umu: so we're starting our marathon of BTS WINGS album which is the latest album that the group BTS put out
so what we're doing is we're going to be watching first seven videos
that are individual teasers for each solo song in the album
each member heavily participated in writing/producing their own solo song and the rest of the songs in the album
each film uses lots of imagry and quotes from the book Damian
have you guys read that? by any chance? no? ok
so we're starting with Jungkook's short film

nao: REALLY!
umu: there you go hen: so far
this was not a music video xD (i dID TELL YOU IN THE BEGINNING, SIR, WE WERE WATCHING TEASERS-)
exactly they took like 2 samples...he has lots of synth in his song so they took like 2 samples of the synth
the other ones are more musical but this one was a little bit less. this was one was more 'sound effects!' and 'lets confuse the f*** out of you!'
fio: it was like tone-
like it's the equivalent of a tone poem
in classical music
hen *sarcastically* wOW
fio: but not at all because it's not...but...
umu: true fio: it's like mood music
linds: i liked the rain
umu: uh huh dav: yeah
davis: it was- it was a very interesting ambiant effect linds: that was cool
linds: *ambiance
davis: anyways
the rain and the birds and uh...
linds: I liked the little, the-
the the like
shimmery kind of music that was playing? do you know what I mean?
there was some chime-y kind of things
just like- it was like background music of a horror movie almost...you know what I mean? umu: uh huh
like when they show the face dripping on the painting and they've got like this- the creepy kind of like chime-y type music going on? that's what i'm talking about
umu: well it just gets better from here on out davis: oh good
kev: you know I actually didn't notice that was a piano on fire until you mentioned it and then I didn't-
i was l-i didn't catch it
yun: yeah it was like a...
like one of those flash images like a calimanel signal?
and it was just a flash of a piano on fire and it was like- I had to take some time to process it umu: it shows up again kev: i'm sure yunyi: GOOD
YUN: THAT'S WHAT I LOVE TO SEE
nao: that was- that was interesting
i was expecting more- like- i
I kinda wanna- yeah I see why they released those i was like what the f*** was that
umu: now are you like 'i wanna hear him sing'?
umu: what this actual song- nao: well I don't care about him singing I want to see how it resolves
umu: ok. and that's what you'll be able to hear- shi: half cadence... xD
nao: yeah they always do i'm like
godammit shi: ohhhhh maaan
i didn't even realize it was music it was so sparse
umu: yeah exactly shi: was there- was there music???
nao: there was like- some like
sound effects with like
shi: is that music?
what is music?
both: it's John Cage 4:33 XDDD
umu: so in the- each song,
or in each video they use samples, so there was musical samples in there jar: mm hm cuz
there was like hints of it but it was all kinda mashed together pey: yeah
umu: is it working, is it making you curious to see more? or is it just confusing
a little bit of both pey: yeah umu: ok
it's like, you wonder what's going on and at points its' like ohh*noises*
but
*more noises*
like no words but there's like- ya know there's
question marks
umu: so the next one
this is the short film for Jimin who was the dude in the tub (in I Need U)
and this is the one that's in compound meter (stigma is too cmon umu)
but idk whether the sample they use if-
like if it's very obvious or not
yun: ok

NAO: except it's a painting as opposed to a closet
nao: the lion the witch & the wardrobe?
jar: he's vlogging!
linds: wow
davis: yeah I really like the contrast their doing with the whole negative and then the....regular
jar: you know it's kinda ya know on your way to your classes

pey: mm get it boi
nao: actual music!!

nao: "please guide me"
shi: save me
nao: from my demons (naoki what's that voice)
hen: woah
nao: also he's wearing crosses in his ears
he's also wearing PJs
fio: that was cool hen: pls stop me pls guide me pls let me breathe
like the sound, when it went out of focus
nao:...because he's in a mental asylum
hugo: f*** they're doing such a good job of deprayiing- uh
not depraying uh
displaying...depression
nao: naw i'm liking these
hugo: OH look and see now they've got 1 out of 4 now done
btoh: OHHHHHHH
YUN: THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL (god i hate caps lock)
yun: WHAT
shi: it kinda reminds me of- nao: they're really engaging
reminds me of modern art
yun: it was just...
so gorgeous, so artsy, so beautifully done all around
kev: so there's a part near the beginning where clearly sounds like something being rewinded
kev: has anyone-
re-winded that?
to hear what
it sounds like? umu: it's the
i believ- it sounded like music right?
like *dadadaddada*
but it's re-winded it's eeeehhhrrrreeeerrr
umu: yeah it's the guitar kev: ooh i did a good impression
there's like a hispanic guitar or like salsa- not salsa
almost salsa-y (dont quote me i suck at genres)
and so they took that clip and re-winded it so it sounds even more frantic
kev: ook umu: so it is...that's guitar form the main track
cool
jarod: i think the first thing we saw was that thing that was on fire that was hard to make out- kind of just like the music was and it just like stopped and then this thing on fire and then it went back. It was only there for like
like maybe a second at the most
it was like....hm
umu: what's cool is they do reuse the imagery and the sound effects
jar: mhm umu: listen for those- used in every single one it's just like
whatdoesit meeean
jar: exactly
umu: oh yeah what do you think of that song the little clip that you heard of it?
nao: there was one really cool uhh
resolution umu: mhm
i wasn't sure if it was a modulation, but it just came out of nowhere and that was pretty cool
umu: now we're on to the
3rd film
so this one's stigma this is Taehyung
jar: alright
321go
*noises*
pey: big hit- music and artist for healing
(cuuuuute)
hugo: *mind blown* holy crap
davis: this is gna be deep
i can already tell
hen: to live and bleed fio: that's awesome like-
idk
hen: what is he doing?
fio: he's carving his name into it
pey: i know I would fall all over my tongue trying to recreate-
pey: woah jar: what the heck
yun: colors in each shot are so beautifully done kev: very distinctive color palettes for each of the characters
hugo: i like thier use of sound bits, not just music hut like gwen: yeah
shi: are they playing chess?
yun: WHO DESIGNED THE SETS
WHO DESIGNED THEM!!!! ;A;
THEY'RE SO PRETTY
kev: oh yeay i love this
fio: nervous he's a nervous person
yun: it's that chord again
hen: p nice chords just kind of 1 - 5 but they're kind of like spacey
pey: ohmyg jar: pop chooords
jar: woahhh deceptiive
hugo: ooh
hen: that bass
yun: was that the virgin mary in his eyes?
kev: i couldnt tell
shi: so he's getting beat rn
i see
fio: i like this
pey: such contrast between the funky beat and the dark images Ah
jar: i know
hen: this 12/8 like- minor jam <3
well 6/8 i should say
jar: oh! she's got lil- some bruising pey: man...somebody f****ed her up
jar: oh!
both: "why were you like that to me?"
fio: this is such a mystery hen: fiona why were you like that to me fio: i'm so confused
nao: aww shi: DOOOOOGGGGGGGG
HEN: PUPPERS DOGGO MMMMMMM
both: AWWWW (etc)
hen: OHMYGOD THAT DOG IS SO CUTE

fio: i miss doggos
hen: *dying* i do too
*still dying* noo pupper
yun: oh that high note holy shit
nao: i'm liking the music tho

pey: cant help it
yun: I want more music cmon I want more music! kevin: nonono this is perfect
yun: ohhmygod!
umu: WHAT DOES THE DOG SYMBOLIZE
SHI: love
nao: innocence because it's a puppy
shi: dammmn
and it's white nao: yeah, innocence
purity
davis: i kinda liked...that one...it was a little bit different
the arrested thing looked like cuz he was doing stuff with grafitti
davis: in the other 2 like you notice like it would start off with a lot of like stark like black and white and then it would transfer into a lot of color
and this one did the opposite
linds: yeah I like that too davis: it started off really like- linds: (STOP INTURRUPTING EACHOTHER) especially with the grafitti
and then there were only a couple shots in there that really had color like the one of him
with his
sister and davis: mhm exactly
so i think it was kind of
reversed...it was it was different
i liked that beat
that was a nice bass-y
linds: i definitely paid more attention to the video than the music on that one just because his story I feel like
is the one i remember the most from
the like...short films that we watched (HYYH)
umu: you guys liked the music in that? fio: m hm
are you wanting to hear the full songs for these?
eventually hen: yeah
umu: i think i'll be showing all their singles (next year)
naoki:...... HE K ILLED A MAN
because he ta- it had a bohemian rhapsody reference cuz he was like 'pls forgive me for that crime'
yes, bohemian rhapsody shi: i don't think they referenced bohemian rhapsody nao: that was definitely bohemian rhapsody
shi: but i don't think they referenced that- naoki: it was an homage
shi: i don't think so nao: it is definitely
but he did kill someone, he killed his dad
so you're right but it's not from bohemian rhapsody naoki: because they said 'mama, just killed a man'
it's- that's what it is shi: but i don't think it's an homage
jar: this probably has nothing to do with
the actual storyline but I feel like because that guy was a killer, they had to give him a killer beat
*lol* jar: you know
im just sittin there like
yaa his life is screwed but
pey: we gotta give him a sick beat! jar: dank tuunes
woBBLE like that's all I wanted to do i'd have to like almost watch it again just to like not focus on the beat, but the problem is i'm just gna be focusing on the beat
that's probably one of the most- tightest groove i've heard in like in a kpop song
ya know?
like some other stuff is head bangin but that was just like
thiqq
yun: wow that track was amazing kev: i think i think the way- well idk if that's what the final track sounds like but the fact that the piano comes first and then dut
and then it gets build and builds and you get some fancy chords in there
and then, and then it's great
yun: no but just the falsetto vocals like (umu now you gotta stop interrupting...)
all the way through
and uhh umu: piano first (GODAMMIT UMU LET YUNYI TALK)
yun: yeah the falsetto vocals and like
the R&B grooves = WOW X2
umu: do you guys also want to hear this full one yun: YES
that track was so hot! ok? we needa hear this one
hugo: ohh mna that was so good and his singing was so good right in there
but oh man just the oh gwen: wow this was so amazing (idk what's wrong with the audio sorry)
hugo: like I - that's one of the few songs where like
you have a moment of silence with just vocals
and you are totally just
gwen: dude
ok lets keep watching I really need to keep watching gwen: 3 2 1
*first love & reflection next!*
