@@tribeloui2023 You forgot Interlude Dream, track N° 9, please check it, it is important, it is the transition from all that anger to beautiful So Far Away, by the way "So Far Away" I have it tattoed with his handwriting xD
@@bangtanlicious8308Yep, but that's for another time, he is doing it step by step, hopwfully when he does SUGA's Interlde ft. Halsey he reacts to SUGA's Interlude Vlive, it gives us to much insight about his ways, practical thinking and work ethics.
Hobi is the Rythem - hes got the beats, the unique flows and intonations. RM is the poet - hes got the metaphors and the technical skill. Suga is pure passion- he FEELS and TELLS. He isnt going to wrap his message up in a metaphor. You dont dig for the meaning. He punches you in the throat with it and then hands you some warm tea and a hug.
@@sakuraschae if you got something to add how about adding it instead of digging for flaws in an otherwise loving comment. I didnt mention hobis writing because this is a yoongi video. I only mentioned 2-3 things that to ME are the most impressive things about each rapline member and comparing how it's different to eachother. I was attempting to be brief.
i think people were telling you you weren't ready cause namjoon's lyrics got you on your thoughts and feelings a little bit (or that's what i got from your reactions) but namjoon's stuff is "sugar coated" in a way, cause it's so poetic. yoongi on the other hand just writes things as they are, his storytelling is raw and direct and the fact that it's so relatable too just hits hard somewhere different from where joon's lyrics hit, you feel me?
The Last... Yoongi, this man is able to use his personal pain and print it in a song that makes people who have gone through similar experiences feel understood. For me and for many people, this song hits right in the heart.
You know whats even crazier? I myself have never gone through any kind of experience like that, but I still feel the pain as if it was mine. The Last is one of my favorite songs till this day and every time I hear it his rap conveys the feeling as if I was living it myself. He is that kind of producer...
@@nickynb8086 oh absolutely! few people can understand the pain and the pressure of fame as he describes it in his lyrics but still, it’s possible to connect emotionally with his music and adapt it to our personal experiences
Agust D is angry. He's the one who expressed anger, hurt, and struggles. now that D-Day promotions are starting, yoongi's been talking about his past projects too and he said that Agust D, as well as D2, are full of anger. And it's so beautiful to see how with himself, his music (i think starting from D-2?) also becomes lighter and calm and genuine. And he even said that he's happy and mentally stable now 🥺 edit: never meant to say that agust d's music wasnt genuine
@@blueturtle1813 oh yes! the anger and everything he expressed as agustd is genuine. i didn't mean to say that it's not. i actually think it's the rawest and most unfiltered, therefore it's so genuine. im sorry i never meant to say agust d is not genuine hehe. :)
@@aubreymojares8779 It's been a long way for him, but he's definitely more at peace now. I'm hoping Armys who are struggling with their mental health (or just health in general) will feel okay too. I really love you, fam.💖💜
So Far Away is one of my favorite songs ever. I want to add that that line you loved, the chorus where he repeats "may your end be prosperous" etc? He deliberately uses an extremely formal style of Korean that is not used in everyday conversation, but rather used by monks in Buddhist monasteries, etc. Basically, the chorus sounds religious, like he's praying for you and me and all of us. It gives me chills Suga said a lot of this mixtape was made when he was in highschool, he's definitely grown and changed so much from that time, but it's a body of work that stands the test of time Fun fact! Halsey discovered BTS through this mixtape! She loved the lyrics and fell in love, became a fan of BTS's work. They met the next year (2017) at the BBMAs, where Halsey was one of the few people who didn't treat them like exotic puppets....Halsey and BTS now call each other friends. Suga and Halsey in particular are really good friends it seems, he went to see her firstborn baby, he even teased her for not responding to his text messages on an interview two days ago.
This is wild to learn bc I’ve always ALWAYS thought the chorus of so far away FELT like a prayer for some ambiguous reason and I felt a little crazy for that feeling so it’s… wild to see it validated in this way 💜 Damn It’s amazing what just… what messages can be conveyed just with *sound* y’know?
6:10 not sure if anyone mentioned this but the crushed shoulder thing,, yoongi was in a car accident in 2012 where he got hit by a car as he was on his delivery shift. He ended up debuting with an injured shoulder and ended up enduring lots of pain and complications. But he got surgery to fix it in late 2020 (i think it was around November if my memory is not tripping), so if you see tannies carrying around a photo cut out of yoongi or anything else to represent him (like a snowman in one of the award shows) it was because he was recuperating from that surgery!
love your reactions btw!!! and just an fyi there's a tony montana live performance with jimin and a so far away one with jungkook and jin if you wanna ever take a look!!
Just randomly stumbled into this mixtape in 2017while hiding out and sobbing on the bathroom floor of my college. Was trying to make it through life with 20 years of undiagnosed adhd, severe social anxiety, and depression and it was not going well. Life was upside down and I had no hope but when Yoongi said "The time when I tried to sleep on a bathroom floor is now a memory to me uh it became a memory" I literally wasn't alone on the bathroom floor anymore. For the first time in my life felt like I wasn't alone and that I could overcome this. Wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Yoongi being vulnerable and open the way he is. This mixtape is what made me find and fall in love with BTS, and it'll always have a special place in my heart.
It's crazy how BTS, in this case Yoongi's, music finds you when you need it the most. This mixtape is timeless, because is human. Human emotions are not a fad, nor a trend, we all feel like this. This mixtape will keep finding people laying on their bathroom floors and make their life a bit better.
shit man, im 17 right now and literally have the same exact problems all diagnosed, i have no idea what im doing and have no interest in staying alive whatsoever. I found bts back in 2017 too and i wouldn't be alive here without them. Im just forever greatful for them and especially Yoongi, that man has my all heart.
@@iminlovewithyoongioof lmao I’m sorry my fat thumb pressed dislike on the comment. Anyway I’m almost 30 now and I’ll tell you it isn’t easy but it does get better! There is happiness to be found and people who will accept and love you dearly like you deserve. Keep doing your best.
The first time i heard The last, i cried man like i literally shred tears with rocking shoulders, there were so many incidents he talks about in that song, like his shoulder injury, the time he hid in the bathroom cuz he couldn't face the crowd damn, he even admitted to attempting suicide which even mentioning is a taboo in Korea.... I relate to this song so much like I too remember crying on the bathroom floor yoongi, thank you for making me not feel alone
The thing about Yoongi, Suga aka our AGUST D is that he is direct and raw. He tell you his everything and make you feel like you are not alone. His works always talks around dream which is beautiful. If he is talking shit, he will call you out directly and if he is talking about pain and human emotions, he will tell you directly too. Which is why I love and resonate with him a lot
So far away, is so special to me, I remember back then in 2018 sitting in front of my pc, scared, lost and crying bc I didn't know what to do with my life, every person that I knew was going to collegue, having a job or making a family, and I was in the same place, without a dream or a passion, this song helped me so much just bc yoongi was telling me that I was not alone. This song really speak to me back then and now, I still don't know what I'm doing, I'm studying a career that I like but I don't love, and I learn that it's fine, maybe I don't have this burning passion that a lot of people have, but I'm okay, I just need to focus on the present and enjoy the moment, maybe one day I will find something that I truly love but in the mean time, I will try my best to be happy with my life and with myself
I feel this. Bts' song paradise was another song that spoke to me on a similar level. I really appreciated them telling me that not everyone has a burning passion and just living life with happiness is enough. I like their emphasis of going through life at your own individual pace.
I feel you! I remember hearing Whalien 52, at the time when I was not alone, surrounded by many people but I was lonely even in a room full of people. I felt as if none could hear my voice. Glad that I am in a better place now. There’s just something in Bangtan’s music. It resonates with you, it heals you!
My heart hurts for yoongi when I hear this album start to finish…all the pain the anger the sadness under the facade he built…the vulnerability rapping his entire life story into the songs…to end it with such a beautiful song like so far away makes me cry
He said he wanted a persona to let out his anger and feelings that he couldn't do as an idol, that's how AGUST D was born. Behind all that anger, confrontation and venting,you can hear him screaming for help, suffering,scared to be alone,I know how that feels. And as always ,I cried again listening to "The last",he is so relatable and that's so comforting,like he's saying,"I made it through so you can too,just don't give up" 😭😭 I love him so much 💜💜
See, just reading the lyrics I would’ve cried if it was to some sad sounding instrumental cuz I can relate so much to him but I can’t cry when the beat goes so hard bro! Lol Like I wanna cry but I’m too busy headbanging to the song, feeling his emotions through his voice. 😅
22:44 can’t express how excited I am for Suga week. Like Namjoon, you’ll get to hear how angry he was during the first mixtape era and how he develops and progresses as a musician and person over time
Talking about personal things like anxiety and depression wasn't really a thing when agust d released, especially not in korea. Yoongi expressing his feelings like that (in a artistic way even) is already very brave but this puts things into perspective. He deserves all the respect and praise.
I never liked RAP before BTS, but the RAP Line are each so incredible, talented, unique, innovative, their individual and joint messages have made me appreciate RAP. 💜
Absolutely loved your reaction! Also, there's a live performance of Tony Montana ft. Jimin, you're gonna love it and a little different version of So Far Away with Jungkook and Jin. I absolutely adore So Far Away, this is my most favourite Suga song, I relateto this song so much....The lyrics hit different😭💜
There is also two versions of so far away One is featuring Jin and JK and the last is just the entire vocal line without suga rap an interlude if you will
This mixtape is everything. So far away and The Last especially spoke to me when I needed it a lot. I literally started crying. This mixtape has special place in my heart !! I will hold it near me forever.
This mixtape is one of the (many) reasons I admire Yoongi SO MUCH. This mixtape was full of anger and fire at the people who tried to tear him down, but at the same time... it's full of vulnerability and grace. That all of these sides of him are on *one* album is just... mind-blowing. He talks about things like social anxiety and depression that NO ONE spoke of in those days, and he straight-out tells ARMY that if talking about his pain helps even one person get through their own struggles, it was all worth it. The hip-hop underground crowd dared to question his manhood for wearing makeup on stage, which is total BS. This? THIS is being a man. THIS is what real courage and strength look like. THIS is standing up for yourself and your loved ones.
I don't think anyone can fully grasp the magnitude of Yoongi releasing his very first mixtape during one of the most turbulent and painful years of BTS history (2015- 2016). Yoongi has been going through so much since his teenage years. I don't even know the kind of courage it takes to show people one's pain. He does not mince words and is not ambiguous with his lyrics. The imagery from his words cuts like a knife. I find myself flinching, holding my breath and silently tears fall every time I listen to his 2 mixtapes. I am just thankful that he found the strength and determination to live and realize his dreams are equally important; that he is not a 'monster' because he has big dreams and that even though he felt that his family and friends were drifting farther away that he is loved and worthy of love. I truly hope that he now knows who the people are who genuinely loves/ cares about him, supports him, has his back in difficult times. In his recent interview with IU, he said he has let go of the anger and negativity and is now at peace. We might see it in his new album. I am very glad. Yoongi deserves so much love, happiness and peace.
I'm so happy you reacted to the Suran version of So Far Away because people tend to overlook it in favor of the J/JK version and Surans voice is so beautiful. That being said!!!! Now you should listen to the Jin/Jungkook version!
The thing is Yoongi is incredibly raw and brave. When it’s taboo to mention mental health in Korea he lays his out in The Last making others able to talk about it. He’s angry but humble and honest. He makes us feel seen but also comforted. Also the last song with Suran is amazing and he won his first producer award in a song he later composed and produced for her “Wine”. Did we skip the interlude on track 9 because his interludes are seriously good production wise.
Fell into rapline and took BTS seriously with Yoongi He spoke on very personal things I endured and i got 1000% where he was coming from And beyond his rap, his productions too just blew me away To understand why he was also so angry you should slowly start the Rise Of Bangtan, BTS coming from a small broke label got so much discrimination and hate, their attitude and perseverance is otherworldly and deeply inspiring! Rags to riches is an understatement compared to where they started from and where they at now! No matter how successful they are today they know the hustle, like Yoongi said in 723148 when he got scouted by Big Hit he was training to debut, while being at school and having a part time delivery job where he crushed his shoulder in an accident! That's part of their story and why they remain extremely grounded in reality, Namjoon touched a bit on this too if you remember in his Suchwita episode
So Far Away is that one song that I achingly feel with every word. it's like yoongi was speaking my soul on my behalf. I have felt exactly like that recently and i still feel it today. Not knowing what to do in life, so lost. People said going to university will sort ur life. It didn't for me. And now that I think I sort of have a dream, i'm so afraid i won't be able to taste it. I just want to disappear sometimes. I felt so isolated from everyone around me. People around me don't seem to get it. But yoongi does.
Agust D was angry at that time, and I am glad they had the platform to express these raw emotions…. Now for his latest album , it’s the calmer Agust D/Suga. For him to say that Suga and Agust D is Min Yoongi, is a sign that he is in a happier state of mind. and as a fan watching him recently ,yes he glowed .
If RM Is the poet, yoongi is the raw exposed nerve emdimgs of passionate expression Thks for running straight Thru august d.. I’ve heard all the parts but never all together in one kind of terrifying flow… Pls Pls add Daechwita explained by a Korean by dkdktv when you react to D-2 without I think it’s impossible to appreciate its amazing depth of Daechwita Thks tribe Louie, you do Not Disappoint 💜💜💜
The accident he talks about here 6:12 actually happened. He finally got an operation in 2020, but for years he pushed through pain, and kept on going, never giving up. Shows what a strong person he is, I truly admire him 🥹💜
oh man, if you liked his first mixtape this much, you're gonna ascend while listening to d-2. this one has genuinely some of my most favourite songs, not only from yoongi but from bts overall. he's so good
the way yoongi is able to talk about his struggles with poverty, mental health, and just the society that surrounds him, all of this while being an incredibly great rapper, producer and songwriter is just… this is what an artist is. he IS the definition of a well-rounded artist. he breathes and eats music, and you can always tell by listening to his craft. and wait till you get to d-2 and see how even the tiniest details of his music video for that album are meticulously planned, leaving you with art in its purest form. …in case you can’t tell i’m so excited for yoongi week aaaaaaa
The raw pain in the Agust D works always hits me in the stomach. It’s no holds bar, no cushion, no gentleness, only the real deal. He did versions of Tony Montana and So Far Away with his other BTS members - they are fantastic and would be fun for Suga week!
The beep was him telling is therapist he tried to commit s*****. His albums are like a personal diary, no sugar coating, no hard metaphor just him taking obout life which makes him soo relatable in a sense. The last is one of those songs I think takes huge guts to make public and him doing it makes me seriously appreciative towards him and his music.
Also So Far Away is gotta be one of my all time favs. When I was going thru a really tough time at 17 trying to figure out what to do in life that song helped me. Unlike my peers who all had plans for the future, I didn't have a dream, I didn't know what to do...Yoongi's words in that song comforted me so much dude. That song understood me like no one could, it was everything I was feeling that moment. Not only did it provide validation but also comfort.
i get it......his music struck you and make you have new found realizations that never thought before, and it's so honest and raw and has so much pain, you need time to organize it.
Isn't it interesting that every member of BTS is a legend? Every one of them can stand solo in the industry and be at the top too. I've been enjoying your toe dipping into each of the guys' work as artists in their own right.
Min Yoongi, genius. The poetry is in the pain. He’s always going to give it to you straight. He’s unafraid of showing his struggles with depression and darkness. Also, the king of beats! Some of my fave BTS songs were written by him. He does a lot of outside producing work, too, using Prod Suga. Side note: JK and Jin sang the guide for so far away which was also beautiful.
Nah So Far Away will always be that song for me. When I first became army in 2019 this song I had on repeat, it really spoke to me as I was going through it and it really gave me comfort and motivation. "The beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will the future be"
When listening to The Last, I always stop to listen, and it's heavy, real heavy. The lyrics behind it and everything he went through before all the fame, you really can feel the pain when he raps to the point that it feels like he's crying. I am so glad and beyond happy that Yoongi's now past all that, and he's healing. 🥹
Woah, we just diving into The Last like that, I feel like I've been pushed off into the deep end Let's gooooo, excited for you to see the grandeur of Min PD, Min Suga, Agust D, see your thoughts and what you take away
Okay first of all, no one utilizes guitars like Suga. He always hits you with those electric guitars (or other tasteful guitars) and it always Hits, it's like his effing signature to me
I'll admit I only listen to Tony Montana featuring Jimin anymore...I like Jimin's verse more than Yankie's, tho Yankie's wasn't bad And Suga's interviews yesterday reminded me that Suga can be a cocky mfer, but in a way that invites everyone to his confidence, yeah, a confidence that makes you feel good
His albums are smth else he won’t beat around bush , do metaphors like joon he just gonna tell you how he feel and if you relate you are not alone then. To me The Last and so far away is that song
he once said that he produced/writes like 200(?) songs a year cause he's makes 1 song per day, with some days as his rest day. so he have lots of songs stored somewhere in his computer.. there are songs he wants other members to sing or the whole group would sing, but other producers told him to store it for now or got rejected so he just kinda puts it on his mixtape 😅
@@biru-kelabu-0821 I searched for the conversation between him and Namjoon, they use the word compose.. so he probably both produce and/or write 😅 thanks for informing me
Hi I'm one of your silent subscribers, I just wanted to say thank you for the time and involvement you take to learn about each BTS member. it's extremely appreciable and enjoyable to follow, thanks 🙂
I can't remember where I got this from...I think yoongi said he hated The Last for a long time but now he's ok with it. even if he still has his down moments (we don't know but fairly speaking everyone does) he has healed a lot judging by his recent interviews Suga was asked what he feels about creating music that is so honest and raw about his pains and sufferings. Suga's answer: "it wasn't that difficult. Because we work on music a lot, we have many songs out there. So when we work on our individual projects, we always think about what to talk about. Now that we look back at those experiences, we feel thankful, because they enable us to tell various stories. And the things that used to be painful to recall. are not anymore, because releasing music also helps alleviate that emotion. For me it has been helpful. Many people are living with their traumatic memories, but i'm sure the moment will come when they overcome that. And i also think you need to go through the process where you organize these emotions. And for me, one of that process is releasing music" there's also this piece from another interview: “I think I’m happier now,” he confides. “I’ve realized that happiness doesn’t require much, and it can be quite simple. I used to think material things would give me happiness, and I worked hard to achieve them. But when I succeeded, I wasn’t so sure anymore. I don’t have many earthly desires anyway,” he says with a laugh. “Perhaps it’s because I now know that material things no longer give me great satisfaction. So now, I try to find happiness in simple things, such as getting up early in the morning and having decaf coffee. I’m glad I’ve finally got to experience this kind of joy. What I lost would be being ordinary. Your ordinary is my extraordinary, right? But I think time will solve this issue.” The Last is from his first mixtape. You can see that he has changed a lot since then by this quote of him: “My first mixtape was all about anger, but then everything was sorted out, right?” SUGA explains with a laugh. “I realized that I didn’t know who to be angry with anymore. Finally, I was able to look at myself. I’d been making a weapon out of anger and a sense of inferiority, but around 2018, my self-destructive rage slowly started to subside. I realized that I couldn’t channel creative energy through only those sorts of emotions any longer.” and now a recommendation for future yoongi's music reaction is his song People from second mixtape “‘People’ is my favorite song as well,” SUGA says. “Because it’s a record of four years of my life. I set aside most songs after they’re done, but I find myself relistening to ‘People’ all the time, and I experience different emotions each time I hear it. It’s a song I put on mostly when I’m feeling lonely and sentimental.” Suga/Agust D began writing music lyrics and working with MIDI at age 11 and held a part-time job composing and arranging music at a recording studio at age 16. Active under the name "Gloss" (wordplay on his name YoonGi, which means "to shine") as an underground rapper, He originally entered Big Hit Entertainment as a producer at age 17 in 2010, but was convinced to become a part of a new group (he was told he wouldn't have to dance!! LOL) as a rapper alongside members J-Hope and RM before making his debut as a member of BTS in 2013. In the initial years of his career in BTS, both he and his fellow group member RM faced criticism from the South Korean underground hip hop scene for "selling out" and becoming K-pop idols. Between his commitments as a member of BTS, Suga/Agust D took advantage of time on the plane and in hotel rooms after concerts to continuously produce and compose music. In an interview for Grazia Korea, Suga/Agust D expressed a desire to release the music he wanted to do without having to consider popular appeal or music ranking. He intended to release his music for free in the form of a mixtape to avoid such considerations, commenting that an album "has a feeling of being trapped in some sort of framework" due to the need for company involvement in promotion and advertising. Developing Agust D musically on the base of hip hop, much of Agust D's inspiration for the lyrics came from his own stories of dream, youth, and reality. In order to differentiate his work from that of his work as Suga, he developed the alter ego "Agust D".
One part of the lyrics for Far Away is wrong in the lyric video you used. It should be “Don’t FALL away”. BTS used the phrase “don’t throw yourself away” in a couple other songs, one being Butterfly.
If you cant tell I'm stoked as HELL for Suga week. Hes my inspiration. Hes not even my bias but hes still somehow the one who inspires me and motivates me and hits me in my soul in a way that no one else(even outside of BTS) does. Hes an amazing human being who has been through the shits, and came out with wisdom. Hes not IQ148 Namjoon, but he has an understanding about how the world works and the people in it. That's why he and Namjoon work SO WELL off of eachother. Namjoon is always asking questions and trying to figure out the world. Yoongi instinctually understands a lot of it. I hope you react to some of their collab songs like Respect and Strange
Also all of the yt lyric videos compress the audio to some extent so the mixing is the best on the official soundcloud tracks and other streaming sites. I highly recommend that for songs with no MV as you really get to feel everything in the mix so so so so much better. Anwyays loved the vid!! Excited for D-2 and his other collabs too :)
I just hope you will deep dive into lyrics like Numjoon for suga. Cause The song "The last" is very personal to him. It literally say about his dippression and thoughts he had about you know -Su*cide and now how he came over that, also his shoulder injury which he had because of accident when he had part-time job delivery back in trainee days, and still went on without treating it until 2020... So every single lyric hold deep story behind it for Suga. you can see mostly all anger he had in Agust D & D-2 albums. He talked about it on recent interview with Disney. But for D-Day he will show different side of him.
The Last and So Far Away..... they are 2 of the most emotional of his songs for me..... I don't cry easily but both have brought me to tears on multiple occasions for both his pain and mine. And his blessings in so far away??? They give you a peek at the man he is - paying it forward because nobody did that for him. Thanks for the reactions Tribe Loui!!! Do enjoy the diversity of our dear lil cat rapper 💜
Context behind why Yoongi rapped these lyrics during Agust D mixtape: BTS were denied as an idol by people who loved idols BTS were rebuked as an idol by people who loved musicians BTS were dragged for things they hadn't done --- to the point they always wondered why do so many people hate them (especially in 2016) Yoongi (along with RM) was looked down upon and accused by other underground K-hip hop rappers who accused them of 'not being hip hop enough or selling out or not conforming to toxic masculinity standards' On a personal level, Yoongi was told he wouldn't make it by pursuing music by people around him (thankfully his elder brother believed in him), and he did struggle alot to get to where he is. He also struggled with social anxiety, depression and other issues (injured his shoulder from doing deliveries as part time job...an ache n pain he put up with for years until he recently went for surgery to fix) -- somehow he always struggled with personal relationships too. ironically bcuz BTS is different, walked the unchartered path, is both idol + musician & defined a unique category of their own is precisely why they attracted so many fans worldwide -- BTS' music from the start was heavily influenced by hip hop and other genres too -- and their lyrics were about substance that no other groups (pop / even other genres) talked about. From the start, BTS had to survive in a 'do or die' mindset so their level of performance was NEXT LEVEL, which threatened many other groups. Hence they received a lot of hate and prejudice from fandoms of other groups. Yoongi talks about this in his latest short interview here, a MUST-WATCH in ur reaction: th-cam.com/video/BQMtAKV2tAY/w-d-xo.html
Ayy great start! Excited to go down this road with you. No matter how many times I hear The Last and So far away, still hits me as strong as the first time but now with even more appreciation! This album, much like RM's first mixtape, is a chaotic mix, rough around the edges but with an unfiltered unique core that shines through. Agust D is sorrow, anxiety, anger, resentment and just pure inner turmoil channeled into the music. No rose-tinted lenses, no sugarcoating, just straight up in your face. His raw, unadulterated passion just speaks to your soul! Jhope's flow is immaculate, top tier and Joon's cadence with his poetry and metaphors is powerful and beautiful but Suga's vulnerability and raw emotional lyricism just speaks to me differently. The way he started out this album, flexing his skills and status while dissing all those who said he'd never succeed (unleashing the pent up frustration within), then going down a memory lane explaining how he got to said status (the struggles that justifies the verbal thrashing he gave out earlier), then ruminating on how said success is slowly poisoning him and making him lose himself (being completely vulnerable and open about even the unpleasant bits of himself) and then ending it on the most emotional of tracks urging you to keep going just as he has. Its..just really amazing. May your trials end in full bloom as well Jonathan!
so far away also has a version with jin and jungkook if u wanna listen to that one too! it's slightly different from the original and references his solo song 'first love' from the bts album wings
@@tribeloui2023 bts always do this they write the deepest and most depressing lyrics on the sickest beats armys would be shaking their ass to new music and then get flabbergasted when lyrics come out lmfao 😭😭
Early years bangtan were maddd Suga mentioned in his recent interview « iu’s palette » how he had a lot of anger and resentment at that time but know he is much more calmer and happier I also recommend you watch road to D-day interviews he talks about his discography and interesting things
As most ARMY know Suga has suffered for many years with depression, anxiety and compulsion. After his panic attack had canceled the concert in Kobe, that he was refering to in his song The Last, Suga went back to the venue when it was empty to reflect, he then had a short break , and wrote a long letter for ARMY (translation below) ... Hello, this is Suga. Many people were curious as to what I was doing on my break, and to simply put it, I walked a lot, slept a lot and thought a lot. I wanted to go on a trip to organize my thoughts before working on my mixtape. I also had a place I must go to. I wanted to do things I was able to do not as a 22-year old BTS’ Suga, but as a 22-year old Min Yoongi. It was a time where I looked back at myself. The things I will say now are things I wanted to share not as a singer to a fan or as BTS to ARMY, but to talk to you as human to human. I've always wanted to be a cool person to a lot of people. Having rational thoughts and making rational decisions in any situations. I wanted to live like my father. My father said to take a look around you when there's something to be happy about. Be calm and make rational decisions when happy. The first day when "I need u" got 1st place, I took a look at my surroundings. Every minute I'm happy, I acted as if I'm not. When I'm sad I acted as if I'm not. Even if I like it, I acted as if I don't like it. I pretended to be cold-hearted and pretended to be strong. If a joy is shared, it will be doubled but if a sadness is shared, it won't get smaller. That's what I thought. I know I'm a person who's bad at expressing my emotions but I've been living that way and I thought it's right. One day, I can't exactly remember when, I was in a car with my father and he said "Yoongi, don't live like me". The first day of vacation. The first day ever since I was born, I drank with my family. It has been 6 years since I left home. We were all just chatting, listening to stories that we haven't heard of. The strong and cool father that I know, knows how to feel hurt and sad, how to feel happy and love.. 1.5-pyeong in the practice room, my studio is my wide meadows and narrow prison. I can do anything and at the same time, I can't really do anything. I can work on music thoughtlessly for 20 hours, but I can also sit there and not do anything but just thinking for 20 hours. I was 11 years old when I first started writing my own lyrics. When I listen to good music, I will feel really excited and I feel really happy more than anything. To me, music is my hope and my happiness, I also want to be someone's hope and happiness. Actually I'm someone who would just walk away rather to crash and feel pain. Anyone hates being hurt and I don't want to get hurt. In "Nevermind", "If you feel like you a going to crash then accelerate more". Perharps, that's actually what I wanted to say to myself. The most upsetting time for me when I face a large number of people, is when I face myself who isn’t able to be fair to everyone. I didn’t want to hurt anyone, but there are times I couldn’t do that. I think I’m still a person that lacks in many things. The second day of the concert in Kobe... I don’t think I’ve ever slept deeply after that day. Could it be because of the fact that I gave a wound to many people? Whenever I fell asleep, I would wake up with cold sweat. Because I already once have not been able to go on stage before and have hurt many people, I said that I’ll go up (to perform) no matter what situation arises. Everyone tried to stop me. I really cried a ton at the situation of not being able to go up on stage. And I know crying is losing. It’s really easy for me to cope with my own sorrow, but witnessing those who love me in sadness is very hard. I made them sad, once again. If I could go back to that day, I would go on stage no matter what. So there was just one place to go. I went to Kobe during my break. Many people tried to stop me from going, but I didn’t want to be ashamed of myself any longer. So I just went to Kobe without planning. It was my second time visiting the concert venue after a concert. The first was Ax Hall at late night after finishing the first Red Bullet concert. The second time was the Kobe World Memorial Hall, at where I failed to perform. I hate becoming a numb person. I didn’t want to take the love and these glorious days for granted. I didn’t want to be a numb person. That’s why I visited the venues again on my own. (T/N: He’s saying he doesn’t want to take all the love he’s receiving as granted, he really wants to appreciate every single love he gets. He’s meaning numb in the way by how he wouldn’t be able to feel what the fans feel about him. He’s basically saying he wants to appreciate every love he gets from his fans) I liked being on stage, and I still do. When I was 15 and performed in front of 2 people I stood proudly and made eye contact with them during my performance. However after my debut I feel that I have not been righteous towards myself. I think it may be because I knew better than anyone that I wasn’t perfect. And then on the day of the first performance of HYYH on stage I made proud eye contact with the audience that I didn’t do in quite a while. But after the second day of the Kobe concert when I was unable to stand on stage, I didn’t have the courage to confidently confront the large number of people. So that’s why I visited Kobe, the concert hall again. I kept wandering around the area by the concert hall from the time I arrived there until the time our performance was due to begin that day. From the ticketing booth to the entrance and the concert hall - I wanted to feel the same emotions as you all from every nook and corner. I felt many emotions. Happiness, the excited nervousness felt while waiting for the performance, sadness, resentment, anger, regret, etc. I wanted to understand you all, and I do understand. So I’m sorry and apologetic, for I am not a perfect human being. I’m a person who is weak but acts strong. Once again I realized that I was a person who’s lacking. Although I’m not religious, I prayed at that place. After all, at the end, it was a fated day. Even if it’s ended, let’s not let this heart become numb. To me, who wanted to spend every moment alone, you all were taking up quite a large part (of my mind). Age and gender, nationality and religion, what language you use - all of that isn’t important. "Whether you're young or old, whether you have a hidden child, It doesn't matter", haven't I said this already. That day, we unexpectedly had a Music Bank broadcast and I boarded a plane and returned a day before planned. I returned after organizing my many thoughts. Once again, while feeling that I’m a blessed person, I felt that I need to be a person who lives every moment feeling thankful. This is the moment I realizied the fact that 22-year old Min Yoongi, who hates being an adult, is standing in front of the threshold to being an adult. Thank you for making me a blessed person, ARMY. Although I’m never able to say this because I’m bad at expressing myself. Here I am conveying my feelings and thoughts once more through a piece of less-than-satisfactory writing. I will live while being thankful of every moment as I am such a lacking human being. I love you, ARMY.
This album... Hearing all of this again in order. 🥺 With So Far Away and knowing where he goes and that we ultimately get Amygdala and Snooze. 😭😭Yoongi's music just holds your heart hostage.
It's been a while since i listen to so far away & read the lyrics at the same time and i now realize why i didnt do that more often, the instant tears lmaoooo not even a minute into the song and im already sobbing😭😭
your bit about rock paper scissors is so funny loll. for explaination: hobi says "가위 (bawi), 바위 (gawi) , 보 (bo)". "bawi" means rock, "gawi" means scissors and "bo" means paper. so he's just saying "rock, scissors, paper!"
lol sorry for so many comments lol...If interested here is a list of songs Suga has produced outsides of his mixtapes or featured on: -Wine by Suran (produced by Suga) (he got he first producing award) -Eight by IU (ft. and produced by Suga) -Tomorrow by BTS -Autumn Leaves by BTS -Stay Alive by Jungkook (produced by Suga) -Song Request by LeeSoRa ft. Suga -Eternal Sunshine by Epik High (produced by Suga) (p.s. Tablo is in Epik High the same guy on All Day off of Indigo) -Boyz with Fun by BTS -Jump by BTS -First Love by Suga -My Universe by Coldplay and BTS remix (Coldplay asked him to do a remix and it is so good and, in my opinion, underrated) -Seesaw by Suga -Suga's Interlude by Halsey (ft. and produced by Suga) -That That by PSY (ft. and produced by Suga) (I recommend live performance where he surprises the crowd by showing up) -You by OMI (produced by Suga) -Outro: Her by BTS (underrated song in my opinion) -Intro: The Most Beautiful Moment in Life by Suga
i'm sure you've been told already but just in case, there's an alternate version of So Far Away that came out i think around a year after the original that has Jin and JK on it instead of Suran and the beat is changed to be kinda combined with the beat of First Love, Yoongi's solo from Wings (so listen to that first)
Three producers to look for in BTS' music: Pdogg, Suga and El Captxin. Honorable mentions go to Docskim and Slow Rabbit. Idk why i'm saying this, i just felt like it lmao
Hey Tribe Loui!!! Just recently found your channel and have been going through all your videos! I absolutely love your reactions! I love how you not only immerse yourself into the songs you're hearing, you also take time to process it and how it makes you feel. I love seeing you enjoy all these songs! It means the world you army that you are actually taking to time to listen and understand the boys! Since i haven't caught up on all your videos yet, I'm not sure if you've reacted to these yet, but i'd love it if you could react to the version of Tony Montana with Jimin and the version of So far away with JK and Jin, i'd love to see how you like those comaparitively! Thank you for always being honest and taking the time to really get to know the Boys that we, as ARMY have come to love and cherish! Can't wait to see more of your reactions of each member and then their group stuff! 💜 BORAHAE 💜 EDIT : HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA NEVER MIND!!!!!!!! I just watched the next video 😂😂 and you reacted to these 🤦🏼♀thank you for reacting to them!! 💜💜

I love your reactions! I'm first!
Why is that important?
😭😭😭😭😭 because you get pinned
@@haesoognzg ANd ofcourse, all of bts cover songs. RM and jungkook- Fools, I know. BTS- perfect man, rainism. N so many more to name!
@@tribeloui2023 You forgot Interlude Dream, track N° 9, please check it, it is important, it is the transition from all that anger to beautiful So Far Away, by the way "So Far Away" I have it tattoed with his handwriting xD
@@nadyvina FIRST LOVE too n that makes it worth more better wen jk songs it in so far away.
@@bangtanlicious8308Yep, but that's for another time, he is doing it step by step, hopwfully when he does SUGA's Interlde ft. Halsey he reacts to SUGA's Interlude Vlive, it gives us to much insight about his ways, practical thinking and work ethics.
Hobi is the Rythem - hes got the beats, the unique flows and intonations.
RM is the poet - hes got the metaphors and the technical skill.
Suga is pure passion- he FEELS and TELLS. He isnt going to wrap his message up in a metaphor. You dont dig for the meaning. He punches you in the throat with it and then hands you some warm tea and a hug.
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
what about hobi?
@@streamandvotehoseok hobi was the first one I mentioned 💜
got nothing to say about hobi's writing?
@@sakuraschae if you got something to add how about adding it instead of digging for flaws in an otherwise loving comment. I didnt mention hobis writing because this is a yoongi video. I only mentioned 2-3 things that to ME are the most impressive things about each rapline member and comparing how it's different to eachother. I was attempting to be brief.
i think people were telling you you weren't ready cause namjoon's lyrics got you on your thoughts and feelings a little bit (or that's what i got from your reactions) but namjoon's stuff is "sugar coated" in a way, cause it's so poetic. yoongi on the other hand just writes things as they are, his storytelling is raw and direct and the fact that it's so relatable too just hits hard somewhere different from where joon's lyrics hit, you feel me?
I feel you 💜
This was really well spoken too!
Nah that’s actually facts tho 😭 wow that was written very well
The Last...
Yoongi, this man is able to use his personal pain and print it in a song that makes people who have gone through similar experiences feel understood. For me and for many people, this song hits right in the heart.
You know whats even crazier? I myself have never gone through any kind of experience like that, but I still feel the pain as if it was mine. The Last is one of my favorite songs till this day and every time I hear it his rap conveys the feeling as if I was living it myself. He is that kind of producer...
@@nickynb8086 oh absolutely! few people can understand the pain and the pressure of fame as he describes it in his lyrics but still, it’s possible to connect emotionally with his music and adapt it to our personal experiences
@@paula_qagree
Agust D is angry. He's the one who expressed anger, hurt, and struggles. now that D-Day promotions are starting, yoongi's been talking about his past projects too and he said that Agust D, as well as D2, are full of anger. And it's so beautiful to see how with himself, his music (i think starting from D-2?) also becomes lighter and calm and genuine. And he even said that he's happy and mentally stable now 🥺
edit: never meant to say that agust d's music wasnt genuine
his music was always genuine that's the point of Agust d ffs
@@blueturtle1813 oh yes! the anger and everything he expressed as agustd is genuine. i didn't mean to say that it's not. i actually think it's the rawest and most unfiltered, therefore it's so genuine. im sorry i never meant to say agust d is not genuine hehe. :)
@@aubreymojares8779 It's been a long way for him, but he's definitely more at peace now. I'm hoping Armys who are struggling with their mental health (or just health in general) will feel okay too. I really love you, fam.💖💜
So Far Away is one of my favorite songs ever. I want to add that that line you loved, the chorus where he repeats "may your end be prosperous" etc? He deliberately uses an extremely formal style of Korean that is not used in everyday conversation, but rather used by monks in Buddhist monasteries, etc. Basically, the chorus sounds religious, like he's praying for you and me and all of us. It gives me chills
Suga said a lot of this mixtape was made when he was in highschool, he's definitely grown and changed so much from that time, but it's a body of work that stands the test of time
Fun fact! Halsey discovered BTS through this mixtape! She loved the lyrics and fell in love, became a fan of BTS's work. They met the next year (2017) at the BBMAs, where Halsey was one of the few people who didn't treat them like exotic puppets....Halsey and BTS now call each other friends. Suga and Halsey in particular are really good friends it seems, he went to see her firstborn baby, he even teased her for not responding to his text messages on an interview two days ago.
To be honest, So far Away for me had become an all time fight & comfort song
This is wild to learn bc I’ve always ALWAYS thought the chorus of so far away FELT like a prayer for some ambiguous reason and I felt a little crazy for that feeling so it’s… wild to see it validated in this way
💜
Damn
It’s amazing what just… what messages can be conveyed just with *sound* y’know?
And yeah- it *feels* like Yoongi’s praying for me, just willing the uinverse to be kinder, to do well by me
Me, you, all of us 🙏
6:10 not sure if anyone mentioned this but the crushed shoulder thing,, yoongi was in a car accident in 2012 where he got hit by a car as he was on his delivery shift. He ended up debuting with an injured shoulder and ended up enduring lots of pain and complications. But he got surgery to fix it in late 2020 (i think it was around November if my memory is not tripping), so if you see tannies carrying around a photo cut out of yoongi or anything else to represent him (like a snowman in one of the award shows) it was because he was recuperating from that surgery!
love your reactions btw!!! and just an fyi there's a tony montana live performance with jimin and a so far away one with jungkook and jin if you wanna ever take a look!!
I love that there were locals that thought Yoongi died when they saw BTS with photos of him everywhere like a shrine 😭😭😭
@@kizzyharris3727 NO CUZ THAT WAS SO FUNNY I WAS LIKE BESTIES HE IS OKI 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Just randomly stumbled into this mixtape in 2017while hiding out and sobbing on the bathroom floor of my college. Was trying to make it through life with 20 years of undiagnosed adhd, severe social anxiety, and depression and it was not going well. Life was upside down and I had no hope but when Yoongi said "The time when I tried to sleep on a bathroom floor is now a memory to me uh it became a memory" I literally wasn't alone on the bathroom floor anymore. For the first time in my life felt like I wasn't alone and that I could overcome this. Wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Yoongi being vulnerable and open the way he is. This mixtape is what made me find and fall in love with BTS, and it'll always have a special place in my heart.
It's crazy how BTS, in this case Yoongi's, music finds you when you need it the most. This mixtape is timeless, because is human. Human emotions are not a fad, nor a trend, we all feel like this. This mixtape will keep finding people laying on their bathroom floors and make their life a bit better.
Thank you for your story. Glad you are here for this: Tribe, D-Day, and Suga’s world tour. 💜
💜
shit man, im 17 right now and literally have the same exact problems all diagnosed, i have no idea what im doing and have no interest in staying alive whatsoever. I found bts back in 2017 too and i wouldn't be alive here without them. Im just forever greatful for them and especially Yoongi, that man has my all heart.
@@iminlovewithyoongioof lmao I’m sorry my fat thumb pressed dislike on the comment. Anyway I’m almost 30 now and I’ll tell you it isn’t easy but it does get better! There is happiness to be found and people who will accept and love you dearly like you deserve. Keep doing your best.
The first time i heard The last, i cried man like i literally shred tears with rocking shoulders, there were so many incidents he talks about in that song, like his shoulder injury, the time he hid in the bathroom cuz he couldn't face the crowd damn, he even admitted to attempting suicide which even mentioning is a taboo in Korea.... I relate to this song so much like I too remember crying on the bathroom floor yoongi, thank you for making me not feel alone
Is nice to listen to this knowing it all gets better. Everytime I see him smile or content i feel so happy
The thing about Yoongi, Suga aka our AGUST D is that he is direct and raw. He tell you his everything and make you feel like you are not alone. His works always talks around dream which is beautiful. If he is talking shit, he will call you out directly and if he is talking about pain and human emotions, he will tell you directly too. Which is why I love and resonate with him a lot
Isn't it funny to think that this is the guy from all of those Run BTS episodes?
So far away, is so special to me, I remember back then in 2018 sitting in front of my pc, scared, lost and crying bc I didn't know what to do with my life, every person that I knew was going to collegue, having a job or making a family, and I was in the same place, without a dream or a passion, this song helped me so much just bc yoongi was telling me that I was not alone. This song really speak to me back then and now, I still don't know what I'm doing, I'm studying a career that I like but I don't love, and I learn that it's fine, maybe I don't have this burning passion that a lot of people have, but I'm okay, I just need to focus on the present and enjoy the moment, maybe one day I will find something that I truly love but in the mean time, I will try my best to be happy with my life and with myself
I feel this. Bts' song paradise was another song that spoke to me on a similar level. I really appreciated them telling me that not everyone has a burning passion and just living life with happiness is enough. I like their emphasis of going through life at your own individual pace.
I feel you! I remember hearing Whalien 52, at the time when I was not alone, surrounded by many people but I was lonely even in a room full of people. I felt as if none could hear my voice. Glad that I am in a better place now. There’s just something in Bangtan’s music. It resonates with you, it heals you!
@@blossom7195 oh yes, paradise is amazing, I apreciatte their lyrics so much🥺🥺🥺
@@mahai.a6384 It really does, since I discovered bts I'm really more happier than before
My heart hurts for yoongi when I hear this album start to finish…all the pain the anger the sadness under the facade he built…the vulnerability rapping his entire life story into the songs…to end it with such a beautiful song like so far away makes me cry
He said he wanted a persona to let out his anger and feelings that he couldn't do as an idol, that's how AGUST D was born.
Behind all that anger, confrontation and venting,you can hear him screaming for help, suffering,scared to be alone,I know how that feels.
And as always ,I cried again listening to "The last",he is so relatable and that's so comforting,like he's saying,"I made it through so you can too,just don't give up" 😭😭
I love him so much 💜💜
Wow wow Goosebumps goosebumps, I got Goosebumps reading your comments😣
See, just reading the lyrics I would’ve cried if it was to some sad sounding instrumental cuz I can relate so much to him but I can’t cry when the beat goes so hard bro! Lol
Like I wanna cry but I’m too busy headbanging to the song, feeling his emotions through his voice. 😅
@@jiminsjams1013 you can do both,Army’s are known for multitasking for a reason 😂
@@saraholadiran7005 me too 💜💜💜
22:44 can’t express how excited I am for Suga week. Like Namjoon, you’ll get to hear how angry he was during the first mixtape era and how he develops and progresses as a musician and person over time
Talking about personal things like anxiety and depression wasn't really a thing when agust d released, especially not in korea. Yoongi expressing his feelings like that (in a artistic way even) is already very brave but this puts things into perspective. He deserves all the respect and praise.
I was so excited for Sua week. Tony Montana - The Live with Jimin Is AWESOME!- A Must See.! I promise you'll love it.
I never liked RAP before BTS, but the RAP Line are each so incredible, talented, unique, innovative, their individual and joint messages have made me appreciate RAP. 💜
Same with me
Same
Same. İ always avoided hiphop in general but BTS showed me how awesome it actually is.
Same❤
Same here.💜
Absolutely loved your reaction!
Also, there's a live performance of Tony Montana ft. Jimin, you're gonna love it and a little different version of So Far Away with Jungkook and Jin.
I absolutely adore So Far Away, this is my most favourite Suga song, I relateto this song so much....The lyrics hit different😭💜
There is also two versions of so far away
One is featuring Jin and JK and the last is just the entire vocal line without suga rap an interlude if you will
This mixtape is everything. So far away and The Last especially spoke to me when I needed it a lot. I literally started crying. This mixtape has special place in my heart !! I will hold it near me forever.
This mixtape is one of the (many) reasons I admire Yoongi SO MUCH. This mixtape was full of anger and fire at the people who tried to tear him down, but at the same time... it's full of vulnerability and grace. That all of these sides of him are on *one* album is just... mind-blowing.
He talks about things like social anxiety and depression that NO ONE spoke of in those days, and he straight-out tells ARMY that if talking about his pain helps even one person get through their own struggles, it was all worth it.
The hip-hop underground crowd dared to question his manhood for wearing makeup on stage, which is total BS. This? THIS is being a man. THIS is what real courage and strength look like. THIS is standing up for yourself and your loved ones.
THIS MIXTAPE IS SO INTIMATE AND SINCERE. CRAZY HOW TALENTED THESE BOYS ARE!!! ESPECIALLY MY BIAS HAHA 😹
I don't think anyone can fully grasp the magnitude of Yoongi releasing his very first mixtape during one of the most turbulent and painful years of BTS history (2015- 2016). Yoongi has been going through so much since his teenage years. I don't even know the kind of courage it takes to show people one's pain. He does not mince words and is not ambiguous with his lyrics. The imagery from his words cuts like a knife. I find myself flinching, holding my breath and silently tears fall every time I listen to his 2 mixtapes. I am just thankful that he found the strength and determination to live and realize his dreams are equally important; that he is not a 'monster' because he has big dreams and that even though he felt that his family and friends were drifting farther away that he is loved and worthy of love. I truly hope that he now knows who the people are who genuinely loves/ cares about him, supports him, has his back in difficult times. In his recent interview with IU, he said he has let go of the anger and negativity and is now at peace. We might see it in his new album. I am very glad. Yoongi deserves so much love, happiness and peace.
I'm so happy you reacted to the Suran version of So Far Away because people tend to overlook it in favor of the J/JK version and Surans voice is so beautiful. That being said!!!! Now you should listen to the Jin/Jungkook version!
The Last always makes me feel so heavy hearted... im so glad hes now going through a much better period of his life, may he always be happy
I really like Agust D’s last lines in So Far Away. Feels like he’s giving us his blessings/well wishes. 🙏🏻
The thing is Yoongi is incredibly raw and brave. When it’s taboo to mention mental health in Korea he lays his out in The Last making others able to talk about it. He’s angry but humble and honest. He makes us feel seen but also comforted.
Also the last song with Suran is amazing and he won his first producer award in a song he later composed and produced for her “Wine”.
Did we skip the interlude on track 9 because his interludes are seriously good production wise.
Fell into rapline and took BTS seriously with Yoongi
He spoke on very personal things I endured and i got 1000% where he was coming from
And beyond his rap, his productions too just blew me away
To understand why he was also so angry you should slowly start the Rise Of Bangtan, BTS coming from a small broke label got so much discrimination and hate, their attitude and perseverance is otherworldly and deeply inspiring! Rags to riches is an understatement compared to where they started from and where they at now! No matter how successful they are today they know the hustle, like Yoongi said in 723148 when he got scouted by Big Hit he was training to debut, while being at school and having a part time delivery job where he crushed his shoulder in an accident! That's part of their story and why they remain extremely grounded in reality, Namjoon touched a bit on this too if you remember in his Suchwita episode
The intensity of his emotions always overwhelms me. Yoongi often mades me cry and then comforts me... 😺
So Far Away is that one song that I achingly feel with every word. it's like yoongi was speaking my soul on my behalf. I have felt exactly like that recently and i still feel it today. Not knowing what to do in life, so lost. People said going to university will sort ur life. It didn't for me. And now that I think I sort of have a dream, i'm so afraid i won't be able to taste it. I just want to disappear sometimes. I felt so isolated from everyone around me. People around me don't seem to get it. But yoongi does.
Agust D was angry at that time, and I am glad they had the platform to express these raw emotions…. Now for his latest album , it’s the calmer Agust D/Suga. For him to say that Suga and Agust D is Min Yoongi, is a sign that he is in a happier state of mind. and as a fan watching him recently ,yes he glowed .
If RM
Is the poet, yoongi is the raw exposed nerve emdimgs of passionate expression
Thks for running straight
Thru august d.. I’ve heard all the parts but never all together in one kind of terrifying flow…
Pls
Pls add Daechwita explained by a Korean by dkdktv when you react to D-2 without I think it’s impossible to appreciate its amazing depth of Daechwita
Thks tribe Louie, you do
Not
Disappoint 💜💜💜
The accident he talks about here 6:12 actually happened. He finally got an operation in 2020, but for years he pushed through pain, and kept on going, never giving up. Shows what a strong person he is, I truly admire him 🥹💜
oh man, if you liked his first mixtape this much, you're gonna ascend while listening to d-2. this one has genuinely some of my most favourite songs, not only from yoongi but from bts overall. he's so good
the way yoongi is able to talk about his struggles with poverty, mental health, and just the society that surrounds him, all of this while being an incredibly great rapper, producer and songwriter is just… this is what an artist is. he IS the definition of a well-rounded artist.
he breathes and eats music, and you can always tell by listening to his craft.
and wait till you get to d-2 and see how even the tiniest details of his music video for that album are meticulously planned, leaving you with art in its purest form.
…in case you can’t tell i’m so excited for yoongi week aaaaaaa
The raw pain in the Agust D works always hits me in the stomach. It’s no holds bar, no cushion, no gentleness, only the real deal. He did versions of Tony Montana and So Far Away with his other BTS members - they are fantastic and would be fun for Suga week!
The beep was him telling is therapist he tried to commit s*****. His albums are like a personal diary, no sugar coating, no hard metaphor just him taking obout life which makes him soo relatable in a sense.
The last is one of those songs I think takes huge guts to make public and him doing it makes me seriously appreciative towards him and his music.
Also So Far Away is gotta be one of my all time favs. When I was going thru a really tough time at 17 trying to figure out what to do in life that song helped me. Unlike my peers who all had plans for the future, I didn't have a dream, I didn't know what to do...Yoongi's words in that song comforted me so much dude. That song understood me like no one could, it was everything I was feeling that moment. Not only did it provide validation but also comfort.
i get it......his music struck you and make you have new found realizations that never thought before, and it's so honest and raw and has so much pain, you need time to organize it.
Love your reactions! Glad you made it to Yoongi- you've got a lot more to discover and his new album D-dat drops the 21st!!! So exciting!!! 💜🎵💜🎵💜
Isn't it interesting that every member of BTS is a legend? Every one of them can stand solo in the industry and be at the top too. I've been enjoying your toe dipping into each of the guys' work as artists in their own right.
Min Yoongi, genius. The poetry is in the pain. He’s always going to give it to you straight. He’s unafraid of showing his struggles with depression and darkness. Also, the king of beats! Some of my fave BTS songs were written by him. He does a lot of outside producing work, too, using Prod Suga. Side note: JK and Jin sang the guide for so far away which was also beautiful.
Nah So Far Away will always be that song for me. When I first became army in 2019 this song I had on repeat, it really spoke to me as I was going through it and it really gave me comfort and motivation.
"The beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will the future be"
Your reactions and discovery of BTS have brought me so much joy! I can see that you really enjoy their music!
민윤기의 가사는 그자체다. 한이 담긴가사, 한이 뭔지도 모르는 다른나라사람들에게도 그 한을 느끼게하는 진정한 천재.
When listening to The Last, I always stop to listen, and it's heavy, real heavy. The lyrics behind it and everything he went through before all the fame, you really can feel the pain when he raps to the point that it feels like he's crying. I am so glad and beyond happy that Yoongi's now past all that, and he's healing. 🥹
Woah, we just diving into The Last like that, I feel like I've been pushed off into the deep end
Let's gooooo, excited for you to see the grandeur of Min PD, Min Suga, Agust D, see your thoughts and what you take away
Okay first of all, no one utilizes guitars like Suga. He always hits you with those electric guitars (or other tasteful guitars) and it always Hits, it's like his effing signature to me
I'll admit I only listen to Tony Montana featuring Jimin anymore...I like Jimin's verse more than Yankie's, tho Yankie's wasn't bad
And Suga's interviews yesterday reminded me that Suga can be a cocky mfer, but in a way that invites everyone to his confidence, yeah, a confidence that makes you feel good
His albums are smth else he won’t beat around bush , do metaphors like joon he just gonna tell you how he feel and if you relate you are not alone then. To me The Last and so far away is that song
he once said that he produced/writes like 200(?) songs a year cause he's makes 1 song per day, with some days as his rest day. so he have lots of songs stored somewhere in his computer.. there are songs he wants other members to sing or the whole group would sing, but other producers told him to store it for now or got rejected so he just kinda puts it on his mixtape 😅
He's said that he writes almost one song a day, not produce.
@@biru-kelabu-0821 I searched for the conversation between him and Namjoon, they use the word compose.. so he probably both produce and/or write 😅 thanks for informing me
I love coming together with ARMY and appreciating their music
Hi I'm one of your silent subscribers, I just wanted to say thank you for the time and involvement you take to learn about each BTS member. it's extremely appreciable and enjoyable to follow, thanks 🙂
I'm more excited for D-2. he's gonna lose his shit
I can't remember where I got this from...I think yoongi said he hated The Last for a long time but now he's ok with it. even if he still has his down moments (we don't know but fairly speaking everyone does) he has healed a lot judging by his recent interviews
Suga was asked what he feels about creating music that is so honest and raw about his pains and sufferings. Suga's answer: "it wasn't that difficult. Because we work on music a lot, we have many songs out there. So when we work on our individual projects, we always think about what to talk about. Now that we look back at those experiences, we feel thankful, because they enable us to tell various stories. And the things that used to be painful to recall. are not anymore, because releasing music also helps alleviate that emotion. For me it has been helpful. Many people are living with their traumatic memories, but i'm sure the moment will come when they overcome that. And i also think you need to go through the process where you organize these emotions. And for me, one of that process is releasing music"
there's also this piece from another interview:
“I think I’m happier now,” he confides. “I’ve realized that happiness doesn’t require much, and it can be quite simple. I used to think material things would give me happiness, and I worked hard to achieve them. But when I succeeded, I wasn’t so sure anymore. I don’t have many earthly desires anyway,” he says with a laugh. “Perhaps it’s because I now know that material things no longer give me great satisfaction. So now, I try to find happiness in simple things, such as getting up early in the morning and having decaf coffee. I’m glad I’ve finally got to experience this kind of joy. What I lost would be being ordinary. Your ordinary is my extraordinary, right? But I think time will solve this issue.”
The Last is from his first mixtape. You can see that he has changed a lot since then by this quote of him:
“My first mixtape was all about anger, but then everything was sorted out, right?” SUGA explains with a laugh. “I realized that I didn’t know who to be angry with anymore. Finally, I was able to look at myself. I’d been making a weapon out of anger and a sense of inferiority, but around 2018, my self-destructive rage slowly started to subside. I realized that I couldn’t channel creative energy through only those sorts of emotions any longer.”
and now a recommendation for future yoongi's music reaction is his song People from second mixtape
“‘People’ is my favorite song as well,” SUGA says. “Because it’s a record of four years of my life. I set aside most songs after they’re done, but I find myself relistening to ‘People’ all the time, and I experience different emotions each time I hear it. It’s a song I put on mostly when I’m feeling lonely and sentimental.”
Suga/Agust D began writing music lyrics and working with MIDI at age 11 and held a part-time job composing and arranging music at a recording studio at age 16. Active under the name "Gloss" (wordplay on his name YoonGi, which means "to shine") as an underground rapper, He originally entered Big Hit Entertainment as a producer at age 17 in 2010, but was convinced to become a part of a new group (he was told he wouldn't have to dance!! LOL) as a rapper alongside members J-Hope and RM before making his debut as a member of BTS in 2013. In the initial years of his career in BTS, both he and his fellow group member RM faced criticism from the South Korean underground hip hop scene for "selling out" and becoming K-pop idols.
Between his commitments as a member of BTS, Suga/Agust D took advantage of time on the plane and in hotel rooms after concerts to continuously produce and compose music. In an interview for Grazia Korea, Suga/Agust D expressed a desire to release the music he wanted to do without having to consider popular appeal or music ranking. He intended to release his music for free in the form of a mixtape to avoid such considerations, commenting that an album "has a feeling of being trapped in some sort of framework" due to the need for company involvement in promotion and advertising.
Developing Agust D musically on the base of hip hop, much of Agust D's inspiration for the lyrics came from his own stories of dream, youth, and reality. In order to differentiate his work from that of his work as Suga, he developed the alter ego "Agust D".
One part of the lyrics for Far Away is wrong in the lyric video you used. It should be “Don’t FALL away”. BTS used the phrase “don’t throw yourself away” in a couple other songs, one being Butterfly.
Someone get Loui a ticket to Agust D's concerts, he needs to see him live!
Where are my AGUSTD enthusiasts at? 🙋♀️🤝
If you cant tell I'm stoked as HELL for Suga week. Hes my inspiration. Hes not even my bias but hes still somehow the one who inspires me and motivates me and hits me in my soul in a way that no one else(even outside of BTS) does.
Hes an amazing human being who has been through the shits, and came out with wisdom. Hes not IQ148 Namjoon, but he has an understanding about how the world works and the people in it. That's why he and Namjoon work SO WELL off of eachother. Namjoon is always asking questions and trying to figure out the world. Yoongi instinctually understands a lot of it.
I hope you react to some of their collab songs like Respect and Strange
Also all of the yt lyric videos compress the audio to some extent so the mixing is the best on the official soundcloud tracks and other streaming sites. I highly recommend that for songs with no MV as you really get to feel everything in the mix so so so so much better. Anwyays loved the vid!! Excited for D-2 and his other collabs too :)
it looks like you missed one of the tracks! the second last track is Interlude: Dream, Reality and it's amazing and ties into So Far Away
There is a version of Tony Montana ft. JIMIN 👀
there's a version of so far away with the vocal line out there, and a live too, it's very beautiful i highly recommend it!!
I’m so excited for Suga’s week as his concert is coming up soon which i’m going!! 🤩💜
4:35 nah im tearing up on this one, bro is PREACHINGGGG
your editing is TOP TIER hahahahaha when u looked at ur self … cracked me tf up
I just hope you will deep dive into lyrics like Numjoon for suga. Cause The song "The last" is very personal to him. It literally say about his dippression and thoughts he had about you know -Su*cide and now how he came over that, also his shoulder injury which he had because of accident when he had part-time job delivery back in trainee days, and still went on without treating it until 2020... So every single lyric hold deep story behind it for Suga. you can see mostly all anger he had in Agust D & D-2 albums. He talked about it on recent interview with Disney. But for D-Day he will show different side of him.
The Last and So Far Away..... they are 2 of the most emotional of his songs for me..... I don't cry easily but both have brought me to tears on multiple occasions for both his pain and mine. And his blessings in so far away??? They give you a peek at the man he is - paying it forward because nobody did that for him.
Thanks for the reactions Tribe Loui!!! Do enjoy the diversity of our dear lil cat rapper 💜
Context behind why Yoongi rapped these lyrics during Agust D mixtape:
BTS were denied as an idol by people who loved idols
BTS were rebuked as an idol by people who loved musicians
BTS were dragged for things they hadn't done --- to the point they always wondered why do so many people hate them (especially in 2016)
Yoongi (along with RM) was looked down upon and accused by other underground K-hip hop rappers who accused them of 'not being hip hop enough or selling out or not conforming to toxic masculinity standards'
On a personal level, Yoongi was told he wouldn't make it by pursuing music by people around him (thankfully his elder brother believed in him), and he did struggle alot to get to where he is. He also struggled with social anxiety, depression and other issues (injured his shoulder from doing deliveries as part time job...an ache n pain he put up with for years until he recently went for surgery to fix) -- somehow he always struggled with personal relationships too.
ironically bcuz BTS is different, walked the unchartered path, is both idol + musician & defined a unique category of their own is precisely why they attracted so many fans worldwide -- BTS' music from the start was heavily influenced by hip hop and other genres too -- and their lyrics were about substance that no other groups (pop / even other genres) talked about.
From the start, BTS had to survive in a 'do or die' mindset so their level of performance was NEXT LEVEL, which threatened many other groups. Hence they received a lot of hate and prejudice from fandoms of other groups.
Yoongi talks about this in his latest short interview here, a MUST-WATCH in ur reaction: th-cam.com/video/BQMtAKV2tAY/w-d-xo.html
Ayy great start! Excited to go down this road with you. No matter how many times I hear The Last and So far away, still hits me as strong as the first time but now with even more appreciation! This album, much like RM's first mixtape, is a chaotic mix, rough around the edges but with an unfiltered unique core that shines through. Agust D is sorrow, anxiety, anger, resentment and just pure inner turmoil channeled into the music. No rose-tinted lenses, no sugarcoating, just straight up in your face. His raw, unadulterated passion just speaks to your soul!
Jhope's flow is immaculate, top tier and Joon's cadence with his poetry and metaphors is powerful and beautiful but Suga's vulnerability and raw emotional lyricism just speaks to me differently.
The way he started out this album, flexing his skills and status while dissing all those who said he'd never succeed (unleashing the pent up frustration within), then going down a memory lane explaining how he got to said status (the struggles that justifies the verbal thrashing he gave out earlier), then ruminating on how said success is slowly poisoning him and making him lose himself (being completely vulnerable and open about even the unpleasant bits of himself) and then ending it on the most emotional of tracks urging you to keep going just as he has. Its..just really amazing.
May your trials end in full bloom as well Jonathan!
so far away also has a version with jin and jungkook if u wanna listen to that one too! it's slightly different from the original and references his solo song 'first love' from the bts album wings
your moving skyline reminds me of Suga's live performance of Seesaw - can't wait for you to check that out!
I don't comment often, especially on reaction videos. But i like your reaction, it's genuine
Yoongi and so far away made me army he brought me into bts the song is my friend and I want the songs words to get engraved on my death stone
**the last starts playing**
*armys all over the world:* 😨😞😢😭
*meanwhile tribe loui:* 🕺🏾💃🏾
😭😭😭😭 it just sounded soo good
@@tribeloui2023 bts always do this they write the deepest and most depressing lyrics on the sickest beats armys would be shaking their ass to new music and then get flabbergasted when lyrics come out lmfao 😭😭
Nevermind and Tomorrow are 2 of my favorite songs by him
the last and far away are one of my favourite tracks from yoongi ever
"The Last" always makes me emotional
I always cry at the last
Early years bangtan were maddd
Suga mentioned in his recent interview « iu’s palette » how he had a lot of anger and resentment at that time but know he is much more calmer and happier
I also recommend you watch road to D-day interviews he talks about his discography and interesting things
As most ARMY know Suga has suffered for many years with depression, anxiety and compulsion. After his panic attack had canceled the concert in Kobe, that he was refering to in his song The Last, Suga went back to the venue when it was empty to reflect, he then had a short break , and wrote a long letter for ARMY (translation below) ...
Hello, this is Suga. Many people were curious as to what I was doing on my break, and to simply put it, I walked a lot, slept a lot and thought a lot. I wanted to go on a trip to organize my thoughts before working on my mixtape. I also had a place I must go to. I wanted to do things I was able to do not as a 22-year old BTS’ Suga, but as a 22-year old Min Yoongi. It was a time where I looked back at myself. The things I will say now are things I wanted to share not as a singer to a fan or as BTS to ARMY, but to talk to you as human to human.
I've always wanted to be a cool person to a lot of people. Having rational thoughts and making rational decisions in any situations. I wanted to live like my father. My father said to take a look around you when there's something to be happy about. Be calm and make rational decisions when happy. The first day when "I need u" got 1st place, I took a look at my surroundings. Every minute I'm happy, I acted as if I'm not. When I'm sad I acted as if I'm not. Even if I like it, I acted as if I don't like it. I pretended to be cold-hearted and pretended to be strong. If a joy is shared, it will be doubled but if a sadness is shared, it won't get smaller. That's what I thought. I know I'm a person who's bad at expressing my emotions but I've been living that way and I thought it's right.
One day, I can't exactly remember when, I was in a car with my father and he said "Yoongi, don't live like me". The first day of vacation. The first day ever since I was born, I drank with my family. It has been 6 years since I left home. We were all just chatting, listening to stories that we haven't heard of. The strong and cool father that I know, knows how to feel hurt and sad, how to feel happy and love..
1.5-pyeong in the practice room, my studio is my wide meadows and narrow prison. I can do anything and at the same time, I can't really do anything. I can work on music thoughtlessly for 20 hours, but I can also sit there and not do anything but just thinking for 20 hours. I was 11 years old when I first started writing my own lyrics. When I listen to good music, I will feel really excited and I feel really happy more than anything.
To me, music is my hope and my happiness, I also want to be someone's hope and happiness. Actually I'm someone who would just walk away rather to crash and feel pain. Anyone hates being hurt and I don't want to get hurt. In "Nevermind", "If you feel like you a going to crash then accelerate more". Perharps, that's actually what I wanted to say to myself. The most upsetting time for me when I face a large number of people, is when I face myself who isn’t able to be fair to everyone. I didn’t want to hurt anyone, but there are times I couldn’t do that. I think I’m still a person that lacks in many things.
The second day of the concert in Kobe... I don’t think I’ve ever slept deeply after that day. Could it be because of the fact that I gave a wound to many people? Whenever I fell asleep, I would wake up with cold sweat. Because I already once have not been able to go on stage before and have hurt many people, I said that I’ll go up (to perform) no matter what situation arises. Everyone tried to stop me. I really cried a ton at the situation of not being able to go up on stage. And I know crying is losing. It’s really easy for me to cope with my own sorrow, but witnessing those who love me in sadness is very hard. I made them sad, once again. If I could go back to that day, I would go on stage no matter what. So there was just one place to go.
I went to Kobe during my break. Many people tried to stop me from going, but I didn’t want to be ashamed of myself any longer. So I just went to Kobe without planning. It was my second time visiting the concert venue after a concert. The first was Ax Hall at late night after finishing the first Red Bullet concert. The second time was the Kobe World Memorial Hall, at where I failed to perform. I hate becoming a numb person. I didn’t want to take the love and these glorious days for granted. I didn’t want to be a numb person. That’s why I visited the venues again on my own.
(T/N: He’s saying he doesn’t want to take all the love he’s receiving as granted, he really wants to appreciate every single love he gets. He’s meaning numb in the way by how he wouldn’t be able to feel what the fans feel about him. He’s basically saying he wants to appreciate every love he gets from his fans)
I liked being on stage, and I still do. When I was 15 and performed in front of 2 people I stood proudly and made eye contact with them during my performance. However after my debut I feel that I have not been righteous towards myself. I think it may be because I knew better than anyone that I wasn’t perfect. And then on the day of the first performance of HYYH on stage I made proud eye contact with the audience that I didn’t do in quite a while. But after the second day of the Kobe concert when I was unable to stand on stage, I didn’t have the courage to confidently confront the large number of people. So that’s why I visited Kobe, the concert hall again.
I kept wandering around the area by the concert hall from the time I arrived there until the time our performance was due to begin that day. From the ticketing booth to the entrance and the concert hall - I wanted to feel the same emotions as you all from every nook and corner. I felt many emotions. Happiness, the excited nervousness felt while waiting for the performance, sadness, resentment, anger, regret, etc. I wanted to understand you all, and I do understand. So I’m sorry and apologetic, for I am not a perfect human being. I’m a person who is weak but acts strong.
Once again I realized that I was a person who’s lacking. Although I’m not religious, I prayed at that place. After all, at the end, it was a fated day. Even if it’s ended, let’s not let this heart become numb. To me, who wanted to spend every moment alone, you all were taking up quite a large part (of my mind). Age and gender, nationality and religion, what language you use - all of that isn’t important. "Whether you're young or old, whether you have a hidden child, It doesn't matter", haven't I said this already. That day, we unexpectedly had a Music Bank broadcast and I boarded a plane and returned a day before planned. I returned after organizing my many thoughts.
Once again, while feeling that I’m a blessed person, I felt that I need to be a person who lives every moment feeling thankful. This is the moment I realizied the fact that 22-year old Min Yoongi, who hates being an adult, is standing in front of the threshold to being an adult. Thank you for making me a blessed person, ARMY. Although I’m never able to say this because I’m bad at expressing myself. Here I am conveying my feelings and thoughts once more through a piece of less-than-satisfactory writing. I will live while being thankful of every moment as I am such a lacking human being.
I love you, ARMY.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing this. It's amazing...
Today, Suga invited AgustD to be a guest on Suchwita!
This album... Hearing all of this again in order. 🥺 With So Far Away and knowing where he goes and that we ultimately get Amygdala and Snooze. 😭😭Yoongi's music just holds your heart hostage.
It's been a while since i listen to so far away & read the lyrics at the same time and i now realize why i didnt do that more often, the instant tears lmaoooo not even a minute into the song and im already sobbing😭😭
We loveeee it when the video is long!!!
your bit about rock paper scissors is so funny loll.
for explaination: hobi says "가위 (bawi), 바위 (gawi) , 보 (bo)". "bawi" means rock, "gawi" means scissors and "bo" means paper. so he's just saying "rock, scissors, paper!"
YOU LSTENED TO THE LAST FIRST AND THAT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME
0:07 not you feeling the need to coming clean abt picking your nose YOURE SO REAL 😭😭
SUGA is ARMYs' life coach. His voice is like home to most of us.
The last gives me goosebumps EVERY FCKIN TIME

Yoongi spits facts. While Joonie talks poetry and Hobi raps playfully, Yoongi drives a knife into your chest with his words.
I was vibing with you with the Tony Montana beat 😂
i'm sure you've been told already but just in case, there's an alternate version of So Far Away that came out i think around a year after the original that has Jin and JK on it instead of Suran and the beat is changed to be kinda combined with the beat of First Love, Yoongi's solo from Wings (so listen to that first)
02:00 the psychiatrist asked "have you ever tried killing yourself" :/
Hey dude the subject material of this was really difficult and I don't think anyone warned you. I hope you're doing alright.
Three producers to look for in BTS' music: Pdogg, Suga and El Captxin. Honorable mentions go to Docskim and Slow Rabbit. Idk why i'm saying this, i just felt like it lmao
Hey Tribe Loui!!! Just recently found your channel and have been going through all your videos! I absolutely love your reactions! I love how you not only immerse yourself into the songs you're hearing, you also take time to process it and how it makes you feel. I love seeing you enjoy all these songs! It means the world you army that you are actually taking to time to listen and understand the boys!
Since i haven't caught up on all your videos yet, I'm not sure if you've reacted to these yet, but i'd love it if you could react to the version of Tony Montana with Jimin and the version of So far away with JK and Jin, i'd love to see how you like those comaparitively!
Thank you for always being honest and taking the time to really get to know the Boys that we, as ARMY have come to love and cherish!
Can't wait to see more of your reactions of each member and then their group stuff! 💜 BORAHAE 💜
