    If you want a full version of lightsaber, there is a live performance in which they actually incorporated the lightsaber into the choreography.

    "Sing For You" is literally, as the title says, EXO singing to EXO-L and some say the MV and song are about how the members feel and how they are dealing with Kris, Luhan and Tao leaving the group. The members really felt like they let fans down during this time and that they broke their promise to always be one. (EXO's slogan is "We Are One." Which represents how even as sub-units they were one group and they are one with the fans, etc. So, when the Chinese members left, the rest of the members felt like as a group they broke that promise.) So this song was a promise and apology song.
    This was so far from simple times for the members of EXO. This was probably one of the hardest times for EXO and EXO-Ls.
    That's why you see Chanyeol and Suho get in a fight, because as the leader, Suho really blamed himself for not being able to keep the group together and Chanyeol is pretty much yelling at Suho to stop blaming himself and that there is no point because Kris, Luhan and Tao made their own choices and there is nothing he could have done about it even if he wanted to, etc. They are all angry and sad because they felt like they were all so blindsided by everything that happened because the members who left didn't really say anything to anyone before they decided to leave. A lot happened during this time, and there was so much uncertainty about what it meant for the group, etc.
    In the beginning you see them happy because this was after they have worked through their anger and are now learning to move on. The parts where you see them sad and angry are flashbacks to recent moments where they were still working through their feelings of anger and sadness.
    In the end of the MV you start to see them being happy and playing around as friends again because they were learning to get past it all and move on and they made the choice to let it go and to keep singing for us, EXO-Ls. :)
    The whale seems kind of weird until you discover the meaning behind it all, and then it shows how clever and meaningful they were with the concept. The whale is supposed to represent Alice a.k.a. "The Loneliest Whale in the World", who is an unidentified whale species, she is the only whale that has been found to emit a call at a really high frequency which means that when she speaks there might not be any other whales that can hear her or answer her back.
    Sehun is the one who is in the spacesuit and he is supposed to represent the lonely feeling you get floating all alone in space. The astronaut comes from the story/poem about an astronaut who spent 48 minutes alone in his spaceship as he came back to Earth and how he said that those 48 minutes were the longest and most lonely of mankind.
    The combination of these two concepts, along with the lyrics of the song, talk about being away from home, being somewhere unfamiliar (since the whale and astronaut are in space) and being isolated from everything and everyone. Isolation is one of the themes within the MV. The song and the MV seems to talk about how everyone, in their lifetime, will reach a low point where they feel most isolated and like they don't belong or don't fit in, etc. But as the song says, EXO promises that this song and the members will be there to warm listeners', and especially EXO-Ls, hearts.
    Most of the time when you saw the member in the video they were the voice you could hear singing in the song. The more you get to know EXO, the more you will be able to pick out their voices without having to even see their face. I can tell who is singing in every part of this MV. :D But if you want to see who is singing each part of this song you should watch a lyric video that shows all the members as they point out who is singing each line of the song. It will help you put names to faces and maybe even start to recognize each of their voices.

    In regards to the whale in the MV, many ppl think it's connected to the austronaut's whale poem. I don't exactly remember the poem, it's been a while since i returned to the MV although i listen to the song quite often, but i think it was about a whale who decided to go to space and forewent time spending with his loved ones, but ended up being very lonely. Then he met the astronaut and they became friends.
    The other theory is that the whale is the one that produces a sound at a specific Hz, and it's the only whale in the world that does it. So it can't find anyone because no other whales hear it. And the austronaut is the guy who went to space for a pretty short period of time, roughly an hour i think, but he said that it was the loneliest hour in his life. So the theme of the MV is loneliness, realization of the importance of the people you love. Many also believe that it was connected to members leaving (Kris and Luhan left in 2014 and Tao left in 2015, making EXO officially a 9 member group we know today) beautiful MV, whichever theory is correct, it is nonetheless a beautiful metaphor
    For the Lightsaber MV, i don't rly understand the meaning, the song is nice tho haha

      They SOUND warm, but they lyrics are still sad or bittersweet. EXO just doesn't know how to do happy winter tracks.

  • @SiwonnieFan
    @SiwonnieFan 2 года назад +3

    "Sing For You" has a deeper meaning because it shows how they felt when the 3 chinese members left the group. For example, the fight, on the left is Suho the leader and he always blamed himself for what happened even though he shouldn't, so the one on the right Chanyeol was trying to make some sense into him to realize that it wasn"t his fault.
    I also suggest "Miracles of December"

  • @batlanterns

  • @rubbadubbs3242
    @rubbadubbs3242 2 года назад +28

    If you want a good EXO guide the best options are the solo guides by the channel Cesar Oh, or the 50 minute group guide called the Ultimate guide to EXO. Tbh I have yet to see better guides, and while both options are good, I do lean towards the 50 minute guide. If you decide to go with that then maybe you could split it up into 2 or 3 parts? I know you're looking for shorter guides, but you're not going to find any good ones mainly because of how much info needs to be covered considering EXO as been a group since 2011.

  • @anastasiiaiu4267
    @anastasiiaiu4267 2 года назад +19

    The MV is actually a short version, but the song itself is a full version! You can hear it in the live performance in Exo'r'dium (their 3rd concert if im not mistaken), you'll see the lightsabers and water on that stage! It's a really fun live performance!
    Their winter albums is a MUST in this season! My journey with them started with their winter songs, so all the winter albums are quite special for me

  • @Pitapat819
    @Pitapat819 2 года назад

    The honest answer is that the EXO songs that I play the most are the ballads and chill songs haha. That’s because of my listening habits, i.e., when I listen to music. So I don’t replay the fast songs much, instead I rewatch them on live stages.

  • @sumyatthandar2590

    EXO have so much influence on international pop culture that big western companies, such as Disney are coming to them and asking them to partner with them. "Lightsaber" was a collaboration between Disney, which owns the Star Wars franchise, and EXO as a way to help Disney promote the most recent release of their Star Wars movie "The Force Awakens".
    Disney actually approached SM Entertainment and asked them if they would be willing to create a song and MV centered around the Star Wars theme as a way to promote the upcoming release of their newest installment of the Star Wars movie across Asia. So SM came up with "Lightsaber" -- which is actually a sort of remix of a song that SM already had also called "Lightsaber." -- and the accompanying MV. (The original version of "Lightsaber" was used in one of Kai's pre-debut teaser videos.) And because EXO is one of the biggest groups across Asia, with one of the largest fan bases, it's not surprising that "Lightsaber" as a song and MV got a lot of recognition around the world. And because of its popularity, SM came up with an epic iconic concert stage for the song as well.
    One of the reasons why SM agreed to partner with Disney on this project was because it fit so well with EXO's storyline and concept. As aliens from Planet Exo, it makes sense that EXO might be Jedis as well. :D
    Although, as you heard, they have a Korean version -- and, because it's EXO, they also have a Mandarin version of "Lightsaber" -- the song is actually one of EXO's Japanese songs. So, on top of it being a promotional video, because it was also released as a Japanese song, that is one reason why I think the MV is so short. Traditionally, most Japanese MVs use an abridged version of the song. I think It's part of Japan's marketing strategy to make you buy the song or album in order to hear the full song. So, most of the time, to hear the whole song you have to see it live in concert or listen to the studio version. I personally like the sound of the Japanese version the best. :D
    Yes, all the members of EXO sing on this track, but in the MV you only see Baekhyun, Kai and Sehun. I'm not sure why SM chose to only include these members in the MV, but I am sure it probably has to do with EXO's storyline. As you may have noticed they seem to be on a mission. For example, we see Sehun in the hotel and he is in walking down the hall with all the doors on both sides of them. As part of EXO's storyline, it is thought hat EXO uses doors as portals to other dimensions or ways to travel throughout history. So theories speculate that one of the things the members are doing is searching for the right door that will allow them to escape or travel to each other, etc.
    I also think that the scene with Sehun on the motorcycle is connected to the fact that we see Sehun sitting on a motorcycle in EXO's "Tempo" MV and also in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV.
    Also, at the very end we see the lights come back on in the dark hallway of the hotel. I think this is showing Baekhyun using his power of light. He may have turned the lights off to conceal something, then as he exits the space, the lights pop back on.
    If you want to see an amazing performance and get a chance to hear the full song performed by the whole group with some great choreography and some Jedi moves, you have to check out the live concert performance of "Lightsaber" in Japan. That performance takes "Lightsaber" to a whole other level. ruclips.net/video/LPvI2gR6sxM/видео.html
    Rumor has it that an executive from Disney happened to catch EXO's performance of "El Dorado" at one of their concerts -- in which EXO also has choreography that uses lightsaber-like lightsticks -- and that's how they were inspired with the idea to ask EXO to collaborate with them on this Star Wars project.
    Also, as one of the big 3 entertainment companies in Korea and around the world, SM has had a relationship with Disney for a long time now. SM has partnered with Disney to produce programs for Disney Channel Korea in the past. Many of the members of NCT got their start pre-debut as members of Korea's Mickey Mouse Club and they starred on the well known variety show which aired on Disney Channel Korea.
    The show was hosted by Leeteuk from Super Junior and the guests on the show each week were SM artists.
    And NCT-127 also performed on Mckey's 90th birthday celebration TV special in the U.S. a few years ago, as well.

    I find that I rarely listen to Exo's studio projects, except Obsession. I listen to the live concerts. There is a live version of Lightsaber from their 3rd tour, the EXO'rDIUM. You'll find performances from Seoul and Tokyo on RUclips. I think you'll find EXO-Ls who prefer one over the other, but I don't think you'd go wrong with either pick. They go where you are expecting.

    Sing for You is a gorgeous song. Their winter albums are so special. I don’t usually love ballads but Exo does them so well. I think because they put so much emotions into their vocals. Also I play lightsaber before watching Star Wars films of course. It’s fun.

    Sing for you - EXO went from 12-9 members as all but Lay in the China line was gone. Storyline wise they kind of interweave the loss of these members without really referencing them as Tao could control time, Kris could fly and Luhan was telepathic/telekinetic. So we see them almost talk without words, fly in space and reverse time. Plot theories go with that they were killed by the red force and we just ignore the part of the prophecy that said all 12 had to reunite in the end with the two trees of the two world together and defeat the red force that had destroyed their world previously. Lightsaber live is way better with actual lightsabers in rain and all members, lol would also recommend you watch Eldorado live too but it’s a live stage so be careful.
    The group wrote a song (lay wrote and chanyeol worked on) Promise that was their apology for fans and asking them to stay with them when the other members left. It’s quite emotional for both EXO and EXO’LS. there is a live of this where even bae tears up and that’s rare for him. He also breaks voice singing paper cuts when he suddenly realises Xumin has to go after this concert for enlistment and was the first member to do so.

    Obviously there are already comments talking about Lightsaber in particular, but you say perhaps it's, "...nothing that is *big* in terms of EXO's discography," and honestly I wouldn't consider that to be true for ANY EXO song. I've seen probably every b-side mentioned by fans as favorites, as recommendations, etc. Every title track, b-side, and concert performance has a fanbase, so to speak, from what I've seen in my years as an EXO-L.
