Umu: And it's your favorite Hugo: YES
Gwen: Wait is this him, he's doing solo stuff Umu: This is Leo

Solo-ey collab-y (That's the technical term lol)
Hugo: I'm so excited Gwen: Also it's called Blossom Tears so I already know I'm in for a rough time
Umu: So this is a collab between an artist called LYn and Leo of VIXX

Umu: Blossom Tears Kevin: Emma thanks for your- Yunyi: THREETWOONE *Click*
Kevin: Thanks for your passionate, amazing...
(kevin that makes no grammatical sense)
Ben: Alright Naoki: Very acoustical (Ben killed Shimon this time)
Ben: Acoustical XD Naoki: I like it
Lindsey: What is that
I mean there's like a string section but there was something that almost sounded like a distorted banjo
Henry: Oooh they're in loovveeeee (Henry put your tongue away omg)
Peyton: She better not disappear (The biggest pet peeve of the reaktors)
Jarod: Or she dies
Peyton: True
Jarod: How bout dat
Ben: His voice is pretty high
Kevin: Oh yeah I like the kick drum
Naoki: it's also quite breathy isn't it
Jarod: They look so happy (For now)
(Jk I don't know I've legit never seen this)
Jarod: Too bad love is a myth (I was gonna make a joke but I lowkey agree with him)
Fiona: What just happened Henry: Woooaaahhhh
Lindsey: And then he threw her to the ground
Hugo: Oh god- wait less happy and cute
Ben: It's pretty sappy with the strings
and.. Naoki: Oh yeah
Yunyi: oh wait where did-
Kevin: I like it Yunyi: What just happened
Gwen: Her voice is not
Hugo: YEaaahhhhh Gwen: She's not supporting enough *gasp* wait
Peyton: Man I like this groove, it's like
It's super R&B.. OOHhHHH Jarod: Wait you see all the pills on the ground
Peyton: Are those pills
Jarod: Dat no good
Kevin: Oh my soul
(Quick note, the literal first part of TWICE's signal is stuck in my f***ing head)
Oh she just
Naoki: I do feel my tears blossoming though (get out)
Naoki: I don't even know what they're saying but it sounds so- touching. I'm just like UGH Ben: I think it's too cheesy, it's too muc
Lidnsey: That just went- this song is just constantly switching between major and minor
Kevin: F Ab F
Davis: Just like the effects of bipolar disorder
Hugo: He is also a little breathier in this song
Hugo: and I'm not a big fan of it Gwen: Yeah but he's still supporting it
Fiona: He's a sh*t
Henry: wow
Hugo: you still hear the core of his voice inside of it though Gwen: Yeah
Henry: I didn't know I was gonna feel right there but I kinda just did
Hugo: Why you gotta be so angsty
Your girl love you
and you just bein like nah (omg here we go)
Henry: The feels on the bus go round and round
Lindsey: It was because they were having a great time then all of a sudden he shoved her to the ground and like...
Davis: Minor
Yunyi: Their voices have really similar timbres sometimes I think it's- Kevin: Yeah, right
Yunyi: Both of them singing or-
Henry: He, doesn't know how to love her
Gwen: Their voices do sound very good together Hugo: They do
Kevin: Octave duet never sounded so good
Yunyi: Right I was thinking the same thing Kevin: Yeah
Peyton: Dude this is like bringing me back to so many R&B songs like they have the really artificial clap
Ben: He's trying to make the perfect dress for his wedding
(Wat)
Naoki: His wedding? Ben: Yeah
Ben: And on the wedding day she leaves him (and that's how Friends started)
Jarod: Color
Uh oh
Kevin: Oh my god these lighting
(kevin....GRAMMAR)
Peyton: Oh no Jarod: Now he's like where is she
Come bacackk
Kevin: Like she's.. trying her best to smile and stuff
and it's kind of
heart wrenching
Yunyi: I feel like- I wish I counted the modulations of this
Kevin: oh I bet there's one coming up
ben: tho ok I think the story i way better than the music. The music is like...
it's like good and it's like touching and all that kinda stuff naoki: yeah
but it's like..
naoki: it's like a simple tune ben: it's way to predictable cuz you know they're gna like...
yeah. like kinda take it back, sing the song, just like.. naoki: oh ofc they have a piano-
and then not do that many things that are that interesting musically tho that's kinda cool
henry: wow i'm very confused by some of the modulations that happen
peyton: -tryin to quit jarod: or maybe she's not even real
jarod: maybe she's a FIGMENT OF THE DRUGS!!! peyton: NO! THIS ISN'T!!! BTS!!!!
Hugo: .......OOH
davis: music is really good. this is like...
actually very intense and i'm not really realizing it now but it's pretty intense music
gwen: is he gonna dye it red
fiona: wat
is she dead
gwen: what's happening...
umu: or is that blood (tee hee)
davis: is THAT A HEART IN A JAR
gwen: wait
IS IT?
(I think hugo's face is going to explode if his mouth opens any wider)
peyton: is she just nappin in the bathtub like..
jarod: what if she's dead...what if she's dead
wait what's in that jar? is that a heart?
peyton: that better not be jarod: is that her heart in the jar?
peyton: that better not be jarod: is that her organs
peyton: OH!!! GOD!!!! jarod: IT IS!!!!!
BEN: *cringing*........ooh
Peyton: OH
kevin: woah what was that?
kevin: what was that transition?
*umu looses shit*
davis: did he murder her and keep her in his bathtub?
hugo: I wasn't ready
jarod: wait wait what the heck
jarod: did he stuff her like a- peyton: oh he didn't
jarod: f****d up taxidermist
peyton: OH HE DIDN'T!!!!
lindsey: this is too much davis: is that her dead body because she looks really pale
davis: dID HE DRESS UP HER-
DAVIS: WHAT S HAPPENING IN THIS VIDEO! lindsey: XD he dressed up her car- xDD
davis: I keep wanting you to tell me i'm wrong when i say these outrageous things
lindsey: oh no ofc not davis: what the heck!
oh my gosh
hugo: i feel betrayed!!!
henry: ok....
henry: what. the. f*** fiona: help henry: HELP
davis: alright so there's some weird like... lindsey: oi. that was too much!
obsessive like necrophilia like-
weird shit idk
lindsey: I don't think it was necrophilia i think it's just davis: but the music was really good ;)
he's just like
sooo hung up on his ex that like
davis: oh yeah i'm pretty sure it's mostly symbolic lindsey: then he went fkkin crazy cuz he's
got some stuff going on
and he killed her cuz he wanted her to be there forever maybe? at the end he dressed her up iin one of his designs
that like he initially envisioned for her
like that dress. they kept showing that dress when he was with that girl
lindsey: did I get it? * FIST BUUUMP*
Gwen: her voice wasn't supported enough
umu: ok
hugo: how you doin there bud?
gwen: not good?
hugo: IKNOW i was just like- it slowly started clicking and I was like
uh uh ohhhhh
moral of the story.
don't trust pretty boys who sing
ash: soooo as y'all saw in the music video
it's kind of
jarod: it's kinda messed up
ash: kinda messed up, yeah
jarod: likelikelikelikelike this much messed up
like still in the camera like
i can't- like this much messed up
*sings* I stuffed a girl and now she's dead and now she's in my room
and now *laugh*
peyton: you gotta draw the line somewhere man...dang
jarod: it's like.. peyton: cremate her like normal people! jarod: like together forever but
ya know more of a metaphorical sense than a literal physical sense of having her body forever
fiona: music... henry: i'm too distracted
fiona: actually like-
their vocals went together nicely, their voices matched each other? like the timbre of their voice
I didn't necessarily like their voices that much tho
there's too much vibrato I think? henry: her voice especially
yeah idk
sometimes I could barely distinguish them
I also kinda knew that this was going to be f****ed up
so I didn't necessarily pay much attention to the music
especially b/c it's in a language I don't understand, I felt like the music didn't really serve the music video
henry: however maybe if I had a translation there-
umu: can I read the lyrics to you right now?
both: yeah
umu: the lyrics are: the goodbye trickles down your cheeks like blood your lips asking why so sad don't come don't make that face just pass me by
the countless words of love that were whispered are promises that are breaking instantly no this is a dream, your eyes are telling me just hug me again
I loved you, I cared for you. that's it. I loved you but now- *queue fAST TALKING TO SAVE TIME*
SO THIS IS LIKE THE DIALOGUE (i hate caps lock) between the- henry: yeah yeah
that makes- that puts it waaay into like wayyyy more perspective fiona: this is really sad
fiona: it's crazy how like deep this is
cuz liek a lot of american pop music is...*shakes head* (UMU STFU FIONA'S TALKING)
Ben: i think the story is really intense
should of had... cooler music
umu: ok
ben: going a little bit more outside- maybe like chromatically or doing something a little bit more interesting like
musically? cuz they did all the right things you need to have like a gushy feely emotional song
but there wasn't really anything that was like- like crossing boundaries really- it wasn't enough for me
naoki: i don't know
I liked it
I feel sad
The End
kevin: i like iiit
umu: what about it?
sailor moon
yunyi: yeah there was that one part where it ws like *sings* kevin: in the bridge
and it just sounded like MOON PRISM POWER!
YUNYI: THERE IT WAS!
it's the chimes that make it kevin: yeah
it's just like..satisfying motion
kevin: while blood is being poured onto the
umu: yeahh fam ok were ready to move to the next one? kevin: yes
umu: so the next one is narcissus kevin: tell me about the (blossom tears) theory later
umu: this is another collab, so basically we're comparing two collabs
ash: it's a duet between one member of super junior and another member of MAMAMOO
umu: they sing a duet and it's- ah
oh it's fantastic
lindsey: ready?..... two... davis: one
jarod: ka choww lightning mcqueen peyton: ka chow
jarod: ka chow
jaord: toasty peyton: toast
kevin:...OHYEAH
jarod: ooh violin
ooh yeah violin!
violin!
hugo: classical music. what
jarod: it's just like vibrato...
vibroto heavy music
gwen: vhat!?
hugo: i do zhat!
henry: PACHELBEL SEQUENCE
lindsey *is a violin*
henry: ii V i...I wanna DIE FIONA: ooooh
lindsey: it's me playing a violin.
cuz I really know how to- I don't even know if that was the right side
ben: but it's still- naoki: still sounds like a movie soundtrack
peyton: shes just got- he's got blinking going jarod: he blinks a lot (WHY ARE U ASSUMING GENDER JAROD)
oh subtitles!
jarod: as each say goes by <3
hugo: *reading lyrics* gwen: is he going to cut her heart out?
*bye gwen's hand*
henry: woah actually this melody is pretty good
peyton: alright jarod
ben: i really like this
fiona: suaaave
jarod: he's got a very nice soft and soothing voice
umu: *dying* gwen: ew. i don't like this
henry: I feel like kpop uses a lot of chords that are like
"interesting" but for pop music
meaning like
there are 7ths and augmented 6ths
and Neapolitan and neopolitan flat 2/6s which is like fiona: and 9ths
i'm just listing things that are pretty common like- fiona: NO
"weird" chords
hugo: oh! harmony!
henry: but like
to use them subtly is the most beautiful
yunyi: dude model mixture on point in this
this song actually
ben: ooh ...3rds! naoki: nice
hugo: I like their harmonies. and I like their voices together. gwen: yeah when they harmonize i'm like...what?...singing?
naoki: SUSPENSION
6 4
BEN: yeah I can get into this
fiona: I wasn't ready for that shift tho
yunyi: oh hey they subverted the 1!
nicely jone- nicely Done. I cannot talk xD
ben: the string parts are..
like better than in the other song for sure
jarod: you're just wondering what tragic thing is about to happen because this music is setting up something big ya know?
lindsey: this is just making me really sad ;A;
jarod: *reading* "I hide my narcissistic expression"
damn that's deep
hugo: diggin the rock mixed with classical instruments gwen: yeah
gwen: very much like the fact that there's electric guitar in this
peyton: wOOO
fiona: where did this guitar come from!
both: *rockin tf out*
both: guitar solooo
kevin: this is one of those songs where I feel like all the instruments are trying to like
trying to steal the scene
hugo: ooh that was a nice high note on his part
yunyi: I like it! i like it a lot (me too)
davis: his voice...
it's like really low
it's lower than what i'm used to hearing from like (WHEEINAND DAT HIGH NOTE DOE- GETS ME EVERYTIME)
DAVIS: male soloists in particular (YEAH WHEENIN YOU GO GIRL)
NAOki: that scale-wise motion in the violins (shuddup bout classical music anD LISTEN TO WHEEIN)(jk)(good ear naoki)
hugo: ...sings
umu: was that good?
gwen: not when he did it (lol)
yunyi: and it's turned to like- kevin: gimme c minor c'mon!
ben: her vocal line going like nuts (FCKKCYEAH) and they're just like singing...
hugo: it's interesting that you never see the guy
naokI; she's just really going for it (THAT'S RIGHT!!! WHEEIN SLAY!!!!!!) BEN: yeah
yunyi: no! They subvert the 1!
kevin: yeah they go to 6
kevin: yeah yunyi: that is what i was trying to say the first time kevin: yeah well yeah it's going-
it's like 'oh! here's another bridge'
peyton: yeah jarod: she's alone?
peyton: yeah well notice the camera isn't blinking anymore so no one's looking at her
jarod: no regrets
I feel like this...
kevin: it's pretty good yunyi: this is the kinda sound you
expect from like the climax from the 3rd verse of the song
kevin: again again they do it again
kevin: just keep on doing it yunyi: yeah
it just keeps on happening
naoki: oooh that's nice that contrast though
hugo: I really like his voice
naoki: that was an IAC
ben: yes
naoki: finished on the 3rd scale degree
yunyi: again, wagner would be proud
there's no resolution to this pain
ben: YEAHHH (dude i don't think you're supposed to be this happy at this point in the song) (but ik that ending chord was 10/10)
ooh
naoki: tender (wtf)
ben: uhhh idk if that's tender or just...
hurt
naoki: i mean-
ben: the pain in her eyes naoki... naoki: i know
henry: mm
henry: :'(
umu: are you feeling?
henry: i'm feeling :'(
hugo: I really liked it I thought it was a good rock song! gwen: my favorite part was when neither of them were singing and it was just electric guitar
hugo: damn girl you are f***in savage today sh*t
it's not because i disliked their singing I just really liked that part xD
hugo: yeah the electric guitar was really good
kevin: i guess it's the quintessential bittersweet piece because when it seems like it's about to go back to the minor it does a major sort of 6 thing and when it's about to go to major it goes to the minor
ya know?
yunyi: can we talk about how strange that form was?
they had a...verse and then it was just the chorus
kevin: i agree. I think so. yunyi: the entire song was just the chorus
see this is a little opening
umu: verse?
yuunyi: yeah umu: cuz she sings this
yunyi: verse
and then there's
and then this is the chorus umu: and then this is the chorus
yunyi and then it just kept continuing on
the chorus was just...it kevin: lemme double check
umu: true yunyi: it just keeps repeating wiht the chorus
until it's over so this is.. a song that's super short
kevin: ay you're right
lindsey: do we have to talk about that one? it's just really sad I don't want to talk about it :<
umu: ok lindsey: it was so interesting
there were like
like that guitar solo you don't normally hear (wait till gfriend) and their voices were like- i mean as davis was saying the guy's voice like..
it's just a lot lower than we're used to hearing
their voices blended together really nicely, there was like violin throughout and like a string section?
there was just a lot of...elements
davis: I was mostly focused on how well it accompanied their voices
which is something you don't think about happening is like if there is a lot of busy like music like kind of happening underneath it you feel like you'd be focused on that
but it instead was somehow
it just fit perfectly into what they were singing
ben: i liked it a lot better
naoki: yeah there was definitely a lot more direction in it and
it wasn't the same thing the whole piece
ben: i don't know eve though like
I mean always in pop music you know always can kind of tell where it's going
but this one was a little more satisfying just cuz the orchestra parts were better
the rando guitar solo
naoki: yeah that was..that was ben: that was kinda weird
naoki: yeah
ben: it was cool it was really cool naoki: yeah it was really well done
fiona: that was
kinda twisted
I was not expecting it
it was just like striings and i was like OK it's just gna be like this the whole time
then it just builds more and more and then all the sudden there's guitar and i'm like 'hello?!'
i wasnt expecting it umu: i loved it
henry: it's funny how like
ther's collaboration of certain instruments can go really well or really badly
like I feel like this is an instance where like...maybe no?
it's just- it doesnt always work in the context of if you wanna have strings but you also wanna have like you know eddie van halen wannabe like
so I thought that was a little bit weird fiona: it's like rock opera
jarod: right off the bat this was like- kind of hits you pretty hard
you know? it's not like a subtle entrance you see some of these ballads do where it kinda just starts with a single instrument or something like that
and yeah like- that guitar solo. you saw peyton and I were just loosing our minds over here like
MM
GIVE IT TO ME
umu: alright if we compared this to blossom tears..which one do you like more musically?
lindsey: this one
davis: i think musically I like the other one more. umu: blossom tears? davis: yeah
hugo: OH fkkin this one cuz fk that other one (lANGUAGE)
gwen: but also- umu: specifically the song tho
hugo: yeah this one fk that other one
gwen: i'm gna say the other one. umu: ok gwen: just cuz
when a song can fff- mess with you that much
that must mean something...ya know?
fiona: um blossom ohh- like song? song-wise?
henry: first one
blossom tears fiona: yah blossom tears
henry: but I liekd this video and concept better
it's probably strictly the fact that like
I definitely like
was sympathetic to that situation like i'm sure we've all been there where we're walking around and you're like 'i really wish that someone would just be like-
hey!'
henry: I feel where- I feel where the person in this video is at
ash: you guys...definitely.. felt jarod: oh yeah ash: more from this song?
it was like 'mmm tryin to hide my narcissistic expression'
umu: right ok so both of you like this one better? both: yeah
kevin: I like blossom tears! yunyi: dude I like this one better that was totally not memorable
kevin: but that had...amazing modulations
yunyi: it did have amazing modulations but I feel like they were just ...under the table kevin: but also
kevin: *sings* who do you think you- collecting your jar of hearts
*still singing* taxidermy girl
yunyi: oh yeah taxidermy *LOL*
