This song often goes under the radar. I always think of Tae in their old videos, this skinny boy who they were trying to feed up so he gained some weight! Although he was funny and friendly he was just going with the flow and learning about the world and himself in front of our eyes. As Suga said, he thought Tae was putting on an act and wondered how someone could be like him until he realised that was Tae's genuine personality. Naïve but with no fear, like a child. And look at him now, the most handsome man in the world!💜
So "Inner Child" is a song to his younger self - to Taehyung of the past when he was a child who smilled so brightly and had these big dreams but the path to these dreams was so rough and full of doubts. V wants to comfort his younger self he "wants to give him a hug" and reassure him. The thing is many people are embarrassed of their past when they were kids but without that past we wouldn't be the people that we are today, people are constantly changing with time it's natural - so this song reminds us to apreciate and be gentle to our past self because it shaped us. Taehyung embraces his past struggles and gives hope to his past self and also to him of the present - "It's gonna be okay since the me of today is okay" "We gon' change". The term "inner child" is actually a psychological practice you can read about it more but the song is originated exactly from that
the best way to understand this song is listening to RM explaining it in his vlive, the smiling kid is V, the person tht not believe the galaxy is V who never saw a galaxy until their bon voyage n V super excited like a child n at tht time RM realized V personality, an innocent child, a person tht still have a 'child' in him even whn V grown up become an adult, suga also notice this V trait❤❤❤
You probably have already received this recommendation before, but there's a Vlive where RM talks about each song in Map of the Soul 7 that he helped compose. He talks a bit about the galaxy thing, it's related to Taehyung's pretty unique perspective about the world. It's really interesting to learn more about Namjoon's writing process and to know how the members get to participate in it too. Thanks fot the reaction!
The one thing so unique about Tae's songs are how innocent and heartwarming the lyrics are, as you already saw his viewpoint in this song... i personally look for his songs for just pure bliss experience in the lyrical stories they provide. Well, you already reacted to two of his greatest works, but there are lot more and few of them being '4 o clock', winter bear, BLUE & GREY (which has lyrics by V sung by all of them) clearly shows how adorable and special his views are to life and things. I recommend all the three songs the most. And yeah, it was nice listening to your own view of the lyrics... won't we all interpret the songs how we feel so yeah good going. Thankyou.
Can't wait for your deep dive in Taehyung's work, out of all of his solos "Inner Child" is the least one that represents his style yet the lyrics is him talking to himself and telling himself it's ok. Originally he wanted the lyrics to be "we won't change" but RM change it to "we gon change" to give more hope, boy 😭 that like broke me cause we didn't want him to change at all 💔 The lyrics has many references to Tae's life, like the late night walks and seeing the galaxy for the first time, his younger all smiling self 🥺 Even though musically it isn't the strongest nor the one the really represents him the lyrics hit the hardest
as someone already said, I really recommend checking out his solo song "stigma" next as it does feel more like in his style. but one thing never changes - tae always talks about himself and his identity in his solos in bts albums.
The photo in the lyric video is from "Winter Bear" MV, that one he wrote it, compose it and directed the MV, he gave it out as a gift to ARMY on 1000th day of "I purple you" creation and also the day after he told us about his grandmother's death, and the lyrics and MV for that song are speculated to be about her as well.
Winter bear is not about his grandma, He got the inspiration from an old hollywood movie scene. Taehyung himself told about the movie and the scene that inspired him.
@@hbs406 that's why I said "speculated" however that particular scene in the movie was about the lead letting go of the time he gets to have with his late father in his time travel so he can focus on the future and welcoming his unborn child... the whole movie is about letting go of the past and trying to live your present as it is, it's normal for people to make the connection
I love how tae is just getting even better at singing, he keeps trying different things, in the beginning he used mostly his deep voice that is amazing, but he's also doing many high notes in the songs recently and I'm loving it
Taehyung writing a song and singing it to his younger 'self' is such an intimate feeling 💕 How he is consoling his inner child that he is happy now. How he is confessing that remembering about the little Taehyung's happiness makes him smile now. His innocence is all conveyed in the song 💜 Like his soulmate says : "Taehyung is the most innocent out of all of us" ~ Jimin This song puts me in a nice mood, and it's also comforting and reminds me about little me also. Thankyou for reacting to BTS 💕 Hope you get to Taehyung's other masterpieces soon !
It's so interesting that you picked inner child out of all his solo songs to me inner child represents him lyrically a lot but it didn't scream "taehyung" to me , I would expect Jin to sing it but not tae , personally it's one of my favorite solo songs ever . if you want to see a song that shows his music taste check out "stigma"
V had kind of a rough childhood. His family was poor and his parents had to go away to work and left him to be raised mostly by his grandmother on her farm. I’m sure it must have been lonely, and he would have missed and worried about his parents a lot. This is him trying to send a message of hope and encouragement to that child version of himself that things in his life will get better, and that the doubtful future is actually bright for them. (And by them I mean him.)
This song is basically taehyung talking to his younger self. When he said I used to not believe in galaxies, but I actually saw the silver galaxy, for me, is like him saying he never thought what they achieved could have ever happened, but he now tells his young self that he saw better things that he never even imagined :) Also galaxies are often referenced in BTS songs. In the song Magic Shop, they tell ARMY that there's a galaxy inside each one of us, a certain greatness inside us all. You'll also see this in the song Mikrokosmos. :)
Also, since they often reference galaxies in songs they dedicate to ARMY, I can't help but think that they draw inspiration from how they see ARMYs with their ARMY bombs on stage, like galaxies shining for BTS. If you look at this from BTS' perspective, Taehyung saying 'You just have to look at my galaxies, You just have to be showered by those stars" is like him telling his old struggling self to just look at us, their very own stars with army bombs in tough times, because that's what he did back then 😊 But that's just my interpretation!
On hindsight, it can also be that the galaxies he should be looking at is his own inner greatness and inner strength (like how galaxies were referred to in Magic Shoop). You see, BTS lyrics are always so poetically done and layered, there's so much room for interpretation from wherever perspective you want to look at it. This is why I watch your reactions because you take time to look into their lyrics which for me is BTS' strongest asset that you don't really often see in a lot of songs today 😊
Generally whenever BTS refers to stars or galaxies they are referring to ARMY, because ARMY bombs look like stars in concert. He is most likely, given his feelings about ARMY, saying to himself everything is going to be ok because we have ARMY in the future.
Love Tae's solos. This one surprised me since it was so differentfrom his others, but I love it. My favorite v song us "snow flower". I love his jazz side.
It was challenging for me to watch your review of BTS Taehyung’s INNER CHILD… finally took a chance today… still burst into tears hearing him sing to his imagined, earlier self “ you’re my boy, my boy, my boy, my boy!” … knowing some of what Taehyung .. and his brothers went thru their earlier years… and also hearing him sing how he wants to give his current world to his past inner child self… aaah I’m a mess!😭😜🙃 Thx for your time and review!
Essa música é muito linda, muito especial. Tae é muito perfeito,a voz dele é única e me transmite uma paz incrível. Sim, Kim Taehyung solo é meu conceito de cantor. Estou muito ansiosa pela sua mixtape.🙋🇧🇷🇧🇷💜💜💜💜
Well i like this song a lot You pick a live where u can't see that at the end when you hear a "messy" chorus that this chorus was in fact Army who where all singing through their own screen. Lot of Army were kinda bit ashamed because it sounded a bit messy. I think V noticed it and he tried to sing over them but (unfortunately once again) his mic's sound was not well balanced so WE can barely hear him vocalizing over Army chorus. On an other live u can actually see all those Army at the end and V was wearing exactly the same outfit as this kiddo.
I think this is the song after zero o'clock on the album 🤔 also this performance is online so no audience and unusual camera work just like the zero o'clock performance
In the song Inner Children, it is Tae who meets a child Tae who is with his past. It is the Tae of today meeting the Tae of yesterday so that the Tae of tomorrow can be born and together the 3 Tae past, present and future seeking happiness.
I'm a therapist and I studied the lyrics of this song in a therapeutic way, linking Tae's life and his personal maturation There is a technique that resembles regression and in the music he reports very direct things that are achieved in these specific therapies. I don't know if he did this therapy and reported the experience in music. I believe so.
Bro! If u think this song and singularity was awesome then u should watch his song stigma, but be prepared for his high note at the end it was lit 🖤🖤🖤 also awesome reaction
Thanks to your reactions..if you want please react and watch #BTS KIM TAEHYUNG "SWEET NIGHT"its amzing vocals of V.and i promise you enjoy it.thanks in advance stay safe and healthy
For whatever reason, I've avoided this song until now. I think I've done myself a disservice. Thank you for another thoughtful and insightful reaction.
Probably one of my favourite songs from the solo stuff. It brings such a warm and hopeful feeling to me everytime I hear it. Real bummer is that the production of Map of the Soul online concert completely butchered mixing of the actual mics and backing vocals like at 18:20. You can clearly see them singing live but in some performances it is almost impossible to hear that, because level of volume like 3 times lower than backing track for no reason.
This might be an unpopular opinion but of all of Tae's solos, this is possibly my least favourite, he has so much vocal talent and this performance doesn't do it justice, now "Stigma" is the complete opposite, in my opinion.
Not really, this is one of taehyung's most prominent vocal performances. Just because there isn't that one hight note for the shock factor or if he is not using his falsettos all the time, doesn't mean it doesn't do his ability justice. You can see that he has improved like crazy in this performance. This is not a super easy song to sing. He needs to be able to make people feel.
@@hbs406 actually, I prefer his lower tones, his chest voice. That's why this isn't MY favourite. Nothing to do with high notes and shock factors. I personally "feel" his songs when he sits in his natural register.
V and kid were dressed identical on first day of ON:E. V was singing end of song while CRYING and listening to those deleyed ARMY voices/chant. Depend on which camera you chose during live concert you can see/miss those moments. For ON:E many army were chosen to be seen/heard back on those screens during concert. It was first time to see/hear Army after so long and Jimin during same concert cried when they told him that those Army voices were real one (not some recording) with delay since bts is singing, Army is listening around the world and then sound goes back to bts on concert to hear that. When Jimin was told that he just cried and cried. V knew about that and avoided crying on camera by turning his back to them and looking up. Still you could see him crying on different camera. You can't find that on DVD version of concert, they got other angles. th-cam.com/video/7iIa9PZWC2s/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/ylRqU3vx7Kw/w-d-xo.html

This song often goes under the radar. I always think of Tae in their old videos, this skinny boy who they were trying to feed up so he gained some weight! Although he was funny and friendly he was just going with the flow and learning about the world and himself in front of our eyes. As Suga said, he thought Tae was putting on an act and wondered how someone could be like him until he realised that was Tae's genuine personality. Naïve but with no fear, like a child. And look at him now, the most handsome man in the world!💜
:( yes..proud of him
So "Inner Child" is a song to his younger self - to Taehyung of the past when he was a child who smilled so brightly and had these big dreams but the path to these dreams was so rough and full of doubts. V wants to comfort his younger self he "wants to give him a hug" and reassure him. The thing is many people are embarrassed of their past when they were kids but without that past we wouldn't be the people that we are today, people are constantly changing with time it's natural - so this song reminds us to apreciate and be gentle to our past self because it shaped us. Taehyung embraces his past struggles and gives hope to his past self and also to him of the present - "It's gonna be okay since the me of today is okay" "We gon' change". The term "inner child" is actually a psychological practice you can read about it more but the song is originated exactly from that

It is a beautiful letter to himself, to his young self, I almost cry everytime I listen to the song even though it is pretty upbeat ❤

This song would have been great live with the Live Audience especially the "We gonna change" part. But the covid hit and he only performed it online.
I love how tae is just getting even better at singing, he keeps trying different things, in the beginning he used mostly his deep voice that is amazing, but he's also doing many high notes in the songs recently and I'm loving it
The man of beauty my dr Handsome V so beautiful man 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

The vibe is quite similar to their song on Hwarang right?
@@chubbylittlebee
Kinda yeah
Sweet Night and Christmas Tree screams V's style to me. Just my opinion.
@@misslouie6742
I agree with you and snow flower too
I wrote the same thing about Stigma hahahah

One of my favorite Tae songs. Beautifully written. Beautifully sung. Thank you for drawing attention to the lyrics in your reactions.
Love Taehyung’s “Inner Child”. Hope you watched his live performance when they had their on line concert “BE”.
When I do my lyric breakdowns I always watch a lyric video and a LIVE performance, I hope you enjoy the video!
Generally whenever BTS refers to stars or galaxies they are referring to ARMY, because ARMY bombs look like stars in concert. He is most likely, given his feelings about ARMY, saying to himself everything is going to be ok because we have ARMY in the future.
"maybe it is his real child" man you made me LAUGH🤣🤣
Inner child always makes me cry. Sort of a comfort song for me
Thanks for the reaction, I love Taehyung's voice! 💜
Thank you for watching!
V mah bias💜
V voice so wonderful....he have sexy voice and soulful....🥰💜😘😘😘
You wanna see some impressive vocals from V? You need to watch Stigma live. You’re gonna be blown away with how high he goes 💜
Inner Child is on my jogging playlist ! Thank you for your reaction
17:17 yes, you are absolutely right
Thank you for watching!
@@DestructiveMediaYT thanks for reaction 💜
Love Tae's solos. This one surprised me since it was so differentfrom his others, but I love it. My favorite v song us "snow flower". I love his jazz side.
the WHOLE song is just tae talking about/to his younger self 🥺💜
waiting 😁 it'll be my first premiere
😁
the songs that scream 'V' or 'Tae' the most in my opinion are STIGMA and SNOW FLOWER. you should definitely check those out
You should react to V stigma
20:57 He’s 27 years old.
Kindly check V’s stigma live performance, it’s really good! And Blue and Gray which he wrote.
Taehyung's voice is soooo good 🥰🔥🔥🔥. This is one of my favourite of his solo songs. His songs are very very good 💜💜💜
My boy V!! 💜
I think the live was from a 2 day live and one of the days he had the exact same clothes as "his younger self" so it was even more obvious. 😊
Thank you for your reaction...I love this song 💜💜
love u
I really loved this song, the sound of it is a bit broadway to me. What a pity we never got a mots tour, this would’ve been so good.
It was challenging for me to watch your review of BTS Taehyung’s INNER CHILD… finally took a chance today… still burst into tears hearing him sing to his imagined, earlier self “ you’re my boy, my boy, my boy, my boy!” … knowing some of what Taehyung .. and his brothers went thru their earlier years… and also hearing him sing how he wants to give his current world to his past inner child self… aaah I’m a mess!😭😜🙃 Thx for your time and review!

STIGMA LIVE PERFORMANCE
SNOW FLOWER
SWEET NIGHT
The best V song that display his high and low notes is 'Stigma'. There's also a live performance of it.
It about his young self
Essa música é muito linda, muito especial. Tae é muito perfeito,a voz dele é única e me transmite uma paz incrível. Sim, Kim Taehyung solo é meu conceito de cantor. Estou muito ansiosa pela sua mixtape.🙋🇧🇷🇧🇷💜💜💜💜
