That´s exactly what I thought also! Great interpretation and I also would love it if Joonie could recognize your interpretation. I really think it would be so interesting and comforting for him.
For my neurodivergent brain this album feels like a massage, like the best massage EVER. It helps me connection myself to my feelings and bulldozers through that mess my thoughts usually are. Masterpiece. And the conclusion is „time will sort it out, I’ll come back to myself, and it’s ok to be a mess“
The whole album is SO GOOD! The amount of times I got the goosebumps while listening to it.. The lyrics and the production go insane 🔥 It blew my expectations and they were already so high. I'm so proud of Namjoon RPWP ate so bad. Literally the album of the year. It's incredible. Namjoon said that he lived a dynamic live and that when he became friend with an artist, that person mentioned how contradicting his personality is, that's how the beginning of this whole project started. Jimin mentioned that in Indigo he felt that Namjoon still had something else buried and that everything came out in this album. And he's so right! I totally feel that in RPWP the explosion of freedom, conflicted emotions and inner thoughts are more noticeable. Namjoon portrayed that contradictory self really well. It felt like a story line but at the same time full of ups and downs and unexpected changes.
In general, I've never liked this musical chaos of jazz... but here it has everything to do! I mean, the sensorial chaos reflects his internal chaos. And this is like painting with musical instruments! He's confirming again and again he's a genius 😊
in out of love 20:49 I think it could be more a social commentary to the military "you can f my body (obligatory service) but you can't f my mind" (i will always be an artist not a soldier)... maybe hahaha I love that people can interpret his songs in so many different ways, like you do when you look at a painting at a museum
In his talk with Jimin RM said he went through a really difficult 14 months. This album comes from that. There was many things I picked from this. Hes very angry about the way the government tried to use him, turning him into a diplomat they could use. RM is from the underground, his music often social commentary. He's a rebel and it was killing him. He's said I will distance myself from BTS for a bit so my rebellion doesn't affect them. Then I will take the brakes off completely and see what happens. Who am I when I am not trying to be everything to everyone. I am sure the intention is you show that they cannot use him. He's a grenade with the pin out. Also from stuff he said in an answer in a live talking to fans about him making this music which he considers" better than Indigo". The fan said you look hearbroken. He answered that maybe he could be heartbroken a little bit... he'd been dealing with these shits for the last 10 years. That suggests he knew about this Min Hee Jin smear campaign that was about to hit the papers. So if there was the failure of a personal relationship in that mix no wonder he suffered. As a result we get the best thing to hit the music industry in decades. This album is going to be called seminal in the future. Ordered it for my carefully curated collection. I called INDIGO a future cult classic. He's done it again. The only bit that really worried me was where he said his friendship with San Yawn had his mother really worried??? His collab with BALMING TIGER the brilliant SEXY NUKIM introduced them. Part of RM is very innocent according to Jimin. Hmmm. For me its the only line in the album jarred. When you asvrich and successful as RM there are always those seeking to use you.
i think your interpretations of the songs, lyrics and overall album story fit so well like you feel locked in on his wavelength the way you pieced everything together and explained the development of the album theme was so insightful and made me appreciate the album that much more:D truly i cannot believe he some how finds a way to exceed my already high expectations every single time. i love how he's never stagnant
I feel really ... connected to this album currently. It's a phenomenal album, thank you so much for hanging out with me and listening!! truly, never stagnant.
Some of the actors who played the different versions of Namjoon in the LOST! MV mentioned the personas they played. So basically there's Overconfident, Fearful, Innocent/Childlike and Jaded. It's really cool. I enjoyed the way you interpreted the album. It made the narrative of the tracklist even clearer in my head, so thanks! (Also I love your hair! 😊)
I absolutely love how you broke down the lyrics! You had me thinking of interpretations that I had not even realized were likely! I love how you saw connections and linked them all together. My mind was still in disjointed puzzle pieces. 😅
I really appreciate your interpretations because nowadays no matter what the song is people have a habit of over sexualizing things as if sex is the only thing that's important. The interpretations are much more than that. Thank you for the reaction
70 year old from Australia….Thank you for detailed explanation, you have put my mind to rest, I was worried I could see the downward spiral due to pressure which has been there for a while, but so glad you explained he has decided to exist for only himself, very positive. Again a big thank you.
I love watching your reactions, and have been doing so for quite sometime but have just worked out how to subscribe (must be my old brain). Namjoon and Jimin’s chat is great, Jimin is always a gentle support for all the guys. I noticed when Hobi was getting ready for the Lalapalooza concert he had lost a lot of weight then they allowed Jimin to visit. Looking forward to listening to you again, hope you get reunited with your missing dog 🐶 💜
The line about “your words and face don’t kill me” in Heaven gave me a strong sense of “joke’s on you, you no longer have a hold on me/my emotions”. This person/people had gotten used to toying with him and eliciting an involuntary response, maybe by playing into his insecurities and/or by showing up/reaching out unexpectedly but he’s now at a place where he’s not going to let them get under his skin anymore. It’s not easy to get past the point where merely catching a glimpse of someone who hurt you (personally or professionally) immediately changes your mood, much less actively interacting with them. I’m happy he managed it. Such a person purposely crossing your path for whatever reason(s) gets old FAST.
This reminds me so much from his very first mixtape “RM” if you have time, it would be great for you to see his very first mixtape as well it is a lot more aggressive and angry than this because it is an album where after he got into bts, people looked down at him to become an kpop idol when he was an underground rapper same with bts suga and even his coworkers he rap with would look down at him so he was very angry and aggressive it is just so nice to see how he grow
You're really on point on your observations, especially the part where you said the whole theme of the album revolves around RM thinking, "If I don't make the album right now, I would die". He actually mentioned something similar during his listening session with Jimin.
I have listened to many interpretations of Namjoon’s RPWP on TH-cam since the album dropped 1 weeks ago and I like yours best 💜. Your insights make a lot of sense especially when you said that the music being so disjointed throughout the album is also a symbol of him being lost, I never thought of it like that… I simply love that all of us are connecting through his music and trying to interpret it. I have been an admirer of Namjoon for a few years now and through him I also got to know BTS but his solo work is what speaks to my heart and soul the most. Like him I like art and books and I am a deep thinker (which is not always a good thing) but I am in no way as smart as him lol. I am very sad to know that he has struggled so much, especially last year, but at the same time I am so happy that he was able to spill his guts in this album so to speak and I hope he is feeling much better now. Yes, he will lose some “fans” because of it but he will gain others who appreciate him for who he is. I hope that in the future he will never have to compromise who he is again and that we will be able to listen to his work for many many many years to come.
I like your interpretation of the songs and your interpretation of lost is accurate. I think this album is too special for him cause he was able to be honest with himself and with his audience. And what makes me happy is that I think he achieved the peace he was looking for. I love this album from head to toe, from the production, the lyrics, everything. In my opinion a work of art and you are right I also loved Hit Me Hard and Soft
Excellent interpretation. Thanks! You’re right, I think some songs are ok to listen any time, but others need to be part of the full album. Groin es my favorite and I listen to it all the time. Love Nuts and Lost!, too.
I’m really enjoying your reaction and interpretation, I’ve gotten much more from the songs after hearing your explanations. Thank you! I’ve been lost on some of the songs, but now I see a lot of the connections. It’s another RM masterpiece.
As one who has been through the most devastating breakup and breakdown ever, every song on this album speaks to me of heartbreak, a feeling of being thrown in the trash by the one person you truly loved, and after the tears have finally subsided through the years of processing why that specific person hurt you, you begin to heal, but the memories keep resurfacing, and you finally realize that the person who told you they'd love you forever had deliberately lied to you. Then you start questioning your whole life, every life choice... what if you had chosen a different path, loved a different person, was it the biggest mistake you ever made? You know you have to find a way through, find yourself again, find who you used to be and who you are now, find a way to forgive, although you will never forget because it was true love on your part, and that person is still in your life, still around you, and you have to stay in control of your feelings, never letting them show, because if you do, everyone will know, so you have to find a way to pretend that you're okay, that everything's okay, all while hoping beyond hope that the person will come back and say that they made a mistake, that they have realized that they truly do love you, but you know in your heart that's never going to happen, and eventually you come to the understanding that it's not really in your hands... only time can work it out. I feel in my heart that this is a love story, HIS love story... his GREATEST love story yet, in this life, although there may be a greater one eventually, and I truly hope that for him. But, then again, I'm probably just reading my own devastating love story into this because these songs speak so very synchronistically to my own broken dreams of the future. 🤷♀️ Well, THAT was deep, wasn't it? At the very least, it was TMI. Sorry for writing a book! 😂😉😘
I bought this album before I heard any of the songs. I heard the songs and was so unsure. Then I really listened and every single song grew on me SO damn much and I LOVE this album.
I loved and enjoyed your reaction. RM outdid himself on this album and gave us a great album. I loved this album and enjoyed sharing this with you and given us the meanings and your interpretations. Stay safe and see you later.💕😍
Love your voice so much, waiting on that album🤌🏻 Your interpretation of how "Right Place Wrong Person" culminates in "Around the World in a Day" reminds me of something Namjoon said YEARS ago on a vlog. He said he thinks maybe the meaning of life is to be lost. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw that he was going to have a song titled "Lost!". I don't know if he remembers saying that but it seems he's lived through a lot of shit since then and came out the other side with the same conclusion. Love him so much 😭 I hope you are feeling better now! I miss hanging out on stream, life is kicking my ass. Loved seeing your review of RPWP, I'm literally living in this album right now. love u❤️🩵
"the meaning of life is to be lost" is now my life motto. I love that so much and I think I needed that a lot right now. I love you so much!! I'm sending love your way and please please message me on instagram!! I wanna check on you more regularly!
This was such a great reaction/review! I haven't seen anyone directly try to break down the lyrics through the album before, and I haven't even bothered trying to do so even with like a thousand listens of the album in my car, but I really appreciate you taking the time to try and dissect the narrative here. I know RM's been around (I mean he's already 30 this year) and he's probably making this album with a lot more personal significance than any of us can ever know, but narrative / concept albums like these which follow a certain progression of thoughts in someone's head is just so cool. "Fuck it, I can make it work. I know they're the one, we were just in the wrong place, I can make it right and I can get them back." >>> "Fine. I can't make it work. It wasn't going to work anyways. It's been too hard. In fact, this part of my life has been so hard. I've gotta throw everything that's made it so hard for me away: the naysayers, the haters, the freeloaders, the people who doubt me, and the people who've left me. Fuck them all, I'll do what I want, they can't control me, even if I'm RM, even if I'm an idol, a celebrity, an artist, the leader of BTS - I've got a lot of sides to me, and I wanna show them all as I please, even those times when I'm lost and frustrated and out of love". >>> "I guess I don't have to pay too much of my mind to these things. Things happen, things don't go my way, I may want certain things still but I won't lose my mind if I can't get them: I can simply be me and 'do me' for myself - I'm such at peace that I don't even have to care much about showering nor tell what time it is. I'm fine with how it now is" Also, hope ice_shard2364 in chat found where they could buy a copy of the album lol.
ahh thank you so much for making me understand the album better !! i was having a hard time with some lyrics but you made it make so much sense. so thank you for sharing
My opinion......From beginning to end he's talking to the fandom and what he has had to endure to date. After the Military we are going to see a vast difference from them and not tolerating the bullshit they receive...hope that works and a cull ensues just leaving true fans behind 😊
After my prayers...priority! RPWP! hands down. RM is a genius. I have seen over 100 persons react to RM RPWP and everyone had their own interpretation for every single song. All the songs are my best song.
NOT A CHIHULY DROP I LOVE YOU FOR THAT! I enjoyed every moment of this. I appreciate all of your interpretations of the songs. Thank you so much for doing this!
LOVED your thoughts on the album and the overarching story. This is the first time the “walk like a duck” line made sense to me, I thought he was just being random for humour, but it makes a lot of sense now
I wonder about that, about whether they already have an album ready to go when they get out. I feel like these are guys who will want to write about what's going on with them then at that point... Regardless, i can't wait 🙏💜
You're a shining example of why I watch reactors. When I listened to the album the first time, I was like... okaaay, I don't get it... meh... (always knowing RM always gets better the more you listen....) now, with your interpretation? Top tier album. Thank you and instant follow!
WOWZA!!!! Okay - so on the mv, at 1:45, (Your video time-stamp: 59.49 ) looking at the elevator floor-buttons, there is an arrow pointing at "44" with a handwritten note saying Right Person, Wrong Place.. Then at 1:46, it shows a reflection in RM's pupil of 101 and next to it, "Nowhere." If you look closely to his eyeball, it' shows a reaction in "IL u" and a moon and the earth. It's very subliminal. Also, the other numbers on the the buttons seem to indicate something. One of then is: " 12521222." And just who goes from 14 to 30!?! Also, could the pattern of the elevator buttons be in Braille, like the crossword on Jin's Astronaut? Anyone have an thoughts? Also, 73 has a smiling face, and right below is number 11, which looks like the moon. Interesting! And at 1:52 it shows a single floating man reflection. Then they all look at the camera above them in the elevator. Lots of messages in the elevator. And now, for me, "Dump it on the ground, throw it in the trunk." makes sense to me. Forget it, lesson learned- let's move one. Cool - RM is so brilliant and loves it when we look beyond and find his true self. I know this is confusing. Just slow down the video speed and watch yourself.
Hi Alex! I loved your interpretation of the album, another masterpiece from Joon 🥰 I started following you because of your reactions to Taylor's albums, I love that you always point out details of the videos/songs that I had not noticed and I was very happy when you started listening to BTS because their art needs to be appreciated by people as passionate about music as you 💜
I wanted to watch your analysis since it came out, but I needed to let this album simmer in my brain for a while :) Loved this! I have a few random thoughts. Could RM have personified music/music industry/haters being his significant other? The first time I heard the phrase, "pain divine," in "Come Back to Me," I linked it to his poetry/music/artistry. I can't imagine sharing a piece of yourself to the world is pain free. Thank you again 💜
Lots of fun listening with you! I’m glad I found you💜 Ive listened to this so much over the last week 💜 loving it for everything it is - confessional, a vibe, a jam, experimental etc! Gove your doggie a kiss from me 💜
I love how you interpret and broke down each songs 💜 Thank You for making me understand the songs better especially BTS songs. Please do a reaction video on "MMM" Mini Moni Music Exchange ft our Jimin 🐣 . Hope you feel better 💜
I think he is not saying he is not loveable for himself that line directed to haters lately he is getting forced hate almost every kpop community I feel so sorry for him getting hate everywhere day😔
This album was an introduction to RM for me. I did not hold BTS in high regard, mostly because I've only heard butter and dynamite before, which in my opinion aren't that great. However, my interest was caught when I saw Little Simz on the track list. I'm glad I let my curiosity win because this album is great. It's cool that these guys do have the ambition to go beyond generic radio hits and succeed at it.
I would suggest you give BTS’ non-English tracks a chance. They have done and/or blended a variety of genres and themes in their discography and the production is very high quality. The lyrics are usually layered in meaning and deeper (often darker) than the music suggests, because they draw inspiration from literature, art, psychology, science, social issues, etc as well as their own experiences. Each of the seven group members has a distinct musical taste/sensibility so their combined musical influences are very wide. Even then, they manage to surprise us with different sides of themselves. RM, Agust D (Suga within BTS) and J-Hope are the group’s rappers and heavily lean hip hop as soloists. Of the four vocalists, Jimin and Jungkook lean pop/retro pop, V leans toward sultry soul/jazz and we are waiting to see what Jin will come up with when he returns from enlistment in a few days. His pre-enlistment single was pop/rock and he has developed a deep bond with Chris Martin & Coldplay.
"If you feel you're going to crash accelerate harder" is one of Yoongi's lines in Nevermind! Clearly joon liked it enough to use it in Groin which is really cool. It's one of my favorite lines that Yoongi has written.
Please help me with this!! I love the album, the music, his creation, RM in general, i just love him… BUT I need help! I liked the idea that they were just loving creatures and the fact that he writes about so much pain and not loving what he was doing makes me think there is no Santa… i am sad he was so unconfortable and with so much pain with the life that was making me so happy! So, is it all fake? 😰Any comments, 😢?
Hi Alex🙋🏼Amber here! I always look forward to your videos, especially your Tay's reactions; you just nail the full narrative every time! I'm so sad to hear about your lost pup, what a living nightmare, I'm so sorry... my good eternally optimistic thoughts are with you, Phil, and Sky/e?🐾 We have five rescues, 3 cats & 2 pups that I would be devastated to lose... I even cry sometimes just thinking about them getting older & crossing the rainbow bridge🌈 it feels soul crushing! Know that you've done everything you can, so give yourself some grace & don't beat yourself up!! I also strongly relate to the doubles pickle ball tournament of thoughts always bouncing around in your head... same, girl, same!! 😢 I just turned 48 and wasn't diagnosed with any mental health issues until I was 43... SEVERE C-PTSD, ADHD, and anxiety and depression... followed by Bipolar 1 two years ago, and possibly BPD (it's listed but not sure it's correct 🤔). Anyway, I just wanted you to know that you are not alone, and if you ever need a random ear, I'm a great vent... seriously, I'm here anytime!! Peace☆Hugs☆Love xo 🤗 ~a ✨️🫶🏻🎶💗💃🏼✌🏻
Thank you so much for this comment 🩵🩵🩵 you made me smile reading it. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats (all rescues as well) - 3 dogs counting Skye. Hahahahs the doubles pickle ball tournament of thoughts - I’m using that from now on 😉 thank you so much, ily and so thankful for you
Great interpretation of the songs. I think you got it exactly right. Namjoon would love that someone gets him. Right person, wrong place.
Thank you so much :') and thank you for listening to the album with me!
I think she got it exactly right too. It really helped me understand the full meaning of the album and how each song is connected. Amazing!
@@minjimunji aw thank you!!!
That´s exactly what I thought also! Great interpretation and I also would love it if Joonie could recognize your interpretation. I really think it would be so interesting and comforting for him.

Me too i don't like jazz either but with this album I'm on my knees
in out of love 20:49 I think it could be more a social commentary to the military "you can f my body (obligatory service) but you can't f my mind" (i will always be an artist not a soldier)... maybe hahaha I love that people can interpret his songs in so many different ways, like you do when you look at a painting at a museum
Oh interesting I hadn’t thought about that angle!!
Interesting!!!

You are sooo right. Seminal is the word! 💜
i think your interpretations of the songs, lyrics and overall album story fit so well like you feel locked in on his wavelength
the way you pieced everything together and explained the development of the album theme was so insightful and made me appreciate the album that much more:D
truly i cannot believe he some how finds a way to exceed my already high expectations every single time. i love how he's never stagnant

Yes true ARMYs will stay with him..
San Yawn's adopted Joonie into Balming Tiger and its Psychedelic Fervor.
This was the different type of music I didn’t know I needed. I love it. And love your reactions! 💜
Thank you!!! 🥹

I feel in my heart that this is a love story, HIS love story... his GREATEST love story yet, in this life, although there may be a greater one eventually, and I truly hope that for him. But, then again, I'm probably just reading my own devastating love story into this because these songs speak so very synchronistically to my own broken dreams of the future. 🤷♀️ Well, THAT was deep, wasn't it? At the very least, it was TMI. Sorry for writing a book! 😂😉😘
Feeling high on a forest fire: your theory sounds great because I've heard him say that he has always so many thoughts
His mind has to run a thousand miles a minute. I honestly have no idea how he can do all he does and keep it all to such a high level.
I bought this album before I heard any of the songs. I heard the songs and was so unsure. Then I really listened and every single song grew on me SO damn much and I LOVE this album.
I loved and enjoyed your reaction. RM outdid himself on this album and gave us a great album. I loved this album and enjoyed sharing this with you and given us the meanings and your interpretations. Stay safe and see you later.💕😍
Love your voice so much, waiting on that album🤌🏻
Your interpretation of how "Right Place Wrong Person" culminates in "Around the World in a Day" reminds me of something Namjoon said YEARS ago on a vlog. He said he thinks maybe the meaning of life is to be lost. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw that he was going to have a song titled "Lost!". I don't know if he remembers saying that but it seems he's lived through a lot of shit since then and came out the other side with the same conclusion. Love him so much 😭
I hope you are feeling better now! I miss hanging out on stream, life is kicking my ass. Loved seeing your review of RPWP, I'm literally living in this album right now. love u❤️🩵
"the meaning of life is to be lost" is now my life motto. I love that so much and I think I needed that a lot right now. I love you so much!! I'm sending love your way and please please message me on instagram!! I wanna check on you more regularly!
@@alexray_music okay I will. 💜❤️
I just realized what Interlude reminds me of: Me’shelle Ndegeocello. That slinky jazz funk with a low voice that’s bordering on spoken word.
Such a great video. I enjoyed listening to someone who clearly loves music going through this album
Omg hearing your analysis was brilliant, you helped me catch things i hadnt before
This was such a great reaction/review! I haven't seen anyone directly try to break down the lyrics through the album before, and I haven't even bothered trying to do so even with like a thousand listens of the album in my car, but I really appreciate you taking the time to try and dissect the narrative here.
I know RM's been around (I mean he's already 30 this year) and he's probably making this album with a lot more personal significance than any of us can ever know, but narrative / concept albums like these which follow a certain progression of thoughts in someone's head is just so cool.
"Fuck it, I can make it work. I know they're the one, we were just in the wrong place, I can make it right and I can get them back."
>>> "Fine. I can't make it work. It wasn't going to work anyways. It's been too hard. In fact, this part of my life has been so hard. I've gotta throw everything that's made it so hard for me away: the naysayers, the haters, the freeloaders, the people who doubt me, and the people who've left me. Fuck them all, I'll do what I want, they can't control me, even if I'm RM, even if I'm an idol, a celebrity, an artist, the leader of BTS - I've got a lot of sides to me, and I wanna show them all as I please, even those times when I'm lost and frustrated and out of love".
>>> "I guess I don't have to pay too much of my mind to these things. Things happen, things don't go my way, I may want certain things still but I won't lose my mind if I can't get them: I can simply be me and 'do me' for myself - I'm such at peace that I don't even have to care much about showering nor tell what time it is. I'm fine with how it now is"
Also, hope ice_shard2364 in chat found where they could buy a copy of the album lol.
This! 💜🫰
ahh thank you so much for making me understand the album better !! i was having a hard time with some lyrics but you made it make so much sense. so thank you for sharing
Listening to this with you was incredible. I love your interpretation💜
Thank you!
We started with Come Back to Me and ended with Come Back to Me. It was a full circle moment for the album
My opinion......From beginning to end he's talking to the fandom and what he has had to endure to date. After the Military we are going to see a vast difference from them and not tolerating the bullshit they receive...hope that works and a cull ensues just leaving true fans behind 😊
Oh girl love the new song!!!! ❤you and Skye!!!!
Thank you so much! It just came out today, love my Skye girl
After my prayers...priority! RPWP! hands down. RM is a genius. I have seen over 100 persons react to RM RPWP and everyone had their own interpretation for every single song. All the songs are my best song.
NOT A CHIHULY DROP I LOVE YOU FOR THAT!
I enjoyed every moment of this. I appreciate all of your interpretations of the songs. Thank you so much for doing this!
I LOVE GLASS and thank you so much for hanging out with me!!
This was probably the best album reaction and dissection. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!!!!!!
Aw thank you!!
LOVED your thoughts on the album and the overarching story. This is the first time the “walk like a duck” line made sense to me, I thought he was just being random for humour, but it makes a lot of sense now
i just found my favorite interpretations of this album omg!! and you're sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gorgeous😭💜
Omg thank you so much 🥹🥹🩵
I wonder about that, about whether they already have an album ready to go when they get out. I feel like these are guys who will want to write about what's going on with them then at that point... Regardless, i can't wait 🙏💜
Thanks for the great interpretation, and you have cool hair color! Just adore it! ❤
Thank you!
You're a shining example of why I watch reactors. When I listened to the album the first time, I was like... okaaay, I don't get it... meh... (always knowing RM always gets better the more you listen....) now, with your interpretation? Top tier album. Thank you and instant follow!
Aw thank you so much!!!
WOWZA!!!! Okay - so on the mv, at 1:45, (Your video time-stamp: 59.49 ) looking at the elevator floor-buttons, there is an arrow pointing at "44" with a handwritten note saying Right Person, Wrong Place.. Then at 1:46, it shows a reflection in RM's pupil of 101 and next to it, "Nowhere." If you look closely to his eyeball, it' shows a reaction in "IL u" and a moon and the earth. It's very subliminal. Also, the other numbers on the the buttons seem to indicate something. One of then is: " 12521222." And just who goes from 14 to 30!?! Also, could the pattern of the elevator buttons be in Braille, like the crossword on Jin's Astronaut? Anyone have an thoughts? Also, 73 has a smiling face, and right below is number 11, which looks like the moon. Interesting! And at 1:52 it shows a single floating man reflection. Then they all look at the camera above them in the elevator. Lots of messages in the elevator. And now, for me, "Dump it on the ground, throw it in the trunk." makes sense to me. Forget it, lesson learned- let's move one. Cool - RM is so brilliant and loves it when we look beyond and find his true self. I know this is confusing. Just slow down the video speed and watch yourself.
I love your reaction. ❤ Joon is a genius
Literally so clever
8:21 thats so cool you said it like that, its just like namjoon explained it in the bangtan ep with jimin
Hi Alex! I loved your interpretation of the album, another masterpiece from Joon 🥰
I started following you because of your reactions to Taylor's albums, I love that you always point out details of the videos/songs that I had not noticed and I was very happy when you started listening to BTS because their art needs to be appreciated by people as passionate about music as you 💜
Hi Alex🥰 i love your reaction videos and i'm sure i'll enjoy this one as well❤❤❤ i would also love to see your reaction on RM's album mono🥰
thank you for watching!!!
This just came up on my tl (prob bc of RM) and I thought I’d just have a look and leave. But this was fun!
thanks for staying and hanging out!
Same!
Hi lovely lady, I’m caught up on the last chunk of time. Lots of love from the Uk. Keep doing what your doing❤️
thank you!!!
I’ve followed you for a minute since BTS started. I’ve shed a few tears with you on TH-cam what’s gone on in RL with stuff your end. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m
Here for the ride no matter what🍺👍🥰
@@bigalex26 aw thank you so much, thank you for being here
Pretty deep even the tune only. I am getting confused and frustration vibes figuring out people. Well he sure can straighten out the complicated mind.
I love hearing your interpretations of songs! This is such an interesting and creative album and you did a great breakdown. Thanks for sharing this :)
I really wish he were here to promote it to say more about the album
Thanks for your reaction. Your eyes are beautiful 💜
love your reaction!!
thank you!
great reaction.. this album is soooo gooood..
btw i love your hair, its looks beautiful..
aw thank you!!
Loved your reaction and your interpretation of the songs 💜
i enjoyed watching this video thank you
I wanted to watch your analysis since it came out, but I needed to let this album simmer in my brain for a while :) Loved this! I have a few random thoughts. Could RM have personified music/music industry/haters being his significant other? The first time I heard the phrase, "pain divine," in "Come Back to Me," I linked it to his poetry/music/artistry. I can't imagine sharing a piece of yourself to the world is pain free. Thank you again 💜
the album is sickkkkkk like the rawness of lyrics and the beats were ❤🔥
Lots of fun listening with you! I’m glad I found you💜 Ive listened to this so much over the last week 💜 loving it for everything it is - confessional, a vibe, a jam, experimental etc! Gove your doggie a kiss from me 💜
Heaven is one of my favorite songs of rpwp
Loved your interpretations!
Thank you!
This entire album has been an audio treat for my neurodivergent brain!!!
Yes!
Jimin new album is coming
Muse is coming on 19 july and the pre release will come on 28 june ❤
I’ll be there!
I love how you interpret and broke down each songs 💜 Thank You for making me understand the songs better especially BTS songs. Please do a reaction video on "MMM" Mini Moni Music Exchange ft our Jimin 🐣 .
Hope you feel better 💜
I think he is not saying he is not loveable for himself that line directed to haters lately he is getting forced hate almost every kpop community I feel so sorry for him getting hate everywhere day😔
This album was an introduction to RM for me. I did not hold BTS in high regard, mostly because I've only heard butter and dynamite before, which in my opinion aren't that great. However, my interest was caught when I saw Little Simz on the track list. I'm glad I let my curiosity win because this album is great. It's cool that these guys do have the ambition to go beyond generic radio hits and succeed at it.
The 3 English tracks were basically songs they made to cheer people up. Their discography is actually pretty diverse.
I would suggest you give BTS’ non-English tracks a chance. They have done and/or blended a variety of genres and themes in their discography and the production is very high quality. The lyrics are usually layered in meaning and deeper (often darker) than the music suggests, because they draw inspiration from literature, art, psychology, science, social issues, etc as well as their own experiences. Each of the seven group members has a distinct musical taste/sensibility so their combined musical influences are very wide. Even then, they manage to surprise us with different sides of themselves. RM, Agust D (Suga within BTS) and J-Hope are the group’s rappers and heavily lean hip hop as soloists. Of the four vocalists, Jimin and Jungkook lean pop/retro pop, V leans toward sultry soul/jazz and we are waiting to see what Jin will come up with when he returns from enlistment in a few days. His pre-enlistment single was pop/rock and he has developed a deep bond with Chris Martin & Coldplay.
But if he's Down to Embers, and Friends still gather around him, is he Burning Himself to Keep Others Warm?
Fun fact, RM is learning how to play the sax in the military marching band...
OH I LOVE THAT
Imagine an RM and Thundercat collab, ughh that would be heaven to my ears
Your vocal is very nice.
Thank you!!
I just was thinking of asking you to react to it (bc I saw your billie review) when this video dropped lol
you have to have to have to check out his first mixtape
i hope you also react to j-hope’s “Hope on the street” album! it was released just two months ago after Fri(end)s by V 🥺
"If you feel you're going to crash accelerate harder" is one of Yoongi's lines in Nevermind! Clearly joon liked it enough to use it in Groin which is really cool. It's one of my favorite lines that Yoongi has written.
I feel like this album is LONG OVERDUE.
Please help me with this!! I love the album, the music, his creation, RM in general, i just love him… BUT I need help! I liked the idea that they were just loving creatures and the fact that he writes about so much pain and not loving what he was doing makes me think there is no Santa… i am sad he was so unconfortable and with so much pain with the life that was making me so happy! So, is it all fake? 😰Any comments, 😢?
You may be nasally but you look FABULOUS 👌
hehehehe thank you!!!
can you do mind of mine zayn malik please

Hi Alex🙋🏼Amber here! I always look forward to your videos, especially your Tay's reactions; you just nail the full narrative every time!
I'm so sad to hear about your lost pup, what a living nightmare, I'm so sorry... my good eternally optimistic thoughts are with you, Phil, and Sky/e?🐾 We have five rescues, 3 cats & 2 pups that I would be devastated to lose... I even cry sometimes just thinking about them getting older & crossing the rainbow bridge🌈 it feels soul crushing! Know that you've done everything you can, so give yourself some grace & don't beat yourself up!!
I also strongly relate to the doubles pickle ball tournament of thoughts always bouncing around in your head... same, girl, same!! 😢
I just turned 48 and wasn't diagnosed with any mental health issues until I was 43... SEVERE C-PTSD, ADHD, and anxiety and depression... followed by Bipolar 1 two years ago, and possibly BPD (it's listed but not sure it's correct 🤔). Anyway, I just wanted you to know that you are not alone, and if you ever need a random ear, I'm a great vent... seriously, I'm here anytime!!
Peace☆Hugs☆Love xo 🤗 ~a ✨️🫶🏻🎶💗💃🏼✌🏻
Thank you so much for this comment 🩵🩵🩵 you made me smile reading it. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats (all rescues as well) - 3 dogs counting Skye.
Hahahahs the doubles pickle ball tournament of thoughts - I’m using that from now on 😉 thank you so much, ily and so thankful for you
