I literally cried! They are just ahead of the time!! They have brilliant mind, unbelievable talent!! They truly are an artists that are born once in a centuries! Their reach and deep: world, imagination, extreme passion just is mind blowing! And I'm so glad that they are at their peak of career when I need them the most, when I'm on my journey of self-discovery.🙏🏻💜
I did love the fact that when they watched this mv, all of the BTS members were blown away by this (especially Jimin) - and they admitted that Armies were very good - even better than them - at figuring out what it all meant
Love all of it :-) I came across BTS only a few months ago and Bookish Theories was recommended to me by a BTS fan. Two BONUS' in a short time !!!! Life is full of surprises :-)
@@miriam_el i know bc i can recognize when italians speak english from miles away as i am italian myself... also she recently said italian words in her recent videos, one of which being "COME PRIMA" (which is that mysterious italian sentence on the mots:7 comeback map) and she pronounced it perfectly. Lastly, ofc i had to ask her in the comments if she was italian and she confirmed she is.
I recognized a lot of this on my second watch through of the PV and cried a lot. I saw myself in the lyrics because I was a designer for 5 years... made it to senior level and had a breakdown. The art controlled how I valued myself as a person. A customers or company’s critique became my self worth and I had to leave the profession for a break... and it’s heartbreaking because I still have a passion for it, but I still don’t have the strength to go back into the profession... I pray BTS makes it through better than I did, because art is the hardest love relationship ever...
Thank you for sharing this with us 💜 I’m sending love, I hope you find the strength you need to fall in love with your art again without making compromises with yourself! Fighting! 💪🏻
This is my take away/interpretation. My own personal opinion on the Black Swan. My take away from this when I saw the art film for the first time: A Black Swan. The choreography says it all. The second time I re-watched it: A person with a Shadow on the second floor of an abandoned building. After being on the second floor (persona) he fought off this shadow. Then realized he is alone (on top of the escalator) He internalizes then reunites with the shadow on the first floor by conquering it. (Going back to inner self) The first time I heard the song: Their voices are multilayered. As if they are United as one. The second time I heard the song: The rappers(suga,rm & JHope) are main singers representing the persona, shadow and ego. And the singers (Jin,v,jk & Jimin) are the voices inside of their head, echoing, harmonizing in the background as if pleading or telling them what to do. The first time I read the lyrics: It is the fear of being unable to touch music again when they've been making and performing it for the longest time. A dying flame. The second time I read the lyrics: It is about reigniting the flame. Doing what you can to control the size of your flame. PS: Thank you for your work as always Bookish Theories! 💜
Can i ask a curious qs. I dont find the meaning of the mini instrumental black swan performance performed by bts at the beginning of each black swan perf. In concerts. Everywhere they just explain this vid or the song itself but what does that instrumental perf. Mean?? Especially jin being lifted up at the end being the head of the swan...
The fact that bts teaches me far more things that I've ever learned in school. Not to mention how useful these things are. I've been discovering myself and loving myself through them. It's absloutly crazy, this is why I love them so ducking much💜
I saw some of the things you mentioned here when I watched the video, but I didn't understand how it related to the music. You helped me to understand and see the entirety of the concept. Thank you. 💜
I always thought I was smart and got the meanings of things. Then I found Bookish Theories and found I know nothing😭 Thank you for another excellent analysis💜
It's loosely what I thought, but of course you gave it more depth. I'm honestly not surprised anymore that the boys would make such masterpiece. This albums seems really really special and really artistic. I'm so so proud of them! 💜 As always thank you sooo much for everything! I really can't say that enough,
The only bts member credited for writing black swan is RM , none of them is credited for production. Bighit also has a huge role in making bts songs so good.
You are TOO GOOD. Honestly. In far less time than I could ever imagine you have revealed soo much. Keep going. You're amazing. And brilliant. Thank you.
Here is the quote that Black Swan is inspired by: A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.” Martha Graham
Now everything makes sense, thank you for the in-depth explanation. I really love your explanations on their mvs, lyrics or concepts. And it helps that your voice and accent is so melodic and relaxing, like someone's rubbing my back to comfort me. 💜😊
An excellent, in-depth analysis of the symbolism and concepts in lyrics, the choreography, and the joint narrative they combine to tell. Also a great understanding of both Martha Graham and Jungian ideas. As a professor who has taught symbolism analysis, including in Jung, as well as a dancer, (as well as a BTS fan since early 2016) I LOVE this video. Bravo!!!
Wow....just WOW...as always you do NOT disappoint!! I am so glad I came across your channel...your mind/thought process is just so thought provoking. I REALLY appreciate your intellect and how you connect everything to the past...and show how everything is connected. I know many of us have recommended your page as you explain concepts so well and you make it very easy to understand....thank you for that.
Also, a "black swan event" is something that is improbable, but has a profound effect. BTS is a black swan. Who would have thought that a kpop band would be the biggest musical act in the world.
Your point where you mention how the dancer who is cast as the Black Swan in the film lacks the technique the White Swan has but has the passion but the White Swan dancer has the technical skill reminds me of another Martha Graham quote ‘Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.’ Also Martha Graham’s technique itself connects to some of the concepts running through this era in particular. The style she developed is based on ‘the contraction and release’ that happens in the body when experiencing emotion, every emotion and feeling has a contraction and release, which reminds me of the ‘catharsis’ strand of their ideas you spoke about when discussing the London work ‘Catharsis’, there is a a sense of cleansing when you’ve completed a Graham class. Edit: also adding on, with Graham everything is motivated by the 'inner life', no matter how raw and ugly, what is authentic, the most human inner journey must be expressed
This was so good! I understand the song better! Thank you! You always do a wonderful job at explaining everything in detail. I look forward to more BTS Theories from you! 💜
Thank you for the detailed breakdown! I loved the film and am not too artsy. I thought MN Dance Company did an excellent job helping relay the message of the song and did so so beautifully. I think I like the film song version(over regular album version) with all the strings...its been stuck in my head! I wish more army would be more open-minded and try to at least see what BTS is trying to show us with this whole connect project. Seems like so many watched the film and immediately dismissed it etc. Same with the art exhibitions like "Rituals of Care". Not even trying to explore or trying to understand how it connects to BTS and their music and message.
My goodness so much of deep meaning to their songs.. Wow its just so awesome..their concepts combined well with one another. I have never seen such deep meaning in songs.. This is literally like poetry, its hard to analyse
Amazing of BTS to integrate all that into their music!! Brilliant as always! Thank you Bookish Theories for making this amazing well-put-together video! 💜💜💜
Oh wow, after watching the mv and listening to the lyrics over and over my thoughts were similar. But you put it into words and described it so well it made me cry. Thank you so much for this.
I just love the way u explain the things with so many references. It makes it so much easier to understand some very minute details. It shows ur dedication and efforts. Please continue with your good work. I always keep waiting for ur explanation whenever BTS drops anything... 💜
Thank you for every single video you’ve made to help us understand the depth of BTS’ message. It’s like I keep having epiphanies about myself when I first listen to and learn their songs and then I have another one altogether when I watch your videos, and this is so incredibly helpful. It takes the deep ideas BTS has been conveying for years and tells us what we can do with them, allowing us to finally figure out who we are and begin to accept and love ourselves. Sorry for such a long response. 😅 Your videos are amazing and you are completely brilliant! 💜
BTS create art through their music it is so amazing how they express themselves through music 🎶💜💜💜 and Black swan was wonderful and incredible to watch💜💜💜
You are soo soo clever. Or your team. You are amazing and I love watching your theories/analysis. Your video is structured so well and always opens my eyes. Love it lots
The possibility of failure is always there but the ability to overcome many obstacles in life is a skill that can be learned. 7 is one ! 7 makes BTS ! Behind their global success is a journey filled with so many doubts, hardships, and loneliness. They talk about it and they sing about it but I am glad that they are not giving up. Their dedication is incredible. Gosh, I love these guys.
I'm always waiting for your videos. Since this is the only channel that I can fully understand the theories. Please continue on making these kind of theories about BTS. For someone who's not really that good with this kind of stuff, your videos are really a huge help. Thank you so much for your hardwork.
Wow. Mind blowing. Thank youbfor lovely explanation. You are great. This is Beyond Grammy level performance I must say. This is what the western music industry scared of and dont recognise BTS as they should be.
Waited for this . Thank you so much for helping us to go deeper and totally understand what they are conveying. Thanks 😊 again for all of your hard work.
Some of what was going on in the video I understood on my own, but as I suspected, there was a lot I missed and that just didn't sink in. I was hoping Bookish Theories would do a video on it! And here it is. Thank you so much for your insight and explanations! Black Swan is so special, I am glad to be able to appreciate it in all it's detail now thanks to Bookish Theories.
i love how bts was inspired by tchaikovsky’s swan lake ballet & one of my favorite films Black Swan into their story. this has yet to be one my favorite comebacks ever from them.
Wooooow😳😳😳😳 this makes sooo much sense, I did understand some of the meaning of this song through the dance, but your theory made things very clear to understand what BTS is saying through this dance film😭😭😭
i'm literally crying. amazing video! thanks for the concise and thorough explanation. funny that i got a "natalie portman teaches acting" masterclass advertisement right before the video began LOL
I just want to tell you that i became a subscriber of your channel the first time i bumped into one of your video on dionysus and recommending your channel with bts reactors and other people out there because it is worthy to watch..i respect you so much
You are amazing. These things I had already thought of in some ways, but you really hit the nail on the head. I love it! I love that they present us with something wonderful and make us THINK. So thank you, Lovely, for this wonderful analysis. I look forward to more as we go deeper into this Comeback. 💜💜💜
This is a MASTERPIECE! ✨ Without your explanation I was clueless and now I'm crying with how deep this comeback will be. Excellent work explaining it! 👏👏👏
Thank you sooooo very much for literally putting my thoughts into words and this theory video you have made way better than I could ever have imagine..you see I couldn't express things I understood but you did it soooo good..cause if you or anyone checks I have mentioned in a comment about the "Black Swan" Movie in BTS's original MV more than 19 hours ago but obviously no one noticed and it's okay. But feels great someone agrees.. N sooo many agrees just by liking your video which you completely deserve cause you did an amazing job in interpreting and explaining these things. Great work 💜✌🏻
" *NO ONE DOES IT LIKE BTS* I don't know if others will agree or not but watching this I was also reminded of the movie Black Swan, 2010 it's a psychological horror film the main role played by Natalie Portman and even Mila Kunis is there.. One should watch it's a brilliant movie and to be honest this particular comeback of BTS is brilliant on another level and cause I have watched the movie as well I can only imagine little things cause BTS the way they think are beyond our imagination. Well done boys. And a big round of applause to the dancers as well. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜" This was my comment in the original mv n no one noticed I guess ☺☺.. Glad that I did make a valid connection for once one I wasn't the only one in thinking so.
Thank you for another absolutely wonderful video! The amount of effort you put in is really great and I love how you describe things so clearly but with so much depth.
Brilliant analysis, explanation and edit. I wish you would have more subscribers who could enjoy your work. And you also mentioned the ballet, not only the movie 👍
Ahhh i was waiting for you ! So quick, as usual ! Im so happy you talked about the shift that we’re witnessing in the ‘wings’ theme. It’s the first thing that came to my mind when i saw Black Swan - we’ve really come a long way from the ‘Fly up in the sky’/‘Spread my wings’ of the Wings era !
It’s scary to see this description of them all tho it’s amazing ART! I hate to think our BTS feels so confined, that we the world/fans are their CAGE, I know there’s good and bad, but truthfully I hope they never stop to share with us & continue to succeed in their career and LIFE, best wishes to those AMAZING 7!! 💜💜😍
First I thought this video wouldn’t make things clear for me. Since it’s hard for me to understand things that are deeply meaningful. But thank you so much!! I judged it at first but now I am so glad I watched your video. So much love 💜
Oh my God.! When i first saw the video i knew ir had a deep mesaage but i didnt imagined it was so deep... BTS You are the best and i will alwais support you couse i know you will alwais fight with your shadows to be better people!!
Well i just stoped this video to go watch the movie and then continued the video where it left off. Your explanation and their imagination is amazing and overwhelming. Its crazy how deep they think of everything.
OMG I am seriously glad that they are giving us time to digest all of this like woah i am speechless every single time I listen to this and its so real it doesnt get old like woah. and I think in BTS reaction to the mv they didn't really talk about it even though they might have so much to say because they want us to take it in and interpret it based on our own lives. and lena you are really one of those expert armys that jungkook was talking about damn
Thank you for this. I really love your theories. All I can say is BTS creativity is beyond this world. They really are great Artist and the YOUTH needs them
I was so amazed by the video! I go regularly to the Ballett and I already watched Swan Lake 2x My next Ballet is a new Interpretation of Swan lake. When I watched Black Swan I literally started crying. It’s so beautiful and BTS is now really on another level!
I saw something that said Black Swan was inspired by an anime called Perfect Blue, which is about an idol singer who wants to become an actress. She starts to spiral into madness and feels like she's losing her indenity. Good stuff.
Black Swan was the last thing to happen in phase 1 of the comeback, leading to the 2nd phase, which includes Ego. Now I think the first phase was all about the shadow, and the second one will revolv around the ego-concep, leading to the comeback teaser on the 3rd of february. What i belive is that Black Swan was some kind of link between these two concepts, the dancers representing both shadow and ego. Because this was released at the end of phase 1, maybe it will be somewhere in the middle of the tracklist, linking a shadow-y part of the album to an ego-y one? Idk if this makes sense, I somehow try to summarize and write down my thoughts in english....what do you all think?
Wowww im speechless.... Im happy and crying at the same time.... I'm not even know my feeling rite now.... My heart aches..... Tq fam for giving us such a beautiful explaination .. Tq My King for giving us such a beautiful art..... Luv u BANGTAN SONYEONDAN 💜💜💜💜💜
Since yesterday I waiting your explanation ... Finally you did it... Oh thank you so much BTS ..you didn't stop to amaze me ... Thank u for helping me go deeper understand the BTS concept ... Much love.. God bless
Wow this was fast xD. I love el much the depth of this video and I’m glad that I came to the same conclusion at the end that it’s a constant fly between the self and the shadows, till in the end the self goes down to the depths of the consciousness and achieves to control the shadows and use them to fly high. I wonder if in the next songs they’re show us how this is achieved, same as they show us how to love ourselves in LY era with epiphany and love myself answer. Also the part when it says that the artist dies once when they can no longer perform their art, I felt that. As an artist, I feel too as I am a tool for my art to bring a message and when I couldn’t do art, It was like suffocating, and I’ve thought a lot of times since I was younger that if one day I could no longer do art, it would be like death for me. Thus why I love this song so so much. Thank you for making these videos. It helps me so much to understand in more depth the messages in their music. Also idk if you’ll read this comment, but if you do, do you have any book recommendations related to the topic of Jung and the shadow?
Amazing explanation! Thank you Thank you Thank you. I knew this had a much deeper meaning and I knew you would have an explanation. They're incredible artist! 😍
I love this Black Swan concept. Swan Lake is an amazing ballet and a tragic story, it's one of my favorites from Tchaikovsky. I've noticed they've used classical music for most of their VCRs; I like that BTS enjoys all music, they are genuine artists/musicians. On the first watch, I just thought of Jimin and wondered how he would do choreography for this the song and watched the video again then I watched BTS reaction to the video and Namjoon mentions that he pictures "Jimin and the six black swans." lol They probably also have different versions of Black Swan. Also, on my first watch of the art film, I heard this really faint sound before the music started, there is wind but you can hear the start of the song too. I love how the music slowly, quietly eases in near the beginning after the eerie silence (@0:56 on the art film); like the music was just in the air then the violin starts suddenly. In a strange way, it's like the music was just in the main dancer's head. The song sounds amazing, I noticed that I couldn't really tell who was singing it sounded like Jungkook or Jimin at the beginning with the "Do your thang" parts, but I heard a lot of the rap-line too. The rap-line has prominent sound in the song. They all just harmonize so well. All of their voices just sound like one layer with 7 voices, it gives the song an eerie feeling. It's interesting, the sound of BTS Black Swan reminded me of some of txt's music/songs. Sometimes I can't tell who's singing in txt's songs. So exciting, I can't wait to hear the rest of the Map of the Soul 7 album.
10:41 I didn't realize that omg it makes the song so much better for me thank you. Again it speaks to how a small detail like that can add to its meanings

I literally cried! They are just ahead of the time!! They have brilliant mind, unbelievable talent!! They truly are an artists that are born once in a centuries! Their reach and deep: world, imagination, extreme passion just is mind blowing! And I'm so glad that they are at their peak of career when I need them the most, when I'm on my journey of self-discovery.🙏🏻💜
Ikr
Absolutely agree...it really is such a privilege to witness this journey of theirs...
M BLESSED be in the same era,but still m not able to go down,n deep to articulate my own self ,it's tough it's tough.
I did love the fact that when they watched this mv, all of the BTS members were blown away by this (especially Jimin) - and they admitted that Armies were very good - even better than them - at figuring out what it all meant
Diana Kalashnikova omg me too. I’m like speechless and at awe with the creative team behind BTS’s concepts - wow 😯
I can't decide what I love more, your accent, your editing style or the amount of depth you go to make us understand art
The accent is so unique yet clear for non english native speaker like me
Love all of it :-) I came across BTS only a few months ago and Bookish Theories was recommended to me by a BTS fan. Two BONUS' in a short time !!!!
Life is full of surprises :-)
She's italian btw😎😎😎
@@lucreziapaoli51 how do you know?
@@miriam_el i know bc i can recognize when italians speak english from miles away as i am italian myself... also she recently said italian words in her recent videos, one of which being "COME PRIMA" (which is that mysterious italian sentence on the mots:7 comeback map) and she pronounced it perfectly.
Lastly, ofc i had to ask her in the comments if she was italian and she confirmed she is.
I recognized a lot of this on my second watch through of the PV and cried a lot. I saw myself in the lyrics because I was a designer for 5 years... made it to senior level and had a breakdown. The art controlled how I valued myself as a person. A customers or company’s critique became my self worth and I had to leave the profession for a break... and it’s heartbreaking because I still have a passion for it, but I still don’t have the strength to go back into the profession... I pray BTS makes it through better than I did, because art is the hardest love relationship ever...
This is so touching and sad. I hope you find your own way to return to your art without pressure and being able to enjoy it.
I hope through your own journey you will find relief 🙏
Thank you for sharing this with us 💜 I’m sending love, I hope you find the strength you need to fall in love with your art again without making compromises with yourself! Fighting! 💪🏻
Best to you
your comment made me cry , i wish you all the happiness in the world and hope you make it through soon..
This is my take away/interpretation. My own personal opinion on the Black Swan.

The second time I read the lyrics:
It is about reigniting the flame. Doing what you can to control the size of your flame.
PS: Thank you for your work as always Bookish Theories! 💜
Whoa.... Thank you for explaining in that way
Wow, really creative 😃 thanks!
your comment needs a platinium RIAA

Everywhere they just explain this vid or the song itself but what does that instrumental perf. Mean?? Especially jin being lifted up at the end being the head of the swan...

@Estela Lopez yes yes pdnim really has given earth one of the most beautiful it could ever get. Thank you bighit for giving us bts

They didn't take part in the making of the art film, the dance company created it, I thought everyone was aware of that...
@@raccoonchild I meant the song. And yes it was done by the company. They did really really well bringing the song's emotions to life. 👏🏻👏🏻

your channel is seriously underrated ..you always make accurate videos with all the points perfectly covered
Agree, I don't get why this hasn't 100.000 views at least already...
The possibility of failure is always there but the ability to overcome many obstacles in life is a skill that can be learned.
7 is one ! 7 makes BTS !
Behind their global success is a journey filled with so many doubts, hardships, and loneliness. They talk about it and they sing about it but I am glad that they are not giving up. Their dedication is incredible.

WOW!! Just wow. I love your theories and explains.
i'm literally crying. amazing video! thanks for the concise and thorough explanation. funny that i got a "natalie portman teaches acting" masterclass advertisement right before the video began LOL
I just want to tell you that i became a subscriber of your channel the first time i bumped into one of your video on dionysus and recommending your channel with bts reactors and other people out there because it is worthy to watch..i respect you so much
I love how you can find the little details 💜
OH. MY. GOSH. thank you so much for taking the time and sharing with us. well done.
I'm so glad that I subscribed to your channel! Thank you so much for your work💜
I've been waiting for this!! Thank youuuu
It's a great explanation of this masterpiece, thank you, I purple you :)
You are amazing. These things I had already thought of in some ways, but you really hit the nail on the head. I love it! I love that they present us with something wonderful and make us THINK. So thank you, Lovely, for this wonderful analysis. I look forward to more as we go deeper into this Comeback. 💜💜💜
I was so waiting for this!!!!!!
😆👏🏻👏🏻 best explanation on youtube. It all make sense now
This is a MASTERPIECE! ✨
Without your explanation I was clueless and now I'm crying with how deep this comeback will be.
Excellent work explaining it! 👏👏👏
Always interesting! You spit nothing but the truth and pure facts. Well worth the wait.
I was so happy to wake up and have your video be the first one I saw!! Brilliant as always!! 💜
Ok this made me cry woow woww such a beautiful meaningful concept
And that's why they are kings. None can compete with them.
Yasssss bookish theories !! I was waiting for you to make a video about the art film 💗💗💗
Thank you sooooo very much for literally putting my thoughts into words and this theory video you have made way better than I could ever have imagine..you see I couldn't express things I understood but you did it soooo good..cause if you or anyone checks I have mentioned in a comment about the "Black Swan" Movie in BTS's original MV more than 19 hours ago but obviously no one noticed and it's okay. But feels great someone agrees.. N sooo many agrees just by liking your video which you completely deserve cause you did an amazing job in interpreting and explaining these things. Great work 💜✌🏻
" *NO ONE DOES IT LIKE BTS*
I don't know if others will agree or not but watching this I was also reminded of the movie Black Swan, 2010 it's a psychological horror film the main role played by Natalie Portman and even Mila Kunis is there.. One should watch it's a brilliant movie and to be honest this particular comeback of BTS is brilliant on another level and cause I have watched the movie as well I can only imagine little things cause BTS the way they think are beyond our imagination. Well done boys. And a big round of applause to the dancers as well. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜"
This was my comment in the original mv n no one noticed I guess ☺☺.. Glad that I did make a valid connection for once one I wasn't the only one in thinking so.
Thank you for another absolutely wonderful video! The amount of effort you put in is really great and I love how you describe things so clearly but with so much depth.
What makes me extra sad is that they have always called US their wings 🥺
Holy crap, I just stopped what I was doing so I can tell you how amazing you are! 💜
So utterly true! I had part of it, but you filled in the rest. I could feel the truth in the video. Thank you.
I wonder how you can analize it briefly and easy undertanding.
Thank you for your hard work
Brilliant analysis, explanation and edit. I wish you would have more subscribers who could enjoy your work. And you also mentioned the ballet, not only the movie 👍
im not crying,, just cutting onions 😭😭😭 thank you for such amazing explanation...
Perfect explination!I already guessed it's connection with 'Fake love' and got confirmation by watching this video.💜💜
Ahhh i was waiting for you ! So quick, as usual !
Im so happy you talked about the shift that we’re witnessing in the ‘wings’ theme. It’s the first thing that came to my mind when i saw Black Swan - we’ve really come a long way from the ‘Fly up in the sky’/‘Spread my wings’ of the Wings era !
I love your theories so much! 💜
It’s scary to see this description of them all tho it’s amazing ART! I hate to think our BTS feels so confined, that we the world/fans are their CAGE, I know there’s good and bad, but truthfully I hope they never stop to share with us & continue to succeed in their career and LIFE, best wishes to those AMAZING 7!! 💜💜😍
True
Thank you so much! This song and performance and the overall theme are so overwhelming!
First I thought this video wouldn’t make things clear for me. Since it’s hard for me to understand things that are deeply meaningful. But thank you so much!! I judged it at first but now I am so glad I watched your video. So much love 💜
Oh my God.! When i first saw the video i knew ir had a deep mesaage but i didnt imagined it was so deep... BTS You are the best and i will alwais support you couse i know you will alwais fight with your shadows to be better people!!
And as always you’re perfect too, thanks a million for your thorough explanation :* :*
Well i just stoped this video to go watch the movie and then continued the video where it left off. Your explanation and their imagination is amazing and overwhelming. Its crazy how deep they think of everything.
OOOOOoooh, I've been waiting for this!
So thankful for your analysis, I was waiting for you to do it!
Thank you. I've already subscribe to your channel. 💜
OMG I am seriously glad that they are giving us time to digest all of this like woah i am speechless every single time I listen to this and its so real it doesnt get old like woah. and I think in BTS reaction to the mv they didn't really talk about it even though they might have so much to say because they want us to take it in and interpret it based on our own lives. and lena you are really one of those expert armys that jungkook was talking about damn
omg, thank you sooo much, since I‘m watching ur theories I see the things more clear and it makes so much sense
Whoa... that was amazing... everything is clear now. Thank you!!
Thank you for this. I really love your theories. All I can say is BTS creativity is beyond this world. They really are great Artist and the YOUTH needs them
So beautiful...im crying..thank you
Really love all your videos and you for taking the time to make them💖💖💖 Thank you so much 🌹🌹
I was so amazed by the video!
I go regularly to the Ballett and I already watched Swan Lake 2x
My next Ballet is a new Interpretation of Swan lake.
When I watched Black Swan I literally started crying. It’s so beautiful and BTS is now really on another level!
I saw something that said Black Swan was inspired by an anime called Perfect Blue, which is about an idol singer who wants to become an actress.
She starts to spiral into madness and feels like she's losing her indenity.
Good stuff.
Is someone mentioning that anime masterpiece called "Perfect blue" in a video about BTS theories? It made my day! 🥳
Black Swan was the last thing to happen in phase 1 of the comeback, leading to the 2nd phase, which includes Ego. Now I think the first phase was all about the shadow, and the second one will revolv around the ego-concep, leading to the comeback teaser on the 3rd of february. What i belive is that Black Swan was some kind of link between these two concepts, the dancers representing both shadow and ego. Because this was released at the end of phase 1, maybe it will be somewhere in the middle of the tracklist, linking a shadow-y part of the album to an ego-y one?
Idk if this makes sense, I somehow try to summarize and write down my thoughts in english....what do you all think?
I say yes. I love to read others thought and opinions.
Liked and subscribed. Amazing content, thank you!
Wowww im speechless.... Im happy and crying at the same time.... I'm not even know my feeling rite now.... My heart aches..... Tq fam for giving us such a beautiful explaination .. Tq My King for giving us such a beautiful art..... Luv u BANGTAN SONYEONDAN 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for your theories they are awesome as always !!!
Wow you explained it amazingly... I look forward for your future videos...
She never fails to blow my mind
Since yesterday I waiting your explanation ... Finally you did it... Oh thank you so much
BTS ..you didn't stop to amaze me ...
Thank u for helping me go deeper understand the BTS concept ...
Much love.. God bless
Wow this was fast xD.
I love el much the depth of this video and I’m glad that I came to the same conclusion at the end that it’s a constant fly between the self and the shadows, till in the end the self goes down to the depths of the consciousness and achieves to control the shadows and use them to fly high. I wonder if in the next songs they’re show us how this is achieved, same as they show us how to love ourselves in LY era with epiphany and love myself answer.
Also the part when it says that the artist dies once when they can no longer perform their art, I felt that. As an artist, I feel too as I am a tool for my art to bring a message and when I couldn’t do art, It was like suffocating, and I’ve thought a lot of times since I was younger that if one day I could no longer do art, it would be like death for me. Thus why I love this song so so much.
Thank you for making these videos. It helps me so much to understand in more depth the messages in their music.
Also idk if you’ll read this comment, but if you do, do you have any book recommendations related to the topic of Jung and the shadow?
Amazing explanation! Thank you Thank you Thank you. I knew this had a much deeper meaning and I knew you would have an explanation. They're incredible artist! 😍
I always come here to help me understand the meaning behind these stuff
I love this Black Swan concept. Swan Lake is an amazing ballet and a tragic story, it's one of my favorites from Tchaikovsky. I've noticed they've used classical music for most of their VCRs; I like that BTS enjoys all music, they are genuine artists/musicians.
On the first watch, I just thought of Jimin and wondered how he would do choreography for this the song and watched the video again then I watched BTS reaction to the video and Namjoon mentions that he pictures "Jimin and the six black swans." lol They probably also have different versions of Black Swan.
Also, on my first watch of the art film, I heard this really faint sound before the music started, there is wind but you can hear the start of the song too. I love how the music slowly, quietly eases in near the beginning after the eerie silence (@0:56 on the art film); like the music was just in the air then the violin starts suddenly. In a strange way, it's like the music was just in the main dancer's head. The song sounds amazing, I noticed that I couldn't really tell who was singing it sounded like Jungkook or Jimin at the beginning with the "Do your thang" parts, but I heard a lot of the rap-line too. The rap-line has prominent sound in the song. They all just harmonize so well. All of their voices just sound like one layer with 7 voices, it gives the song an eerie feeling. It's interesting, the sound of BTS Black Swan reminded me of some of txt's music/songs. Sometimes I can't tell who's singing in txt's songs. So exciting, I can't wait to hear the rest of the Map of the Soul 7 album.
Was waiting for your explanation 😊
10:41 I didn't realize that omg it makes the song so much better for me thank you. Again it speaks to how a small detail like that can add to its meanings
I honestly....have no words!!! 🤯🤯🤯
