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

Damn right! He' s handsome and that's a fact!

[@apfowlow]

“I don’t know who I like the most.” -- welcome to the ARMY life. We start with having a bias (favorite), but then a ‘bias wrecker’ comes on and confuses the hell out of us. Hence, we end up being OT7 (one to 7), meaning we like all of them. BTS is 7, and we stan all of them, rightly so. Now, you understand. 💜

[@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.

[@aja4457]

I WAS JUST SAYING!!! LOL love it

[@ryeahraji]

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.

[@abydosww]

Namjoon wrote the song. It’s about HIS fear. He’s the only member credited

[@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 ✌😊

Whoever said you “need” a bias is wrong. There are a lot of fans who don’t have a bias; if it happens it happens, if it doesn’t it doesn’t. As long as you respect all 7 and recognize that BTS is 7, its all good.

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.

[@VioletSkylovesKimTaehyung]

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.

“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.

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.

"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.

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…. :)

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.

[@chayra7517]

100% couldn’t have worded this better! They’re all the same level of having no insecurities and just want each other to shine. It’s so inspirational to me.

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.

Oh my heart! Black Swan!! I’m a 66-year-old white female from the USA, and I’ve been ARMY since June 2019. I am living proof that BTS bypasses gender, generational, and geographical boundaries, not to mention the language barrier. I just discovered your channel on Saturday, July 31st, and have been binge-watching your BTS reaction videos. You bring such knowledge, skill and, dare I say it, joy to the table with these videos that I find myself clapping and laughing right along with you. Thank you so much for respecting these young men! You talk about their hard work (signed with BigHit in 2010 when the youngest was only 13 and the oldest was 18, worked 12-16 hours a day for three years before their debut on 06/13/2013), their skill, their artistry, and all the many things that go into making them the global superstars they are today. I never appreciated rap/hip-hop until I heard it through the messages that BTS conveys. I start every day with my favorite song - 2017’s “Not Today”. RM starts it with “All you underdogs in the world, a day may come when we lose, but it is NOT TODAY. Today we fight!”. The hook is, “Run if you can’t fly (today we will survive), walk if you can’t run (today we will survive), crawl if you can’t walk (crawl to gear up), Ready! Aim! Fire!”. It gives me hope and energy for each day. Here’s the link in case you haven’t heard it yet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3Xaq3V_eLWbmq8 I will keep watching you! Borahae!

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.

Anthony: Keeps replaying the song/music video Me: Keeps replaying his reaction Lol your face is so transparent, I love your passion about music and appreciation of each of the boys. Welcome to the ARMY! And your ending song 👌🏼🔥

[@marar8045]

The ballet Swan Lake’s main character is turned into a white swan which the prince must save. There is a black swan (played by the same ballerina) who tempts the prince so he’ll love her instead. It’s basically purity vs seductress. There’s also the movie Black Swan which was based on this same ballet, where the main character who plays the swans is a very nice and pure girl but she goes crazy as she dives into her dark side to be able to play the black swan. A black swan is also an event that takes you by surprise, which is why this MV was dropped out of the blue when nobody expected it. A swan song is also a metaphor for death or a last performance since it comes from the belief that swans sing right before they die.

Anthony: "I don't know who I like the most" Me: I totally understand. ✋🏼😩

Suga explains what the song is about as soon as he starts rapping/singing: "The heart no longer races, when hearing the music play, tryna pull up, seems like time has stopped, oh that would be my first death, I been always afraid of". 💜

Favorite BTS song ever! I love how they’re not afraid to talk about their fears.. in particular their fear as artists to loose their love for music

[@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.

[@gitanjaligodara1401]

Martha Graham's Quote "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." This quote by the late dancer Martha Graham is at the root of the sentiments inlaid in "Black Swan." Much like a dancer feels purposeless when they can no longer express themselves through dance, BTS contends that the day that music no longer fills them with the same passionate fire as before, or even if there came a day when they stopped creating music - what they feel is their life's purpose - it would feel like death

I think the lyrics "do your thang" and "film it now" do represent the external pressures on them from media and even from fans. We always want more from them; we want the next big thing. These pressures and their constant hard work are what they fear could kill their passion for music. But in the lyrics they also conquer this fear at the end, and vow to never let it happen.
