MAMAMOO 'Paint Me' & 'Starry Night' MV REACTION | DG REACTS

[@DS-tz6rm]

Paint me was the time when moomoos freaked out because it was the first time when moonbyul sang in a song. It has a different place in our heart. It was an intro to the 4 season 4 color projects where the girls present each color with an album. Like Solor - Blue, Moonbyul - Red, Wheein - White, Hwasa - Yellow. When this era was done they started the concerts with this song. It's so epic. I hope you check out the live stage for it. Thank you for the reaction 💚

Starry Night is one of my favorite Mamamoo songs and MVs. I am so glad that you reacted to it.

[@fabricemaire4433]

vocals everywhere ,the photography and the sets in Mamamoo's mv's are incredible in paint me, Stary night, Decalcomania and where are we now. I'm always impressed by their Mv's and the artistic direction. their outfit their makeup all is perfect.

[@kalaksed]

Oh, and "paint me" was the official introduction of vocalist moonbyul. As in, her actually singing for an officially released group song (she'd harmonized with members prior, of course) She had released unofficial songs prior and you prob'ly saw her singing at various points in mmmtv, but she never got to do it for their official songs before this The other members, esp solar, put their collective foot down and said they wouldn't do a song without byul actually singing with them, though i don't recall if they did that with "paint me" or the fan song "star wind flower sun" (originally written by solar, like most of their fan songs. This particulat one being a love letter to the other members as well as to the fans)

[@jjjulia127]

MoonByul always writes rap herself in EVERY song, so now she has 110 credits under her name, and she is #1 female artist (3rd gen) and #1 female artist (overall).

[@raaluv4]

No she’s the most female artist to write her song in all gens

[@hq3727]

@@raaluv4 Moonbyul is #1 female idol with 110 credits, but #2 as female overall. Mirae is at #1 with 139 credits. :)

Paint Me, WOW!!! And Starry Night is my favorite and I know it's my favorite exactly by watching it again, the MV is just so beautiful, the colors, the lightning, the sun, the moon, the contrasts, but not only that, the transitions perfectly matching the lyrics and the feel of the song, the lyrics, everything about Starry Night is just perfect.

[@fromiizone]

Starry Night is still my favorite song from Mamamoo. The prechorus and chorus gives me chills.

[@ЕвгенияБондарь-ю6д]

you finally react to Starry Night!!!!!!! thanks for this! it`s my fav song and MV by them, it`s fab brilliant masterpiece. so glad you heard it too, song deserves more attention

[@kudgeond755]

I have a different take on the You in Paint Me. There are multiple layers to both the song and the deceptively simple MV and Paint Me is the theme song for the 4 Season 4 Color series that introduces all the major concepts and cyclical symbolism used throughout the project. The most obvious interpretation of Paint Me is as a love song, following the progression from being alone (white) to being attracted (yellow) to falling passionately in love (red) to heartbreak when it ends (blue). The next level is a life cycle, starting with the innocence of childhood (white), then adolescence (yellow), adulthood (red) and old age (blue) leading to death (black). Black is not included in the 4S4C color scheme however it's mentioned in the lyrics and it's the only color in taoist 5 element color theory not included in the 4S4C colors. I don't think it's a coincidence that the follow up album to the 4S4C albums is called "reality in BLACK" (BLACK = Bless Life And Carry Knowledge). Imo the last scene in Paint Me implies an ongoing cycle of lives via reincarnation. The opening scenes are mostly set in an abstract white or black space with a contrasting black or white piano and a member dressed in her assigned color. We're nowhere specific in a primal zone of yin and yang, perhaps before birth. Then the first color is introduced, White, representing the innocence of childhood and of not being in love. They go through all the colorful experiences of life and love during the song and at the end of life they're seen in a nebulous black & white zone dressed in black or white in a return to the primal, universal forces we started with. The lightning in the background represents the spark of creation imo - as this life ends, another begins. The song is structured as a series of waves that rises slightly towards the end but doesn't build to the climax you'd expect in a love song and as the song finishes Solar's voice trails off like a wave gently receding at low tide. Obviously MMM knows how to make a climactic ending if they want to so this is an artistic choice and my interpretation is that it's a part of the musical representation of the idea that this is just one life in an ongoing series of life cycles. Finally, there's the real subject of the song, the You. I agree with the theory that Paint Me is about their relationship with Music - that's the You they're singing to. There are a several clues in the MV and the lyrics, starting with the elephant in the room - the black & white pianos, the only recognizable objects in the whole MV. Elemental forces are depicted like fire, water, light and air (moving clouds) but there are no realistic sets and no other props. Note that they're transported from the initial B&W abstract set to the full color world in the clouds via the lid of the piano Solar sits on. We see the clouds on (or through) the lid and then they're transported as though the lid is a door or a gateway into a life of many colored experiences, where the B&W pianos reappear fitted together in a yin-yang formation. Music serves two functions - it's their means of expression and it brings meaning to their lives. It's the music of the spheres making the universe work in perfect harmony and it's the soundtrack of their lives moving in rhythm to the beat of seasonal and relationship cycles. You were struck by the line about espresso, which is a very odd line in what is ostensibly a love song. If you look at the lyrics you may notice that 4 of the 5 senses are included, espresso representing taste. Imo they're all metaphors for the one sense not mentioned - hearing, our way of experiencing music. I've blabbed on too long so I won't comment about Starry Night

[@DGReacts]

Appreciate the time you took to put this together, love your take!

[@kudgeond755]

@@DGReacts You're welcome. You like to analyze lyrics so I thought you might appreciate an alternate interpretation. Those are the basic points but there's more going on in the MV like the seasonal images and the morphing faces of the members. I obsessed over Paint Me when it first came out and could rattle off theories about it in my sleep. It was unlike anything MMM had done before, a vocal masterpiece with a deceptively simple MV that combined to reveal multiple symbolic layers. Imo MMM didn't get enough credit for the song or the 4 Season 4 Color four album series, the most complex and ambitious project ever done by a girl group in kpop or elsewhere. Paint Me was my pick for SOTY and I thought MMM should have won a 2018 Artist of the Year award.

[@DGReacts]

I appreciate it, especially coming from someone who knows this concept as well as yourself. It's never about "being right" for me, I don't think that there's a "right" answer (unless the artist/creator themselves say otherwise, and even then) but there are interpretations that make more sense than others, and yours hit the nail for sure. I don't understand the comments that laugh or talk shit about how "off" I am and that I don't know what I'm talking about, for some it may not make sense, for others it might, I can only speak about how the MV makes me feel, and I always welcome people to speak their mind and express their thoughts. So thank you so much, hope to see you in the comment section again in a future MMM video!

[@kudgeond755]

@@DGReacts Great art is open to many interpretations (that's one of the reasons it's great art) and Paint Me is an excellent example. I was disappointed to see a moomoo I respect telling you that you were wrong as usual. Imo that's rude, unnecessary, arrogant and just plain a 'wrong' thing to say. Artists can tell us their intentions in making a song but they can't tell us how to feel about it. In MMM's case they usually only give general summaries of the theme and rarely go into detail about the meaning of their songs and MVs. They leave it up to us to interpret for ourselves and given their wild imaginations (looking at you Solar, you wacko! lol) the range of possibilities is practically endless. Always enjoy hearing your take on songs and don't think I've missed any of your MMM reactions. 😂

@@DGReacts DG Reacts in know you like mamamoo and hwasa, you have to react to "hwasa documentary" To Be yourself" its 40 minutes of amazing journey of hwasa from birth.

Your reaction to MAMAMOO is the best 🤍🤍

[@kalaksed]

Oh man, glad you're doing mmmtv, as it shows so much about their interactions together and their offstage personalities, as well as how close they are to their staff And thank you for sharing these two videos on youtube. Both songs are beyond amazing (and i hope you get to check out their 4 seasons f/w concert uploaded on yt, which starts with a version of piano man)

[@Chili_Moo]

This project was called "4 Seasons" Each MAMAMOO member is assigned with an extended play, a color, and a season: Hwasa is assigned with the album *YELLOW FLOWER* , the color yellow, and the season of spring. Moonbyul is assigned with the album *RED MOON* , the color red, and the season of summer. Solar is assigned with the album *BLUE;S* , the color blue, and the season of fall. Wheein is assigned with the album *WHITE WIND* , the color white, and the season of winter. Each color is also associated with the stages of a relationship: • Yellow with the beginning of the relationship and love. • Red with the passionate romance of the relationship. • Blue with the sadness and loneliness felt during the breakup. • White with the clean and pure stage before starting to love again.

He recorded these reactions as part of mmmtv episodes for his patreon, then took the mv reactions and put them here so they are also available (for free) on youtube. These are first-time reactions to both videos, just released to us a few weeks after recording
