Yunyi: I'm sorry, once you said this was a subunit of VIXX it's called VIXX LR and I was like the other sub unit's names are
Yunyi: VIXX starselect, VIXX AV [lol]
Yunyi: [peace]
Umu: VIXX Hugo: ayeee Gwen: oh
Umu: okay VIXX LR is a subunit, 2 of the members from VIXX Davis: oh okay
Lindsey: is it LR? Davis: Left and Right!
Umu: Leo and Ravi, Ravi is the rapper of the group and Leo is one of the main singers
Umu: So just let me know if you want the lyrics afterwards etc, but otherwise this is like my favorite music video of all time
Umu: It's really well shot
Lindsey: sick, nasty can we go? Umu: yes
Jarod: Alright- VIXX. I'm only gonna do a 2,1 countdown
Jarod: cause there are 2 X's in their names
Jarod: 2, 1
Kevin: beautiful huh
Lindsey: oh I get it LR
Lindsey: Get it? cause it's a liar but they crossed out the i & a so it's just-
Naoki: that piano Ben: that hair
Yunyi: OMG those piano keys are all splattered over Kevin: what a piano
Kevin: idek if I'd be able to find my keys
Hugo: ohhh
Hugo: that's right go high up there
Lindsey: [lol]
Davis: oh man Lindsey: OH aw man I like the rapper thing like the
Davis: Just to just two very extreme registers Lindsey: I love the lights, the lighting is so nice oh it is so nice
Lindsey: to look at what the f*ck is he wearing
Kevin: wedding dress? YAAAAAS Yunyi: Wedding dress? I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
Jarod: Look at all this text painting like I look as these people grab their heads
Jarod: boom bigger beat. interesting.
Gwen: this is so awesome
Peyton: Oh! yeah man mm
Peyton: yeah one of them is just like just kinda sad and the other ones just really wrecked
Ben: I feel like Naoki: upright?! (piano)
Ben: I feel like this part would go super well with the verses cause this is like a lot more darker but then like
Ben: during the chorus with the piano it's so like happy and perky
Kevin: it changes, that's the difference. but the chorus has the least momentum Yunyi: it's a little less
Kevin: first of all- out of everything kinda just you know
Jarod: you have two characters and the harmony thickens as the second character joins
Jarod: I mean obviously two people singing is gonna be more but then the underlying stuff, more came to the beat
Hugo: aw that's really really good
Davis: two very extreme/ different registers going on
Davis: but that's honestly what you want, is enough contrast to make it
Jarod: OH silence
Ben: so one dude is depressed, the other dude is like edgy Naoki: yeah
Umu: something deeper is happening
Shimon: Yeah are they fighting against each other?
Umu: yeah inner conflict
Hugo: GOD HE'S SO GOOD
Hugo: idek what he's saying and im f*ckin hyped
Kevin: see you give us a bridge like this like you gotta follow it up in the chorus
Yunyi: idk maybe the chorus will change the 2nd time
Kevin: maybe, that's what I'm hoping for
Jarod: dude that guy just killed that verse
Lindsey: they're killin it here like this is really -
Lindsey: it's like a battle? it feels like between the two of them but like not really I mean just like kind of
Lindsey: if it's like a dance battle kind of battle? except that like, singing, rapping at each other
The duo: [hype]
Kevin: ehhh yep Yunyi: well they suspended it
Kevin: like it works but... it's not you know
Yunyi: see when you introduce a new element usually we expect to hear it open and again later on in the song
Yunyi: and hear it develop in some way Kevin: idk the second time hearing it I like it a bit more
Naoki: it's pretty strong vocals Ben: [agrees]
Umu: Music? Voices? Hugo: oh f*cking love it
Hugo: ohoh
Everyone: OHHHHHHHH Naoki: snap
Jarod: what the Petyon: you don want them keys, dawg
Naoki: Was that the key to her heart?
Gwen: is he goin' beat her up?
is he goin' beat him up?
Hugo: well, he's himself (umu dropped them a hint)
Gwen: who is he? what? oh yeah they're the same person
Kevin: Woah Yunyi: woah his voiceeee
Yunyi: is that filtered or is it just Kevin: nonono this is actual. you can tell he's sort of straining down
Yunyi: awww Kevin: it's pretty effective
Yunyi: it's romantic
Lindsey: oh he was just talking to her and then his like bad side came out
Gwen: Ravi's job is just to f*ck shit up oh and he's wrestling with himself hahaha
Kevin: man then you hear that high voice Yunyi: yeah i like how voices contrast that's really great
Ben: that was really good
Jarod: Ohh this guy's got abs
Naoki: sounds like- Ben: the rising scale vocal thing?
Umu: So the high note
Hugo: ohh it went into a deceptive cadence and it sounded great, went to a flat vi instead of a----
Gwen: oh i LOVE IT when they do that with the lighting
Kevin: aw okay Yunyi: see they could've done something with that
Naoki: this is like the one that's like black gonna kill the other one and then
Naoki: win the girl
Lindsey: like it's a little--- oh they're hugging that's so cute but they're the same person
Yunyi: what is going on? they're restraining each other... but they seem like they're like halves of the same person?
Ben: so he reconciles with himself?
Ben: after he struggles with himself?
Peyton: [whistles]
Both: windy sounds...
Kevin: and it's LR ohhhh, that's amazing YUnyi: that's a really great logo, wowww that's a beautifully designed logo
Jarod: you know what's really cool is like the piece kind of began with nothing and then it gets really intense and it finishes with nothing
Lindsey: Music i liked it yeah Davis: music = awesome. I digged the trap beats, I'm all about trap beats
Lindsey: I like the rap thing Davis: their voices like I said being two complete polar opposites
Lindsey: yeah Davis: creates a good texture I think
Lindsey: he's got some good falsetto
Gwen: okay so what the f-- frick happened?
Yunyi: it seems like one was the truth, one was the lie they're like fighting over each other Umu: exactly exactly
Shimon: so like her giving back the key means that she's moving out right?
Ben: oh so she broke up with him
Ben: and he's either gonna like be a good dude and like let her go or be petty and just like
Ben: tear her up
Gwen: anyway what are the lyrics
Umu: this is a beautiful lie my last lie even though it hurts to death I hide myself under a mask for you
Umu: I see myself in the mirror and I ask myself
Lindsey: oh he's being like put on a fake persona for this girl and he's like about to get married to her but he's like this isn't the real me
Umu: i see myself in the mirror and I ask myself would it really make you happy if I let you go I'll myself away completely
Umu: because you need quiet time to yourself
Yunyi: you need quiet time to yourself! Umu: NO!
Umu: did I say those things to you without knowing me Yunyi: ayeeee
Umu: as I replayed your face when you screamed go away
Umu: I'm tainting our memories that were beautiful I haven't imagined a life without you yet but please be happy so that at least
Umu: my light can shine
Umu: So basically what's happening... oh Davis: ehhhhhhh
Davis: i think well Lindsey: he thinks that she can do better
Lindsey: but, since she's with him now, he's like if I leave her now like would it really be like
Lindsey: would that really make her happy cause like they're like getting married like but he like having second thoughts of like
Lindsey: himself and so like Umu: but my heart is still the same as in life I still love you
Umu: but I think it's best for you if I end it right here so he's thinking that she'll be happy without him
Hugo: woof that's.. i like it I like it a lot
Gwen: i dont think that hit me as hard as it hit you, I like it a lot
Jarod: well, love is a fickle thing man Peyton: yeah yeah
Umu: so the silver haired guy is the one who wants to keep her, he's the real true person who's saying like
Umu: stay here come on like ily so much we can work this out blah blah blah and then
Umu: the dark haired guy is the lie and he's saying go Lindsey: oh so that's why he's Davis: he's the stranger
Lindsey: who's sitting talking to the woman cause he's the one who she knows
Lindsey: i like that a lot actually I enjoy it
Davis: It just went from a 7.9 to like a 9.1 for me out of 10
Davis: that was really good Lindsey: so specific
Kevin: okay so in a cheesy kdrama way the music kind of compliments the theme
Kevin: but like if we're really into like if the music wants the reflected theme i dont think it really works.... heh
Kevin: yeah especially the piano sounds SO tangy like so new agey
Yunyi: but also I feel like as classical musicians we're kind of obsessed with like thematic imagery Kevin: [agrees]
Yunyi: and work paintings kevin: thematic imagery Umu: all right
Kevin: like musical theme Yunyi: yeah
Umu: do you see how like the different lows or different moods naoki: it's not real life bro
Ben: yeah you can see that, I think they did really well then he brought that out really well Naoki and Shimon: [agree]
Shimon: what with like the hair and then like the clothes Ben: yeah
Ben: well then also like the music in between changing between kind of Naoki: the contrast between the styles
Naoki: between the two people Ben: and not too much like enough to, where you can tell like oh this is supposed to be like reminiscent or
Ben: if this is supposed to be happy or yeah Umu: anything else come to mind on the music before we move onto the next one?
Ben: idk it was really good Shimon: i like how it started with just the voicings and then the instrumentals came in, it was good
Umu: hey are you ready to watch the next VIXX song? Davis: alright this is actual VIXX
Umu: yes this is acutal VIXX this is 20--- Lindsey: I feel like this is an episode of prison break
Umu: yeah this is late 2015
Umu: this is chained up this is full complete VIXX yunyi: ooh ;)
Umu: yeah actually Yunyi: chained up [eyebrows] Kevin: [omg @yunyi]
Yunyi: I'm trying to get a chain of puns going but nothing's coming to mind
Kevin: ... TWO CHAINS [peace]
[lol]
Yunyi: let's not let jokes tie us down KEvin: yeah alright haha
Kevin: chain us up? Yunyi: ohhh oh
Kevin: 50 shades---
Ben: OH attack on Titan Shimon & Umu: ahahah
Lindsey: VIXX always has like really nice cinematography I feel like in all-
Davis: so much grey and black and lindsey: yeah but then they like make the colors pop and it looks very like it all
Davis: yeah cause when they just do something that't not it's just look whoo lindsey:...mystical
Peyton: OH Whoo [hype]
Kevin: see?!?!? this is what we needed, CRANK Yunyi: what is that sound? TURN IT UP! CRANK IT UP
Peyton: WHOO Jarod: you know it's a good beat when you got Peyton makin noise over here
Yunyi: Oh gimme that semi tone in the bass
Naoki: [frog noises]
Hugo: woah
Kevin: chromaticism
Jarod: this is TIGHT this is sexy guys
Lindsey: pretty hot beat
Jarod: it's like somebody who comes up and caresses your cheek and then just gives that a little smack
Umu: omg what the f-
Kevin: what an interesting song!
lindsey: this is so like club music like Davis: did he say eenee meenee mini mo? *umu nods* YES
Kevin: it's good Yunyi: OMG it's kinda lost me Kevin: yeah, I mean that's the weirdest bridge i've ever [gorilla noises]
Yunyi: I like it cause like the way that they're singing like Kevin: it's really cool
Yunyi: it kinda matched the little like that texture so it really sounded like
YUnyi: homphonic
Hugo: I like the jazz chords whenever they say chained up
Kevin: why are verses and choruses different worlds? in these songs?
Lindsey: that like whisper voice that like enticing davis: so sensual
Jarod: yeah you got Peyton dancing, that's the key that's the key
Yunyi: Oh I like how it matches the rhythm drive Kevin: such a musically interesting verse
Gwen: I want the girl to come back Hugo: [sings along]
Yunyi: love that Kevin: [turn up]
Peyton: takes a real man to pull off a choker
Lindsey: oh they changed colors
Naoki: is this the chorus?
Naoki: I think that this one they don't have enough of- support I feel. The vocals. ben: well the synths
Naoki: what do you think Shimon: there isn't enough of a contrast between the chorus and the second verse ben: that's fair
Jaord: dude these guys are hot man you know I'm just gonna put it out there
Lindsey: I liked the like...timbre of the voices are like very deep but clean sounding
Davis: I like lower voice rapping I think
Lindsey: but his voice sounds so clean like a lot of times when the voice is really low it gets raspy
davis: [sings along]
Lindsey: yeah- again- is that the same guy doing the falsetto that we heard in the last video? *umu shrugged cuz she couldn't hear what part they were at*
Lindsey: do they all do falsetto like that? Umu: the two main yeah
Umu: it's probably- yeah Lindsey: okay so I like the contrast is really nice
Kevin: NO!
Ben: idk naoki: ehhh
Umu: what happened
Ben: Like they're trying to build and it was like kind of working, but then it didnt Naoki: and then it went to like
Ben: it wasn't as loud as we're hoping for and it wasn't as big as we're hoping for
Yunyi: it's got like moment that are like really cool and moments that are just like at a fall flat a little bit
Ben: I mean maybe they're chained up Naoki: yes they're restricted ben: they're restricted both musically and-
Naoki: i dont think they were probably thinking about that
Lindsey: it's kinda like in like gregorian chants how they would arrange those groups that were all guys
Lindsey: so like they had to train the young boys to sing like really high
davis: actually Lindsey: so that they could sing the alto parts
Davis: they would just castrate them
Hugo: D*mn
lindsey: well okay I mean like [what?!?! lol]
Jarod: looking at this piece musically "this piece", song musically...i'm just on a roll today
Peyton: uh this piece Jarod: this piece, it's really interesting cause it's a very rhythmically driven piece
Jarod: like i feel like there's not really anything much going on as far as intricate harmonies but there's definitely a cool rhythm
Jarod: and you have enough paint and dance and sounds over here so it's pretty thick, chains themselves, they're like a rhythmic entity
Jaord: like object, when you rattle them you're not really rattling them for the sound but you're rattling them to feel the odd rhythm to it
Jarod: when you think about the piece between chains, deep Umu: wow wow
Gwen: lyrics please Umu: okay
Gwen: I wanna know if shes a dumb (???)
Umu: completely tensed up I rub my shoulders I simply wander around you
Umu: um you kiss straight through me over the width that made me submit
Umu: that's right good boy Everyon: good boy?!?!
Umu: I'm reading that's what it [dying ahaha] i can't do this
Umu: my breathing is abrupt when you approach me it hurts me so much hurts so much but I can't turn away
Umu: eeny meeny miney mo my owner and my prey, enny meeny miney mo my love and my controller
Umu: you're my love and my controller I put my hands up freeze armor down nanananana
Umu: it's fine--- Gwen: so yes
Ben: OMG i did not really get that in the music video Umu: [ahahahaha]
Shimon: i mean the chains were like hanging from the ceiling Ben: yeah they weren't really like
Shimon: it wasn't like there weren't any Naoki:there weren't chained up
Naoki: they just had chains Ben: so much .. Shimon: so uncomfortable
Lindsey: I like the music better in the beginning I feel like it liek idk if it actually tamed out or if i just got like
Lindsey: used to it I feel like in this kind of thing you need to liek calm it down and then
Lindsey: come back into it but it kinda just stayed hype the whole time Davis: yeah I think it kept coming on
Davis: i think it was just getting used to it I agree because i dont think it did anythign different
Davis: So i think it was just the momentum that went from 3.5 min
Ben: i think they could've got a lot bigger naoki: yeah the scope was pretty small I feel
Umu: So, really liked the verses? What was happening?
Kevin: boom, it was a lot of interesting electronic askldjflaksd Yunyi: it was
Yunyi: they brought more innovative sounds and like they incorporated more like interesting
Yunyi: textures, like for example that little like leap in the beginning I've never heard
Kevin: it's a little high thing Yunyi: and they kept that going and like what was really cool about the bridge was that they lined up their vocals
Yunyi: with the tamber of those sounds so it sounded like they were working with it with like the electronic instrumentals
Kevin: yeah it started curling the chromatic descending thing and then it wen to the [demonstrates]
Kevin: which was also really really good and then it's like we're gonna go somewhere really cool and then
Gwen: it was lit Hugo: they had an impact bass line so it was their rhythmic section was made up with a lot of bass
Hugo: rather than just like which was really cool and the jazz chords during the chorus
Hugo: whenever they said chained up chained up like that was like mmm
Hugo: it was really good Gwen: also like chromatic Umu: [demonstrates]
Umu: if you could compare this one with beautiful liar which one do you like better musically
Peyton: musically this one jarod: yeah I think i like this one better it's just a little bit more energy to it which I personally like a little bit more plus those guys are cute
Peyton: thicc spelled T-H-I-C-C
Lindsey: I think I like the first one better
Lindsey: the LR one
Lindsey: I feel like the other one kinda just stuck with me a little more Davis: yeah beautifully shot
Davis: really good lindsey: amazing choreo--- cinematography sorry
Davis: I like a little bit of complexity
Both: uhhhh Gwen: I like chained up better
Gwen: but very close it's very close
Hugo: yeah like there are two different kinds of songs
Hugo: like i really f*ckin dug LR Imma go half and half Gwen: alright
Yunyi: this one, def this on parts of it were really great kevin: this one [agrees]
Umu: uh huh okay so if we're comparing this one and beautiful liar which one would you like better
Everyone: first one for sure
