This song is actually based off of Herman Hesse's novel called Demian. It's about good vs evil, losing innocence and falling into temptation (and a bit of psychology) so we ARMYS had to read books to understand what this entire album meant because it's basically like a story which connects all of their songs in that album haha (the album is called Wings). Loved the reaction! 💜💜

[@Kunoichi4ever4]

I m currently reading Demian .... The story heavily centers aroud 2 realms - the "good" realms of innocennce, childhood, love...and "bad"realm - temptation, lies and violence.the story is so far about the main character realizing the evil realm inside him, questioning himself , God and the world..but soon realizing he is not evil, nor saint, he is human ...so far the book is about finding yourself in a world where so many people try to define you before you are even born. And the road takes you through both good and the bad realm to find you true self.

[@Nataliewms]

I certainly didn’t realize I would become a professional student by becoming an ARMY (the name of BTS’s fandom). But the BU (BTS Universe, story line that winds through their MVs), is compelling. It reminds me of the tv show Lost. Lost had many storylines, theories, and off-air content that made it feel interactive. BTS is doing the same thing here. This hooks us in and gets us anticipating what’s next. We talk theories and develop an eagle eye to digest all the possible clues. This is a master class on how to build a fan base, create interesting & interactive content, video filming & editing (with a major in dance videography), introduction to multiple music genres, a master class in dancing, a focus on psychology, mythology, Korean history, fiction works, art history, social justice... Did I forget anything else?! Whew!

[@mitzy_379]

BTS uses Hermann Hesse's book Demian as inspiration, basically their entire discography uses this story as a concept. The most important thing to keep in mind when interpreting BTS songs is that they cannot be seen as something real that is happening in time, because their concept is too surreal to see it that way. So the way to interpret it is through dreams and there is a reason for this. It turns out that Hermann Hesse was strongly inspired by Car Jung's analytical psychology. Jung's analytical psychology is a school of modern psychotherapy and something that characterizes psychotherapy is the analysis of dreams, which are not literal at all. In this way it is explained that BTS videos when viewed without a specific context and order do not make sense to be able to analyze them.

The quote that RM was saying when Jin is letting go of the balloon is, *"He too was a tempter; he, too, was a link to the second, the evil world with which I no longer wanted to have anything to do."* From the book “Demian” by Herman Hesse. It's about an older man looking and reflecting on his childhood, giving reasons and analysis as to why he acted in certain ways in different situations. Jin letting go of the balloon MIGHT BE symbolic as to him letting go of his innocence and finally succumbing to temptation. That's why you can see him kissing the winged statue in the next scene, which MIGHT be the devil.

Is that why the next scene is tae who plays a fallen angel who gave in to his own temptations smirked when Jin kissed the statue?

[@sitonetgni]

Linda This is just my theory. I think Taehyung already gave in to the temptation that’s why he’s represented as “fallen angel”.. meaning, he’s already fallen into the temptations and he was also trying to tempt the other members that’s why he smirked when Jin gave in.

I would recommend you to react to "map of the soul: 7" as it's their latest album (came out earlier this year) I think before reacting to it though, you have to research a little bit about what map of the soul is, because it's quite a complex theory. There is this psychologist/philosopher that came up with it, named Carl Jung (student of the famous Freud philosopher). You can do that either beforehand, to get to know the basics or, you can actually combine it with your album reaction as there are explanation videos for the 3 more important parts of it ( Persona, Shadow, Ego). I would recommend the "explained by a Korean" videos (they're in Eng). BTS's albums are NO JOKE. They always have a storyline and they always try to tell/teach you something. This specific album has 20 songs with each member having a solo song and all kinds of combinations of members doing other songs. As a die hard Pink Floyd fan, the concept albums that they do reminded me of PF. Even though the music is obviously very different, there is unbelievable attention to detail, and they also give you the feeling that they don't do music just for the shake of it, but they speak through it. This album is quite special to them as 2020 is their 7 year anniversary (hence the 7 part) and they are 7 of them ( hence 7 solo songs from each one). All of the guys are generally deeply involved into the music making processes (writing lyrics, melodies and even producing - especially the rappers), but this album is actually extra personal and it tells all their stories.

Really appreciate your structural analysis of the song! It makes casual listeners appreciate the craft so much more fully.

Fun fact: the last 4 upward scooping notes ...are the melody for another song. They played the sample in reverse, slowed it down and Spring Day was born. I thought that was really clever.

[@scrapsbyalmedina]

you should definitely check out their full album Wings, Love Yourself: Tear or the latest one Map of The Soul: 7. they have many others but these are just so so so good, their golden albums. i recommend the Love Yourself: Tear for starters

This is like the best music video of bts when it comes to artistry. Every painting and statue has its meaning. Like the first painting shown is about the fall of Lucifer so you can relate it to the battle between good and evil. There's also a painting of Icarus which represent like temptation. Everything is just amazing!!!

RM has produced over 90% of BTS’ songs and Suga produces and writes over 300 songs a year

[@meli_he]

whether you’re a new army or not, please don’t take the “who is bts” introduction videos as fact. Yes namjoon writes a good chunk of their lyrics (e.g. 80% of MOTS:Persona) and yoongi is an amazing producer, but the numbers are outdated or too blown up. listen to what they say in their own vlives if you can

[@T7Karou]

Rm taked more part on the lyrics rather than the production part and 90% is too much sincd he doesn't do it alone lol. 300 songs a year...at least not anymore, he said he has been working less lately

[@ORUL82oo]

he is more involved with lyrics than production. i think the 90% came from his live where he spoke about his contribution to the lyrics of mots persona. to address another reply i don’t think 90% is too much, given what he said, but perhaps if was a little less for 7 given how much more the vocal line contributed. obvi hobi & yoongi writing most of their verses. if you look at the credits in the album booklet you can see the producers written outside the brackets and songwriters written (lyrics, composition, etc) inside them, i think this is where the confusion comes from.

BTS are the one of the greatest artist in the world for a reason because they got multi-talented members,music producer as a member , song writer as a member , dancer as a member basically they are Genius in all aspects.Proud be an Army.

[@lauren0047]

I know that you kinda react to the sound of the music as a producer, but it would be great if you read the lyrics as well. Music videos usually have English captions you can switch on, or if it's too much to keep track of at the same time, you can read translations online. Their lyrivs are sobpoetic and go so deep and the best part about their music. :) And you have no idea how deep their music and mvs are haha

[@iamscoliosisgirl]

agree! that’s the thing that I noticed about his vid reaction too

[@ines1084]

YES

[@akk9999]

no other MV can come close to blood sweat and tears like ever... the esthetics are on point..... its the MV that brought me to bts and i am an proud Army now...!!
