There's a story called, 'La Città di smeraldo' that takes place in a small town in Italy in the 1500s-1600s. This song is inspired by that. The story's about an 'ugly' man who hid in an old castle alone. because of his looks, he received lots of hate & cruelty while growing up. He never opened his heart to anyone. Whenever they tried to approach him, he hid in anger. His happiness was to plant flowers in his garden. One day a woman appeared near the man's castle. She jumped over the garden fence and stole a flower. This angered the man at first. So he watched his garden all night. But when he fell asleep, the woman took another flower. This continued for several nights. The man pretended to be asleep and watched the woman steal a flower. He started becoming curious about the woman. He began waiting for her. without realizing he kept waiting for her to come and the next day seemed a little brighter. He eventually fell in love with her Following after her one day, he realized that she was selling the flowers that she stole from him to make a living. The man desperately wanted to help the woman. But he was afraid she would be terrified by the way he looks. He knew she would not love his 'grotesque' appearance. He came to the conclusion that the only way he would be able to help her is to let her continue stealing flowers from his garden. The man decided to make a flower that doesn't exist on the planet. So that the woman could sell them at an expensive price. He began to make the flower in his castle. After many unsuccessful attempts, the man-made a flower that didn't exist and filled his garden with them. But the woman stopped coming. No matter how long he waited she never came to his garden. He eventually found out that the woman had died. The flower was a smeraldo btw and it is also shown several times in its universe If u look at the lyrics again with reference to this, everything will make much more sense. So u need to love yourself in order to love someone else
@@Nora915 the story was mentioned as if it was an old story on the fake (part of the Bangtan Universe) blog for the flower shop which was trying to bring the Smeraldo flower back on fashion and was the only one selling it. Bangtan Universe at its finest
in Love V💜🔰 His voice is powerful, stunning,sweet and Super God ability. I aslo love different tone of Kook,Jin,Jimin they vocal weave very good hype & melodies
One of the many things I love about BTS is how it's not always the 7 of them that sing/rap together. They have songs just for the vocal line, songs for just the rap line, solos, and subunits and it's still all BTS. Maybe there is but I can't think of another group where each member has a solo song on an actual group album and are able to perform those songs when they tour. Did you know BTS is the only kpop group where each member has a solo song with over 100 million streams on Spotify. That's part of the reason why I think BTS is so successful. Because each member could easily be a solo star if they chose to pursue that route. There is no weak link in the group and no one acts like the star of the group either.
the lyrics are written by RM, from the rap line, and produced by Steve Aoki, a rare style change from edm for him, the overall song was inspired by 'the story of Smeraldo' which one of the comment here posted in full.
Love your reaction! I wanted to point out that you'll never find two of the same performances for a song for their live performances. They really perform LIVE, 100%, so they make lil changes to every song, every time. Even if you've gone to the concert the night before, the same song will be treated with a slightly different delivery the night after. They keep their performances, fresh, energetic, lively and sincere. I hope you'll continue to check out their live performances cuz it's where BTS truly truly shines.
I was blessed to see them sing this live and it truly was so quiet and many of us had tears rolling down our face. I hope you get the chance to read the story that is the inspiration for this song and then I would listen to it again. It will make the performance that much more special.
v’a voice is on another level 🔥 He can sing both high and low notes perfectly, and there is a beautiful articulation in his voice that I have not seen in any singer today.👌💜
The vocal line have several songs without rap,and the rappers have their own performances too. More vocal line performances you will be glad to watch,very glad,are the gorgeous,atmospheric House of Cards and the different vibe with Dimple.Both live with subs.
This is the vocal line… bts has a rap line and a vocal line… actually they also have a dance line lol so other than solo songs or duo songs…. There can be vocal line and also rap line songs separately…. Other good vocal line songs -house of cards live -lost live -dimple live Some great rap like songs -ugh (if you can react to the live from the map of the soul on:e concert… it’s incredible) - ddaeng (this song is a cheeky clap back to haters but in such a smart way that you have to check out the “explanation” video by dkdktv to understand the cultural references and why it’s such a genius word play rap song) -outro tear , this is a song suga wrote in the hospital after surgery… the group was in a rough spot and thinking about disbanding…. So he wrote the original lyrics and played it for the whole group and they all cried together and were able to push through and keep going. This is an extremely powerful song when you know that’s what it’s about… if you do this one I’d say maybe do a color coded lyric video but also the live performance in the black dior,” I know that sounds weird lol it’s less about the clothes and all about how they perform it… it’s such a powerful track but in a very different way than you’d imagine I think…. This one is god tier of bts songs
💜FYI - this is where they got inspiration for the song: There's a very old and sad story called, 'La Città di Smeraldo' that takes place in a small town in Italy (written in the 16th Century -1500's).

If only he had been brave enough to approach her😭 Song Lyrics English Trans: (credit - Doolset Bangtan Lyrics - best translations of all BTS songs) This garden where loneliness is in full bloom Covered with prickly thorns, I chained myself to this sandcastle What your name is, Whether you have anywhere to go, Oh could you tell me? I saw you hiding into this garden And I know that all your warmth is real The hand that picks a blue flower, I want to hold, but it’s my fate Don’t smile on me Light on me I can’t come closer to you I don’t have a name to be called by You know that I can’t Show you ME Give you ME I can’t show you my miserable self, so, yet again, I wear a mask and go to meet you But I still want you A flower that looks like you bloomed in the garden of loneliness I wanted to give it to you after taking off this foolish mask But I know that I can’t never ever do so that I have to hide myself because I’m ugly I’m afraid I’m miserable I’m so afraid Fearing that you, too, might leave me again in this end, yet again, I wear a mask and go to meet you But, all I can do is this, in this garden, in this world, after I make bloom a flower that looks like the beautiful you, to live as “I” that you know But I still want you But I still want you Perhaps, back then, by just a little, by just a bit, if I had taken courage and stood in front of you, would everything have been different now I’m crying at this sandcastle that is vanished, collapsed, and left alone, looking at the broken mask And I still want you But I still want you But I still want you And I still want you Greetings from Sydney Australia, I am really glad you are enjoying your BTS journey, thank you for sharing it with us. 💜
Someone earlier was mentioning subunits. You have to hear SOPE, that’s SUGA and J-Hope, doing Otsukare. A totally different experience to this one but not to be missed.
The have sub-unit songs where only certain members will do it. They have some Rap line songs and some that have a mix, some just vocal line and some solo songs. Depends on the song.
My time - jungkook live performance or “jungkook the king of acapella” by Ida s th-cam.com/video/w78NEej3ajc/w-d-xo.html Jungkook is the king of harmonies and ad libs…. Which is very clear from this performance lol main vocalist jk and his golden vocals….. but for real jimin, Tae and jin each of them have incredible voices and the boys do so well with story telling aspects of the songs…. They really are incredible artists and performers
Please react to V's Sweet Night, Singularity, Winter Bear etc. V has a deep soulful voice and he can sing high notes too. Thank you and God bless your channel.
The story is part of the Bangtan Universe, published on the fake blog for the flower shop where the Smeraldo flower is "sold". I spoke with some Italian ARMY and they told me they couldn't ever find the story in their language. I don't think it's really an Italian story!
Hundred times i heard this song but it always gives me a goosebumps specially with Jimin and Jk harmonizing at the end..
Jungkook Ad-libs and vocals 🔥😍
My favorite vocalist in the world 💜💜
House of cards is another beautiful ballad that is sung by the vocal line. Louder than bombs is also wonderful and features all seven members.
I second this. Also recommend 'Dimple'
Seokjin 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Jin 😍
Everyone is gorgeous, but Jin... WOW king of high note! 😍😍😍
Jin♡♡♡♡♡
Jungkook vocals adlibs harmonizing wow amazing

The flower was a smeraldo btw and it is also shown several times in its universe
If u look at the lyrics again with reference to this, everything will make much more sense.
So u need to love yourself in order to love someone else
This is amazing, I've never heard this story before. I really need to dive deeper into their songs and the meanings. Thanks for this comment!!!

Love V's voice deep & soulful 😍

in Love V💜🔰 His voice is powerful, stunning,sweet and Super God ability. I aslo love different tone of Kook,Jin,Jimin
they vocal weave very good hype & melodies
The fact that..Jimin was sick and his throat is not well..so Jimin told JK to sing with him.
I love this song. In my opinion Jimin and Jk vocals hits always different, but I love them all so much.
There's only four because it's the 'vocal line' (Jin, Jimin, V, JK). The rapline (RM, Suga, J-Hope) also have songs that they perform
The live stage performance of this song moved me to tears. It is one of the performances that made me Army and recognize how talented they are!
Jungkook le da la calma a mi vida con esa voz tan angelical que tiene💞💞💞💞
Jimin unique voice💘
Wooow bts vocals… i cannot believ jk was the main vocal while the three vocals was had a voice like that too..
Jimin's vocals in this song always have me tearing up. He's so good at emotions
Same here🥺❤
That's true😕👍🤟💜
Jungkook the king of vocal adlib harmonize

CHILLS is what this performance gives me every. single. time.

One of my fav songs 🥺💜💜💜🔥
You should see the Wembley performance in 2019 with the crowd singing along with them. Gives me goosebumps every time.

Love Kim Taehyung deep, soulful voice.

I feel like Jin is so so under rated but they're all amazing.
When they are in concerts they do rap line and vocal line songs. Also, they do solo performances.
Jimin's highnotes 💜💜💜💜
I just binged watch all your BTS MV reactions by the way..🙂
Cheers 😀👍-dave
RM is one of the writers for this song (as he is for sooo many of their hit songs), and he’s so underrated
Every time that i see and listen to this song gave a lot of chills !!! they are amazing!!

Song Lyrics English Trans: (credit - Doolset Bangtan Lyrics - best translations of all BTS songs)
This garden where loneliness is in full bloom
Covered with prickly thorns,
I chained myself to this sandcastle
What your name is,
Whether you have anywhere to go,
Oh could you tell me?
I saw you hiding into this garden
And I know
that all your warmth is real
The hand that picks a blue flower,
I want to hold, but
it’s my fate
Don’t smile on me
Light on me
I can’t come closer to you
I don’t have a name to be called by
You know that I can’t
Show you ME
Give you ME
I can’t show you my miserable self,
so, yet again, I wear a mask and go to meet you
But I still want you
A flower that looks like you bloomed in the garden of loneliness
I wanted to give it to you
after taking off this foolish mask
But I know
that I can’t never ever do so
that I have to hide myself
because I’m ugly
I’m afraid
I’m miserable
I’m so afraid
Fearing that you, too, might leave me again in this end,
yet again, I wear a mask and go to meet you
But, all I can do is this,
in this garden,
in this world,
after I make bloom a flower that looks like the beautiful you,
to live as “I” that you know
But I still want you
But I still want you
Perhaps, back then,
by just a little,
by just a bit,
if I had taken courage and stood in front of you,
would everything have been different now
I’m crying
at this sandcastle that is vanished, collapsed, and left alone,
looking at the broken mask
And I still want you
But I still want you
But I still want you
And I still want you

Vocal line (4) sing together, and rap line (3) raps together.

Jimin’s ending line rips me apart everytime 😭 and he looks like a fricking fairy in that hair

So, BTS have a lot of unit songs. So, only the vocal line or only the Rap line and then sometimes it's 3 or 2 of them and then solos. They do it all!!
Three words
House

Love House of Cards. Another amazing vocal line song.

The have sub-unit songs where only certain members will do it. They have some Rap line songs and some that have a mix, some just vocal line and some solo songs. Depends on the song.
BTS has 4 vocalists and 3 rappers (who also do vocals sometimes) and the vocalists sometimes do rap. I never heard this one. TFS
