for me exactly. But this list doesn't surprise me at all.
I actually thought of Mikrokosmos too, especially when he mentioned the galaxy theme and the army bombs. Yes, that reference isn't an accident :) and Mikrokosmos is exactly that. Plus it's just a lovely song.
I never used to listen to rap, but then I discovered bts, and now I love it. With rapping it's more rhythm and cadence that I listen for when I don't immediately understand the language. That said though, I grew up not understanding 70% of the lyrics to the music i listened to. It wasn't until I learned English i could latch on to the lyrics. To this day there are Michael Jackson songs i know very well that i don't know the lyrics to.
Other Army have provided the explanation to this song. Its a great comfort to Army and such a special song. BTS and Army has such a special bond and songs like this cant really be explained.
If you want to continue discovering new songs by BTS and its members, I recommend these, you will probably like more musically than Magic shop:
-Stigma (V)
-Awake (JIN)
-Outro Tear (Rap Line)
-The truth untold (Vocal Line)
-Film out (Group song)
I love your analysis, keep it up
Agreed! I might toss Your Eyes Tell onto this list, and a few more of their solo songs - RM's Wildflower, maybe? Yoongi's Snooze, especially with some of the background about how the piano part came about. I'm trying to decide on a Hobi solo but I'm not sure if More would be an interesting one to analyze...
For so many people I'd be suggesting Blood Sweat and Tears.... on a different reaction I did suggest he do Save Me and I'm Fine back to back :D
I really loved your list and just wanted to toss a few more ideas onto the end of it. :)
@@evantesseract737 thank you, I also love the songs you added 🫶
Somebody has suggested you react to Yoongi’s (as August D) ‘Snooze’. It’s an interesting one with the piano part written by Ryuichi Sakamoto and the sung part by The Rose’s, Woosung.
J-Hope is a lead rapper and sub vocalist. He isn’t counted as part of the vocal line but he sings a lot and harmonises really well with the vocalists. He’s actually their lead dancer and dance captain.
The call and response in this is a very important part. JK will sometimes start singing that as he leaves the stage and it initiates quite an amazing feeling as he sings it and the audience responds. There’s a sketch that goes with it in which JK,is feeling very down and goes to the Magic Shop where shopkeeper, Jimin, tries to find a way to heal him by sending him to see the other members who each try but fail until eventually he’s given something which gladdens his heart.
It’s always worth looking at Doolset Lyrics to find a good translation of their songs. The South Korean audiences react to the rappers because they understand what they’re saying. Those of us who don’t speak Korean have to work at it.
BTW, most Idol groups have their own light stick. BTS’ ARMY Bombs are synched to the stage.
I think V's Singularity is one you would find interesting from a musical POV :)
I love this song for it's lyrics but perhaps things like V's Tiny Desk would be a better recommendation for this channel. Or some of RM's works - Wildflower, Lost!, Come Back to Me.
Yes the audience is huge.
V is a baritone.
J hope sings very nicely as well as rapping, watch their Tiny Desk concert, great songs and emotions.
Rapping and singing are basic to many BTS songs, the lyrics are always relevant.
Another song I think you would enjoy is Crystal Snow, some beautiful singing.
V has the biggest range and is more naturally a baritone. If you can, you will get a better idea if you listen to the Tiny Desk concert or the MTV recording of the cover of Coldplay's Fix You. If you choose to listen to any of their individual ones, V's Tiny Desk one is quite interesting. It is more in the jazz genre.
Check out Jin's and V's solo songs.
For V I suggest his tiny desk korea for live performance
And for Jin- Astronaut MV
RE crowd screaming loudest for rap sections: BTS started as a hip hop group, so there is that, but a big component is that is time for the 3 rappers to shine, so the screaming is for the members themselves.
This is BTS they are much better Live than studio not to many billboard Top Ten artist can handle live to be honest... With love from Spain🇪🇸
Personally I like the song but than I'm not a musician and can't hear "all that" untill an expert like you shows it to me.
But to me sound and lyrics are beautiful.
Thank you!
Galaxy, Wings, Night and similar themes play a big roll in BTS lyrics as they are about moving forward and up.
"The magic shop is a technique used in psychodrama. A therapist helps the protagonist create an imaginary magic shop where the protagonist can sell whatever they would like and buy whatever they would like."
Usually something "bad" is exchanged for something "good". Since we are talking about therapy we are exchanging emotions not physical things. For example exchanging hesitation for sureness.
BTS has song like Mikrokosmos, 134340, Moon (Jin), moonchild (RM) - some of the songs landed on a Nasa playlist for the next moon mission.
BTS Queen is the song "Spring Day" - it's beautiful and hasn't left Korean charts since 2017 - It's SK longest charting song and there can't be many records it has not broken.
As a musician I think you may like Suga's song that he dropped under Agust D "Snooze (feat. Ryuichi Sakamoto, WOOSUNG of The Rose)" in 2023.
(May Ryuichi Sakamoto rest in peace)
You nice! Keep going! 💜
About time! This is a real gem of a performance
O mais importante é q essa música é presente para conforto dos ARMYS . Através da legenda vc entenderá. É inexplicável o sentimento mútuo. aprenda sobre os meninos através do guia do BTS. Vc vai se surpreender
Watch BTS Tiny Desk
V ‘s Singularity live you’ll enjoy his falsetto voice.
He would definitely love this!
Please do the tiny desk with BTS
you MUST check V's Tiny Desk!!! it's a piece of art and a really good video to relax!!! the bass, guitar, sax, soprano sax, the chorus, the keyboard and drums... all of that with his baritone voice it's just chef kiss!!!
Love this song!! It’s so beautiful to witness, especially during a concert, I admit I bawled my eyes out when I saw them sing it live. Great analysis too, will be waiting for more BTS reactions:) 💜
V actually has two 2-3 octaves he can hit high notes and sing in really low voice he has a song called (stigma) it’s like r&b please react to the live performance of it
Yes please I want a reaction to Stigma* too
omg not sigma lmaoo that made me laugh 😭😭 but yes!!
Yes please, Stigma live.
V can only sing on 2 octaves according to Yoongi. He said in Suchwita that Jin was the only one in the team able to sing on 3 octaves. We love his impressive range for a baritone though! Such a beautiful and soulful voice...
@@kuroro9949 “Kim Taehyung:
The lowest note I’ve heard him hit is an Eb2 (Taehyung vs Yoongi High and Low Note Battle), but the lowest one I’ve heard him properly sing is a G2 .
(Hug Me: 안아줘 (Hug me) performed by V, j-hope -0:43)
The highest note I’ve heard him sing is a G5.
(His high note it ‘Stigma’: BTS V - 'Stigma' [Han|Rom|Eng lyrics] [FULL Version] -3:05)
Eb2 to G5 is 3 octaves, 2 tones and a semitone.”
Thank you for this reaction. Magic shop is a comfort song and it does it's job perfectly. I listen to it always when feeling down, it heals my soul and uplifts my spirit. I discovered BTS 1,5 years ago when I was at my lowest and they saved me.
I would like to hear your thoughts on one of my favorite BTS songs - 134340. The production and the lyrics of this song are so unusual and fresh. Hope you can listen to it. Good luck and take care of yourself.
Jimin voice so beautiful ❤❤
Thanks for your explanation. JK's lyrics and the audience participation is what I love most about Magic Shop. I always sit here on my couch smiling as I listen to it. I would love to be in the audience for a performance of this or any of their conerts. .
V is a baritone. But he is known for his amazing vocal range, and he loves to sing jazzy r&b tunes.
"louder than bombs" please...
You are right about V having a lower set voice, generally speaking. He does also have quite a wide range, which comes in handy, because BTS songs can go quite high. 😊 His voice goes extremely well with Jimin's, listen to Mikrokosmos on Jimmy Fallon to hear that. As for the rap...you might want to listen to Daechwita and see what you think about that. 😊
I also rarely listen to rap before till I found BTS which has relatable and meaningful lyrics once you get to know them more.
Check out RM's new stuff. He's a rapper, but he has some more complex musicality that I think you'd find interesting.
I was thinking of Wildflower for sure. But there's a lot of interesting stuff on that album... now that I'm thinking about it, Change pt. 2 maybe
Or OMG all of RPWP I just honestly haven't digested it enough myself yet to know what to recommend :D
Looking forward to you discovering & reacting to BTS! 💜
You gotta do V's Stigma live....you won't regret it.
Звучание любимого голоса Ви восхитителен
Thanks for keeping it real, hearing your analysis lets me learn more about BTS songs musically. BTS has a trove of music across diffferent genres with great production, I'm looking forward to your next reaction video about them!
Absolutely LOVE this!! Thank you! 💜💜💜💜💜
V - Stigma can show his range to you. Singularity and Slow dancing can show his style…
The first time I listened to Magic Shop, I also felt the same way. I thought, “ Not my type of song.” I was not an ARMY then. Now, I can’t listen to it without tearing up. It’s so beautiful but the beauty of the song really comes once you get to know the essence of BTS and who they are and what they mean to ARMY which is so much more than just fave artists to fans. The meaning of the song and their intention behind it is so much more than what can be summarized in a few words. Thank you for reacting. More power to your channel.
I think ARMY (BTS fans) like both the rap & vocals. I was never a huge rap fan before this, I was super picky about what rap I liked, but BTS fits the bill. I love hearing the rapline songs, and the vocal line songs, and love them the most when they're all together. I'm 51 btw, & their music has saved my life & kept me going through the years of tragedy- losing my mom ,sister, sisters husband and an auntie in a 4 month period then 2 years later losing my husband plus other random trauma lol. They heal the soul just by being themselves & singing/rapping about their thoughts & experiences. BTS & ARMY have been through a lot together. It feels like more than your standard para social relationship
💜
Eta 15:54 it is an amazing experience to be with them in concert. It's truly magical. Best concert of my life and I've seen almost all genres in concert
V has the widest range in the group. He is so good at go high and go low. Pls react his solo songs too
Check wildflower by RM pleasee, its a rap song with deep lyrics and interesting sound, sooo good. Its from his solo album Indigo😊
The lyrics are based on RM speech during their hyyh concert.
Also he co-wrote the song.
Love the song and your reactions
Well, they have over 350+ songs in their catalog with group and solo work, so I imagine there's something you'll like more. This song really is special to Army but perhaps something like their NPR Tiny Desk concert would be more appealing to you. I do, however, enjoy your breakdown. Borahae my friend.
I never mind hearing that a song isn't to someone's taste, you know? It's all good. I also like some sounds more than others 😂
Please react to BTS Louder than Bombs
Yessss, this is a VERY special Army (fan) song! To me so much so; that elements such as the call/response was incorporated into my first Tattoo !!!
I really love your reactions and i really recommend you to react to Tiny desk concert where they sing 3 songs :)
I look forward to your next reaction :)
Thanks for the recommendation!
beautiful analysis
If you like rapping and never listen to bts rapline you are missing so much buddy. You must try it. They are amazing even solo and fire in trio. 💜
In general I'd say I don't like rapping. This is a huge generalisation as there are some rap songs I like - sometimes you just like songs, even if they're not what you'd typically like - but yeah, in general I'm not a huge rap fan
MY FAVE SONG
suggested by youtube, thank you , now I have to go back to your first reaction video and keep watching from there
You are correct that V is a more natural baritone but he does have quite a range and can sing some surprisingly high notes.
as always highly interesting video. thank you very much. bts puts a very high priority on peforming the music, so they often write music for the stage first & foremost. the stage IS the magic shop for them & us, so yea, the concert experience is always the most intended experience for them when creating & composing.
don't sleep on the musicality of the rapline though. you reacted to vocal line song so you could pin point their differences so well alrady, but, (while this song was certainly not a rap heavy song) if you would (through a rapline song for example) look at their rapping just as another instrument they use to convey the music, you'd see how DIFFERENT they are in their musicallity. the simplest summary army often uses is, RM goes with the flow. suga goes against the flow & jhope invents a flow. same goes with their lyris (or it's poetry better said) that is inseparable from bts's music. one analyses the world. one criticizes the world, one celebrates the world. same goes to the dancing, being one of their instruments to convey the intention of the music. it ALL plays into the orchestra of BTS's *music* . and this whole package is what makes their art so unique, special and effecitive.
ps, you would have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun reacting to RM's newest solo album "right place wrong person" as the title already implies, it's quite alternative, jazzy, experimental, out of the box, & just such a free playground. i'd LOVE to see your analysis around it!!!
BTS use space/galaxy as a theme quite frequently! Other common motifs are whales, bulletproof, and ocean vs desert.
Other recommendations: On, Black Swan, Louder than Bombs
Estaba esperando una reacción a BTS completo, me encantan tus análisis. Ojalá hagas más
The "ay ay" bits are a remnant of classic hip hop "hype men" echoes.
My personal musical taste is very diverse. As a kid, my parents listened to a lot of classical music, big band music, folk and country music and early rock. It really set me up to have a deep appreciation for the many ways music as an art form can be expressed. I discovered rap back in the early days of hip hop and fell in love with its lyricism and cadence. I think rap music and melodic music hits me in very different ways (maybe different parts of my brain?) I love that I can have it all as a music fan by just listening to what fills my heart. BTS came to me later in life and I have fallen in love with their music and the message in their lyrics. I just realized how often I say 'fell in love" when talking about music, lol. But to be fair, when people around me have disappointed me, music never has. So love is perfect word to describe my relationship with it.
I think I recommended "Pied Piper" and "Louder Than Bombs" in an earlier video of yours.. I want to add "Dope" since I believe you might quite like the music production of those songs.. 😊💜
Thank you for this reaction sirrrr😊
I can't wait for more of your BTS analyses :) "Magic Shop" is a song that had to grow on me coz, yes, musically there were other more outstanding ones for me. But then a day came when the message got through on a very dark day: "you give me the best of me, so you'll give you the best of you", tears fell and this song is never ever not gonna be beautiful to me, whether it's musically intricate or not :) Also, "magic shop" is a name of a psychotherapy technique and once you read up on it, you understand the "so show me, I'll show you" line's deeper meaning. Enjoy the journey!
I really do so much enjoy your BTS reactions! Sure hope to see more😊💜
I love this song 💜
Bts "So What" performance is ery awsome❤❤
Thank you for your intricate analysis of the musical infrastructure of "Magic Shop"! 💜 I've binged all of your BTS reactions just now and much enjoyed all of them; I would recommend the jazzy solo "Stigma" by V and the more classically inspired trap-pop track "Black Swan"!
Thank you! And for the recommendations 👌
The rappers in BTS are some of the best I’ve ever heard. I do believe ARMY overall loves all 7 (though of course there are solo Stan’s) I fell in love with the rapline first but love everyone. The 3 rappers, in particular RM and Suga have often been the main writers for BTS.
I came in via Jungkook and ended up ultimately falling for all of them but especially Suga 😂 I didn't even listen to rap before, and now I notice all the little details of their writing and delivery.
Thank you for your insightful analysis!
You may check out "On Kinetic Manifesto" - my all time favorite BTS song so far.
As for the rap, I love the lyrics, the diverse rhythm and the intense, expressive performances. You may check out the rap song "UGH" in the video "BTS UGH explained by a Korean".
💜
I am a huge rapline fan, if you've not listened to a lot of hip-hop you might not get the feel/vibe or influences, but RM, Suga, and J-Hope are outstanding rappers and producers. They each have their own full albums of rap and hip-hop music.
I'm also a classically trained singer with a music degree that teaches music professionally. I love your analysis!
Boa noite, vc precisa ver a legenda para entender o q eles falam. As músicas do BTS são muito potentes. Antes de assistir as apresentações veja a letra e o significado sempre. Todas as reações tem q ter legendas, isso é obrigatório. Só assim vc poderá entender o amor entre BTS e ARMY. Sou uma ARMY de 47 anos com orgulho. Amo esses 7 anjos maravilhosos.
Good evening, yes the subtitles are in the video
Love BTS💜
Ahhh V baby . You're so special . Does your voice remain in a lower tone? comic . he has a perfect voice. It's only appropriate to say it that wa😂
Thanks for your reaction and sharing your thoughts on Magic Shop! Given your stated preference for musically interesting songs, I’d love to hear your thoughts on any of RM’s new music in Right Place, Wrong Person. It’s somewhat of an alternative/experimental album, and has some really interesting composition. Domodachi, Lost, and Come Back to Me all have videos and could be interesting to check out. 😁💜
The “aye aye” in the rap parts are usually done only on a live stage, you won’t hear that on studio recordings ( not that I have noticed anyway). It is like supporting or emphasizing the rap. Not sure how exactly to say that, besides that they are not really an official part of the song.
I am not a big rap fan, but with BTS, I do enjoy it more especially Suga’s rap. I have not been able to get into the rap line songs such as the Cyphers, but I do appreciate their talent in that area.
Yeah the live rap ad libs aren't usually on the track, you're totally right. It's a performance thing, hyping up your rapper. I was actually a little startled he didn't seem to know that, but I guess a lot depends on your musical background 💜
you have to turn CC on and choose english for lyrics and every single BTS song you can find a video with eng subs. try putting eng subs with title in your search.
This song (and this performance in particular) made me ARMY. I'm not sure if it was just because it was something I needed to hear at the time or it was simply because of how catchy it is to me, but while I had heard most of BTS' title tracks before I heard this song, this was the moment when completely fell for them. I literally remember all of a sudden feeling so much love for these guys that I didn't know what to do with myself and I ended up spending the rest of the day learning hangul, so I could learn the lyrics and sing along with them (with absolutely terrible pronouncition 😆).
That being said, I do understand that it's less interesting from the music perspective than something like Lie or House of Cards.
Yeah it's much more about connecting and delivering a message than anything else.
I fell for them - and especially JK - pretty hard through this song. I just kept thinking about its emotional and mental health impact, and it hit me that they didn't have to do this, but they did it anyway. It drove home how deeply they mean what they say and how much they care about people's well-being.
BTS NPR Tiny desk performance pleaseee
The singers are actually much more popular than the rapline as far as numbers. The reason the crowd was going wild was because the individual members started to walk out into the crowd (onto the thrust stages) at the point where RM starts rapping. So you will see the crowd continue to go wild as it switches back to the singers as well.
I could be wrong, but I believe the GALAXY they are talking about, is the BTS galaxy, that is shared with Army. There is a whole world that is incorporated in BTS music. I don’t understand it all, but would love to hear where we can go to get information on the .”BTS World.” 😏 I find BTS can be “Intimate” with Army, even though they are in such a large setting. ❤🇺🇸
Thank you for taking the time to learn the names of all the members and their roles in the group.
I enjoy BTS having a rap-/vocal- line because it gives so much variety to their music. You asked about what moved us more - lyrics in the rap part or the vocal part. To me, it all blends nicely because the rap part allows to say more (more words, more complex message) while vocals build and make emotions flow and make it easier to participate in the song (at least to me singing alongside is easier then the rap parts).
There are still lots of really cool BTS songs that you must react to, please make lots of reactions to BTS songs, we will be back to watch
j-hope is a bit of a hybrid -- he's a recognized rapper who does subvocal and many "in between" rap/singing portions.
Some thoughts about BTS rap:
* RM and SUGA were underground rappers from before the group's 2013 debut. Producer/director Bang Si-hyuk chose them for those talents, as well as their abilities as musical composers, lyricists, and producers. They didn't see themselves as vocalists. J-hope was added as a highly trained national-award-winning street dancer. He had no experience singing. He eagerly learned rap from his roommates RM and SUGA. Over time, producer/director Bang changed the concept of the group to include singers. He searched for and added singers, one by one. He decided the group was complete when he added Jimin as the 7th member, and BTS debuted 6 months later. As you might guess, the story is more complicated, but this is the basic explanation of how BTS came to have 3 rappers and 4 vocalists.
* Rap puts a lot of ideas into a song quickly. Ideal for our guys who have a lot to say!
* In many of their songs, each rapper takes a different aspect of the subject. This allows for exploring a variety of viewpoints and attitudes, all in one song.
* Rap in general has an interactive dynamic. The "Aye-aye!" interjections are how the others hype up the one currently rapping. BTS often hype each other when they perform free-form, without choreography. It's a hip hop thing.
[When they are doing choreo, it is serious business! But even then they do ad libs when the energy is high.]
* There is one more component to consider besides lyrics and melody, and that's rhythm. Fans of rap are fascinated with rhythm patterns, tone of voice, speed, and the vibe they are experiencing. Rap connoisseurs can enjoy BTS music purely for how it makes them feel. BUT, you make an excellent point. Words are for conveying ideas! In the early years, RM and SUGA voiced sadness that some fans (the loudest ones) were wild for BTS's dancing, good looks, voices, and personalities, but didn't care to notice lyrics. They put a lot of thought into writing those words! And RM's lyrics have word-play, double entendre, reference great literature, etc. For many of us, enjoying a new BTS song comes in stages. We take in all we can see and the music we hear. Then we go back to learn the lyrics. And then we find out there is more meaning in what we saw and heard!
Thanks for being a kind, thoughtful reactor who shares so many great insights into the music of BTS! ARMYs love discussion, sharing personal insights, and learning more about BTS music.💜
Aprendí mucho contigo, gracias
BTS ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL GOOD
I would recommend "Crystal snow" live performance by BTS. That song has amazing vocal and rap parts. Also their "Come back home" the best for me
I think you might like Your Eyes Tell. It’s a Japanese song made for a Japanese movie, a soundtrack. It’s a very beautiful song by BTS 💜
Your breakdown and analysis is so very interesting. Looking forward to seeing more of your BTS reaction and analysis.
The light sticks are common in kpop. Most groups have one for their fans. When you attend a concert you can sync them and they become part of the light show!
This song is a fan favorite because it was made for the BTS fans, ARMY. It is about BTS story with us, it's about our story.
Check out V's solo song Stigma. You will see he has an incredible range.
Jimin’s voice always comforts me
