- Dreamcatcher's final album of the Apocalypse trilogy, From Us is arguably one of my favorite mini albums of theirs! The loss of LEEZ from the production team is a shame but I think Ollounder and everyone else involved absolutely CRUSHED this mini album, from lyrics to music arrangement! And Dreamcatcher themselves do a superb job as always vocally! SuA has to be my stand out favorite this comeback. From her WAH high note in BONVOYAGE to just solid vocals in Demian and Propose. She was just fantastic!
What do you think of this album? How do you rate it with the rest of the trilogy?
A massive thank you to @Chaereve for their color coded lyrics videos! We appreciate your hard work in making these!

This album feels like the history of Dreamcatcher, a best of album with all new songs.
Intro: From Us blends the piano intro from "Dreamcatcher - Mayday" with a sick guitar solo, played with the notes from "Minx - Shut Up". I think the intention is to clue you in that the album starts from when Minx was failing and needed to be rescued.
I love BONVOYAGE. Lyrically it's the story of Dreamcatcher's own personal apocalypse, told from 3 different perspectives:
1) Pre-debut Dreamcatcher (also known as Minx), who are at their lowest point in their careers and who have to make a choice. Give up their dream or re-debut as Dreamcatcher with a completely different image and sound. (verses)
2) Post-debut Dreamcatcher, who are treating every day as their last, going full speed ahead with their new image and sound, while leaving their Minx era image behind. (chorus)
3) Current day Dreamcatcher, a blend of both Minx and Dreamcatcher, who are looking back with pride and love at both versions of themselves. (intro, pre-chorus, bridge and final chorus) ❤
Bonus Minx connection: You can also see the Minx-Dreamcatcher connection in their stage outfits. They are either traditional Dreamcatcher style and colorful, or Minx style and darker. The dance also does a good job in mixing Dreamcatcher dance moves and Minx like moves.
DEMIAN is current day Dreamcatcher reflecting on the Nightmare and Dystopia era, when the Minx image was being suppressed, and how these eras were their Demian. Notice how the first verse is much longer than the second verse, since the Nightmare era has more songs than the Dystopia series.
Demian is a popular book in South Korea about how we wear different masks in different situations, you behave differently around your parents than you do with your friends. It's no secret that on-stage and off-stage Dreamcatcher were very different images.
Bonus Minx connection: The first few seconds of this song is VERY similar to a slowed down, pitched down version of the first few seconds of "Minx - Why did you come to my home?"
PROPOSE is a creepy love story, quite similar to BEcause, almost as if the Minx image took the driver seat for a moment. It feels like the moment when Dreamcatcher and Minx proposed to merge their images together.
Bonus Minx connection: The first few seconds of this song is similar to a slowed down, pitched down version of the first few seconds of "Minx - Love Shake"
To. You is basically Dreamcatcher's love song to Minx and how they are now embracing and love that side of themselves.
Bonus Minx connection: The synth lines and the guitar solo are mimicking vocal elements from "Minx - Like you". Lyrically these songs mirror each other, since the Minx song is about being hurt, forgetting and moving on, while the Dreamcatcher song is about healing, remembering and holding on.
I wonder if there is a "Minx - Superstar Superman" reference in the instrumental for BONVOYAGE? I'm not able to hear it, but it would complete the pattern.
Ollounder and co are musical geniuses. ❤
Dreamcatcher A+ sides (DEMIAN , Propose) ,
sent me to the underworld ,
they truly are the most magical and Powerful beings ,
they truly are the Legendary Dreamcatcher
The best album..😢😢
Funny you mentioned the Darkness in the guitar part in "to. you"... I was thinking Brian May of Queen..showin my age a bit too haha lol btw that whole song generally felt like a Beatles/ELO vibe
🤟😄🤟...💯😍🤩🥰Dreamcatcher...🍀😇☘️✌️😉✌️...🌛🤗🌜
Great reaction, I love this album, Bon Voyage may be more main stream, Demian and Propose are fantastic. It feels like power and sweetness. You're right that Leez leaving made this era something different, better maybe ? All members shine. If I remember one line for the rest of my life is JiU singing : My heart belongs to you my dear ...
Nice reaction. As we know well, this album is another masteriece by Dreamcatcher ! Dreamcatcher's live performance (with showcase) is untouchable ! 👍 You must check it. Thanks.
This album belongs to Dami, Sua and Siyeon :') they slayed everything in every way possible
The power of our main line 🩷
While it is maybe not the main meaning, I think the "you" in this whole album can be interpreted as the earth. In "Bon voyage" they already said it was a song about giving nature some space/time to 'regrow'. And all 3 songs can be a different kind of "love" expressed to the earth. They also said that there are already so many songs about love, and that they wanted to have deeper meaning in their lyrics. This also gives me reason to believe there is something more to the lyrics of those 3 b-sides. But it is as always up to interpretation. Great reaction!
EDIT:
For my favorite song on the album I honestly love all but Propose also stands out for me. The Dami rap and the "love's a curse" at the end of each chorus are just so good!
