    These two are amongst my favorite b-sides from Dreamcatcher. Wonderland has such a strong R&B vibe and I love it. I love that July 7th has kind of a Caribbean vibe to it. Handong (the member that sings "I missed you so much") has such a unique voice and I really think this song suited her well. I loved that she got so many parts on this song. I think I recommended this song before but if you haven't checked out "And There Was No One Left" I think you'd really enjoy it. It's another awesome b-side with soft vocals and a nice but simple special clip. I think Dami's voice will surprise you in this one as well. Another good b-side is "Jazz Bar" the name is kind of self explanatory but in this song the group sings about the moment that you make eye contact with a singer at a Jazz Bar lol. Btw Dami's name is pronounced "DAH-me" Dreamcatcher really are underrated in Korea and they deserve a first win. They have such duality and range when it comes to their music. They literally have a song for all types of music listeners, no matter the genre. It's always nice to see new people get into Dreamcatcher and become Insomnias. It's been fun watching you on this Dreamcatcher journey and I hope to see more Dreamcatcher reactions from you soon (:
    Also if you're interested in getting to know more about Dreamcatcher, their history, and what they are like outside of performances there are guides that explain these things that are available on youtube. For example they originally were a 5 member group called Minx before they added 2 more members and re-debuted as Dreamcatcher. The guides do contain spoilers though if you haven't listened to much of their music. And they are a bit lengthy depending on which one you watch (of course the longer ones have more information) so it's understandable if you don't have the time to record a reaction to it, but it is a good watch and very informational if you want to learn more about them. Also I would also recommend watching the "This is" series by Insomniscy. It's a playlist of short videos that tell you a little about each member.

      A guide is coming up very soon cause I need to learn so much more about the group!! I guess the little sneak peaks of songs will be helpful with what to react to next. I might hear some beats that I just gotta hear the full song after!😂thanks so much by the way for the correct pronunciation for her name(especially since I’ve been saying it so often hahah) I did learn about Minx from a previous comment but it will be so helpful with a guide to just have more history of them! I appreciate learning so much from the comments & im so glad you’re enjoying the videos as well!!💜

      @@SashaArella On the pronunciation thing, I always recommend to anyone who's into K-pop that it's well worth taking some time to learn the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, even if you don't intend to learn the language itself.
      Pronunciation in Korean (while there are some quirks) is generally pretty consistent, so if you can read, for example, an idol's name in its native Hangeul, then you'll immediately know how to pronounce it.
      Plus Koreans use a lot of English loan words, so if you're reading RUclips video titles, you'll often find when you sound them out that you understand more than you expected... 😜
      There's lots of good resources; here's one that covers the whole alphabet, with examples, in about 90 mins... ruclips.net/video/s5aobqyEaMQ/видео.html

    although some of dreamcatcher's songs can be interpreted as a love song, it's not intended to be once you view them in the context of their discography. as another comment mentioned, july 7th is actually a story about lovers from across the galaxy who can only see each other on that date. in the context of dreamcatcher's lyrics, it's about them and their fans, insomnias. every dreamcatcher album has a ballad type song for/about insomnias. the vast majority of dreamcatcher's fans are international so most likely they will only be able to see fans from each country once a year on their world tours. this is why july 7th is often sung as the last song before their encore at concerts, as a promise to meet again. the reference to the sky and celestial bodies is also to identify a common connection between them and fans - no matter how far they are apart, both are under the same sky and can connect by looking at the same star/moon/etc in the sky.
    although it has more rock elements, one song I'd like to recommend is 'full moon' which is an anniversary fan song gifted on their first anniversary as a group. again it's a simple video with them performing a choreo, but musically it's one of their best songs with great lyrics. just hope you can get pass some of the rock instrumentation in it :D

      So TECHNICALLY it's still about love since they love InSomnia so much. 😛 (I'm just picking at you.)

    • @Brickerbrack
      @Brickerbrack 2 года назад +1

      Just to clarify, July 7th isn't actually referring to July 7th. It's the seventh day of the seventh month (7월 7일) of the _lunar_ calendar... this year it'll be August 4th.
      The Chinese version of the associated festival is Qixi, while Koreans call it Chilseok. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilseok
      And yeah, Full Moon is absolute _must;_ it's one of the songs that has particular meaning to InSomnia; the lyrics are even on the shaft of the Mongmongie light staff!

    For more Dami vocals, check out her and Siyeon’s OST track, Shadow. There’s a regular and slow version, you should do both! The official clip are just shots from the show, Dark Hole. Make sure you react to the lyric MVs so you know when Dami comes in!

    You should check out A heart of sunflower which is their only intended to be love song. It's more of a heartache song tbh. Poison love was their only other dramatic love song but they took the song and parodied it by making Handong the heartbreaker and all of them hilarious dating game love interests who get their heart broken. Usually their love songs are more about fans too.

      @@SashaArella Heads up, if you do album reactions, only do 3 songs per video at most. From what I understand, you won't really get blocked for Dreamcatcher related things UNLESS you do album listens in one video OR if you do a live stage and the company that owns the live stage video blocks you. Most of the lives that we'd suggest to you should be good to react as lots of other people have also reacted to them.

    B-SIDES! 😁 Never thought you'd hear a reggae song from a K-pop girl group, did you? lol. These two songs are staples among their B-sides, for sure. Wonderland is probably my favorite of the two. Unfortunately, it's because the story behind July 7th breaks my heart every time.
    Basically, in Korean folklore (China and Japan have their own version too), there is an immortal couple that are only allowed to meet on July 7th. The entire day they fight with what hurts more, having to wait another year or knowing that one day will eventually end. Like, for real though. It's so sad. 😭😭😭 Part of the lore is if it's raining on July 7th, it's because of the crying mentioned in the lyrics. Red Velvet has a song called "7월 7일 (One Of These Nights)" (7월 7일 meaning July 7th) whose lyrics are about this and with the ballad-like/slow R&B sound of Red Velvet and their voices, I have a REAL hard time holding it together. So, don't feel bad for getting hit by the lyrics in this song. They are legitimately incredibly sad. lol
    In my opinion, if you need/want to react to anyone else, do what you've got to do. lol. However, I hope you get to check out "Sahara" soon. I know I've said this before, it's a rock song, BUT it's a self-made MV that easily makes it worth watching. Alternatively, you could check out the "Poison Love" self-made MV. "Poison Love" is a chill EDM song. The premise is that everyone is in love with Handong and fighting for her attention. The song is on the album with "Odd Eye". That was the first album on which Handong was back with the group after being stuck in China for pretty much a year.
    Thanks for the reactions! Glad you're enjoying them so much!

      @@SashaArella It's absolutely beautiful. Their voices are too damn good. The MV for it is about something completely different from the lyrics. Unfortunately, it's also incredibly sad. Red Velvet/SM never officially confirmed it, but it's essentially a very artistic display of different perspectives from the Sewol ferry disaster in 2014.
      Not sure if you saw one of the replies in another comment, but I was wrong about 7월 7일 meaning exactly July 7th in Korean since they're on the Lunar calendar. I'm not terribly familiar with it so my bad on that one. 7월 7일 this year is August 4th according to Google. The more you know, right? 😂 I know the lyrics are blatantly about that lore though. I'm always excited to learn something new, even if I'm wrong. 😂
      Excited for your continued journey!

    If you really like sentimental lyrics then I definitely recommend their song "Dear". This song was written and co-produced by the leader of Dreamcatcher, Jiu. It's a song about how she feels about InSomnia, Dreamcatcher's fans. Here's a really good live performace that has the subtitles and the names of the members who are singing so you can see who's who!
