Lindsey: They really like the whole like color drop kind of thing
Someone drop something they drink and when you look at it, there were like a bunch of colors

yunyi: mm hmm kevin: that's it
gwen: that's a very interesting- hugo: sings
gwen: I wish i could riff like that
ooh Yeah,
kevin: oh those legs. Oh that was such a pretty profile. kevin: Oh, oh this legs. both: Ohhhhhh
my heart! kevin: *continues to 'oh'* beyonce can't top that
OHHH, they're in a painting. and it's
Beautiful
this song uses less symphonic instruments and more electronic instruments but i'm reeeally digging it gwen: but it still works
shimon: oh, paint
Yeah
There was no bow and arrow in the videos right? shimon: apple
naoki: have we seen an apple yet? shimon: Yeah, we have. not in this video but in a past one.
like willima- naoki: ohh William Tell! right! *i have no idea what they're talking about here tbh*
hugo: his voice is so high (gwen: I LOVE IT) it sounds like a woman. It's so good
gwen: sounds better than a woman. hugo: He does
If there's any CGI in these videos, I can't tell
but that's how falsetto should sound (still talking bout jimin) like light, but still with tone
fiona: this is...this is so deep
henry: *GASP* WHAT THE-
that was cool to the background with the painting but he was sitting up on like the windowsill and jumped off
wow man that's dope
You could say it's a period, right?
it's a two plus two form
in which the first half is a half cadence and then the- shimon: ohhh they're fine again
OH! YES! yunyi: ohmygosh kevin: give it to me
Oh My God
if there was a lot of hype about this video coming out before it came out
It definitely like lived up to the hype
both: OHMYGOOOD
OHH
oh god it's so high- listen
oh...that's interesting
he's gna let go of the balloon he's gna lose the balloon

Wow, I thought there was gonna be like a drop there, but it went into the rap mon narration davis: deceptive
naoki: oh this is really cool
goodness
shimon: that contrast naoki: blood shimon: it's ridiculous naoki: and death shimon: holy cow. organ? naoki: that's very ominous
lindsey: the f- church organ? davis:....sick
gwen: are those the pipes???
fiona: I love Organ by the way- i'm A fan
yunyi: we need an organ major here kevin: i think it's a bach trio sonata. that's my first guess.
naoki: it's bach for sure, right
I'm going to look it up after this video
it's gna be eve? shimon: it's probably one of the members
oh what was that...that was freaky shimon: wings. black wings.
yunyi: so far it sounds like a solo piece kevimn: no Trio as a Trio sonatas are for working solo. yunyi: Oh, (umu: guys!) kevin: yes
ohh man
i swear on everything...if that thing moves..
shimon: Oh, tht's terrifying naoki: yeah, I thought it was gollum at first or something
jarod: what the peyton: wow oh wow
lindsey: OH WHAT THE F*CK
Whoa, whoa jarod: WHOA...
i knew it. i knew that for some reason that they were Gonna kiss?
shimon: wings naoki: oh he was a fallen angel
hugo: holy f-
*yunyi fangirls* *umu looses shit*

yunyi: *still fangirling* sorry
What
whoa
oh that pitch distortion! ohhhh
davis: oh
He's tur- It's the statue
his face is cracking now. Put some lotion on that or somethin
...oh what
what
there you go! henry: wow fiona: that was crazy umu: well you had it fiona: i'm glad we watched that henry: i'm confused
I was like everything iss about to make a lot of sense right now
And then it got more confusing
well umu: did you make up your own theory? henry: i don't have time
I think it's all about birbs. everyone's a birb.
umu: ok that's your theory *to fiona* do you have a theory?
that's not a real theory. i'm just making a joke about birbs.
Everyone dead. (umu: ok) except for jin. he's the only one alive. henry: i don't think they're dead- just that they were never really alive. I think they
are kind of like- he's their sort of leader person and everyone else is just kind of like a little part
heee has schizophrenia and has like four- how many char- people are in this group?
well six plus him. fiona: he has schizophrenia and there's six people including himself inside of his own mind henry: wel that would be multiple personality disorder fiona: multiple-
Yeah, and what do you think of the music?
Yeah I really liked it. henry: this one was pretty good. fiona: Yeah, it got really hype really fast
what
I mean- if we're coming up with theories
i feel like he like fell from Grace or something like that
No, but kind of the opposite those wings were like black
no i- look he obviously used to have wings and that statue was representation somebody he used to know
Boy meets evil peyton: and he was just like (jarod: he's evil) "Yo, what's up"
ieeeee
Music is cool
it was definitly bouncin. mv was cool cuz it was the most song-like, other apart from boy meets evil, this is the most like...traditional kpop
Kind of vibe. but wow umu: was it weird coming from like the short films with like
Not like all the members to suddenly this? jarod: yeah where it's like full cast
well f*ck son. damn. (gwen: do we need-)
just pause it just pause it gwen: f*ck me *sings* upppppp
*sings* f*ck me dowwwwnn
hashtag when you accidentally make it magical
woooww
i like how it's not as over the to- like it doesn't you know?
It's like it's still equally artsy
But it's not as it's a more traditional music video-y which I can appreciate after all the short films we watched today.
They won...At like that MAMA awards they won best album of the year kevin: it's a good one. yunyi: they gotta win some awards for this kevin: solid... good stuff
What do you guys think about song like musically like yunyi: progression wise it was not the most
interesting kevin: it was yunyi: but it was very catchy
It's instrumentally satisfying
yeah it's satisfying but it's like
we would heard this progression before it's not- it was more like it dazzled on like how extremely well was produced, mixed and like themimicked and like the
Choices and the actual instruments and the rapping is pretty solid
that was pretty awesome (umu: blood sweat and tears man) davis: I now see why
Thousands and thousands and thousands of comments asking us to watch this video
It all makes sense. really good. So what do you like about it specifically davis: um?
Well, I definitely liked watching all of the videos
Beforehand and being and will be like oh yeah, it's a remember that in this video, and oh yeah
See that was in this video
And then you had this really interesting thing that was created where it was like you have this expectation for the video
But then like because you see the symbols from the other videos
But what they did was they they presented it in a way that like you couldn't really guess lindsey: yeah
lindsey: i was just...kinda thrown for a loop. a little bit. umu: mhm. story wise? and then music?
lindsey: oh it was awesome davis: Yeah, I mean, lindsey: it was just very catchy it was very like- davis: it had everything you want
It didn't allow you to like get comfortable because I feel like if you get too comfortable
Then you stop listening, and so I think I did a good job of keeping you engaged, and like-
There wasn't much that we can like actually analyze about it was it was it was kind of just very like upbeat like I would
hang out while
This is playing like davis: true lindsey: like I don't want to call it party music because I don't know if that's the right
Thing to say about it because it's not really
davis: but i would play that at a party lindsey: but like I would have that like playing as background music
You know people would like low-key vibe to it while they're hanging out davis: but the music video...holy shit. lindsey: yeah
so musically
naoki: the last one was the best. shimon: oh yeah. (naoki: Yeah) that was solid naoki: yeah
so you've seen all the short films. naoki: Yeah
and intro: boy meets evil.....
Did this answer any of your questions? naoki: I guess it does in a way. I feel like maybe it's a guy
Going from good to bad progresively
after he kills his dad he goes through all these different like
Moments, and it's Super representation of his psycho, so I like in a state. his mental state
shimon: but they're all individual people right not just symbolizing one person? naoki: but I feel like they all as a group they symbolize bTS and
Bts is one representation of someone shimon: sure sure
I guess compared to like the first like set series or trilogy right? (umu: HYYH) Yeah?
naoki: i didn't see that so i can't compare shimon: I definitely does give the feeling...like ya know-
the Progressing from like the first set or hyy-
whatever. that was like them
doing the act and then like the short films was like the
the Consequences and them dealing with like you know they were all trapped in like a-
Insane asylum or like yeah like trapped in a box, or is like trapped in a certain way
And then this was like them breaking through almost
That's what I got
mmm no, not quite yunyi: wait you want to go back to that part?
It's not what I just played. yuni: it does sound like bach tho. (kevin: Yeah) it sounds like *sings*
Yeah
It's not that one, but it's the same progression in the opening. God but bach had so many organ works kevin: a lot
yunyi: how are we gna find this kevin: it's not toccata and fugue. Let's start with that. yunyi: no, it's way too slow kevin: scratch that one off
nope,
or I Guess we can just go to this video and someone probably would ask "what's organ piece?" kevin: That's right
They would have answered it, but where's the fun in that?
No, I'm gonna win again
no I'm just going to search it up. yunyi: i'm gna scroll down through the comments and see if anyone- kevin: see who finds it first
*still can't find it*
Okay
It's also very well recorded yunyi: ok first of all
Is it d minor? kevin: yes it's in D minor- congrats
Thanks, umu: what key is the original song in?
B Minor I think yunyi: oh nice key relations, umu: oh what? oh D and- b and d minor both: kind of
not even the reddit
page for this has it in the comments
Okay, so we're doing a service to the fan base by looking this up kevin: passacaglia in D minor found it.
yunyi: oh kevin: By whom!?!?!? yunyi: Piano version!? *umu clicks* no no no kevin: we need to find the composer
yunyi: *says dudes name* *i dont want to butcher spelling* umu: da- no, dabreech bufftaheahs yunyi: Oh, oh BUXTEHUDE!!!!! kevin: ofc yunyi: oh he's such an underrated composer
Yeah, this is the first piece where I actually genuinely like buxtehude b/c i haven't heard anything by him yunyi: are you serious? i love buxtehude!
kevin: well now I'm gonna listen to more of him
We ought to find the original we gotta find the original yunyi: but why would you play buxtehude on piano?
yunyi: that's a little upsetting umu: Do you want to do just- kevin: no, I'm gonna. I'm gonna. Oh, it's short, Passacaglia. Oh
Passacaglia's are usually long
It's in thw wrong key
yunyi: baroque tuning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
is it bugging you, do you want me to- yunyi: nononono kevin: it's bugging me (*has perfect pitch*)
yunyi: no- cmon! mean tone.
yeah, i'm mean to the tone
we finally find the piece after like seven minutes ah
yunyi & umu: AHHHHHHHH
kevin: bi-tonality xD
