Melissa: Bap.
Umu: It's B.A.P and it stands for something that I can't remember that I looked up last week
Lindsey: something- Melissa: Bap to the tap
Umu: Actually do you guys remember One Shot?
Hugo: Oh no people have been asking for Skydive ever since One Shot Gwen: Oh no
Gwen: Oh no. No, no we're not read- Hugo: Fuck. It's ten minutes long
Gwen: It's TEN MIN--? WE'RE NOT READY
Umu: Anyways, so this is gonna be like a short film, it's ten minutes long Ben: oh
Umu: So what they do is they take different songs from their album and interrupt the main track
so you are going to hear lots of different things in the whole music video
Melissa: Kpop overture Lindsey: Kpop overture?
Melissa: Overture to bap to the tap
Jarod: 3, B, A, P
Peyton: [facepalm] See, I used the name as a countdown
Shimon: Oh that's cool, I like that
Ben: Their opening? Naoki: It's like, African
Shimon: That's definitely not African Naoki: That is totally an African-styled tree Shimon: It's like a balsam tree Naoki: No it wasn't Shimon: Yeah it is
Henry: [loses his mind] Fiona: OK, I like this Gregorian chant vibe Henry: OH SHIT
Jarod: Oooh, it opens with this operatic choir. That's when you know it's about to be legit
Hugo: Oh! Drug run
Melissa: What's the-- what's the name of--Carmina Burana. It's got like, the same like, groove, you know
Lindsey: I guess? Melissa: I love choral music
Shimon: Oh, so wait, so this has-- Ben: Oh Naoki: Ayyyyy let's go
Shimon: so this is like, a continuation of the last one Ben: First--sec--first kill?
Umu: it's an, it's a new story
Shimon: I really like their... guns
Hugo: 'Cuz we big-ass pigs
Hugo: Oh shit
Gwen: That was hardcore execution style man
Yunyi: Oh I wish the gunshots lined up with the rhythm Kevin: Yeah Yunyi: That would have been really cool
Fiona: This is badass Henry: Don't burn it. You want it! Fiona: The background is so lit right now
Fiona: I'm-- I just said lit, I'm really sorry. It's so good right now, the background. It's so fresh Emiel: Welcome to trap club
Peyton: Ah yes. I quite like (Jarod: Wow. Dank.) layering fresh beats over classical sounds.
Hugo: Uh. What. Yeah Gwen: [laughs]
Hugo: What. Yeah. Uh. Here we go. Uh Gwen: Here goes the BAP hype man
Hugo: Every rap song-- Gwen: Now are they playing poker with the money they stole
Jarod: See I can tell that this is paced very well
Jarod: Like. They're not doing too much too soon Peyton: Yeah
Fiona: It feels like another beginning Henry: Ooh, that's pretty good though
Fiona: Okay, I really like this
Lindsey: I like how there's no drumbeat at all right now, it's just like, guitar and bass, and then vocals Melissa: Yeah
Lindsey: There it--there it goes Melissa: Bass drop! I love the bass drop!
Yunyi: Oh this is a dirty beat
Gwen: I love the overdrive bass Hugo: Yeah Gwen: That's awesome
Yunyi: Oh I like the guitar! Oh, that's so good.
Jarod: So we have from a trap beat to a rock beat Peyton: Yeah
Lindsey: The lights are, like, all the lighting is just very, very pleasing
Hugo: Wait, turn it up a little bit, just like. 1 or 2. Perfect Gwen: Oh shit. What's that secret message say
Kevin: Ooh Yunyi: Oh! Fuck!
Hugo: Ooh! That like, downward, like,
Hugo: And then it goes back-- Gwen: [losing her mind]
Naoki: This is pretty rocking Shimon: I like it Naoki: I like this, yeah
Naoki: It's just a heavy instrumental, which is great
Yunyi: Oh my-- Kevin: That thing, that--the--[strange noises]
Hugo: Oh?
Yunyi: But also, um, leading into the chorus, the diatonic chords go 1 2 3 4 5. That's just so simple, but so nice
Gwen: What's in the box. What's in the box!
Hugo: Oh fuck
Kevin: Oh I wish the rap lasted longer. That one line was so good
Yunyi: Yeah. It'll come back
Kevin: It's still good, it's not as dabadumbadabum
Lindsey: This is really catchy Melissa: Oh no, don't die
Lindsey: I like. Wanna pay attention to the music but then I don't pay enough attention to the storyline and I don't know what's happening
Yunyi: 3, 4, 5! Kevin: You're right, you're right I didn't even notice that
Fiona: Ooh! That was some cool harmonies Henry: Boyyyy Emiel: It's pretty out there
Jarod: I like how it drops on skydive, you know what I'm saying? Peyton: Yeah, mmmm Jarod: A little text painting
Yunyi: This drop is unreal
Gwen: I'm stress eating pretzels
Melissa: I just heard some notes that went down, does that mean it's a fonte? Lindsey: Oh my god
Kevin: Man. It's a total banger Yunyi: I know Kevin: My god
Ben: Is he a hitman that's supposed to kill people, but then not kill people too? Shimon: Fresh Umu: Um, the whole group, all the members are hitmen
Yunyi: Oh, a shove. Bar fight! Bar fight!
Lindsey: He's drinking his sorrows away Melissa: Same
Kevin: Picardy third? Yunyi: Now kiss! Kevin: Now it's minor again
Hugo: Oh that looked like they were gonna kiss Gwen: It looked like they were gonna kiss
Hugo: Uh oh
Lindsey: Ooh, I think we're going to hear another song right now maybe because it kind of really just mellowed down
Melissa: The next part in the overture--is that photo of his ex that he both loves and hates?
Jarod: Spinning camera~ Peyton: haha, all my friends are looking everywhere~
Jarod: Ooh, now we're--we're at peace Peyton: aaah~
Jarod: Kind of. Minus the reoccurring-- Peyton: Oh no. The reoccurring-- yeah Jarod: person that's just messed up
Hugo: Why did you just leave the bottle in the middle of the paper? Gwen: Because it was the--
Jarod: But the soft piano in the background, that's what does it
Jarod: Lighten up the instrumental texture and then reintroduce the electric guitar slowly
Ben: I like how the black and white makes it like, memory, and so there's piano and so it's like, laid back Shimon: Mmmm
Peyton: Ooh Jarod: Ooh, I feel like this isn't... not the music to have whenever, you know, you're watching people just get shot
Lindsey: There's just a lot of shooting Melissa: Gunshots are the beat Lindsey: They should kiss
Melissa: They will. No they won't. Yeah they will.
Henry: Yo, I haven't been paying attention to the music at all, I'm so sorry
Henry: This has-- I've been wrapped up. This is crazy shit. Fiona: You've been wrapped up like this main guy, like, he's just--
Emiel: I love this story plot. This is the best story plot of the videos I've seen
Henry: Yo, but now he's setting them all up
Lindsey: I think we're back to the song now, I'm feeling the beat again
Kevin: It's still pretty musically engaging, like, there's--
Yunyi: D-Day! Kevin: Ohhh. Of course
Kevin: And then the choir comes back exactly when D-Day-- when we see D-Day
Ben: There's like, a little like [noises]
Naoki: That's when you know it's like, techno dubstep stuff.
Fiona: It's such a weird mashup Emiel: These songs have very-- like trappy music vibe Fiona: Yeah Henry: Mhmm
Fiona: I think that's why I like it, the-- the tktktktkt Emiel: Yeah
Henry: Brrrrrup Fiona: But with the chanting. Oh. It's so cool
Melissa: They all look so badass Lindsey: I know
Melissa: Oh yeah, they're back to the choral thing
Lindsey: It's like it sounds like a Gregorian chant kind of thing, like, the way that they--it's like--very--
Lindsey: It's very--um-- Melissa: It has more beat than a Gregorian chant Lindsey: Yeah
Melissa: Like, it's more like--have you heard Carmina Burana
Melissa: Like the one that's like "o fortuna"--don't put that in the video
Umu: [laughing in the background] Melissa: My goodness
Umu: Totally am Melissa: Just beep that out
Lindsey: I guess it's like the whole, uh, homoph--homophony, homophonic? Melissa: It's like choir, but with, like a, like a beat
Melissa: It's like a banger, but for choral music
Naoki: Oh. There's like, just rests
Gwen: When I'm sad I put my face in trash too Hugo: Yeah
Gwen: Oh! OH! OHH! Hugo: OH! OHH! Gwen: Dead body in the trash!!!
Melissa: The theme returns! The A section is back Lindsey: Oh my god
Kevin: Man, I want to see the original song Yunyi: Yeah
Kevin: I mean, as great as the instrumental bridges are, it does lose the momentum a little bit
Yunyi: It does, and also I want to see how the original song is like, structured, and what the forms are
Melissa: Rival gang? Lindsey: SWAT team? Melissa: This is like West Side Story
Melissa: But not at all like West Side Story Lindsey: Oh man that dude just showed up and was like, 'what the fuck is going on'
Melissa: [gasps] That was violent Lindsey: I don't like all this violence Melissa: This is very violent
Lindsey: There's a lot of blood happening
Jarod: In our world only those with the best hair survive
Peyton: Welcome to Skydi---oh fuck Jarod: whoaaaaa Peyton: ahhhh
Kevin: Dirty bass. Oh, I don't like the blood animation. It's too cartoony
Yunyi: Oh, see, now the gunshots are blending with the beat, but only some of them, so it sounds like just-- rhythmic cacophony
Ben: So far a lack of vocals, but I mean the instrumentation-- Naoki: I mean, that's okay
Ben: Yo!
Ben: Oh. Ow
Yunyi: Now kiss!
Melissa: This is like, a lot of blood Lindsey: Yeah
Lindsey: But it is black and white, so it's like. That like, makes it seem less...
Lindsey: Like you can't act-- like you can't-- the blood's not red since it's black and white so-- Melissa: Did you know in old black-and-white movies
Melissa: They used like, Hershey's syrup for blood
Melissa: Because it was black and white you couldn't tell the difference
Henry: This is why you've NEVER JOIN A GANG
Emiel: I like how they're doing like, variations on their chorus, and it's getting more screwed up every time they have an interlude
Hugo: Oh my god
Kevin: Now kiss?
Yunyi: No.
Naoki: Oh, so it's him. Oh... Oh!! Shimon: Oh, yeah jacket
Kevin: Oh geez Yunyi: Ehhh...
Lindsey: That's what you think Melissa: Oh, roasted-- Lindsey: Look at that one, he's alive, he looks like a--
Melissa: That looks like a badass hair flip, like, that's hair flip goals
Yunyi: Does he have a bulletproof vest? Is that what it is? Ah--yup. Kevin: Awwwww duh
Kevin: That's like the most popular deus ex machina in the history of film. 'Oh, I got a bulletproof vest on. Plot twist!'
Kevin: This is a flashback to their friend friend--
Kevin: quote unquote 'friend'
Lindsey: I think this is another song at the end because it's definitely not the original Melissa: Yeah
Melissa: Bap Lindsey: And now it's over Melissa: Bap bap bap
Fiona: BAP! Bop Emiel: BAP! Henry: That was ridiculous. BAP!
Umu: So yeah. Even though the story was really crazy, were-- were you able to like, find out a specific part of music that you liked or didn't like?
Emiel: I like the interludes, when they did like, little, like, renditions on their chorus
Emiel: Like a bunch of little variations, like the techno, and the trap one
Henry: We've heard this kind of a music video before where there's the main song, but then it has
Henry: sections of other songs worked into it Umu: Mhmm, they did it before in One Shot too Henry: And it didn't work as well
Henry: This one worked excellently Fiona: [ok sign] Henry: I thought this one was great
Fiona: It was great. I really enjoyed that kind of a trap beat they had going on with the weird like, chanting chorus
Henry: Yeah, the beat was cool Fiona: That was such a great way to open this video
Kevin: Ehh. As a music video experience overall, it's not my favourite Yunyi: You know, yeah. I think this is the first music video that we saw I wished that--
Yunyi: Well, not first, but probably the most prominent one in which the music video took something away from the music, I thought Kevin: Yeah, yeah
Yunyi: 'Cuz it just, it kept cutting the song and, like, the delivery of a song--like, if it was
Yunyi: Like. If they cut it at proper places, it wouldn't be much of a problem but they like cut it between choruses and that was a little bit--
Kevin: Well, there's a way to make that work if you really really build back up to the chorus, like, really well
Kevin: And then like, you know we feel the hype
Kevin: And then the chorus comes back like, a familiar friend Umu: Right
Yunyi: Also the CGI was just a little-- Kevin: Oh my god
Kevin: For such a gritty theme, I feel like it didn't really work Umu: Okay
Yunyi: Great track though. A+ track Kevin: Yes. Yeah
Ben: Yeah, I'm actually surprised I was interested the whole 10 minutes. Naoki: Yeah
Shimon: Yeah. That felt like a really quick 10 minutes Naoki: Yeah
Naoki: The music really suited what was going on this screen. I don't know which came first, but-- Shimon: Really good text painting Ben: Yeah
Shimon: Text painting. No that's not right Naoki: Well, no, that's only if it's lyrics, and we didn't even have-- really know the lyrics
Naoki: They weren't really skydiving, were they, so it wasn't really text painting Ben: Ummm they were
Shimon: Theoretica-- not theoretically Ben: Like, metaphorically Naoki: Oh
Ben: Um. But uh, I feel definitely-- Naoki: But that's not text painting still
Ben: But I think without the movie it would have been less effective, for sure Naoki: Yeah
Ben: Because the movie was so gripping-- the film-- Naoki: Yeah
Peyton: Super dope
Peyton: Kind of a simulation in a way
Peyton: a lot of, I guess, acoustic sounds over liker, err, under a really heavy trap, like BOOM [beatbox noises]
Umu: And what do you think of the music? Gwen: It was lit!
Gwen: First of all the choir in the beginning and part of the end--that was awesome
Gwen: I can't tell if that was a different piece that they sampled or if that was something new to them
Gwen: Usually be--mostly because I don't know anything about choir music Hugo: Probably a different music sample. It was good though
Gwen: The... was this a song with the synthy stuff that we liked? Hugo: I think so
Gwen: I think it was, because-- Hugo: That was really good Gwen: Yeah, that was the coolest thing ever
Gwen: That was like [noises] and then there were like [noises] Hugo: [noises]
Umu: Ok so you didn't get any storyline, but we-- Lindsey: There was just a lot of shooting Melissa: Yeah, they were--okay--
Melissa: So that one person definitely died. Umu: Okay. Melissa: From a gun
Lindsey: Yeah? Umu: So basically, like, I read a theory, so this, it isn't like, an official theory
Umu: but I read that, like, they were like all hitmen and they didn't care about money
Umu: but this one guy was saying like, 'go kill this person otherwise your sister will die' and then
Umu: he failed to do the things, so then they killed his sister and threw her out in the trash, and then he was just trying to trying to find who it was doing that
Umu: and then he found out that like, his leader of his gang or like, the one person in his gang wasn't one
Umu: that was like the-- when he got cornered in the alley, he cornered his friend
Umu: and then basically they all got trapped and the guy who had a bulletproof-- Lindsey: [whispers] I'm trapped
Umu: who had a bulletproof jacket was the one who trapped all of them and yeah
Umu: they all died and he got money Melissa: That sucks Lindsey: That's a lot
Umu: Yeah Melissa: That's so complicated Lindsey: That's just a lot
Melissa: Whoa
