If Growl is South Korea's National Anthem, The First Snow is SK 's Christmas theme song, For LIfe on the other hand is the National Wedding song of South Korea. EXO discog is indeed timeless.
So true😭
i think FOR LIFE is not only wedding song for s korea ...so many exols all around the world they plays , wants to play this song for their dream day ...i saw so many ...
YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HALF OF EXO DISCOGRAPHY they have over 460 somgs group sub unit and solos 😂 THEY HAVE SEVERAL WINTER AND SPECIAL ALBUMS 100% top tier. There’s a Shaved Head D.O. english version of For Life with Chanyeol on the Piano from Elyxion concert. Gorgeous song. Please “Christmas with Exo” by Ninimad!!!!! Please it’s fucking hilariousssss
Hahahahaha... they think, they are already as hardcore EXO-L. Sorry to disappointed you guys 😜
Some M/V’s that y’all haven’t reacted to:
Lucky one MV
Sing for you MV
Universe MV
Coming over MV
Lightsaber MV
History MV
What is love MV
(Also a couple of CBX and SC songs)
Yall have barely scratched the surface of EXO's discography even after all this time 😂😂 Yes they all sing in the Korean version but the English version is just D.O. singing and Chanyeol playing the piano & doing backup vocals as always. As you would know by now EXO are the kings of winter/xmas albums, also For Life is such a beautiful song and very meaningful that it legitimately became an EXO wedding song and yes they do sing it at weddings and EXO-L do play it at their own as well, we are one they said 😂 Thank you for finally checking out this song.
you may have heard it in D.O.'s guide
D.O. sung an English Verison of this song during EXO's concerts. You may have heard that one before? If not, its a definite MUST react, chanyeol plays the piano while he sings :)
The BEAUTY of EXO ...ahhhhh GORGEOUS at every aspects ❤
i'm so happy and so in love to see all the stuff abt exo in the background
i love this exo-mas series! thank you for making this series 🤍🤍
I think "For Life" is one of EXO's more confusing MVs, as far as the storyline, however, I also think it might be one of the most important. So, to possibly help you understand the story, here is my interpretation of what is happening in the MV.
One theory is that the girl is helping EXO escape the Red Force's control. In the first scene you see Kai as he exits a building and gets into his car to leave. It is thought that the building might be the bar where we see the members in their "Sing For You" MV. As he walks out of the building, they focus on the “You Were Here” neon sign. So the sign is supposed to be foreshadowing how EXO was once there, but they have now left. As we see at the end of the MV, Kai also chooses to leave. (Notice when the sign is lit up it's blue, not red.)
To understand the role of the girl and the bracelet in the story you really have to pay attention to every detail of the MV. When the girl hands Kai the bracelet it's almost as if he is confused like he is not sure who the girl is, but he feels like he should know her. He looks at the bracelet as if he is trying to remember something. We then see him close his eyes as if he is searching his memories.
If you notice, the jewel on the bracelet is made of amber, and as one of the main themes within EXO's story, it is speculated that the girl in EXO's songs and MVs is supposed to be a manifestation of the heart of the Tree of Life, so the fact that the bracelet is adorned with amber -- which is a mineral that comes from the sap of a tree -- it is thought to be a nod to the fact that she represents the Tree of Life, or she is at least leaving them with a clue to help them in their search for the Tree of Life, etc. It is also thought that the bracelet can absorb and reflect the moon's light, and the moon is what gives EXO their powers. So even in the dark, as long as they have the bracelet, they will still be able to access the power of the moon.
Next, the MV transitions to Suho, who wakes up in a forest. Some say the forest in "For Life" is the same forest we see Suho in in his "Call Me Baby" Pathcode teaser where he is searching for something and can't seem to find it.
When Suho wakes up we see him holding the same bracelet that was given to Kai, right as he catches sight of the girl running away. He chases after her, but he is unable to catch her. At the end of his search we see he ends up in a white room as he stares at his reflection in the mirror.
However, you have to pay really close attention, because as the scene starts to transition from the forest to the room with the mirrors -- if you look closely at the background in the scene where we see him running in the forest -- it no longer looks like he is in the forest, but instead the forest is an image being projected on a white video screen behind him. Some say the "movie screen" is the same screen we see Chen standing in front of in their "Lucky One" MV, which may indicate that EXO are still trapped by the Red Force and everything that is happening in "For Life" is a dream.
Then we see Suho walking down a hallway, which ends up leading into the room with the mirrors. It is thought that if EXO are still stuck in the maze like we see in "Overdose" and "Lucky One," then Suho is just entering another chamber or room in the Red Force's trap. Once Suho enters the room with the mirrors, we see him looking at his reflection and the bracelet almost as if he is trying to remembers something as well.
Some say because they have been trapped in the maze for so long, they are starting to forget what they are doing there and what their mission on Earth is supposed to be, so the spirit of the Tree of Life -- which manifests as the girl in the MV -- is coming to each of the members to help remind them that they need to come to their senses and fight back and try to escape.
And then you see Chanyeol now has the bracelet, and he is staring at it as if he is also trying to remember something. He then catches a glimpse of the girl and he follows her, where he seems to end up in another room in the maze. Here he is the first one to catch up to the girl and actually interact with her. As we see him standing in front of the girl, it seems as though he now realizes who she is and that she needs to pass on the message to Kai. So Chanyeol puts the bracelet on her wrist in an unspoken request for her to deliver this message to Kai.
All along it has been thought that maybe some, or all, of the members are stuck in different dimensions or time periods -- which we have seen references to in some of their other MVs, such as "Tempo" and "Love Shot," etc. -- so it is thought that the reason why the girl needs to be the one to deliver the message is because Chanyeol is stuck in a different time period or location than Kai.
Also something to note, the rooms that Suho and Chanyeol are trapped in look very similar to the rooms they are trapped in in the beginning of "Overdose," however, in "Overdose" the maze looks dark because all the members are still in a memory fog caused by the Red Force. But in "For Life" the rooms are white because EXO are starting to break free and come out of that fog like we see them doing in their "Lucky One" MV, which also takes place in a white room.
After delivering her message to Suho and Chanyeol the girl -- or spirit of the Tree of Life -- wakes up now in Kai's time period or relm, and sees the bracelet on her wrist, which reminds her that she needs to hurry and find Kai and deliver the message.
However, we discover that the girl is also trapped in her own maze or time loop, so she tries to retrace her steps from her dream to try and find Kai. She first goes to the room with the lights, but instead of the lights turning on like they did when Chanyeol completed his part of the mission, the lights turned off when she entered the room as if to say this is not the right time or location. So she moves on to the next place. You see her now frantically running through the room with the video screen searching for a way out of the maze.
Eventually you see the girl end up back in the same location where the MV started, where the dream world now becomes reality, with her handing the bracelet to Kai as he prepares to leave. You see her complete her mission as Kai escapes the Red Forces' grasp and heads off to try and find the other members. And the "You Were Here" sign turns off as if to say that this time and place has now ceased to exist like waking up from a dream, as Kai has now broken free from the Red Forces' control.
As you may remember, Kai means opening as in a door or gateway, so his stage name is meant to symbolize that he is the one who connects all the members together and it's his job, with the power of teleportation, to travel all over the world, and between time periods and dimensions, to find and bring the members back together, so they can complete their quest to reunite the two halves of the Tree of Life in order to restore peace.
This is also one of the reasons why, as part of EXO's storyline, we think Kai and Baekhyun decided to form SuperM. If Baekhyun, and now Kai, have been able to avoid or break free from the Red Forces' control, they now need to recruit the other members of SM's groups -- Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is a former member of WayV -- to help them rescue the other EXO members from the Red Forces' control. That's why in SuperM's "One (Monster & Infinity)" MV we see Taeyong and Kai looking at a picture of what looks like a map on their phone. (Which is thought could be a digital copy of the map we see on the wall in Baekhyun's solo "UN Village" MV and in EXO-CBX's "Horololo" MV.) Some theories think that it's a map of the maze that the Red Force has the EXO members trapped in. Therefore, SuperM is using the map to try and locate the other EXO members. That also could be why we see Taemin receive a message about aespa at the end of "One (Monster & Infinity)" as a clue that they need to find aespa in order to accomplish their tasks. aespa is now thought to be the guardians of the Tree of Life who were tasked with hiding the two halves of the tree. We see aespa and their avatars with what is thought to be the Tree of Life in aespa's "Savage" MV.
Another thing to pay attention to is the use of red and blue light. When you see the red light this is where the Red Force is thought to have control and when you see blue, this is thought to be where EXO has started to break free and they are in control. When you see purple -- red and blue mixed together make purple -- or both red and blue together in the same scene, this is often where the lines are blurred and the Red Force and EXO are fighting for control or battling each other for power.
There is actually a lot more connections you can make from the "For Life" MV storyline to EXO's other MVs, but that would take more time and space than one comment would allow, so I will leave you to continue discovering more connections on your own. :D
In the "For Life" MV you only see Kai, Suho and Chanyeol, but all 9 members are singing in the song. I'm not really sure why SM only chose to include 3 of the members in the MV, but it may be connected to the reason why we now see only Kai, Suho and Chanyeol with pieces of the meteor (rocks) in EXO's new "Let Me In" MV.
If you look up the lyrics to the song you will see it's actually not a breakup song, but a vow to continue to be there for the person you love for life. Hence why it is often considered one of the best songs to be sung at a wedding. Next, if you haven't already, you should check out D.O.'s live English version of the song in concert. There is also a Mandarin version with a similar MV. However, the Mandarin lyrics are slightly different than the Korean and English lyrics, so you should look up all the versions to see and hear the differences. :D
