TBH I think Big Hit created this video, this masterpiece, for people like you guys who understand music in the way that you guys play instruments and study and learn from it everyday and maybe base your careers based on music. I think, I mean when I listened to it, I would have never ever thought about how the music itself was trying to trick the listener like the movie "Black Swan" was aiming for. I don't think that Big Hit said "oh let's transform the instruments as the dancers, I bet everyone will understand it", I think they knew that most people wouldn't be able to point it out like you guys did, and I am so thankful for your guys input and knowledge because it just shows how music can be more than what we see, what we can't see in music is the most meaningful
Actually i believe the shadow is accepted a lot later in the album. I might be wrong... but the album obviously goes through various phases and black swan is still in the shadow phase... The first phase was persona (the songs from "map of the soul: persona"), the second phase is shadow, when the shadow takes over and they are all in a very dark depressing place (suga's interlude named shadow, black swan, probably everything up until "ON"!?). And the end is j-hope's Ego, the perfect happy ending. They have overcome their persona, accepted their shadows, and found their true self. But maybe the dancers didn't know about the concept in detail. They choreographed it on their own with little input from big hit.
naylonlove that’s true but I think although black swan is mostly about the dark side before accepting your shadow as part of u, they still addressed the whole message of the album in the mv, which might also be one of the reasons why they released it first
RIGHT someone mentioned "shadow" like halfway thru the video and i got chills bc this WHOLE album is all about this whole concept of shadows.....apparently they say something about shadows in every single song on mts7 👀
I loved what Owen said "the main character was held by the shadow characters. To the middle one it was much more dramatic and passionate - it was like a fight scene almost choreographed and that was like You are fighting with the shadows within yourself. And at the end when it went to more of a resolutional perspective of the beginning but it felt like we had gone through past that. We had gone through that eternity so it felt different. At the end it felt like the Swan had accepted the shadow and the shadow had risen the Swan up" I myself couldn't have had said it better!
And this just goes to show you how universal the message of this song/video are and the struggle of dealing with your shadows, trying to find balance, trying to find fulfillment in life at all stages
That's basically what BTS want to convey within their musicality and discography as an artist aswell. They have accepted the dark shadow they are fighting with in conlusion their past, the resentments to people who looked down on them, that's their shadow and at the end, they want to embraced it as ONE of themselves.
I think the art film is just presenting the first death and not inline with BTS concept as a whole. Remember the dance company interpreted it any way they wanted. Notice how the shadows are lifting him up and the camera doesn't stop there. It pans upward as he slowly sinks trying to fly. Even RM interpreted it that. Watch their reaction video.
Omg finally! The girl at 6:05 was spot on if she was talking about what I think she was. Some people mostly non armys were saying the autotune was overdone but it wasnt supposed to serve as autotune with no purpose. That very odd autotune was the shadow and a combination of all 7...it was like representing the shadow taking over. I explain it kind of weird but some people explain it better. So cool to see someome hear it and immediatley understand the tone of that the song carries
Shannon Rochon there are some other songs that I’ve noticed they used it (maybe it’s not auto tune but a different type of filter) but I wonder if it was used creatively then because though I’m aware Black Swan and some other songs use it for the effect the emotion the art which is amazing, some other songs use it and I kind of can’t hear bts’s voice if that makes sense. It’s like I don’t hear the roughness and rawness of their voice and I’m not sure if I’m describing this right😫. Their voices are now fluid which is cool and satisfying but idk I don’t really like it because it makes a weird sound idk! Maybe if I know the meaning for it, if there is one I could understand why it sounds like that. Their songs still slap👏🏼
"Did they end on like, seven? Scale degree 7?" DUDE I GOT GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTHING MACTH THEY THINK ABIUT EVERYTHING (they are 7 they make 7 years of debut this year and their album is called 7)
Also there were 7 dancers including main dancer in the video...it could also mean that when one member was suffering the other 6 helped to soar high?? This is crazy...I hope they get to perform this version in some main American award shows...
tresa chapman fr! I’d people to see more of the artistry that is in BTS and behind the scenes with their dance choreographers and directors for music videos and their whole team. That all of them are geniuses and know what they’re doing lol
@@belle208 Honestly, I’m not even into their music (it’s good, just not my style except for one or two songs), but I’m so into their aesthetic and the artistic side of the songs and lyrics. Anyone who says they are overrated is lying - maybe some people hype them for other reasons, but the thought put into everything they produce warrants all praise they get imo. Could be the artist in me speaking xD
I didn't even THINK of that!! When you end on scale degree 7 in both major and minor, it sounds "unfinished" because your ear wants to get to tonic (one note up). I thought it was their way of musically saying "keep going, this isn't the end for you." (And like- the shadow will probably come back, because this sort of thing isn't a one-and-done fight). God I love BTS so much; this is genuis
Pretty sure that is the quietest I have ever seen this group during the actual music. Def appreciators of the actual sounds. I let my 14 year old listen to this on the way to her violin lessons and she was mesmerized. She went into lessons and played it to her teacher who is from another country and the teacher fell in love and wants to try and play it. I only mention the foreign piece because it shows how music can transcend race and language.
I have a feeling they might release it next muster or something. The trailer version of spring day and the alternate version of fake love were both released eventually so I'm crossing my fingers that they release this version too.
i've heard on twitter some timne ago there is a orchestra version released on spotify or somewhere idk where becuase it's not available in my country but here it is on youtube as well th-cam.com/video/idwvEw1LkKc/w-d-xo.html
The fact that the entire meaning was implemented in the instrumentals alone is outstanding, something I couldn't decipher purely because I have no knowledge of music. This video really outlines and pinpoints the details within the music that opened my eyes to how amazing the production really is.
I always feel like a musical smartass whenever I watch your videos when in reality I don't really know that much about music but I am learning from your videos.
11:07- 11:40 THIS!

Celeste X got it right away too. She interpreted it through the dance (bc she's a dancer) but her interpretation was the same and spot on in my opinion
PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE SEEN THE DOCUMENTARY!!!???? THEY SHOW THE PROCESS OF INVOLVING A WHOLE MARCHING BAND & A CHOIR FOR THE TITLE TRACK OF MOTS:7 "ON"
I just saw it and THANK YOU, I was feeling so down for reasons and the fact that BTS collaborate so much and so well with other musicians and article makes me smile so bad. Thanks. And everybody should see this video
Watching people who ACTUALLY KNOW about music praising BTS's work makes me feel so proud of them. Just like Yoongi said 'You'll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice.' and if you don't like this one, you'll find other one that will suit your taste cause like they said 'The genre is BTS'. Not just the music, the message that they try to deliver from their lyrics are relatable to every gender, race, social background and any age group which will make you realize how diverse ARMY (BTS's fanbase) are. The way many has been helped by their works always baffled me. They really are a hardworking and humble artists, I'm so happy to ever find them.
"it's relatable to anyone who is in the realm of performing arts" I FELT this, I dance (and studied film and did some intro coursework in theater) and this was amazing to me on so many levels. This was definitely a multilayered art piece.
😭 the reaction that BLACK SWAN art film deserves. The first time I watched pretty much as soon as the strings started up I was thinking “yes! This. Is. It. Yes!!!”. I was immediately completely on board with it. I felt so sad when so many fans were saying to reactors who were reacting to this art film “there’s the album version which is way different, like trap, and cool” seemingly without appreciating the beauty of this piece as a whole. Yes! To the point about it all being a perfect marriage. And Yes! To the comparison to Bolero. And also to the point about their voices being melded kind of matches the quality of strings. Wait... what was Tchaikovsky saying?
I missed Yunyi!!! I hope he's doing well, it was so good seeing him and hearing what he had to say once more!! But it was also great to hear what everyone else had to say too, especially Owen, I think he was particularly eloquent 👌
@@dummydami thank you for telling me!! The last I knew was that Yunyi was using they/them pronouns so that's why I stuck to that, but I'll make sure to use he/him from now on :)
That fermata? That bridge? That dance break -(that made me think the time signature or bpm changed)- ? I so wanna hear more about what I didn't manage to catch.
@@MiaAshley93 he was in another Reactothek video 5 to 6 months ago and it was revealed in that video that he transitioned so he goes by him/his pronouns now.😊
@@sweetmimosamommysaranghae3163 no its still Yunyi, only his pronouns changed, that's all, but if you still want to confirm, you can still see in the intro of this video when Umu is giving the introduction to the song, every member's name who is reacting in this video is shown below them, and Yunyi's name is definitely being shown as Yunyi (with special guest being written below her name). It's between 2:02 - 2:04. Hopefully that helped😊💜
That's it, that's the video I needed about the Art Film of Black Swan. I love to hear the musicians guesses and opinions about the songs, and I was very curious about how would go with this one and it's perfect
"this is something that affects every artist and genre" so true it hit me so much when I first heard it and I loved that they used cello so heavily cuz I can actually pick it apart
YESSsss I WAS WAITING FOR THIS BECAUSE I LOVE THE ART FILM VERSION OF BLACK SWAN BETTER THAN THE OTHER VERSION!! it's my preference & i think it's because i'm also a musician so i really appreciate the instrumentation more in the art film. still like the other version though! edit: WHAT IF THEY USE THE ORCHESTRAL VERSION OF BLACK SWAN AT MAMA OR MMAS
To write the lyrics, to create this song, Namjoon watched "Black Swan" movie for a couple times, alone in his room, tho he already watched it before. And...he cried a lot. He said he didn't understand why he cried, maybe because he's getting older or so. He cried as well when writing "We are Bulletproof: the Eternal" since it's about their past, how they had to face the hardships. But, the album itself is about revealing their past, pain and shadow for being BTS members. I was amazed by this Black Swan MV version and love the song so much. Thank you for making a reaction video about this song.
I pounded the table at 11:04-11:48, yes yes yes. Precisely the journey of self discovery and embracing your dark tortured self to become complete interrupted through dance and music. BTS Black Swan is a masterpiece in my opinion. You all are great. Loving the content.
This is the video that introduced me to BTS. I watched your reaction over a year and a half ago and kept thinking during this that "oh this is different what they're doing, you better pay attention...this kind of music, this kind of art, is important." So thank you, this was a beautiful introduction to BTS's music, artistry, and depth. Since then, their music and message have helped me so much. I hope you are all doing well.
If and when you react to ON, please bring up that they collaborated with the Blue Devils Drum Corps, since it's a huge deal for the band and corps community, as well as traditional musicianship in general.
As someone who is an army, student of Jungian psychology and an art enthusiast who would easily marry a personification of classical music, this whole album, also known as a masterpiece, was a totally divine and monarchical feast for me.
Elizabeth and Owen's explanation gave me goosebumps. Seriously. I keep replaying their part. They didn't just focus on technicalities but rather more on what they felt and observed in the film. It's really different when you have knowledge about certain things because you understand it in a whole different perspective, and you can elaborate it for other people to understand it the way you do. Or maybe it's the way they explained it that I totally understand what they're talking about and what the video is all about. Because when I first watched it, yeah it kinda gave me an idea and I felt what it wanted me to feel. However, I couldn't pin point that exact word to describe it. I understood but I couldn't explain. And I love how Elizabeth and Owen connect everything in the video. From music to choreography to the movie Black Swan. It all make sense now. Thank you! PS. I miss Yunyi and Kevin together and their arguments hahah So glad they are back!
I love how when the swan falls or gets hurt the shadows quickly rush to him and cover him, swallow him. And you can't see anything but the shadows. And when he tries to stand independently the shadows grab him fast and pull him back. Back into the dark almost wanting him to be weak for them to take over. And at the end he tries to fly and be free from his insecurities I guess but they prevent him and keep him down from doing what he wants. Maybe I'm just dumb and over thinking
I love how even though I didn't fully understand some of the points they were making, it started a debate at the end. It made me view the song differently and now I'm actually interested to learn more about the techniques they used.
You're absolutely right about this song connecting to people in all areas of the arts; I'm a jeweller and this song means so much to me it made me cry when I first heard it! Love your insight into the music as always guys
Black swan is one of the reasons why BTS is really a unique and special group. I really love black swan, I can say that, I never heard such a masterpiece before, and for me, black swan version orchestra is a superior song of all time
at 5:38 when the lady with the purple sweater said that the "strings are all kind of doing their own thing, but staying rhythmically together" it reminded me of their concept and how there are different parts of ourselves like the Shadow, Persona and more how they are different but the same.
I literally just did a music theory assignment where we analyzed a song of our choice and of course I did black swan orchestra version and after doing the assignment then watching this video made me kinda proud of myself that what I had said was similar to what these professionals are saying :)
This was so amazingly described and it's unbelievable to me that they were able to nail the story line with only instruments. that one guy at 11:05 really got the whole concept of mots7 era and the way he described it was so fascinating because i haven't seen people who react to these videos actually give intricate opinions on what they think it means, big fan of you guys now.
I've been waiting for this reaction. As a vocalist and violin player I was blown away by this version. I prefer it more then the official version cause this one seems more in the moment and more extenstial
Please I kept coming to your videos about bts because there's so much in their music. Not just the vocals but the melody too. So hearing these from musicians just fascinates me.
I'm watching this again bcs as someone who analyses everything in their music, it really confirms my thoughts, so here's timestamps of my favorite reactions adn thoughts that resonates with the band 4:43 BTS were just walking through the industry without a plan in their debut days other than making genuine music and express their talents, so you can count it as "improvising". Especially when the fame is already hitting them(Fame has consequences) i love how everyone was listening attentively,😭 6:16 black swan was released even before the pandemic, hell I think black swan was already in the making in 2017 during their wings era. I think the change comes from the pressure on them on being the biggest boy band in our generation and how bcs they're constantly making new content with talents. Even if it comes naturally, it's still be out burning 7:40 bro, yes! Every member always helps the process of each album
Beautifully choreographed, performed and the musical talents of BTS. I am in heaven. ❤ the lead dancer was mesmerising. One of my all time fav BTS songs.
Out of ALL the TH-cam reactions (and I mean it),,,out of ALL...you guys are THE most genuine and pay the MOST attention to the music and meanings. You also pay so much respect to the artists’ work. As an Army and fellow musician, thank you so much.💜
BTS is the first group I've seen who can pull off hip hop and classical music!! I think this song is not just relatable to artists but all people with a passion. If I remember correctly, JungKook had said sth like rather die than live without passion. I feel that, living without passion is not really living.
The way Owen just sat down and digested the video so beautifully and accurately made me cry??? When he described his theory/interpretation i couldn’t hold back the tears with how impressed i was. It’s just beautiful to see how the arts can speak such volumes and work in such a harmony while also sometimes purposefully not trying to be harmonic to get a point across. It’s something anyone and everyone can feel an impact from, it’s just about whether a person wants to give it a chance and let it speak to them. So glad they reacted to Black Swan, i was anticipating this since it came out.
I feel like this song does not only speak to people who do performing arts, but also arts in general like painters or writers and not only them but people with a passion for something too like people who are into sports or something that moves them beyond understanding. When you loose inspiration or passion for something that has been part of not only your life but also your soul and personality you die a little inside and that's very painful. This song is so universally beautiful and painful at the same time.
no but the way i SQUEALED seeing yunyi back pls i'm so happy rn :') edit: i realised now the little thingy said "special guest" but still i'm really glad awh. + this version of the song is my favourite because it's so emotional. i always wish i could listen to it the way you guys do, but hearing your thoughts and opinions is the next best thing. thanks for always putting out the content you do
I AM SO HAPPY YUNYI'S BACK! And i absolutely love all your diverse opinions on this song. It helps me to understand the song more and gain more respect for BTS.
Even visual artists can relate. The colors created by this for me as a fine, digital & artisanal artist were absolutely incredible, inspiring & emotive. I wanted to literally invade my own studio & drown it in feathers.
I love listening to your analysis and insight so much! Also, on "It's relatable to anyone who is in the realm of performing arts" - I believe it's relatable to everyone who is passionate about anything. Maybe it's connected to the creative process, but I'd rather say that the only requirement is a strong emotional attachment. A professional athlete will be equally devastated if they can't compete any more as I was as a software engineer, when I lost a great deal of my ability to maintain a high level of concentration due to severe depression. If we are passionate about doing something, we all are prone to experience that painful first death.
I love when non-army artists talk deeply about BTS's concept because I am an artist myself. I love when they really get the message of the MUSIC not the LYRICS. I don't think many people will understand what i am trying to say but it is really beautiful to see people connecting through their music with deep messages.
Been eagerly waiting for this reaction. Love this channel!! I've been introduced to so many other artist, so thank you!! Edit: But what if they ended on the 7th, wouldn't that be poetic???

The swan has accepted the shadow ? That dude is spot on with the theory.
He just figured out the entire message of the album from the choreography, which goes to show how amazing it is.
Actually i believe the shadow is accepted a lot later in the album. I might be wrong... but the album obviously goes through various phases and black swan is still in the shadow phase... The first phase was persona (the songs from "map of the soul: persona"), the second phase is shadow, when the shadow takes over and they are all in a very dark depressing place (suga's interlude named shadow, black swan, probably everything up until "ON"!?).

But maybe the dancers didn't know about the concept in detail. They choreographed it on their own with little input from big hit.
But still in the end it feels inconclusive, it feels like there’s a big question mark in the end of the album with Ego.

He's not even an Army and just solved the theory
that was soo good!!!
And this just goes to show you how universal the message of this song/video are and the struggle of dealing with your shadows, trying to find balance, trying to find fulfillment in life at all stages
I'm having the same opinion like the fight scene n embracing shadow where main dancer held high by the rest of black dress dancers as shadow
_goosebumps_
@11:05 this guy has no idea he is about to present the BEST synopsis of the entire BTS MOTS era
he truly nailed it
He is a genius
That's basically what BTS want to convey within their musicality and discography as an artist aswell.

Yup...they very rarely use autotune just to use it. Instead they use it as it was meant to be used. As an accompaniment.
The autotune was used to make 7 voices to sound like 1, to put it on simpler terms for people that may not understand :D
You explained it perfectly 💜

owen is so smart!! he got the message at the first watch
I did too. But I’m a proud detective Army, sooo...
A.C.ArmyExo-L GlamQueen its kind of easier for us cuz we are more engaged with the theories but the fact that he got it right away... wow
Watching people who ACTUALLY KNOW about music praising BTS's work makes me feel so proud of them. Just like Yoongi said 'You'll like BTS music if you listen without prejudice.' and if you don't like this one, you'll find other one that will suit your taste cause like they said 'The genre is BTS'.
Not just the music, the message that they try to deliver from their lyrics are relatable to every gender, race, social background and any age group which will make you realize how diverse ARMY (BTS's fanbase) are. The way many has been helped by their works always baffled me. They really are a hardworking and humble artists, I'm so happy to ever find them.
YUNYI. *YUNYI !!* The way Kevin turned to Yunyi immediately after the video ended, almost like "yes, go off."
"it's relatable to anyone who is in the realm of performing arts"
I FELT this, I dance (and studied film and did some intro coursework in theater) and this was amazing to me on so many levels. This was definitely a multilayered art piece.
the way they recognised what instruments were being played just by ear ..... musicians are so cool
11:37 that guy is a genius. He was spot on.
😭 the reaction that BLACK SWAN art film deserves. The first time I watched pretty much as soon as the strings started up I was thinking “yes! This. Is. It. Yes!!!”. I was immediately completely on board with it. I felt so sad when so many fans were saying to reactors who were reacting to this art film “there’s the album version which is way different, like trap, and cool” seemingly without appreciating the beauty of this piece as a whole.
Yes! To the point about it all being a perfect marriage. And Yes! To the comparison to Bolero. And also to the point about their voices being melded kind of matches the quality of strings.
Wait... what was Tchaikovsky saying?
I missed Yunyi!!! I hope he's doing well, it was so good seeing him and hearing what he had to say once more!! But it was also great to hear what everyone else had to say too, especially Owen, I think he was particularly eloquent 👌
yunyi uses he/him pronouns 💜
@@dummydami thank you for telling me!! The last I knew was that Yunyi was using they/them pronouns so that's why I stuck to that, but I'll make sure to use he/him from now on :)
@@jamie-p7e no problem! thank you for editing your comment 😊
@@dummydami of course! I didn't want to misgender him after being corrected 💜
Please do “On” I would love LOVE their opinion
Un Known yes please❤️
That fermata? That bridge? That dance break -(that made me think the time signature or bpm changed)- ? I so wanna hear more about what I didn't manage to catch.
Yasshhhh trueee me too
And the dialogue film of On!!!! PLEASEEEEEEEEEE
Yes
yunyi has blue tips like jungkook.🥰🥰
That was all I could think about everytime I looked at him 😳
No More Dream or Irony yunyi is a girl haha
@@MiaAshley93 he was in another Reactothek video 5 to 6 months ago and it was revealed in that video that he transitioned so he goes by him/his pronouns now.😊
Daisy Ramchiary yeah and didn't he change his name too? Like it's not yunyi anymore?
@@sweetmimosamommysaranghae3163 no its still Yunyi, only his pronouns changed, that's all, but if you still want to confirm, you can still see in the intro of this video when Umu is giving the introduction to the song, every member's name who is reacting in this video is shown below them, and Yunyi's name is definitely being shown as Yunyi (with special guest being written below her name). It's between 2:02 - 2:04. Hopefully that helped😊💜
Me, a music theory muggle: Oh yes, the syncopation. *nods in agreement* I concur.
That's it, that's the video I needed about the Art Film of Black Swan. I love to hear the musicians guesses and opinions about the songs, and I was very curious about how would go with this one and it's perfect
_"Tchaikovsky was gay by the way i'M jUsT sAyiNg-"_
Love how it just cut out after that
but did she lie 👁️👃👁️
I didn't understand that part, what did he mean by that?
BTS making everyone appreciate art, of all forms. They have really expanded my capacity, appreciation and love of art. It's just incredible.
Cant wait for your reaction on new mv of bts "ON"
"this is something that affects every artist and genre" so true it hit me so much when I first heard it and I loved that they used cello so heavily cuz I can actually pick it apart
YESSsss I WAS WAITING FOR THIS BECAUSE I LOVE THE ART FILM VERSION OF BLACK SWAN BETTER THAN THE OTHER VERSION!! it's my preference & i think it's because i'm also a musician so i really appreciate the instrumentation more in the art film. still like the other version though!
edit: WHAT IF THEY USE THE ORCHESTRAL VERSION OF BLACK SWAN AT MAMA OR MMAS
I’m so mad it’s not on the album like how am I supposed to listen to it on repeat. I just don’t understand
@@rainbowgirl949494 SAME what do i do when i wanna bop to classical black swan on repeat?
I also like this version more.
I'm not a musician but I love classical music, so BTS + classic is a big win for me. Too bad BH didn't include this version in the album n Spotify :-(
did you ever listened to mixed version of both? i think it can be founded somewhere on yt. together they sound perfect!
Flashback to Yunyi and Kevin bickering about Lie being Minor or Major. Love this.
Which video is 10:05 from? I can't find it
To write the lyrics, to create this song, Namjoon watched "Black Swan" movie for a couple times, alone in his room, tho he already watched it before. And...he cried a lot. He said he didn't understand why he cried, maybe because he's getting older or so. He cried as well when writing "We are Bulletproof: the Eternal" since it's about their past, how they had to face the hardships. But, the album itself is about revealing their past, pain and shadow for being BTS members. I was amazed by this Black Swan MV version and love the song so much. Thank you for making a reaction video about this song.
I pounded the table at 11:04-11:48, yes yes yes. Precisely the journey of self discovery and embracing your dark tortured self to become complete interrupted through dance and music. BTS Black Swan is a masterpiece in my opinion. You all are great. Loving the content.
This is the video that introduced me to BTS. I watched your reaction over a year and a half ago and kept thinking during this that "oh this is different what they're doing, you better pay attention...this kind of music, this kind of art, is important." So thank you, this was a beautiful introduction to BTS's music, artistry, and depth. Since then, their music and message have helped me so much. I hope you are all doing well.
If and when you react to ON, please bring up that they collaborated with the Blue Devils Drum Corps, since it's a huge deal for the band and corps community, as well as traditional musicianship in general.
Seb Bat Yes they need to know! It’s a huge deal for me too, since my teacher was a member of the Blue Devils and I want to play with them one day
Henry is forever iconic
agree lol
This is a 2yr old reaction by musicians. Watching this again reminds me how much BTS invest into their music. Their music is relatable & timeless.
The choreographer is Polish-American
As someone who is an army, student of Jungian psychology and an art enthusiast who would easily marry a personification of classical music, this whole album, also known as a masterpiece, was a totally divine and monarchical feast for me.
Elizabeth and Owen's explanation gave me goosebumps. Seriously. I keep replaying their part. They didn't just focus on technicalities but rather more on what they felt and observed in the film. It's really different when you have knowledge about certain things because you understand it in a whole different perspective, and you can elaborate it for other people to understand it the way you do. Or maybe it's the way they explained it that I totally understand what they're talking about and what the video is all about. Because when I first watched it, yeah it kinda gave me an idea and I felt what it wanted me to feel. However, I couldn't pin point that exact word to describe it. I understood but I couldn't explain. And I love how Elizabeth and Owen connect everything in the video. From music to choreography to the movie Black Swan. It all make sense now. Thank you!
PS. I miss Yunyi and Kevin together and their arguments hahah So glad they are back!
I love how when the swan falls or gets hurt the shadows quickly rush to him and cover him, swallow him. And you can't see anything but the shadows. And when he tries to stand independently the shadows grab him fast and pull him back. Back into the dark almost wanting him to be weak for them to take over. And at the end he tries to fly and be free from his insecurities I guess but they prevent him and keep him down from doing what he wants. Maybe I'm just dumb and over thinking
No, Nam Joon said something similar as well. You can check out BTS reaction to the Art Film.
they being so focused on the video made me smile a lot
BTS is the first group I've seen who can do hip hop and classical music wow!
Will you also be showing them “ON”? They recorded it with an actual marching band
I love how even though I didn't fully understand some of the points they were making, it started a debate at the end. It made me view the song differently and now I'm actually interested to learn more about the techniques they used.
I've been waiting since you guys reacted first. I'm sooo happy that you've updated now. Thank you 4 sharing.
WAIT HOLD UP I NEED TO PAUSE ITAEWON CLASS FOR THIS
TASTE but I have to sleep first😂
woah your TASTE
yoongiverse PLS I was watching it too 😭😭😭
Is it good?
a&e&r&o SO GOOD pls watch it !!!
I missed Yunyi and Kevin together reacting !!!
I come back here every year because it’s so beautiful to watch you guys speak about music, especially this specific art film.
OMG YUNYI IS HERE
I MISSED HIM
You're absolutely right about this song connecting to people in all areas of the arts; I'm a jeweller and this song means so much to me it made me cry when I first heard it! Love your insight into the music as always guys
Black swan is actually one of bts' top tier songs so yall reaction are real big mood 😂
Black swan is one of the reasons why BTS is really a unique and special group. I really love black swan, I can say that, I never heard such a masterpiece before, and for me, black swan version orchestra is a superior song of all time
THAT DUDE WITH THE BANGER SYPNOSIS OF MOTS......PLEASE JOIN THE ARMY THEORIST, WE NEED A SOLDIER LIKE YOU
I have so much appreciation for musicians. Y'all see the world in a whole 'nother level/realm.
9:03 Now I know how my girlfriend feels when I talk fantasy football draft stats and strategy with my league mates. Lol
as a musician, this was an absolute masterpiece. such a shame that it isn't in the actual album
Them: Speaks in music
Me: do your thang do your thang with me now... 🙂
at 5:38 when the lady with the purple sweater said that the "strings are all kind of doing their own thing, but staying rhythmically together" it reminded me of their concept and how there are different parts of ourselves like the Shadow, Persona and more how they are different but the same.
I literally just did a music theory assignment where we analyzed a song of our choice and of course I did black swan orchestra version and after doing the assignment then watching this video made me kinda proud of myself that what I had said was similar to what these professionals are saying :)
I got goosebumps hearing their insights. Like I never thought that there's more into it in a musician's perspective.
5:07 will forever be one of my favorite musical interpretations
YUNYI !! OMG I HOPE HE’S DOING WELL AND EVERYTHING 💕
I really hope more armys could watch your reactions because bts' is one of a kind. Their discography is just so amazing.
This was so amazingly described and it's unbelievable to me that they were able to nail the story line with only instruments. that one guy at 11:05 really got the whole concept of mots7 era and the way he described it was so fascinating because i haven't seen people who react to these videos actually give intricate opinions on what they think it means, big fan of you guys now.
I've been waiting for this reaction. As a vocalist and violin player I was blown away by this version. I prefer it more then the official version cause this one seems more in the moment and more extenstial
Please I kept coming to your videos about bts because there's so much in their music. Not just the vocals but the melody too. So hearing these from musicians just fascinates me.
me in JK's voice: (inhales) *FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYY!*
I love listening to them arguing about stuff I understand nothing off lol
😂😂😂😂😂 Ikr. I'm like "Yeah you're right" even when I don't understand anything
OHMYGOD YUNYI IS IN THIS
I'm watching this again bcs as someone who analyses everything in their music, it really confirms my thoughts, so here's timestamps of my favorite reactions adn thoughts that resonates with the band
4:43 BTS were just walking through the industry without a plan in their debut days other than making genuine music and express their talents, so you can count it as "improvising". Especially when the fame is already hitting them(Fame has consequences)
i love how everyone was listening attentively,😭
6:16 black swan was released even before the pandemic, hell I think black swan was already in the making in 2017 during their wings era. I think the change comes from the pressure on them on being the biggest boy band in our generation and how bcs they're constantly making new content with talents. Even if it comes naturally, it's still be out burning
7:40 bro, yes! Every member always helps the process of each album
10:01 LOVE the throwback
Beautifully choreographed, performed and the musical talents of BTS. I am in heaven. ❤ the lead dancer was mesmerising. One of my all time fav BTS songs.
THIS WAS THE ONLY REACTION I WAS WAITING FOR THANK SO MUCH 😭❤️
Out of ALL the TH-cam reactions (and I mean it),,,out of ALL...you guys are THE most genuine and pay the MOST attention to the music and meanings. You also pay so much respect to the artists’ work. As an Army and fellow musician, thank you so much.💜
BTS is the first group I've seen who can pull off hip hop and classical music!! I think this song is not just relatable to artists but all people with a passion. If I remember correctly, JungKook had said sth like rather die than live without passion. I feel that, living without passion is not really living.
The way Owen just sat down and digested the video so beautifully and accurately made me cry??? When he described his theory/interpretation i couldn’t hold back the tears with how impressed i was. It’s just beautiful to see how the arts can speak such volumes and work in such a harmony while also sometimes purposefully not trying to be harmonic to get a point across. It’s something anyone and everyone can feel an impact from, it’s just about whether a person wants to give it a chance and let it speak to them. So glad they reacted to Black Swan, i was anticipating this since it came out.
Thank you!
I loved the review. I wish they would have seen the video with the lyrics/captions too. Seriously it's such an amazing song lyrically.
I feel like this song does not only speak to people who do performing arts, but also arts in general like painters or writers and not only them but people with a passion for something too like people who are into sports or something that moves them beyond understanding. When you loose inspiration or passion for something that has been part of not only your life but also your soul and personality you die a little inside and that's very painful. This song is so universally beautiful and painful at the same time.
Thank you so much for adding the definitions of the musical terminology. It helps me follow along and understand more of what the reactors are saying.
You know this performance was far beyond being good when musicians stop talking and are completely focused on the film. Bravo!!!
Finally you guys reacted to BTS again,its been a while..hope to see you guys react to their new song "ON"
I loved this reaction, it was great. I've always loved this song but now I know more about the technical aspects.
Yunyi!! I’m so happy to see him in your videos again!
AwakeningSunshine him? she’s female tho
I LUV FRIES no he’s not. He’s a trans man
AwakeningSunshine you mean lesbian/bisexual not trans man cause i can still sense her being female because of her actions
I LUV FRIES it’s clearly stated in this video th-cam.com/video/wIjugbzzdu8/w-d-xo.html that he is a trans man
i love this editing format
Thank you! I've been working hard to improve it.
no but the way i SQUEALED seeing yunyi back pls i'm so happy rn :')
edit: i realised now the little thingy said "special guest" but still i'm really glad awh.
+ this version of the song is my favourite because it's so emotional. i always wish i could listen to it the way you guys do, but hearing your thoughts and opinions is the next best thing. thanks for always putting out the content you do
I AM SO HAPPY YUNYI'S BACK! And i absolutely love all your diverse opinions on this song. It helps me to understand the song more and gain more respect for BTS.
Even visual artists can relate. The colors created by this for me as a fine, digital & artisanal artist were absolutely incredible, inspiring & emotive. I wanted to literally invade my own studio & drown it in feathers.
that Owen smart guy summed p what I was thinking when watching black swan the first time.
I love listening to your analysis and insight so much!
Also, on "It's relatable to anyone who is in the realm of performing arts" - I believe it's relatable to everyone who is passionate about anything. Maybe it's connected to the creative process, but I'd rather say that the only requirement is a strong emotional attachment. A professional athlete will be equally devastated if they can't compete any more as I was as a software engineer, when I lost a great deal of my ability to maintain a high level of concentration due to severe depression. If we are passionate about doing something, we all are prone to experience that painful first death.
I love when non-army artists talk deeply about BTS's concept because I am an artist myself. I love when they really get the message of the MUSIC not the LYRICS. I don't think many people will understand what i am trying to say but it is really beautiful to see people connecting through their music with deep messages.
I just love it when this channel does the reaction because they actually know how to explain the musicality of the songs💕💕
I don't know i just watch this channel again after a while and... I just fell in love with cloud lol
Been eagerly waiting for this reaction. Love this channel!! I've been introduced to so many other artist, so thank you!!
Edit: But what if they ended on the 7th, wouldn't that be poetic???
that would be such a bts/bighit move tho😄
@@rainbowgirl949494 As quoted from our lovely reactor Hugo:
"And you would say- you would say no one does this on purpose, but you have to remember this is BTS... and BTS expressively does this on purpose because they are melodramatic AF"
I was looking for this comment! 💜
I love your reactions! I love getting feedback from musicians!
I literally paused when I saw Yunyi! I missed Yunyi so much!
