From an Interview with V wrote Blue & Grey, he talks about what he wishes the song will do: "V: Rather than just some stranger telling them to cheer up, I think it's better to say something like, “You seem depressed lately,” or, “Seems like these days it's tough for you to perk up.” "Blue & Grey” is the same: "You're depressed lately? Me too. We're in the same boat. Wanna talk about how you're feeling? You wanna feel better, right? I know, but sometimes it feels like you're being washed away by a whirlpool of stress.” I want the listeners to hear me saying that to them."
When they were doing their closing statements during their online concert, Jimin completely broke down in tears and told us how frustrated and overwhelmed he felt about the situation. The fact that they choose to share their vulnerability with millions of people is so amazing. I think that's what Life Goes On is so special. They're telling us that they feel the same way we do, that they understand, and that's why this song is so comforting. You hit the nail on the head with that interpretation. Also can I just say you're the only reactor who has actually understood the bike scene in LGO. Everyone is like "huh? what's with the bike?" lol it's something so small, but that fact that you got that he was sad about not being able to bike while everyone else is confused made me laugh.
I also think that bts were surprised by the army videos at the concert as their either didn't know it was going to be in real-time or that it was as good as it was. I remember Jin going a bit quiet at times and looking around in awe. So bitter sweet.
An mv reaction within the first 24 hours is totally fine. I'm an older Army and that "rule" was because of the old way RUclips counted streams. They've changed it, so we're not strict about that kind of thing anymore. A full album listen, however (like this), is better after 24 hours. No true Army would watch it, imo.
why doe it matter if you can't stream on a loop an HAVE to watch other videos of the views to count? I always think that reactions are perfect for that spot.
@@KaterynaM_UA the 24 hour rule is because a lot of non-army people are curious about the mv but don't want to give bts views so they watchc it through reactions
@@ecem3861 well if they specifically don't want to do it they won't give us views even if there are no reactions, don't you think? Why should armys and bts reactors be altering their experience with the MV according to what antis do? Seems very backwards to me.
"they quarantined together" kfnsdk i forget non avid fans might not know that these boys can't stay away from each other for like 2 days or they start missing the other so it's good they put that in the video
@@myheartwillstopinjoy8142 don't forget that jimin also made some videos about him missing hoseok because he was alone in their room (hoseok was at his home for a few days if i'm not mistaken) and it's hilarious 😂 the poor little mochi cannot stand being separated from his members for too long
fun fact: Blue & Grey is a song about working through and staying strong through gloominess and anxiety. also, for the song Blue & Grey, Taehyung was originally going to put it on his mixtape but ended up putting it on the album. he worked on the song with one of his friends outside of BTS called NIve, who has a video on the breakdown of the song Blue & Grey. all the sounds you hear and how it was put together. watching NIve's In The Lab video will give you a lot of insight on what went into that song. one things he explains is that, although you can't really hear it, there is a heartbeat sound in the background that they added to try and add a sense of comfort, because as babies and humans we feel soothed by heartbeats. once you know it's there, and where it is, you can't unhear it. the sentiment put into just that song itself is astonishing. the rest of the songs are phenomenal too, we just have an extra insight on Blue & Grey thanks to NIve, who is another great feel-good, accept yourself artist.
Jimin and Bill... The saga continues😂😂😂 JK (the youngest member) actually directed the Life Goes On MV... They were all so heavily involved in ALL aspects of this album... A lot more involved than they've ever been (and they've always been super involved) so this album feels even more comforting Bill if you feel a part of Army... You are a part of army
YES I can't stress this enough but some people give this feeling of , "if you don't know you're not a real army" or "you're not an army if you don't do this or like that" especially with this compilations of moments that REAL army's know , of course that after being an army for at least 5 years , those moments are really special But being an army is really just about feeling RIGHT when listening to their music
it’s insane how easily you pick up the songs’ message, thank you for your amazing videos and your insight i loved this video and i’m glad you liked the album too
answering the question: try and wait 24 hours after the release, newer army’s will stray away from streams and watch reaction channels, but definitely not like, a week later. Hope this helps!!
I really like the progression of this BTS album. The entire album is about life during the time of C19. The lyrics are pretty relatable. The first few songs on BE address mental health-the loneliness, depression, and anxiety of the pandemic and after the skit/interlude of when BTS debuted at #1 Billboard100 for first time (even in sadness of pandemic something good can happen) in the middle of the album we come out of the pandemic fog and the tracks are more upbeat as we push forward and dance again, because as the title track on the album says..life goes on! Life Goes On and Dynamite are so different on the album as the opening and closing tracks (respectively) is because the entire album is a progression of ‘lows and highs’ feelings we have as we move through the pandemic. Blue&Grey is my favorite song off the album. It’s a song V created for his mixtape but the other members liked it allot so they all decided to include it on BE album..It’s lyrically very poetic and touches on depression and burnout and has some beautiful string arrangements. The song has allot of depth with regards to mental health. I really love and appreciate the reference to the “grey rhino” when it comes to depression: a metaphor for a threat that is obviously coming at you, but you don't take action about.
taehyung's falsetto in blue & grey also broke my heart..you could feel the helplessness in his voice, it sounded like a 'cry for help'...he has such a beautiful vocalist and did an amazing job writing this song.
I’m literally so happy I found your channel. I discovered you when you did your Trying to Stan Billie Eilish series when I was discovering her music. You go into such great detail breaking down everything, even describing the feelings you get from the songs even before diving into the lyrics (especially with BTS songs being in a different language). You nail it every time. I’m about a month or so into my BTS journey, and when I started listening to them I fell in love with the feeling I got listening to their music, weather it’s happy, sad, empowering, uplifting, exciting, etc. Your reaction to their Wings solos had me crying with you even though it was one of my first times listening to some of the songs. I hope more people discover your channel, you are a beautiful soul. 💜
You don’t know how happy I get every time I see you react to BTS!! You just feel the soul of the music!! You are a beautiful person and I wish all the best for you!
"BE" is like a friend who tries to accompany you in your bad moments but tries to motivate you to continue living. BTS said that "BE" is their diary during the pandemic, but they wanted to create this album also to help Army in this difficult period.
watching u get so emotional over finding out about bts made ME want to cry because i remembered a post someone made about how we discover bts at the time we need them the most. their music has always been for the most part understanding and comforting and it's just ,, so refreshing at times. bts' discography is, to say the least, a rollercoaster of emotions lmao
You were asking about translation page, DoolsetBangtan translates BTS content, so I would recommend checking out their translations. They also help contextualize the lyrics (so if it's like a Korean saying, a pun, an old BTS reference, etc.)
Full disclosure: Every time I see your videos, I feel more and more heartwarming love for your amazing personality and stance on life. You are a person, who deserves all the happiness and goodness this world has to offer. If your anxiety tells you, that I'm being even 1% dishonest, when writing this, let me assure you it's lying. I'm sending all the positive energy I can fathom your way. I'm wishing it into the universe, that one day you see yourself for the amazing worthy person you truly are. Thank you for your content. Thank you for being in this world. Because you being here makes the world better. Every. Single. Day. Much love and the best wishes, from your Greek friend in Cyprus P.S.: Your brain says "Driving through the city with a little funky soul!"! I find that wholesome! You go with that funky soul of yours!!! (nevermind that my brain continues to say "...with a little f****ing song! XD)
The way they arrange their songs always very intentionally takes you on a journey! I really appreciate the thought they put into arranging this album, it feels like it comes all the way down to comfort you before it cheers you back up.
I genuinely appreciate the way that you acknowledged and spoke about the mental health issues and general malaise we are collectively feeling during this difficult time. Thank you for putting the helpline info during your reaction to Blue & Grey. I love that song because it so very raw and real.
Your intrigued "oooh" at the same time as Hoseok made me laugh out loud lmao Dis-ease is my fave song on the album cause it's just a BOP (bring back old school hiphop bts pls) while at the same time talking about the really problematic pressure to be productive even when in a pandemic. Lovely video as always and your analyzes are of course once again spot on. Thank u Bill!
actually, fly to my room is more about an individual finding comfort inside of their own room since we are all quarantining (a lyric also says that since we can't go out, we can make our room our world). a lot of people have this connotation of their bedroom being the place where they can let their emotions out and now that's true more than ever. i think that's what they were trying to say more than "let's all hang out in my room". since the chorus does go "let ME fly to MY room". but interpretations are obviously valid, just wanted to say this!!
you're a gem, seriously. I haven't even made it to your reaction yet, but you are such a gem. I love your reactions and I love how open you are. please stay the way you are because you are a beautiful human
For BTS releases it's a 24 hour lockdown. We do this for streams and charting, as well as giving people the time to absorb the music. Like a musical moment of silence in respect to the ones that put so much effort into creating. But as soon as its 24hr + 1 second, it's all clear.
I've got to admit, I don't understand that reasoning: isn't it pretty known that your views for the MV don't count unless you watch 3-5 different videos inbetween? What does it change if I watch a few reaction videos instead of, like, only GRWM and makeup reviews?
@@promisetourself true, we do have to watch videos in-between. But since it’s 3-5 videos shouldn’t they be on the shorter side? Like maybe a song reaction as opposed to an album breakdown? Unless the number of videos doesn’t matter and it’s more focused on time in between? I truly don’t know. But I do tend to save those longer videos for the next day. I wouldn’t be upset with someone for uploading a longer video, but I would save it for later. So if many other people are planning on doing the same, it may be a good idea to just wait to post. But who really knows. 💜💜💜💜
@@promisetourself a lot of the time, it's better to watch BTS-only videos in between, like official mvs and the like. Also, song reactions are too long, usually 8 mins. It also counts to billboard if u listen to the songs on BANGTANTV. Lyric vids and reactions just divides the views somewhere that doesn't benefit BTS in any way. Esp since lyric vids are kind of useless bc the lyrics are already in the music video anyways.
@@promisetourself yes, it is pretty well known that replaying over and over and over again won't count. The suggestion comes mainly for the channels that make uploads of lyric videos that rush to make wrong the translations. Or for the people that will purposly watch only reaction videos because they don't want to give the original content any views. That's why there are so my "bts reacts to _____" videos, it's the name of the clout. Also there are a lot of first minute reactors that don't even like the group or will just watch the video and once it's done will end the video with no contribution. They just post immediately after release to monetize ARMY views. We ask for the 24hrs as a respect to the original content. We can watch other bts created content or videos from other channels that are non bts related inbetween. And it's not a law, it's more of a fandom courtesy to give the original content direct attention during the first day of release. (Edit: autocorrect)
You're such a sweet and honest person, that's why I really like watching your reactions to BTS' music. You really take your time to look into the lyrics, which is rare amongst other reaction chanels. That's why I'll be looking forward to you reacting to their previous and future albums
i *loved* Dis-ease before, but after your interpretation- gosh it is genius also.. Jimin wrote that powerful bridge in 3-4 minutes... i am literally scared of him lol how, it is so perfect and strong
YESS i screamed when i saw this!! I'm so glad you're reacting. I think like one or two days later is probably good, we just try to avoid watching vids during the first 24 hours post-release. Fun fact: they did the video in their apartment! And the last part in black and white was recorded after their virtual concert at the venue. ANOTHER fun fact: BTS just became grammy nominated artists!!! They are nominated for pop duo/group performance with dynamite! Blue and grey was originally for Tae's mixtape, and Stay was the last song on Jungkook's mixtape, but the boys really liked them so they decided to use them in the album. This is a very special album because it's the most involved they've been with everything beyond the music and overall concept, for example, jungkook was the MV's director and even shot some scenes, Jimin was project manager and Tae was visual director for the photoshoots (this is what i'm sure of and what i remember rn) It's a very special piece of art they did
Waiting a couple days does help keep people concentrated on streaming, but I honestly don't mind people posting on the same day too much. People who want to stream will keep doing it. HOWEVER waiting a few days gives time for better translations to come out, and we all know how important lyrics are when it comes to our boys' music :D
I think you might really enjoy "Joji". He is so emotional and really touches your heart. Cool songs of his are "Run", "Gimme love", "Ew", "Sanctuary" and "Slow dancing in the dark".
currently on the verge of having my first episode in like three months and this video helped make things just a little more bearable. thank you for this, bill. thank you.
Fun Fact: Jungkook directed the music video for Life Goes On! He does alot of video editing on the side as Golden Closet Films and it shows some of the behind the scenes of the boys! 💜
I'm so glad you love BTS, you're such a positive army unlike me, who is constantly on anarchy twitter! I hope we all support Dynamite as it is now nominated for a GRAMMY!!!
Their labelmates TXT did a song on their latest mini album much like Life Goes On called We Lost The Summer - it's really nice to see artists acknowledge how hard and different this has been for them.
Thank you, it always amazes me how much you get out of the music and how well you explain the feelings you get from it. I always enjoy your videos, but it makes me even happier when I know the songs beforehand, because your reaction is so wonderfully relatable and the way you just seem to understand these different emotions behind the songs so well makes me feel as if I'm listening to them for the first time again. (Ofc I also enjoy getting to know new artists/songs through your videos)
the album dropped at midnight for me, and once i was done listening to it, before i went to sleep i just thought “that felt like a hug”. it’s so comforting in so many different ways, it just felt like hearing the words of someone who deeply cares about you telling you it’s okay to feel and reassuring you that it won’t always be this way.
29:41 some people have a theory about stay and why it was Jungkook, RM and Jin in this subunit. so Jungkook joined big hit because he liked RM and stayed because of how Jin loved him and treated him like his real brother when he was overwhelmed by the city life and I- I am just glad they have each other
When people do the whole 24 hours wait, you can do either one of these options: 1. You can choose to wait 24 hours and then actually watch and upload. If you like doing it in a livestream format or not, that's up to you. or 2. You can watch it on the day of the release, however, post your reaction at least 24 hours after the premiere time of the video. And I see people have already explained our focus on streaming so I wont get into that, but I'm sure you get the gist of it. :)
What a great review! I've been looking forward to your video, because so often you articulate what I'm also feeling on my first blind listen! Also, despite ongoing trials and sadness and anxiety (all valid), we can all celebrate their first Grammy nomination as a group! There's bound to be a huge range of feels in these trying times, so it's lovely for them to acknowledge that and in turn be rewarded and feel our love being sent back to them.
I keep coming back to this video, especially when I manage to go on longer walks and just enjoy being outside with no people. This is probably the fourth or fifth time I listen to it. Also, if you haven’t listened to them yet, there are a lot of big BTS songs that you would probably like. I would suggest -Fake love -Spring Day -Fire -Anpanman -Mic drop -Butterfly Honestly I could add a lot more songs to this list but I’ll stop😅
You are one of my favorite reactors because you dont feel like a "reactor". There is just something so fresh and new about your style of reacting because you just dont react, you take your time, analyze, and in beautiful words, you express how heach song makes you feel. I really really appreciate your reactions 💜 also how do you get the exact meaning of things without even looking at the lyrics?? You have to be some kind of genius! You are proof that you dont need to know lyrics to a song in order to feel something or some kind of connection 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I loved your reaction! You were so honest, vulnerable, and I couldn’t agree more with everything you were saying and feeling. Seemed like you were feeling the Jimin effect while listening to this album (as we all were). Can’t wait to see more of your reactions.
I love how you try to interpret the songs first in your own way, sharing how each song connects and feels through the melodies, the harmonies and the beats - and thereafter, diving into the lyrics and further explaining the concepts, further weaving your own interpretation with the actual meaning together. I can feel the sincerity through your thoughts and conversation. I'm glad you're one of those that look far deeper than the surface. As Jimin would say, "You nice, keep going!" :)
I lost your channel at one point but yay!!! I found youuuuuuu Thank you for reacting to their album♥ Take care of yourself and I hope you have a very smiley day today
It's so unfortunate that you aren't as recognized as you are in the community. I love your break-downs and discussions! You are so unapologetically emotional/emotive however you are, and you express yourself and relate to feels of the music in such a uniquely relatable way. Thank you for all of your videos, and I want to let you know how much I appreciate you 💜 You deserve so much happiness, but you have every right to feel sad or angry without guilt. Have a good night, and stay safe!
I honestly love watching your videos so much. I truly enjoy seeing you listen to them first without reading the lyrics and actually realize what they wanna tell with their music.I'm glad you listened to this one too,this album truly does bring so much comfort . I feel like we all needed this in these trying times
Your videos always warm my heart. I guess exactly because of the reason you expressed with not wanting other people to be miserable but the morbid commiseration and being heard and validated. I only found BTS in February, right before the pandemic, but I 100% wouldn't have made it through his year without them hearing me and pulling me up, even though we don't speak the same language. And the way you pick up on a message and find things that I didn't even feel or put words to having heard the album a bazillion times, makes my heart happy too.
BTS would enjoy this reaction so much. I think your reaction is exactly what they wanted to achieve. I'm so glad you got it so fast. It took me a little longer, honestly. I love it though.
glad to have found your channel. BTS has made my life better in a million ways. I found them before all this happened earlier this year and they've saved me .
Thank you so much for your review, bill! I seriously love your reactions/reviews so much💜 I get so impressed everytime you ace the meaning of the songs even before looking up the lyrics😂
Thanks so much for this. I'm glad you enjoyed and related so much to this album. It always amazes me how you almost always immediately understand the intention of their songs so correctly. So many reactors only look at the surface but you always listen and relate it to yourself and your life and empathise so much with their messages. I always feel like non-ARMYs that don't know the boys or how they create their music don't really understand that they put a lot of thought into what they do and there is always an intention or certain message they want to present. It makes me happy to see that even people that are not necessarily consuming everything BTS present can and will recognize this if they have an open mind and really pay attention. Thanks for always being open and honest and taking the time to do these videos.
I love how you can pick up on their meaning before you look at the lyrics. I think everyone should watch you. You are so sweet. I purple you ! 💜💜💜 Stay safe !
i just want you to know that there are so many people who support and love you and who are with you. we're all going through it together, right? i hope you can remember that. thank you for doing this, as always
Honestly I am just in awe that you can pretty much pinpoint what the lyrics are gonna be about based on the music alone omg. Like not even just the topic but also like, the progression of feelings, like in Fly To My Room. I hadn't even realised the music itself becomes brighter until you said it even though I'd read the lyrics already but as soon as you said it it made sooo much sense. I thoroughly enjoy these videos
I enjoy your commentary very much-- it provides tons of insight into the strength of your personal character, and the things that are important to you (and so very many of us watching). Thank you for being a solid human-- I am happy to share the planet with you right now. Cheers.
It's amazing how you interpreted Life Goes On perfectly even before reading the lyrics. Music really does transcend language 💜 Edit after watching the whole video: you interpreted every song on point! Also I cry every time you cry :'))
Jeeeeesus I felt this so much! I love your breakdown of LGO and how you figured all those little details like the Stadium they drove by or the dust on RMs bike! Fly to my room might be my favourite at this point 🤗 I live how honest and nostalgic it is but also with a positive vibe and the notion of making the best out of the situation 🤭 Blue and grey made me cry a little when I watched the colorcoded lyric video (I'd probably burst out in tears but I'm a bit of an emotional wreckage so I'm not really able to atm 😅) it's wonderfully honest and sad - like you said, gives an odd, morbid sense of comfort 🤷 Ah Telepathy! I actually had tears in my eyes when I first listened to it even without the lyrics - which is kinda odd tbh - but I get it. It's like they're saying "hey this song's for you, we're here for you and you're doing good" and I needed that so bad! 🤧 Dis-ease got me with that bridge 🤩 and yeah it's that song that gets me hyped up because it doesn't invalidate our current struggles but still tells me to dance and let sh*t go for a few minutes 💃 Oohhhh Stay... Yeah I love the mix of Jin & JKs vocals and RMs rap! It really does feel like a warm hug and so super personal just before the big finale of Dynamite 💜 I don't think I need to comment on dynamite but I absolutely LOVE your singing and dancing along and you got my HYPED up and singing too 🙈🤭💜 Thank you so much for another wonderful reaction! I enjoyed this so much and your commentary and thoughts are always on point in my opinion - I love hearing what you have to say and how you interpret things 🤗 Sending lots of love and comfort your way & stay safe 💜
I am waiting for your reaction to this album. I knew you would get this from the get go. Thank you for this. The album is so reassuring and comforting and so are you. Stay safe. 💜
I always love watching your reactions because it's like watching my initial reactions to songs. I cried so much while listening to this album, and after listening to this album so many times that feeling diluted a little. Watching you explain this album just brought those initial emotions back. It sounds strange, but it's a good thing

I really like the progression of this BTS album. The entire album is about life during the time of C19. The lyrics are pretty relatable. The first few songs on BE address mental health-the loneliness, depression, and anxiety of the pandemic and after the skit/interlude of when BTS debuted at #1 Billboard100 for first time (even in sadness of pandemic something good can happen) in the middle of the album we come out of the pandemic fog and the tracks are more upbeat as we push forward and dance again, because as the title track on the album says..life goes on! Life Goes On and Dynamite are so different on the album as the opening and closing tracks (respectively) is because the entire album is a progression of ‘lows and highs’ feelings we have as we move through the pandemic. Blue&Grey is my favorite song off the album. It’s a song V created for his mixtape but the other members liked it allot so they all decided to include it on BE album..It’s lyrically very poetic and touches on depression and burnout and has some beautiful string arrangements. The song has allot of depth with regards to mental health. I really love and appreciate the reference to the “grey rhino” when it comes to depression: a metaphor for a threat that is obviously coming at you, but you don't take action about.
"Trying to stan BTS" Bill. We need to talk. This is clearly clickbait. I'm pretty sure you stan them by now. 😂💜
lol it's the name of the series and i think it sounds better than 'soft boy with smooth brain discusses BTS BE' hahaha
@@thethirdbill I would watch the heck out of a video titled like that
Only V could break me down crying the moment I hear his voice. Him and Jin on Blue and Gray was lovely melancholic.
taehyung's falsetto in blue & grey also broke my heart..you could feel the helplessness in his voice, it sounded like a 'cry for help'...he has such a beautiful vocalist and did an amazing job writing this song.
Yes, it just felt like something pierced through my soul...
You dancing to Telepathy was so cute 😂🥰
Yes😂💜
25:24 Fun fact: Jimin wrote that bridge in like 3 to 4 minutes. A King. Also it was Jimin singing that last line when you said that hhaha
Bill: "chicken noodle soup"
*Jhope and Becky G have entered the chat*
"That riff can CHOKE ME."
Mood.
I’m literally so happy I found your channel. I discovered you when you did your Trying to Stan Billie Eilish series when I was discovering her music. You go into such great detail breaking down everything, even describing the feelings you get from the songs even before diving into the lyrics (especially with BTS songs being in a different language). You nail it every time. I’m about a month or so into my BTS journey, and when I started listening to them I fell in love with the feeling I got listening to their music, weather it’s happy, sad, empowering, uplifting, exciting, etc. Your reaction to their Wings solos had me crying with you even though it was one of my first times listening to some of the songs. I hope more people discover your channel, you are a beautiful soul. 💜
that really means a lot and i hope we both find more great music! i really needed this today, thank you! :')
Welcome baby army. =0)
awwwwww YES
not me crying throughout this entire video the same way i have been crying non stop since this album dropped
i know you said you’d never stop crying if bts saw your videos but i really wish joon would watch this, i think he’d really appreciate it
i just started the video and i know that he‘s gonna cry at least once
I just started and I've already cried once! 💜
same once blue & grey came on I was like “oh he’s gonna cry during this one”
Jimin is the one hitting those crazy high notes that you love. His voice is amazing 🤩✨
You don’t know how happy I get every time I see you react to BTS!! You just feel the soul of the music!! You are a beautiful person and I wish all the best for you!
"BE" is like a friend who tries to accompany you in your bad moments but tries to motivate you to continue living. BTS said that "BE" is their diary during the pandemic, but they wanted to create this album also to help Army in this difficult period.
watching u get so emotional over finding out about bts made ME want to cry because i remembered a post someone made about how we discover bts at the time we need them the most. their music has always been for the most part understanding and comforting and it's just ,, so refreshing at times.
bts' discography is, to say the least, a rollercoaster of emotions lmao
You were asking about translation page, DoolsetBangtan translates BTS content, so I would recommend checking out their translations. They also help contextualize the lyrics (so if it's like a Korean saying, a pun, an old BTS reference, etc.)
Full disclosure:
Every time I see your videos, I feel more and more heartwarming love for your amazing personality and stance on life. You are a person, who deserves all the happiness and goodness this world has to offer. If your anxiety tells you, that I'm being even 1% dishonest, when writing this, let me assure you it's lying. I'm sending all the positive energy I can fathom your way. I'm wishing it into the universe, that one day you see yourself for the amazing worthy person you truly are. Thank you for your content. Thank you for being in this world. Because you being here makes the world better. Every. Single. Day.
Much love and the best wishes,
from your Greek friend in Cyprus
P.S.: Your brain says "Driving through the city with a little funky soul!"! I find that wholesome! You go with that funky soul of yours!!! (nevermind that my brain continues to say "...with a little f****ing song! XD)
Hee, I hear "a little f'n soul." It makes me giggle. 😄
@@LaynieFingers I'm not aloooone!!!
@@babanaki8528 💜
Dude, I sobbed listening to Be the first time. So many tears.......
I absolutely love how you were able to understand the story the boys were trying to tell even before reading the lyrics!
The way they arrange their songs always very intentionally takes you on a journey! I really appreciate the thought they put into arranging this album, it feels like it comes all the way down to comfort you before it cheers you back up.
fun fact:
BE stands for "Bill is the best rEactor" 💜💜💜
I genuinely appreciate the way that you acknowledged and spoke about the mental health issues and general malaise we are collectively feeling during this difficult time. Thank you for putting the helpline info during your reaction to Blue & Grey. I love that song because it so very raw and real.
stay feels like a song they're hopeful they can play at the end of a concert when they're able to tour again TuT
Jimin's voice is the highlight everytime!
Your intrigued "oooh" at the same time as Hoseok made me laugh out loud lmao
Dis-ease is my fave song on the album cause it's just a BOP (bring back old school hiphop bts pls) while at the same time talking about the really problematic pressure to be productive even when in a pandemic.
Lovely video as always and your analyzes are of course once again spot on. Thank u Bill!
actually, fly to my room is more about an individual finding comfort inside of their own room since we are all quarantining (a lyric also says that since we can't go out, we can make our room our world). a lot of people have this connotation of their bedroom being the place where they can let their emotions out and now that's true more than ever. i think that's what they were trying to say more than "let's all hang out in my room". since the chorus does go "let ME fly to MY room". but interpretations are obviously valid, just wanted to say this!!
They actually live together since debut, they have a dorm where they all live together :)
Jimin’s voice in this album is out of this world 🤯🤯🤯
you're a gem, seriously. I haven't even made it to your reaction yet, but you are such a gem. I love your reactions and I love how open you are. please stay the way you are because you are a beautiful human
For BTS releases it's a 24 hour lockdown.
We do this for streams and charting, as well as giving people the time to absorb the music.
Like a musical moment of silence in respect to the ones that put so much effort into creating.
But as soon as its 24hr + 1 second, it's all clear.
I've got to admit, I don't understand that reasoning: isn't it pretty known that your views for the MV don't count unless you watch 3-5 different videos inbetween? What does it change if I watch a few reaction videos instead of, like, only GRWM and makeup reviews?
@@promisetourself true, we do have to watch videos in-between. But since it’s 3-5 videos shouldn’t they be on the shorter side? Like maybe a song reaction as opposed to an album breakdown? Unless the number of videos doesn’t matter and it’s more focused on time in between? I truly don’t know. But I do tend to save those longer videos for the next day. I wouldn’t be upset with someone for uploading a longer video, but I would save it for later. So if many other people are planning on doing the same, it may be a good idea to just wait to post. But who really knows. 💜💜💜💜
@@promisetourself a lot of the time, it's better to watch BTS-only videos in between, like official mvs and the like. Also, song reactions are too long, usually 8 mins. It also counts to billboard if u listen to the songs on BANGTANTV. Lyric vids and reactions just divides the views somewhere that doesn't benefit BTS in any way. Esp since lyric vids are kind of useless bc the lyrics are already in the music video anyways.
@@promisetourself yes, it is pretty well known that replaying over and over and over again won't count. The suggestion comes mainly for the channels that make uploads of lyric videos that rush to make wrong the translations. Or for the people that will purposly watch only reaction videos because they don't want to give the original content any views.
That's why there are so my "bts reacts to _____" videos, it's the name of the clout.
Also there are a lot of first minute reactors that don't even like the group or will just watch the video and once it's done will end the video with no contribution. They just post immediately after release to monetize ARMY views.
We ask for the 24hrs as a respect to the original content.
We can watch other bts created content or videos from other channels that are non bts related inbetween.
And it's not a law, it's more of a fandom courtesy to give the original content direct attention during the first day of release.
(Edit: autocorrect)
You're such a sweet and honest person, that's why I really like watching your reactions to BTS' music. You really take your time to look into the lyrics, which is rare amongst other reaction chanels. That's why I'll be looking forward to you reacting to their previous and future albums
i *loved* Dis-ease before, but after your interpretation- gosh it is genius
also.. Jimin wrote that powerful bridge in 3-4 minutes... i am literally scared of him lol how, it is so perfect and strong
MISTER. *ARE YOU OKAY?* WILL YOU EVER LISTEN TO BTS WITHOUT CRYING?
Me neither. We'll be okay though! :) 💜 Love Yourself.
This man has the kindest and warmest soul
"It's the music version of free ice cream" 😂 can we be friends
YESS i screamed when i saw this!! I'm so glad you're reacting. I think like one or two days later is probably good, we just try to avoid watching vids during the first 24 hours post-release.
Fun fact: they did the video in their apartment! And the last part in black and white was recorded after their virtual concert at the venue.
ANOTHER fun fact: BTS just became grammy nominated artists!!! They are nominated for pop duo/group performance with dynamite!
Blue and grey was originally for Tae's mixtape, and Stay was the last song on Jungkook's mixtape, but the boys really liked them so they decided to use them in the album. This is a very special album because it's the most involved they've been with everything beyond the music and overall concept, for example, jungkook was the MV's director and even shot some scenes, Jimin was project manager and Tae was visual director for the photoshoots (this is what i'm sure of and what i remember rn)
It's a very special piece of art they did
your interpretations of each song you’ve ever listened to by them is generally so spot on its SO impressive
Waiting a couple days does help keep people concentrated on streaming, but I honestly don't mind people posting on the same day too much. People who want to stream will keep doing it. HOWEVER waiting a few days gives time for better translations to come out, and we all know how important lyrics are when it comes to our boys' music :D
I think you might really enjoy "Joji". He is so emotional and really touches your heart.
Cool songs of his are "Run", "Gimme love", "Ew", "Sanctuary" and "Slow dancing in the dark".

This is such a comforting album
currently on the verge of having my first episode in like three months and this video helped make things just a little more bearable. thank you for this, bill. thank you.
hope everything is okay, (it's okay if things aren't right now) and sending support! :')
Stay strong! Remember it's okay to not be okay :)
@@night_walker2022 thank you :(( it means a lot
@@thethirdbill thank you so much, this means a lot coming from you. thank you for taking the time to put out content that makes us happy, we love you
Fun Fact: Jungkook directed the music video for Life Goes On! He does alot of video editing on the side as Golden Closet Films and it shows some of the behind the scenes of the boys! 💜
Hi everyone, just wanted to leave a virtual hug for whoever needs it. 🤗
Okay, I'm going to get some sleep. Take care of yourself. ❤
As someone that collected that hug - THANK YOU! 🤗 and a hug back to you!
Thanks for the hug. We can all use more of them! I offer my virtual hugs to everyone as well. Big one to you, TuffLike Toph! 💜💜💜💜💜💜🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️

Lmao it's 3am in the uk. I'm gonna sleep now cus of this comment 💜 thanks:)
I'm so glad you love BTS, you're such a positive army unlike me, who is constantly on anarchy twitter! I hope we all support Dynamite as it is now nominated for a GRAMMY!!!
Lmao i stay a w a y from Twitter
Their labelmates TXT did a song on their latest mini album much like Life Goes On called We Lost The Summer - it's really nice to see artists acknowledge how hard and different this has been for them.
I MISSED YOU 💜💜💜. Hope you have been well and healthy.
This whole album felt like just a giant hug to me 😌
Thank you, it always amazes me how much you get out of the music and how well you explain the feelings you get from it. I always enjoy your videos, but it makes me even happier when I know the songs beforehand, because your reaction is so wonderfully relatable and the way you just seem to understand these different emotions behind the songs so well makes me feel as if I'm listening to them for the first time again.
(Ofc I also enjoy getting to know new artists/songs through your videos)
honestly not as much drooling after jimin's vocals as i'd expected from Bill
21:09 haha i love how many times you say “like” here! amazing video, by the way! your interpretations are always on point! 👍👍👍
Another fun fact, the apartment the video was filmed at is their actual dorm
the album dropped at midnight for me, and once i was done listening to it, before i went to sleep i just thought “that felt like a hug”. it’s so comforting in so many different ways, it just felt like hearing the words of someone who deeply cares about you telling you it’s okay to feel and reassuring you that it won’t always be this way.
29:41 some people have a theory about stay and why it was Jungkook, RM and Jin in this subunit. so Jungkook joined big hit because he liked RM and stayed because of how Jin loved him and treated him like his real brother when he was overwhelmed by the city life and I- I am just glad they have each other
You are one of my favourte people, so precious. Thank you for your super kind words
When people do the whole 24 hours wait, you can do either one of these options:
1. You can choose to wait 24 hours and then actually watch and upload. If you like doing it in a livestream format or not, that's up to you.
or
2. You can watch it on the day of the release, however, post your reaction at least 24 hours after the premiere time of the video.
And I see people have already explained our focus on streaming so I wont get into that, but I'm sure you get the gist of it. :)
What a great review! I've been looking forward to your video, because so often you articulate what I'm also feeling on my first blind listen! Also, despite ongoing trials and sadness and anxiety (all valid), we can all celebrate their first Grammy nomination as a group! There's bound to be a huge range of feels in these trying times, so it's lovely for them to acknowledge that and in turn be rewarded and feel our love being sent back to them.
I keep coming back to this video, especially when I manage to go on longer walks and just enjoy being outside with no people. This is probably the fourth or fifth time I listen to it.
Also, if you haven’t listened to them yet, there are a lot of big BTS songs that you would probably like. I would suggest
-Fake love
-Spring Day
-Fire
-Anpanman
-Mic drop
-Butterfly
Honestly I could add a lot more songs to this list but I’ll stop😅
You are one of my favorite reactors because you dont feel like a "reactor". There is just something so fresh and new about your style of reacting because you just dont react, you take your time, analyze, and in beautiful words, you express how heach song makes you feel. I really really appreciate your reactions 💜 also how do you get the exact meaning of things without even looking at the lyrics?? You have to be some kind of genius! You are proof that you dont need to know lyrics to a song in order to feel something or some kind of connection 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I loved your reaction! You were so honest, vulnerable, and I couldn’t agree more with everything you were saying and feeling. Seemed like you were feeling the Jimin effect while listening to this album (as we all were). Can’t wait to see more of your reactions.
I love how you try to interpret the songs first in your own way, sharing how each song connects and feels through the melodies, the harmonies and the beats - and thereafter, diving into the lyrics and further explaining the concepts, further weaving your own interpretation with the actual meaning together. I can feel the sincerity through your thoughts and conversation. I'm glad you're one of those that look far deeper than the surface.
As Jimin would say, "You nice, keep going!" :)
I lost your channel at one point but yay!!! I found youuuuuuu
Thank you for reacting to their album♥ Take care of yourself and I hope you have a very smiley day today
not even watched yet but already commenting cause i freaked out with the notif 😂
It's so unfortunate that you aren't as recognized as you are in the community. I love your break-downs and discussions! You are so unapologetically emotional/emotive however you are, and you express yourself and relate to feels of the music in such a uniquely relatable way. Thank you for all of your videos, and I want to let you know how much I appreciate you 💜
You deserve so much happiness, but you have every right to feel sad or angry without guilt. Have a good night, and stay safe!
Your reaction every time you hear Jimin's voice is so adorable 😂❤
you’re officially my favourite youtuber, your channel makes me feel so safe idk how to explain it 🥺
I honestly love watching your videos so much. I truly enjoy seeing you listen to them first without reading the lyrics and actually realize what they wanna tell with their music.I'm glad you listened to this one too,this album truly does bring so much comfort . I feel like we all needed this in these trying times
Thank you for the serotonin Bill 🥰
Your videos always warm my heart. I guess exactly because of the reason you expressed with not wanting other people to be miserable but the morbid commiseration and being heard and validated.
I only found BTS in February, right before the pandemic, but I 100% wouldn't have made it through his year without them hearing me and pulling me up, even though we don't speak the same language. And the way you pick up on a message and find things that I didn't even feel or put words to having heard the album a bazillion times, makes my heart happy too.
BTS would enjoy this reaction so much. I think your reaction is exactly what they wanted to achieve. I'm so glad you got it so fast. It took me a little longer, honestly. I love it though.
glad to have found your channel. BTS has made my life better in a million ways. I found them before all this happened earlier this year and they've saved me .
Thank you so much for your review, bill! I seriously love your reactions/reviews so much💜
I get so impressed everytime you ace the meaning of the songs even before looking up the lyrics😂
Thanks so much for this. I'm glad you enjoyed and related so much to this album. It always amazes me how you almost always immediately understand the intention of their songs so correctly. So many reactors only look at the surface but you always listen and relate it to yourself and your life and empathise so much with their messages.
I always feel like non-ARMYs that don't know the boys or how they create their music don't really understand that they put a lot of thought into what they do and there is always an intention or certain message they want to present. It makes me happy to see that even people that are not necessarily consuming everything BTS present can and will recognize this if they have an open mind and really pay attention.
Thanks for always being open and honest and taking the time to do these videos.
I love how you can pick up on their meaning before you look at the lyrics. I think everyone should watch you. You are so sweet. I purple you ! 💜💜💜
Stay safe !
i just want you to know that there are so many people who support and love you and who are with you. we're all going through it together, right? i hope you can remember that. thank you for doing this, as always
i really appreciate that and needed to see this today. thank you so much. i hope you and yours are safe and well. :')
@@thethirdbill you're very welcome! i wish you and yours stay safe and happy as well
Honestly I am just in awe that you can pretty much pinpoint what the lyrics are gonna be about based on the music alone omg. Like not even just the topic but also like, the progression of feelings, like in Fly To My Room. I hadn't even realised the music itself becomes brighter until you said it even though I'd read the lyrics already but as soon as you said it it made sooo much sense. I thoroughly enjoy these videos
Thank you so much! I love your reactions! Keep going💜💜💜
I enjoy your commentary very much-- it provides tons of insight into the strength of your personal character, and the things that are important to you (and so very many of us watching). Thank you for being a solid human-- I am happy to share the planet with you right now. Cheers.
It's amazing how you interpreted Life Goes On perfectly even before reading the lyrics. Music really does transcend language 💜
Edit after watching the whole video: you interpreted every song on point! Also I cry every time you cry :'))
Jeeeeesus I felt this so much!
I love your breakdown of LGO and how you figured all those little details like the Stadium they drove by or the dust on RMs bike!
Fly to my room might be my favourite at this point 🤗 I live how honest and nostalgic it is but also with a positive vibe and the notion of making the best out of the situation 🤭
Blue and grey made me cry a little when I watched the colorcoded lyric video (I'd probably burst out in tears but I'm a bit of an emotional wreckage so I'm not really able to atm 😅) it's wonderfully honest and sad - like you said, gives an odd, morbid sense of comfort 🤷
Ah Telepathy! I actually had tears in my eyes when I first listened to it even without the lyrics - which is kinda odd tbh - but I get it. It's like they're saying "hey this song's for you, we're here for you and you're doing good" and I needed that so bad! 🤧
Dis-ease got me with that bridge 🤩 and yeah it's that song that gets me hyped up because it doesn't invalidate our current struggles but still tells me to dance and let sh*t go for a few minutes 💃
Oohhhh Stay... Yeah I love the mix of Jin & JKs vocals and RMs rap! It really does feel like a warm hug and so super personal just before the big finale of Dynamite 💜
I don't think I need to comment on dynamite but I absolutely LOVE your singing and dancing along and you got my HYPED up and singing too 🙈🤭💜
Thank you so much for another wonderful reaction! I enjoyed this so much and your commentary and thoughts are always on point in my opinion - I love hearing what you have to say and how you interpret things 🤗
Sending lots of love and comfort your way & stay safe 💜
i can't put into words just how much i love this review/reaction. hearing you describe and interpret everything was so comforting idk why
I am waiting for your reaction to this album. I knew you would get this from the get go. Thank you for this. The album is so reassuring and comforting and so are you. Stay safe. 💜
Once again Bill with an amazing video!!! Thank you so much for the love and care you have for music and BTS. You're awesome!
This is the album we all needed. I loved your reaction and thoughts about the songs!
I always love watching your reactions because it's like watching my initial reactions to songs. I cried so much while listening to this album, and after listening to this album so many times that feeling diluted a little. Watching you explain this album just brought those initial emotions back. It sounds strange, but it's a good thing
