Hi Anthony you should watch BTS's MV analysis. The lyrics, the set, the dance, the clothes have so much meaning. I was shocked when I first watched it

He definitely tripped full on into being Army now. It can't be helped.

[@elainewoosley3488]

Their music and videos are pure visual and auditory works of art. So multilayered using their talents to perfection. That's why they are musically orthodox, equal among kings, no one member outshines the other. These haters who come in and try to tear BTS apart with Cesear's world of materialistic things, one is more handsome than the other, one's skin color is too dark. . . it's sheer noise, utter and complete nonsense. It's BTS. Indivisible. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Get with it haters.

[@KT-wg6ss]

'Black Swan' refers to the internal struggle of a person who has become used to doing what he loves the most and how the taste he had for it has completely disappeared. For example, dancers have "their first death" when they stop dancing with the same love and passion that they did before and a singer dies when the sounds of a song no longer cause them any feelings. For this reason, it is that in a video where some dancers dance this song and at the beginning of the video they put a phrase that says: "a dancer dies twice... Once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the most painful" Edit: I hope you understand, I'm not good in English man, sorry if something is wrong ✌😊

Black Swan is them talking about fearing of losing their passion in music, fearing that one day music doesnt resonate to them anymore. They dont want to lose that passion. Black swan is a masterpiece! THANK YOU FOR REACTING! and oh! Memorizing their names through hair color doesnt actually helps, talking from experience 😅 The birth of an OT7!

[@ystrw]

:laughing: Yeaaah. First time I looked them up, I was thinking, 'At least it'll be easy to tell them apart, since they all have different hair....color. Well. That's not going to work!' Learning them by their voices was much better, and easier.

Until now, I am a solid OT7 and this is so damn good and happy for it!

[@sarahgarcia6723]

True been with them since ‘13. At first I also thought I needed a bias, but after several comebacks I just decided f*** it. i can love them equally no problem, ot7 stan ftw.

[@HH-mz1bg]

How can I 'like' this comment 1000x? I always hate reading KZbin comments section that are full of solo stans. I am an Army first and foremost. When I first fell into the BTS rabbit hole in 2017, I watched a LOT of their content and followed their journey. ALL IN THEIR ENTIRETY, NOT SOME CHOPPED UP EDITED VIDEOS OF A SINGLE MEMBER. I love these guys (back then I used to call them 'boys' because I am WAY older than them, and also they were young lol). Only after a full year of being a fan and not having a bias, I finally realized that my bias is V. His warm honey voice in Spring Day cemented this, and I watched his growth from an awkward, weird and energetic boy to a confident, charismatic man. I just relate to his journey the most. But that does not mean I cannot relate to other 6 too! Every single one of them are BEYOND talented and amazing. But they also are not afraid to show everybody that they're human. This is what I feel is the biggest draw for me. So for new fans, PLEASE, YOU SHOULD NOT CHOOSE. They themselves have said it again and again, BTS IS 7.

Black Swan is created with dancer Martha Graham’s quote as a motive. “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.”

[@alokitaverma9100]

Right...n here the first death applies to their fear of loosing passion towards music,just like a dancer's.

[@venuscastrovia5024]

I truly hurts I stopped dancing at 13 when I had been dancing since 3 and I miss it so much I can't feel the music the way I used to my heart doesn't move with the rhythm the way I used to. I truly felt like I've lost a piece of me and I want it back so bad I want to try to relearn how to dance but it's hard to save something that already died.

[@StaciCyberspace]

@@venuscastrovia5024 That sounds so familiar. I danced from age 3 to 16, and my dream was to become a professional ballerina. I was told I had the build, grace, and skill to do so. Then at 16 we discovered my second toe was slightly longer than my big toe, so no toe shoes (and basically no chance to become a pro) for me. I was crushed obviously. But years later I met a professional ballerina and saw her bare feet. I was quite grateful, for that small amount of time, that I never forced my feet into toe shoes lol. Happy/sad relating.

[@quatzxice]

You can say this about every artist who stop doing their art but I suppose dancers have physical aging to deal with where they are forced to stop so it's a sure thing for them.

[@redsicat01]

“Black Swan” tells the story of a dancer, an artist, who fears the death of their career: the moment when they can no longer perform on stage. The moment when music no longer touches BTS's hearts or stirs their passion is the moment when the specter of that “first death”. Song was written by: RM, PDogg, August Riggo, and Clyde Kelly

[@abydosww]

No it doesn’t. Its about an artist losing their passion for the music. Written by Joon.

[@ami2017angel]

Main lyricist RM. He is a genius and have beautiful soul. He cried a lot while writing lyrics thinking of their past.

[@LisaIdentity]

Which is why is such a beautiful song.. MOTS7 album hits entirely different than a lot of their albums when you dig deeper into each song. It is a more in depth, in their feelings, album. I really love the orchestra’s MV version a lot too. It gives such an visual representation of the song.

[@singularity553]

BTS doesn't have any issues with letting other members shine, they don't have egos like that and I think that's one of the main reasons they've lasted so long together. They promote each other's solo works so hard you'd think it was theirs lol and even show up at the solo video shots for moral support.They value each others individual contributions and strengths.

[@dreamer-fd8qc]

I am truly impressed by the comments in this videos, I feel the real Army really respect OT7 ,some others forget that their individuality merges to create masterpieces

[@jerryanngray7794]

Each one has done individual photo shoots to promote songs and albums. Each of them have said they miss their members. They don't care for doing things by themselves. Suga and RM have said as they are at their individual works, they need J Hope. J Hope is sunshine and energy. They need him so they can get energy. Plus the other members miss each other as well. Now they will go to the studios of each other to visit during a break. For support. Even when they are on a break, they miss each other. I love how they take turns cooking. Looks like Suga and Jin are the head chefs. J Hope will clean after meals, V will do dishes. RM will also help clean up. JK will cook once in awhile. Jimin is usually all over the place. Helping where needed. They know each other well. Love when they are resting or traveling someplace, they will make sure to eat dinner together and they are happy and laughing then. Yup, Anthony is Army now.

"A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." ~ Martha Graham What happens to an artist when they can no longer do what they love - to create, to perform, to express? And which is worse: losing the ability to do it, or losing the passion for it?

You have to love the fact that not only is the concept based on Martha Graham's quote, the choreography is a modern dance ballet and set in a magnificent old theater.

[@ystrw]

As a writer who hasn't been able to write throughout this wretched pandemic, those questions were sitting inside me for quite a while. Finding this MV- and BTS- made me feel like they really understood that fear, and reminded me that when you pull your fears out into the light, they often aren't as ominous as they seemed. I started to feel like I didn't need to worry, the creativity wasn't gone for good. And then they inspired me with 'Fire' (the award show version), and things are really starting to look up, creativity-wise. :) I owe them for that, and I won't forget it.

“ A dancer dies twice. Once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the most painful." so the song is exploring what it is to lose passion for what you Love doing. In their case is music, but you can generalize and apply it to an individual's artistic passion. This was the first song I ever heard by BTS. It came at one of my lowest points during the pandemia. I spent a good 2 to 3 hours researching EVERYTHING I could immediately after hearing it. Became ARMY instantly 💜 this song is so special! RM wrote this song 💜

I absolutely love how you had to restart it over and over and watch it again and again. I literally can’t get enough of this song. It’s impossible to get tired of it. Suga’s start and RM’s bit are major key to the meaning of this song, imo. They talk about how the “first death” is when music doesn’t make them react anymore. It’s about how important music is to their lives. It’s a massive part of their souls- hence the shadows…. :)

Love your reaction to this.. This song is underrated, not all fans love it coz it's kinda darker and not heavy on the choreography but this is art & psychological treatment as well.. You really are a great reactor.

the fact that I binge watch you binge watch BTS is.... I love that you have fallen completely into the rabbit hole. It's wide and VERY deep. "What is Black Swan? I got to know!" then whips out phone. Dude, no Jimin out now... LOL

[@abhiramijs5030]

An artist dies twice. First when the art leaves them and the first death is the most painful. That is what Black Swan is about. That's the first death they're talking about, how a song never enters their heart anymore. The death depicted here is more painful than all physical death combined. The song is darker than dark. It's a void with a music.

Every time I see them each one amazed me in some way. They compliment each other so well. Together they are awesome but how they allow each other to have moments of standing out is one of the best things about them. I've enjoyed their music more than any other group since discovering them in 2019, but what I love the most is the love Nd and respect they have for each other. It shows in everything they do.

[@mariaeduardamoreira4976]

The entire concept of the song and MV starts from the phrase "every artist has two deaths, the first is when he stops making art", everything then continues to show their feelings and thoughts during the difficult phase they went through in 2018, depression, hate, pressure, etc. ( Sorry for the language mistakes, english isn't my first language ) :)

[@squarepeg1863]

The first part of this song talks about their love of each other, the group and the music they make. If the time comes where they are no longer love what they do or the feel the music in their heart then that will be the first death. The second half of the song talks about how they live their life very publicly and they pour their heart and soul into the music. Every song they created expresses their doubt, fears and anxiety but they continue because they have learned who they are and found themselves in the music. PS: I found BTS in 2018 at the end of the Love Yourself era just before MAP of the Soul came out. The rap line pulled me in but then the vocal line made me stay. I still don't have a bias. I love each of them not only for their talent but for who they are as individuals. They are special and truly unique.

the black swan is about the first death of the artist, when the artist looses contact with their art, and their heart, embrace your shadow self, love your whole self, darkness and light, broken and whole to become your art, you and your brothers become art. BTS is Art.

[@christyfielding7498]

This song is about the trajedy of an artist falling out of love with their craft or art. Like in the beginning suga says something like the heart doesnt beat when the music plays. Meaning he doesnt get that hyped up feeling when he/they perform/create their music.

[@mochiwithjiminjam]

@@alygali1699 That's BTS in a nutshell 😄💜

[@Shannanagins14]

From what I gather, the premise of this song is that it's coming from an artist's perspective. For example a dancer or musician either losing their physical ability or passion for what they do. For anyone that has ever held that talent or passion only to lose it is considered a type of death.. the FIRST death. The second death refers to actual death. Meaning losing your ability or passion is actually worse than dying because you are left to suffer the loss until you actually die. I genuinely relate to this song and it gets me emotional to this day.

[@laniejs4025]

I really resonate with this song (thank you RM and all for this masterpiece) because it speaks on the death of one’s creative spirit, the death of love for your craft. When the music no longer stirs my heart, that will be my first death. By the end of the song, we’ve come full circle. We have a choice as artists when it feels like our soul has died in this craft- we can let it die or we can let those dark waves come and recede and cultivate a new soul with what’s left. This way, we know now that we can endure anything when it comes to our art.

[@Pikaxsu]

To be honest - Anthony has the looks also.. Friend came to suprise visit yesterday, well not justa friend but anyway! She told us she had seen a good looking guy in the street and she decided to get assertive ang got him to come to her and ask her number - good for her! But my friend, she showed this good looking guy's picture, and instanstly I noticed he looked bit like a Anthony - but honestly not as good looking! So I showed my friend Anthony. On mute and just under a minute. "This is the guy your good looking man remineded me instantly - this is the guy, whose videos I binge watched all last night while smart people are sleeping.. But I love his videos." My friend said instantly "I can see the resembelance and and i can _see_ why you were watching his videos all night!" (What can I say, I have friends with good taste.) And she saw under a minute clip on mute Anthony simping on BTS.. (She's not a ARMY {yet}) But honestly I love your videos because you get quite often what is the point of an MV's and song's story. I'm into smart men. (Giving a loud-talking side eye towards husband, who got his toenails ripped off today, because he was stupid.) but yeah.. Min-genius, or RM.. Darn give me Jinius! *sigh*

[@honsool1554]

It's connected with SUGA's song "Interlude: Shadow"

[@SalaryNue]

Yes!! The whole map of the soul album revolves around shadow, ego, persona; peak points Suga's intro Shadow, RM's middle conversation Persona, Jhope's closure Ego. This song is also about the struggle between those three, with the main topic of the fear of losing your passion about the art/work you do. Like other comments pointed out “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful". Dangerous ambitions, the yearning for more fame and money and other dark thoughts (what you want to deny in yourself: shadow) are clashing with the realistic part of you (mediator, idealistic: ego). And your façade (impose a desirable image, often requires wearing a mask: persona) is there for you to get what you want/desire. If you keep a balance, you will reach your "self". This song is about fighting and making a peace with your demons (shadow), accepting your mask (persona) as an artist (and idol in their case) and knowing yourself realistically (ego). Yes I am acting, wearing a mask (persona), hiding my true desires (shadow), but that is needed (ego); the important thing in my life is not losing my desire to keep on doing my thing.
