A little fun fact about DNA was that it initially had a different melody that none of the boys liked and Jimin took the initiative to tell the producer and CEO that they didn't like it and had it changed to this version which then got BTS their first ever billboard entry and was their gateway to the West!
Thanks for this reaction! 😊 Listening to you break down the tracks as a producer isn't boring at all. It actually solidifies BTS' talent and vision. Also, BTS songs age quite well. I think apart from their sound, their messages are timeless so you can go back to their older songs and will still be relevant. Have you reacted to or listened to Fire yet? You should if you haven't. 💜
As a person ignorant of the framework of a song and its faces, your point of view as an arranger and musician is very interesting to me and I learn a lot, thank you for your honest reaction to the MVs from my favorite band BTS 💜
I feel like it’s Christmas already with all these BTS reactions you are giving us 🎅🏼🎄🎁🥰💜 With all the members now in the military, we needed this, so thank you Nathan 🙏🏼💜💜💜
Sir you can ramble about the mixing and the sound all you like. As well as critiquing because that’s what I’m personally here for. Real reactions and opinions. This song is timeless. Also a tiny small fact, before this song came out, their boss Bang PD wrote the melody and sent it to the boys which they were like nooo way, this is terrible. So RM told the company and the day it was time for jimin to record, bang pd asked jimin again if he didn’t like it, and while jimin was nervous to tell their boss no, he just straight up told him, yup it’s bad! so bang pd rewrote it and we got this DNA! so shout out to jimin for speaking up. It wouldnt sound this amazing if it wasn’t for him speaking up. 💗
Thank you very much Nathan! I love as others have mentioned you give your expertise, your knowledge to the making of this reaction. We can know we love something but not know really the why and you put that in. Also, I have often thought about Suga ( his producer side) when you do your thing, I am sure he would greatly respect your understanding (probably all the boys at this point with their added level of producing) and tell others how complex it is. I can also relate more to Sugas making of MV when he is frustrated. So again Thank you! It is fun to watch your level of respect for BTS. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Firstly, I love your voice. I see why you instantly pointed out jimin in earlier reactions. Also, BTS definitely hit different, and your musical insights helps to understand why that is 💜🩵💛🩶 It’s a different way to appreciate their songs. Thank you!
If you have time for it, maybe you can try watching the MV followed by a live performance of the song! I would love to see that! Thank you for the reaction. I’m enjoying the BTS content. 💜
Your breakdowns aren't boring at all. It always feels like a fun learning session while listening to my fav music..with you. Btw, Jimin has a fan song coming out this fri called Closer Than this.
Hi Nathan! Thank you for the breakdown. I learned about reverb and found your insight made me listen to the song differently. I can’t wait for more of your BTS reactions! Happy Holidays ❄️
I really love it when you teach us while reacting to their mv's. And literally i heard the beats that i didn't hear at my 1st time when you said about those things. Really appreciate for that💜
Watch IDOL... so colorful too. Haters said they used fake backgrounds in their videos so they went a head and did it with these songs to show the difference, saying I'll show you fake. the same way the videos are epic and no idleness in actions... that the same way their concerts are... they are always moving. I get exhausted watching them...
It's interesting the way you explain and describe the music and it's production in a spatial way.. Music in 3D.. If we look at the DNA choreo, it's always using that in and out mouvements, like a heart, sometimes they are very closed, then the group expands... I learn a lot with your videos! GREAT RÉACTION !
Aurora is Norwegian and her most famous song is Runaway. I would be interested to see what you think of the production. It would be a very different vibe from BTS, for sure.
You're breakdown of the production shows how passionate you are about your craft. Thank you for sharing your insights. It was so helpful. I appreciate musicians and artists who aren't afraid to dive deep on any artists of their choice/not and are willing to embark on a journey of discovery to broaden their own horizon and of others. So thank you. Also, Nate, Spring Day cover, will it be a Holiday gift or not? I am getting curiouser and curiouser you tease 😉😏 P.S. much love from Mizoram (India)
Like I always says BTS are so ahead of time like imagine dropping "Dope" now TT their songs always have been great like super great!! The quality never dies
We’re learning so much from you! Appreciate you give details to the production of BTS songs, proving how they really thought about creating their music and perfecting their craft. Thank you! 💜
Check out Jeff Satur from Thailand. He writes (in English and Thai), produces and plays the instruments. For a Beautiful ballad watch the live English version of Why Don’t You Stay from his Thai drama which he acts in called KinnPorsche and for his more poppy songs his current song Black Tie, or Dum Dum, or Fade. There are English versions for a lot of his songs.
I've really been loving watching you fall harder and harder for BTS! I think you'd really love Taemin's music -- he's a member of Shinee and his solo work is really incredible. Check out Criminal or Advice first!!
Always love your reactions! I think you would really love Crystal Snow (Japanese version) and Lights. BTS did incredible Live performances of these songs. Crystal Snow was at their 5th Muster, you won't believe Jin sings a double note then triple high note, truly truly incredible. It's harder to find a good live version of Lights from their 4th Muster but there is a music video and a studio version.
Hello there, very professionally explained but in a fun way! True, the song can transcends trend and time. The lyrics too. Happy holidays to you and family. Hope the boys enjoy their military journey and experienced it and write a song or write a rap about it. To 2025 and beyond!!!
I most definitely think you'll like to react to a compilation of their high notes or the live performances of Let Me Know and Hold Me Tight. Those two songs had me on chokehold for Jimin's vocals, especially his high notes. Another song suggestion is their Japanese songs like Crystal Snow and Lights. Similar to their song Film Out to which you already reacted to, most of their Japanese Songs are very sentimental and I think you will like them very much. On a side note, please react to A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 to get to know them deeper. Thank you for these amazing reactions!
BTS' songs "taught" me to listen not only to the voice in a song, but to all the stuff that is going on behind . There is so much layering! And depending on what earphones you use, you sometimes get these 'oh,I never heard/noticed that sound (adlibs, instrument,...) before '! I love that !
This MV is so interesting and entertaining. I love to watch live performances of DNA, too! Jung Kook's whistle is spot on! What can't they do! Thanks for the reaction. 💜
The reason I listen to your reactions is for your breakdowns as a producer. Please no boring, what we come for because many us do not know these things. Now I hear them after you break it down. Still hoping for that video on auto-tune works, and how it is used as an element not only to correct a vocal. I think how they used in on RM in dynamite and then he looks funny at the mic in the video.
Hey Nathan! Never apologize for rambling, pointing out stuff you find interesting and are obviously knowledgeable about, is what makes watching your videos worthwhile! One song by BTS I'd love for you to hear is 134340, one of my absolute favorites. If you insist on trying another group, I'd suggest Mamamoo's "Décalcomanie" or why not Poets of the Fall's "Carnival of Rust". Have a great and peaceful holiday season! 💜
I’m hearing a lot of BTS’s older songs for first time with you as there is so much to get through. I often don’t like when reactors stop tracks constantly. Often jumping out of their chairs and sometimes over reacting. I love your reactions because you give professional notes of the songs. It’s so interesting to her it from a producer/ professionals advice. Keep it up, we are enjoying your reactions. 💜
DNA was performed at the American Music Awards in 2017, and the first k-pop group to do that. It was their first time on American tv. Shortly after, they won Best Social Artist at BBMA, ousting Justin Bieber, and keeping the title until they went on hiatus.
Watching anyone react to BTS makes me a proud parent 😂😂... Good reaction n break down. I learn a lot of technical terms from you and other reaction videos. You can also react to Dope n Airplane part 2, i started my BTS journey from these 2 songs. I am sure you will love them. And as you asked, try reacting to Indian songs (Not just bollywood, indian). You will have limitless options n experience too. Enjoy!!
In 2017 Bts performed this at Ama, first ever on a American award show the where on, and a lot off Armys did show up, that is when people got to hear Army for the first time
That’s one thing I love about the music- it grows with them through their discography but STILL is totally current. There are many clipped moments of their songs brought out onto tiktok and socials by people who don’t even know BTS (insane ik) that just clip them due to it sounding so neat. To my ears, I love their production value which is why I started being intrigued by them in the first place. The way the tracks are made and how they do the pre chorus’ verses, bridges and all of it just is layered well and MUSIC to my ears. I now go back to listen to some of the songs I used to listen to ( a lot of western artists ) and it’s not that the songs are totally horrible, some are still great songs, it’s just the production value is so much lower in the sound, or just so different - repeats over and over and not much imagination or switch ups. Can’t listen to them too much unless it’s while I’m working out and it rolls through on a playlist
Thank you for your reaction. You guys scrolling through the comments should really check out Nathan's English cover of Fake Love, but it is so good and well-produced. Not a boring moment.
I've never seen a reactor consider how long ago a track came out while commenting on it, i guess watching the reaction of a real musician provides that! thanks for your comments, i really like it when you also comment on the production side
DNA opened a "new era". We were coming off of "Wings" and the trilogy before that--and this just felt so fresh and new and uplifting. I actually cried through my first few times I watched this video. It was intense--but wonderful!
DNA was my intro to BTS and has a special place in my heart. For what it’s worth I really enjoy your explanations. Your trained ear picks out things I don’t notice but now will because you talked about them. For me that is the reason I keep watching your reaction videos. They add to my personal experience of the music. This adds value to me. Thanks for sharing your observations and thoughts.
Reactors who have some kind of musical knowledge, video editing knowledge etc, are my favorite people to watch because they add something to the reaction and teaches me things about my favorite group i didnt know. Other reactirs are cool to watch as well, but i appreciate professionals who can share something new instead of just "whoaaaa it's good" & thats it. (Not dissing non pro reactors, i watch a ton of them, but it just adds something to the experience)
As far as other languages... I love Vitas. My two favorites are Cranes crying and The star....for K-POP...check out VIXX...My favorite song ever....is Error. Error and Fantasy have famous classical music in the background.
If you want to check out artists other than Kpop, you should listen to Jeff Satur's Why Don't You Stay. He is from Thailand, and it's amazing. He released two versions, one in Thai and an English version. Both are awesome but I think it hits harder in his native language.
Blab all YOU want about mixing, reverbs, etc (😁). Your thumbnail show up •when I click Kpop• (HAD 2 google your name •sound familiar•) it says Plus One •🧠 🤯• (subscribe 2 you w/n 5 mns) L O V E you and da guys since Debut til 2004. Welcome 2 🌏 of Kpop/BTS I ❤️ these guys since Debut (6/13/2013) Me known about Kpop/dramas/series since 8/2008. cant WAIT for more ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Thanks Nathan. It's nice to know that you are interested in music from different artists around the world. I can recommend you to get acquainted with creativity: Jeff Satur / เจฟซาเตอร์, 'Into1' is a multi-national Chinese boy group, 'WayV' is a Chinese boy band, 'Onewe' is a South Korean alternative rock band, 'Xdinary Heroes' is a South Korean rock band, 'Oneus' is a South Korean boy band, 'Stray Kids' is a South Korean boy band.
Better songs of BTS are old songs, definitely. NO Dinamyte,NO Butter,NO Permission to Dance, although I like them too, but for me, the Best of BTS can be found oin his previous albums. I recommend Cypher 1-4 , My City, Rain, Outro-Tear, Sea, Tomorrow, Butterfly, etc. Saludos!
You're always so sweet. You're so knowledgeable and you're bringing out and explaining elements that I didn't even know about BTS songs that I'd just listened to and loved. Thanks so much for your reactions.
Absolutely love your comments on BTS!! If you’re open to reacting to other stuff I would recommend Fujii Kaze (shinunoga ewa live) and One ok rock (live stadium performances)!
I enjoy your comments and stories about the production techniques and thoughts behind sounds very much! And your good mood too. You mentioned you’d like to hear suggestion of songs from other countries… (I’m danish). Maybe some time you might listen to: From Denmark: Lukas Graham “You’re not there” and/or “7 years”. Look for the official mv for best sound, but you know that :-). Or you might be in the mood for something totally different? From Faroe Islands/Iceland: Eivor Palsdottir: “Trollabundin” - the 10.08.2013 outdoor performance. or Iceland: Jonsi’s “Sticks & Stones” - you might find the video with lyrics and translation most helpful. or Norway: Royksopp “Here she comes again” (Original). or Northern Sweden/Lappland: Sofia Jannok “Irene” (official video) - for this one you might want to google “joik” to understand more about the way of singing and the Sami people of northern Scandinavia. In any case! Listen to anything you like, and keep sharing what your ears tell you about the sounds and soundscapes. It’s really interesting and helpful in appreciating the music more. Like treasure hunting! Best regards and thanks, Nethe from Denmark
Hi, Nathan. A more upbeat one this DNA, yah? A suggestion if you don't mind : appreciate if you could react to another song of theirs called "ON". On their official music video, you will be amazed by the cinematography(?). And then do a 2-in-1 (hey, you'll then get to lusten to the song twice!) in one reaction video by reacting also to "ON : Kinetic Manifesto" which was filmed in a dam in California. I would do the MV first, followed by the Manifesto. They are 2 separate MVs - both are a feast for the eyes and ears. Go for it, Nathan! I'll be sure to search you up for it! Thanks!
Thank you for informing us about the details of the song. When you mention the beat and ryhme in the background, the song transforms another level for me😅thank you
Thanks Nathan!☺🙏🏻 I recommend you to check out the German Band, AnnenMayKantereit. They have a great style. Some of my favorite songs are ; Lass es kreisen (Live from Cologne) Can't Get You out of My Head (Cover) Tom's Diner (Cover) Ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen (Proberaum Session) Ausgehen
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but there's also a "DNA: Pedal To LA" remix that adds electric guitars and comes off as almost a completely different, but still awesome (!) song. P.S. I loved Plus One! I remember watching you on Days Of Our Lives, Touched By An Angel, and how "Last Flight Out" was the most requested video on Alternet for weeks on end. (I doubt anyone else gets those references.)
Dear Nathan, I am Italian , 64 years old and I love BTS. I suggest you to react to these wonderfull songs o theirs. 2! 3! (Hoping for more good days), Hold me tight, Daeng, attack on Bangtan, Stigma. Congrats for your excellent comments and for loving these magnificent fab 7. In Stigma you’ll eventually appreciate Taehyung’ s extraordinary baritonal vocal range and his soulfullness. Besides their good music, their amazing skill in singing, rapping and dancing: most of their songs are full of significance and meanings.
I have 2 favorite (Singer/Rapper) Producer-Reactor here on YT that I always depend on for additional informational insights for BTS music - Blake McLain for Pop (focuses more on the sound details, he explains it in a way that even non-music expert can understand and he spotted a lot of text paintings that BTS does w/o him knowing, he's always pretty spot on on noticing important details in the sound that connects w/ the lyrics even tho he has no idea) and Knox Hill for HipHop (focuses more on lyrics, this man is such a wordsmith and philosopher too, he's accurate in determining the things BTS wants to convey w/ their lyrics as if has also witnessed BTS alongside us and gives additional insights that could extend our own interpretation). These 2 are the best in giving reviews because aside from their skills & knowledge, they just purely analyzes the music devoid of prejudice regardless the artist of that music, I can see the excitement growing in every interesting detail that they discover, same people passionate for music. I'm glad that I can see that you're heading in the same direction as them, because honestly your first impression on me was not quite good. I hope you'll continue to react to BTS more relaxed but at the same time excited in discovering more about them and their music. 💜 Some of my fave BTS Songs that has text paintings, "134340", "Lie", "Jamais Vu", "Zero O'Clock", "Don't Leave Me".. "Whalien 52" uses a whale-like sound in the production, this song is dear to us for its relatable lyrics...
@NathanWalters I love your videos and breakdowns, that is, with one exception - a general, blanket exception. As a fellow artist, I get irritated and uncomfortable when a professional like yourself feels pressure to apologize for "not reacting properly" or "not catering". I REALLY wish it wasn't like that. Art is subjective, period. You are a professional musician, recording artist, producer AND "Former Boy Band Member" for crying out loud! You can analyze, pause, rewind, eat a sandwich, rewind again, talk, not talk, sing, dance, check notes and chords on your piano, promote your favorite Russian tea and enlighten us about stacked tracks all you want because this is YOUR house! You are respectful and patient. You don't yell, rant or act disingenuous. You educate and entertain without editing - a major skill in and of itself! AND you have the coolest hair cut 😎 Thanks, just needed to get that irritant my chest. Happy Holidays to you and your family!! 💜
When you said you thought it might be outdated, I though "Hmmm reckon he might change his mind" lol. ruclips.net/video/IK8OOpeYHC4/видео.html I share with you Stan Walker former winner of Australian Idol. He wrote and performed I AM from the movie ORIGIN. He is an Australian born Maori. The Maori people are indigenous to New Zealand (Aotearoa - Land of the long white cloud). This is the theatrical version and doesn't have subtitles. There are parts when he sings in Maori. But you should be able to google them. I didn't share the lyric video because this version is incredibly epic.
A little fun fact about DNA was that it initially had a different melody that none of the boys liked and Jimin took the initiative to tell the producer and CEO that they didn't like it and had it changed to this version which then got BTS their first ever billboard entry and was their gateway to the West!

I think apart from their sound, their messages are timeless so you can go back to their older songs and will still be relevant. Have you reacted to or listened to Fire yet? You should if you haven't. 💜
Thank you! And no, I havent listened to Fire yet. I’ll check it out
Also Not Today by BTS.
As a person ignorant of the framework of a song and its faces, your point of view as an arranger and musician is very interesting to me and I learn a lot, thank you for your honest reaction to the MVs from my favorite band BTS 💜
DNA is what got me into BTS. Still a great song after all these years. Have a good one Nathan 👍
Me too!
Yes, I caught this on TV and was “What did I just see?”
me three!
Nathan!
Jimin announces new digital single "Closer Than This" out this Friday Dec 22 at 2PM KST/12AM ET 🎉❤
Yes!🎉🎉🎉
Hi Nathan, you should react to Jimin's LIE, the production of that song is crazy
Nice reaction again. Can you please react to "Jimin Introduction Video 2023", it's awesome💜💜💜
Don’t matter what year it is, BTS music are timeless
I feel like it’s Christmas already with all these BTS reactions you are giving us 🎅🏼🎄🎁🥰💜 With all the members now in the military, we needed this, so thank you Nathan 🙏🏼💜💜💜

You must try to watch jin epiphany live version jin is super nice and full of emotion
He already did 10-11 days ago
@@AISHPANDEY4174 Not the full live version though.
I really love it when you teach us while reacting to their mv's. And literally i heard the beats that i didn't hear at my 1st time when you said about those things. Really appreciate for that💜
Thank you to Jimin he said to Bang PD when he 1st heard the song that the sound is boring, then they changed to this sounds.
Watch IDOL... so colorful too. Haters said they used fake backgrounds in their videos so they went a head and did it with these songs to show the difference, saying I'll show you fake. the same way the videos are epic and no idleness in actions... that the same way their concerts are... they are always moving. I get exhausted watching them...
Fun fact: DNA was the first song BTS ever performed on American TV. It was also their most watched song on RUclips until Dynamite overtook it.
It's interesting the way you explain and describe the music and it's production in a spatial way.. Music in 3D.. If we look at the DNA choreo, it's always using that in and out mouvements, like a heart, sometimes they are very closed, then the group expands... I learn a lot with your videos! GREAT RÉACTION !
I’m enjoying your insights from a producer’s perspective.
They debuted this song in America at the Billboard awards
Some people you might like to react to Dimash, onew from shinee's solo music, stray kids and seventeen.
Hi :) Could you react to two songs by the singer Brodka?
- Game Change
- Sadza
I'm surprised and sad to hear that you haven't heard this song before. It was popular at the time and performed at the AMAs
Thanks for reaction ❤😊
And also please react to indian
Singer shreya ghoshal
This, this, THIS! This is the song that sent me down the rabbit hole. One of the BEST SONGS EVER! Super glad you loved it too!
Aurora is Norwegian and her most famous song is Runaway. I would be interested to see what you think of the production. It would be a very different vibe from BTS, for sure.
You're breakdown of the production shows how passionate you are about your craft. Thank you for sharing your insights. It was so helpful.

Also, Nate, Spring Day cover, will it be a Holiday gift or not? I am getting curiouser and curiouser you tease 😉😏
P.S. much love from Mizoram (India)
Say Thank You Jimin for being honest and making them change the melody of DNA, enabling it to be BTS' first entry on BB100#1
Like I always says BTS are so ahead of time like imagine dropping "Dope" now TT their songs always have been great like super great!! The quality never dies
We’re learning so much from you! Appreciate you give details to the production of BTS songs, proving how they really thought about creating their music and perfecting their craft. Thank you! 💜
I love DNA 💜💜 Since it's Christmas , can you react to their Christmas carol medley from 2019 , its really cool
Check out Jeff Satur from Thailand. He writes (in English and Thai), produces and plays the instruments. For a Beautiful ballad watch the live English version of Why Don’t You Stay from his Thai drama which he acts in called KinnPorsche and for his more poppy songs his current song Black Tie, or Dum Dum, or Fade. There are English versions for a lot of his songs.
This song was BTS' debut on American television at the AMA's in 2017.
This is a great song, thanks for reacting to it. They will often have more than one version of songs they release, the Pedal 2 LA mix slaps.
I've really been loving watching you fall harder and harder for BTS! I think you'd really love Taemin's music -- he's a member of Shinee and his solo work is really incredible. Check out Criminal or Advice first!!
Christmas came early! Jimin is releasing a new song this Friday! Closer than this! 💜🩷😭😭 can’t waitttt
Always love your reactions! I think you would really love Crystal Snow (Japanese version) and Lights. BTS did incredible Live performances of these songs. Crystal Snow was at their 5th Muster, you won't believe Jin sings a double note then triple high note, truly truly incredible. It's harder to find a good live version of Lights from their 4th Muster but there is a music video and a studio version.

Hello there, very professionally explained but in a fun way! True, the song can transcends trend and time. The lyrics too. Happy holidays to you and family. Hope the boys enjoy their military journey and experienced it and write a song or write a rap about it. To 2025 and beyond!!!

I love that !
Agreed about adlips
When my earphones half broken so i can listen JK's backing vocal very well almost in every song of BTS😊
This MV is so interesting and entertaining. I love to watch live performances of DNA, too! Jung Kook's whistle is spot on! What can't they do! Thanks for the reaction. 💜
The reason I listen to your reactions is for your breakdowns as a producer. Please no boring, what we come for because many us do not know these things. Now I hear them after you break it down.
Still hoping for that video on auto-tune works, and how it is used as an element not only to correct a vocal. I think how they used in on RM in dynamite and then he looks funny at the mic in the video.
Still waiting on the sisters songs save me / I'm fine💜🫰
Fallon 2018 interview with DNA performance is an INFLECTION POINT
Hey Nathan! Never apologize for rambling, pointing out stuff you find interesting and are obviously knowledgeable about, is what makes watching your videos worthwhile!
One song by BTS I'd love for you to hear is 134340, one of my absolute favorites. If you insist on trying another group, I'd suggest Mamamoo's "Décalcomanie" or why not Poets of the Fall's "Carnival of Rust".
Have a great and peaceful holiday season! 💜
Jim in visuals and vocals😍😍😍😍💜🇵🇰
I’m hearing a lot of BTS’s older songs for first time with you as there is so much to get through.
I often don’t like when reactors stop tracks constantly. Often jumping out of their chairs and sometimes over reacting. I love your reactions because you give professional notes of the songs. It’s so interesting to her it from a producer/ professionals advice. Keep it up, we are enjoying your reactions. 💜
watch v live in tiny desk is very good
DNA was performed at the American Music Awards in 2017, and the first k-pop group to do that. It was their first time on American tv. Shortly after, they won Best Social Artist at BBMA, ousting Justin Bieber, and keeping the title until they went on hiatus.

And as you asked, try reacting to Indian songs (Not just bollywood, indian). You will have limitless options n experience too. Enjoy!!
I always enjoy your reactions, nice to hear about music from the inside of the industry.
This was really fun to watch. How one elaborates about a whistle..😂
But thanks for all the explanations.
thank you for your reaction 💜
and would like to inform Closer Than This" by #JIMIN Out December 22nd
Ah! Thank you for telling me!
In 2017 Bts performed this at Ama, first ever on a American award show the where on, and a lot off Armys did show up, that is when people got to hear Army for the first time
I really like The old songs from BTS. I need You - Mic Drop - Blood Sweat and Tears
Im fine - Save Me
Deberías reaccionar más a sus presentaciónes en vivo , son una locura , por ejemplo los MMA 2019
That’s one thing I love about the music- it grows with them through their discography but STILL is totally current. There are many clipped moments of their songs brought out onto tiktok and socials by people who don’t even know BTS (insane ik) that just clip them due to it sounding so neat.
To my ears, I love their production value which is why I started being intrigued by them in the first place. The way the tracks are made and how they do the pre chorus’ verses, bridges and all of it just is layered well and MUSIC to my ears. I now go back to listen to some of the songs I used to listen to ( a lot of western artists ) and it’s not that the songs are totally horrible, some are still great songs, it’s just the production value is so much lower in the sound, or just so different - repeats over and over and not much imagination or switch ups. Can’t listen to them too much unless it’s while I’m working out and it rolls through on a playlist
Thank you for your reaction. You guys scrolling through the comments should really check out Nathan's English cover of Fake Love, but it is so good and well-produced. Not a boring moment.
Thank you for saying that! And thanks for listening!
I've never seen a reactor consider how long ago a track came out while commenting on it, i guess watching the reaction of a real musician provides that! thanks for your comments, i really like it when you also comment on the production side
Another great reaction! Thank you for sharing your perspective. 😊😊
you should react to txt back for more and 0x1=lovesong

You have to react to BTS live, they're amazing. 💗🥹
DNA opened a "new era". We were coming off of "Wings" and the trilogy before that--and this just felt so fresh and new and uplifting. I actually cried through my first few times I watched this video. It was intense--but wonderful!
This was the song and MV that pushed me down the rabbit hole that is BTS. (February 2018) 🥳
Fujii Kaze - "Shinunoga E-Wa" (SUCH AN AMAZING SONG!!!) IF U HAVE TIME, PLS REACT TO IT, ESPECIALLY THE LIVE VERSION ❤
YAY!
I was waiting for you to react to DNA. This song and music video is epic all around. I always look forward to your reactions!💜
From one Nathan to another, keep up the great work :) Also don't forget to watch Epiphany Live!
Also a question for you, what's your FAVOURITE BTS track so far?
Love the production notes! This video/song got me into BTS. I love the vocals, the dancing, the visuals, and of course the message!💜
Jimins iconic gucci sparkly jacket went viral and his parts always gets viral.
DNA was my intro to BTS and has a special place in my heart.
For what it’s worth I really enjoy your explanations. Your trained ear picks out things I don’t notice but now will because you talked about them. For me that is the reason I keep watching your reaction videos. They add to my personal experience of the music. This adds value to me. Thanks for sharing your observations and thoughts.
Reactors who have some kind of musical knowledge, video editing knowledge etc, are my favorite people to watch because they add something to the reaction and teaches me things about my favorite group i didnt know. Other reactirs are cool to watch as well, but i appreciate professionals who can share something new instead of just "whoaaaa it's good" & thats it. (Not dissing non pro reactors, i watch a ton of them, but it just adds something to the experience)
As far as other languages... I love Vitas. My two favorites are Cranes crying and The star....for K-POP...check out VIXX...My favorite song ever....is Error. Error and Fantasy have famous classical music in the background.
Please react to Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie,Jimin Lie.
If you want to check out artists other than Kpop, you should listen to Jeff Satur's Why Don't You Stay. He is from Thailand, and it's amazing. He released two versions, one in Thai and an English version. Both are awesome but I think it hits harder in his native language.
You should checkout IU songs.....she is the most popular and best korean soloist....jungkook of bts is a fan of her...
Blab all YOU want about mixing, reverbs, etc (😁).
Your thumbnail show up •when I click Kpop• (HAD 2 google your name •sound familiar•) it says Plus One •🧠 🤯• (subscribe 2 you w/n 5 mns) L O V E you and da guys since Debut til 2004.
Welcome 2 🌏 of Kpop/BTS
I ❤️ these guys since Debut (6/13/2013)
Me known about Kpop/dramas/series since 8/2008.
cant WAIT for more ! ! ! ! ! ! !
@@julieduong6571 awe. Thank you for this comment! Made my day. 😀
Nice reaction! I love the choreo and the colorfulness of the video. Great footwork in the choreo, and a kaleidoscope of colors! Glad you enjoyed it…💜
Me hubiera gustado más si la voz de Jimin tuviera más letra para cantar es que su voz es hermosa ❤
Thanks Nathan.
It's nice to know that you are interested in music from different artists around the world.
I can recommend you to get acquainted with creativity:
Jeff Satur / เจฟซาเตอร์,
'Into1' is a multi-national Chinese boy group,
'WayV' is a Chinese boy band,
'Onewe' is a South Korean alternative rock band,
'Xdinary Heroes' is a South Korean rock band,
'Oneus' is a South Korean boy band,
'Stray Kids' is a South Korean boy band.
Better songs of BTS are old songs, definitely. NO Dinamyte,NO Butter,NO Permission to Dance, although I like them too, but for me, the Best of BTS can be found oin his previous albums. I recommend Cypher 1-4 , My City, Rain, Outro-Tear, Sea, Tomorrow, Butterfly, etc.
Saludos!
You're always so sweet. You're so knowledgeable and you're bringing out and explaining elements that I didn't even know about BTS songs that I'd just listened to and loved. Thanks so much for your reactions.
Absolutely love your comments on BTS!! If you’re open to reacting to other stuff I would recommend Fujii Kaze (shinunoga ewa live) and One ok rock (live stadium performances)!
I love your BTS reactions! I recommend listening to Hakujitsu by King Gnu, they are a Japanese band and are totally awesome!!
I enjoy your comments and stories about the production techniques and thoughts behind sounds very much! And your good mood too.
You mentioned you’d like to hear suggestion of songs from other countries… (I’m danish).
Maybe some time you might listen to:
From Denmark:
Lukas Graham “You’re not there” and/or “7 years”. Look for the official mv for best sound, but you know that :-).
Or you might be in the mood for something totally different?
From Faroe Islands/Iceland:
Eivor Palsdottir: “Trollabundin” - the 10.08.2013 outdoor performance.
or
Iceland:
Jonsi’s “Sticks & Stones” - you might find the video with lyrics and translation most helpful.
or Norway:
Royksopp “Here she comes again” (Original).
or
Northern Sweden/Lappland:
Sofia Jannok “Irene” (official video) - for this one you might want to google “joik” to understand more about the way of singing and the Sami people of northern Scandinavia.
In any case! Listen to anything you like, and keep sharing what your ears tell you about the sounds and soundscapes. It’s really interesting and helpful in appreciating the music more. Like treasure hunting!
Best regards and thanks, Nethe from Denmark
Hi, Nathan. A more upbeat one this DNA, yah? A suggestion if you don't mind : appreciate if you could react to another song of theirs called "ON". On their official music video, you will be amazed by the cinematography(?). And then do a 2-in-1 (hey, you'll then get to lusten to the song twice!) in one reaction video by reacting also to "ON : Kinetic Manifesto" which was filmed in a dam in California. I would do the MV first, followed by the Manifesto. They are 2 separate MVs - both are a feast for the eyes and ears. Go for it, Nathan! I'll be sure to search you up for it! Thanks!
Thank you for informing us about the details of the song. When you mention the beat and ryhme in the background, the song transforms another level for me😅thank you
Thanks Nathan!☺🙏🏻 I recommend you to check out the German Band, AnnenMayKantereit. They have a great style. Some of my favorite songs are ;
Lass es kreisen (Live from Cologne)
Can't Get You out of My Head (Cover)
Tom's Diner (Cover)
Ich geh heut nicht mehr tanzen (Proberaum Session)
Ausgehen
Hi Nathan, I recommend you to listen to DNA Pedal LA version, no MV, I think you will love that, very Rock 🤘 version. 💜
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but there's also a "DNA: Pedal To LA" remix that adds electric guitars and comes off as almost a completely different, but still awesome (!) song.
P.S. I loved Plus One! I remember watching you on Days Of Our Lives, Touched By An Angel, and how "Last Flight Out" was the most requested video on Alternet for weeks on end. (I doubt anyone else gets those references.)
you should give either Red Velvet a listen or MAMAMOO they're both kpop girl groups with amazing vocals
Whatch le jazz the V (BTS)
Dear Nathan, I am Italian , 64 years old and I love BTS.
I suggest you to react to these wonderfull songs o theirs.
2! 3! (Hoping for more good days), Hold me tight, Daeng, attack on Bangtan, Stigma.
Congrats for your excellent comments and for loving these magnificent fab 7. In Stigma you’ll eventually appreciate Taehyung’ s extraordinary baritonal vocal range and his soulfullness.
Besides their good music, their amazing skill in singing, rapping and dancing: most of their songs are full of significance and meanings.
I have 2 favorite (Singer/Rapper) Producer-Reactor here on YT that I always depend on for additional informational insights for BTS music - Blake McLain for Pop (focuses more on the sound details, he explains it in a way that even non-music expert can understand and he spotted a lot of text paintings that BTS does w/o him knowing, he's always pretty spot on on noticing important details in the sound that connects w/ the lyrics even tho he has no idea) and Knox Hill for HipHop (focuses more on lyrics, this man is such a wordsmith and philosopher too, he's accurate in determining the things BTS wants to convey w/ their lyrics as if has also witnessed BTS alongside us and gives additional insights that could extend our own interpretation). These 2 are the best in giving reviews because aside from their skills & knowledge, they just purely analyzes the music devoid of prejudice regardless the artist of that music, I can see the excitement growing in every interesting detail that they discover, same people passionate for music. I'm glad that I can see that you're heading in the same direction as them, because honestly your first impression on me was not quite good. I hope you'll continue to react to BTS more relaxed but at the same time excited in discovering more about them and their music. 💜 Some of my fave BTS Songs that has text paintings, "134340", "Lie", "Jamais Vu", "Zero O'Clock", "Don't Leave Me".. "Whalien 52" uses a whale-like sound in the production, this song is dear to us for its relatable lyrics...
@NathanWalters I love your videos and breakdowns, that is, with one exception - a general, blanket exception. As a fellow artist, I get irritated and uncomfortable when a professional like yourself feels pressure to apologize for "not reacting properly" or "not catering". I REALLY wish it wasn't like that. Art is subjective, period. You are a professional musician, recording artist, producer AND "Former Boy Band Member" for crying out loud! You can analyze, pause, rewind, eat a sandwich, rewind again, talk, not talk, sing, dance, check notes and chords on your piano, promote your favorite Russian tea and enlighten us about stacked tracks all you want because this is YOUR house! You are respectful and patient. You don't yell, rant or act disingenuous. You educate and entertain without editing - a major skill in and of itself! AND you have the coolest hair cut 😎 Thanks, just needed to get that irritant my chest. Happy Holidays to you and your family!! 💜
When you said you thought it might be outdated, I though "Hmmm reckon he might change his mind" lol.
ruclips.net/video/IK8OOpeYHC4/видео.html I share with you Stan Walker former winner of Australian Idol. He wrote and performed I AM from the movie ORIGIN. He is an Australian born Maori. The Maori people are indigenous to New Zealand (Aotearoa - Land of the long white cloud). This is the theatrical version and doesn't have subtitles. There are parts when he sings in Maori. But you should be able to google them. I didn't share the lyric video because this version is incredibly epic.
