Yunyi: No minor
Yunyi: Is that minor resolution later?
Umu: Oh GD
Umu: I kinda made up the chord progressions too
Sorry

Umu: I'M SORRY. DON'T HATE ME Yunyi: Were those PARALLEL FIFTHS
*Rossini Semiramide Overture plays*
Jarod: You don't bite soup you drink it (what led up to this lol)
Umu: Ok you guys ready this is BTS (Army where you at)
This song is called Save Me. This was released when Fire was released
Yunyi: When Fire was released?
Umu: Yeah!
Umu: So I should've had you react to this a while ago but I didn't because I don't know Yunyi: Wait, is this also BTS
Umu: Yes
Kevin: Wait which one's Fire, the first-
Umu: Fiiiyaaaaaaaahhhhh Kevin: Ooooh
Kevin: Long, long ago
Umu: Press play, loudly (her secret editing tips lol)

Jarod: mouths "lift off"
(Jarod's extra level is almost at Jackson Wang)
*Wink*
Kevin: Did you get that
Jarod: Alright
Kevin: I like it (literally less that 5 seconds)
Ooh yeah
Kevin: There's like a five of minor (v) , five of six (v/VI)
You know it just makes you wanna do that
*Fiona snap*
Fiona: I like the
*cluck*
It's like electronic woodblock am I right

Jarod: pluck dem heart strings
Henry: Octaves and low bass makes me like *spasms*
Fiona: I really like the-
sound of this ya know
peyton: mMMMMMM
Yunyi: Oh that hair!
Fiona: It's like electronic Marimba
Jarod: I should do that, like crimson red (comment if you want Jarod to dye his hair)
Kevin: Man the shot though
Hugo: Digging the nature thing after they put so many inside, in so many techno stuff. I'm diggin the nature aspect of it
Kevin: Oh yeah, alright alright I'm liking this
Davis: Oh we got some dancing let's gooooo
Jarod: They're in sync
Hugo: Ooh they add more members
Henry: Oh they do halftime that's pretty Dope
Yunyi: The dancing is so good
Kevin: Woob woob and then the camera goes woob woob too
Henry: Halftime is dope in trap music
Lindsey: I like- you know what I like
Davis: This halftime
Lindsey: Let me tell you what I like
this melodic line-
Jarod: Dang
Kevin: This is good
Lindsey: Could easily go over an acoustic- just piano or just piano and guitar backing track but instead they make it
unce unce unccse uncse
Kevin: Moonshine
Yunyi: Did you hear that hemiola with the wubs
Hugo: Yeah get it boys !
Fiona: He looks so cool, he's just stumblin around
Lindsey: It's really catchy. I already feel myself wanting to sing along
Kevin: Woah, Oh man!
Yunyi: OH butt!
Kevin: Camera work is
Henry: I like that the camera sorta moves-
Yunyi: BUTT!!
Henry: The plane of what they're doing
Fiona: They're such good dancers
Henry: That's the most consistently impressive part with every single kpop video
is that all the dancers are really really good, all of the choreography is amazing
Kevin: Aw man when he pulls it and the camera kinda comes
Goodness
There's even some vertigo effect in there
Kevin: I feel like I'm dishing out more film references than music references. Umu: Yeah
Gwen: I just can't get over the fact that this is one shot, that's so impressive Hugo: Yeah
Hugo: Omg it's so cool
Yunyi: I'm waiting for the hemiola to come back
Hugo: Is it me or does it look cold as f*** where they are
Gwen: Oh I'm sure it looks freezing
Lindsey: I feel like it would be just so, nice and liberating feeling to just be standing out in
the middle of a kinda gloomy field and just dancing and moving around without anyone else there
peyton: save mehh
Yunyi: There it is
Kevin: Oh yeah, dun dun dun dun
Peyton: Oh double time
Yunyi: Oh ironing man who has wrinkles
That part in fire where he's ironing the man, wow it makes sense
I did not expect that part to make sense
Jarod: Oh that contrast that's like intense and just stops
Herny: So these lyrics make perfect sense and they're poetic!
(Yas HuGwen singing)
Kevin: Oh that's it
That's not a one
hugo: ...
Yunyi: That was a one
Hugo: I wanted there to be more
Hugo: I wanted there to be more Gwen: Boy meets
Hugo: Evil
yes, they've already seen WINGS, Boy Meets Evil & Blood Sweat & Tears
Kevin: It's a major song
Yunyi: No it's not
Kevin: Duh dun duun
Kevin: Yeah no it's a major. Yes it is Yunyi: No it's not
Kevin: Let's go back
weRE GNA GO BACK
Kevin: I feel like- I know I know
Because the d flat comes first, the b minor sounds like
that sounds like the real I
Kevin: Like that doesn't sound like a real I that just sounds inconclusive Yunyi: No
Yunyi: No
Kevin: That sounds like one those Chinese pieces that ends all like
Yunyi: It sounds inconclusive because it landed on the third
of the minor i, ok
Kevin: No no it's not because of that
yunyi: it's in minor!!!
kevin: maybe we hear it differently!
kevin: CAT FIGHT
Yunyi: theory is tearing us apart :')
Hugo: That was really cool
And their vocal lines are soo good
Hugo: They have really good control over their vocal abilities
Gwen: Yeah they do they like-
Hugo: They know how to riff, they know how to sing in high
oh manh
The androgynous singer in
Gwen: Omg yeah yeah yeah
Hugo: Very good
Gwen: I'm so into their faces
Hugo: I'm so into... /them/
Jarod: That was cool
it's about like-
I really dug the dancing
I feel inspired
Kevin: The intro was the best part
Umu: Ok
Kevin: But the best part is the *dances*
Yunyi: It's a minor (I thought we moved on from that XD)
Umu: That''s the rap part
Yunyi: Yeah I'm not taking anyone's opinion, it's in minor
Yunyi: Definitive minor for me Kevin: Ok, man she's still going on about
Yup it's in minor
Umu: Ok
So you're agreeing with her
Kevin: Yes
Yunyi: Yeah
Kevin: Until the camera
Fiona: I like the ticking of the clock it makes you feel nervous
like oh something's gonna run out of time and I'm gonna die
I don't know, like acoustically it was really cool
sounds were awesome
I liked that it wasn't too thick of orchestration
I like the twinkly little dljdldj, the electronic gock block
Henry: The half step motion was like wwahhhwooahh at the end of the thingy and I was like Oh whaat
Yunyi: I think it's really interesting how BTS' songs are really divided into like, half of their songs seem to be like
I'm young or like I'm the best and look at me you can't do things better than I do, anarchy, fire, dope, whatever
and then the other half is like save me, I need your love,
This sort of, almost kinda by watching this is like a cry for help
From my standpoint. Not as in the members need help, but like the roles that they're playing
Is showing this extremely vulnerable side
I thought that was
Umu: That's beautiful
Yunyi: That's a really cool thing to their stuff. It's very divisive in that sense
I do really appreciate how chummy they are and how not intimate in the relationship sense, but how intimate they are with each other
How they have a lot of hugging
and I say gay becuase I just really want it to happen (SAME ME TOO)
but I really appreciate that
I really appreciate how it sort of deconstructs expectations for masculinity
In that sense and they're just you know, a really great group of friends and they're not afraid to show it
Yunyi: Yeah, good for them Kevin: Good stuff, I agree I totally agree
Yunyi: It's refreshing you know
Hugo: It's so hard to choose because I really like their music, but I really like some of the other groups we've seen too
It's hard to tell mmmmm
I don't know I can't claim favorites yet
Gwen: I don't know I kind of agree
Hugo: But they're definitely up there don't get me wrong they're like way f***ing up there Gwen: Oh yeah
Hugo: Ok well this has been your evening report, your reaction for BTS. Thank you adn we'll see you next time on HTDTV with Gwen and Hugo
Hugo: Have a good rest of your night Gwen: HTDTV
Hugo: Shhhhhhh
