METAL VOCALIST REACTS TO - Spring Day / Not Today 2017 MV's Part 1

[@tanc136]

It doesn’t matter how many times you watch or listen to this song it always gets me. Any video of the 7 these days always gets me in the feels

[@deanaleffler1729]

The synchronization of the choreography is just sick in Not Today. I have never seen another group be so in sync with everyone. It just blows my mind.

[@CingDbl]

Spring Day the Queen of BTS. So beautiful. It hits hard every time I hear it. And Not Today powerful and the choreography is incredible. Love that your are going in chronological order with the MV. Will be here the whole way. 2017 strong finish with Mic Drop.

[@melissacurtis9492]

The story behind spring day mv is heartbreaking, BTS did an amazing job portraying the nations heartbreak of the 300+ childrens lives lost. 😢

[@jkk4303]

It’s always go back to BTS’s beginnings, so refreshing and they are still relevant and awesome! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@teresanike7181]

The part where V sings you are my best friend kills me every time , how he sings it with such emotion it just tugs at your heart strings. Bts are amazing relating emotion when they sing and rap along with their videos.

[@somolmean3980]

You’re right! I feel the same as you. BTS is the only group that I don’t ever want to see disband. They are sooo good together. I would fall apart if God forbid something bad happen to one of them 😢

[@Saranghae68]

AH Spring Day the song that pulled me down the BTS rabbit hole. My daughter was already a fan and she had Spring Day on I just happened to walk in on Tae's solo part the " you know it all, you're my best friend" and I was who is that, his voice is amazing and so she took me on the ride with her and 7 years on still going strong. It never ceases to amaze me how these guys talk about such serious issues and have talked on societal issues too in ways that are none preachy but in a way that resonates with their audience

[@psychokitty71]

They do the "Woah's" at the end of Spring Day when they sing it live during the Tiny Desk Concert. It's all of them except maybe Suga and RM. When they sing it live, you can actually hear when Hobi comes in. He sings the lowest part.

[@pameladavis45]

The guys are just soooo versatile. Slow fast easy going hard driving...whatever the mood or tone they're on top of it! So talented!!!!!

[@SilverSeaOT7]

John, Boracity just cited you several times on her new video- BTS are Rockstars!

[@JohnReavesLive]

How freakin awesome 🤯🤯🤯 I’m so stoked right now 💜💜

[@barbaraspeckarmy]

Thanks for mentioning this, I watched that video, very interesting.. and it was nice to see some familiar faces there 😊

[@imajinallthepurple]

10:44 Ugh, way too relatable! 😢 I can't wait to see them all back together again. Regarding the voices I believe the ending of Spring Day was done by all of them together which is probably why you couldn't make out who it was 😅 and the screams in Not Today I'm pretty sure are JK's doing. 🤔 It's quite eye-opening going through the videos chronologically; you can really see the development in style, attitude and ability that way. 💜

[@Keikogir1]

I watched the MV because of the Sewol Ferry disaster. I saw the lyrics mentioned the Snowpiercer, which I knew was a movie starring Chris Evans & directed by a Korean (Bong Joon Ho). I decided to watch it. I see the reference to the constantly moving train, winter, a longing for spring to come & missing loved ones. Also, the 17 years of hierarchy within the train is intense. Very good film.

[@dianacampuzano1936]

I didn’t get to see this live with you but I have to agree with you when you say: This group is probably the only group that would really bum me out if they ever separated. I do also feel they are so glued to each other in ways we will never understand. I truly believe they feel more as one and at piece when ALL 7 are together.. 💜💜💜💜💜💜… and will be together for next 50+ years … love them for what they do..

[@sallylonghurst4414]

Spring Day gets me every time. 😢 But it also reminds me to be thankful for what I have got. 💜

[@TehMomo_]

14:19 i can imagine the whiplash... like first is spring day...a solemn song about missing loved ones and then BAM. Not Today drops.

[@lisevail4264]

2 of my all-time favorite BTS songs! I’ve wondered if ‘Spring Day’ could be rereleased, in English, for the Western market, since it’s so very good. ‘Not Today’ for some reason makes me think about Ukraine’s persistent courage… Don’t be defeated!-not today.💜

[@genovevalara3989]

You may see Spring Day Explain, I just don’t remember the KZbin channel that explained it.

[@cynthiabrinker466]

Please also watch the spring day performance from the Dear Class of 2020 The whole thing is great but when they sing spring day it is just so beautiful especially because of what was happening at that time with Covid.

[@marinal.]

yes

[@tinaalbers7749]

My daughter shared BTS with me & some videos. Then after they were at UN I thought ok I’ll watch a video & it Not Today. I was 😳. Down I went after that and I will be forever grateful. Got to see them perform it live in Chicago 2019 made me forget how damn cold I was.

[@희-y2j]

봄날은 명곡이에요 저희 한국에서도. 여전히 인기있는곡입니다~~~

[@JackInTheBox0294]

Yes, since 2017

[@Raynstor.m]

The last song should be Mic Drop. That’s the first video of BTS I ever saw and it had just came out and showed up in my search while looking for an episode of Drop the Mic the Celebrity Battle Rap show. I saw the video and said to myself, “what is this?”, clicked on it and took the bait. BTS caught me with hook line and sinker. I absolutely loved it and happily went down the rabbit hole and still haven’t seen all their content. I am OT7 ARMY until my last breath. 💜🫰

[@_filifjonkan4290]

I was in the crowd in Stade the France when the crowd was singing Mic Drop before the concert. Unforgettable!

[@parasempre7perfeitos]

At the risk of being repetitive: Jk is incredible!!!! BTS is unparalleled😍😍😍💜💜💜

[@Josieb4008]

FYI: The scene where the ninjas are throwing up clothes is from a scene in an EPIC Korean TV series JUMONG. I invite everyone to watch the first episode you will not be disappointed! That scene is in the first episode.

[@barbaraspeckarmy]

Thats interesting.. now im curious where to watch this 😊

[@sallycapotosto6927]

Congratulations on being featured on Boracity's video today!

Please feel free to go off on a long tangent, as you did, any time you like. We love seeing & listening to what you have to say about our beloved boys. Thanks for another insightful & personal reaction video.

[@normacruz6345]

This song has been attached to the Sewol Fairy Disaser. The Pile of clothing, the shoes by the shore. It was a very sad time in Korea. Check it out John.

[@dauneharrison5470]

It’s Jin singing those vocals😊

[@Happy_IBT]

Yes! I knew it! It's jin's voice 💜

[@7toheavan4ever54]

When they do it live, it's all of the vocalists together. So I think it's all 4 together here too 💜

[@jiyn_xiayu]

Hobi is singing at the end as well so it's everyone except RM and Suga. They do such a great job blending their vocals.

[@7toheavan4ever54]

[@reneezemlock7880]

I'm pretty sure the "owhoaho"s at the end are all of them. They all sing them during Tiny Desk and other lives I've seen.

[@cathydimaria6454]

BTS

[@colettemr]

I truly believe the ending was a harmony of the vocal line. I heard both Jimin and Jin and they needed deeper voices so V and JK added would be that perfect mix.

[@marinal.]

Hi, I am back. Good reaction. I love this song. It's so beautiful. I did not cry when I heard the song or saw the video for the 1st time. It did touch my heart though. One of my fav's for sure. The first time I heard the song was in Dear Class Of 2020. If you have not watched pls do. It's awesome. I loved this performance a lot. Spring Day for me is a sad hopeful song. I get melancholy feels from it. This song is a Queen because it's on the charts so many years. Stores play it in Korea because ppl want to remember and never forget. BTS made this one to help ppl remember. I think that's just amazing! stay safe. -2019 ARMY NY USA 💜 Thanks Nurain Nabilah Salehuddin for sharing your opinion. 11.20.2020 1) Hobi's lyrics: With the "Annyeong" that we start and finish the day, let's thread tomorrow with today at 2:08 "annyeong" basically means 'hi' in Korean, and it also means 'bye'. So the meaning behind it is you say "annyeong"(hi) to a person today and "annyeong"(bye) at the end. Then, tomorrow you're gonna say annyeong(hi) again to that person. making the "annyeong" thing connect like a thread. 2) Last scenes they were at the ON:E concert they shoot it right after they finished the concert i-- And also i think the reason why they use black and white filter in the last scenes when they were at the venue was because it symbolizes the past. Meaning the memories they had of their concert and it goes well with the lyrics "I remember..." " Rather than impactful songs, we put in songs (in the album) that will stay/last with us for a long time." - Min Yoongi every Agust D enthusiast when Suga does the mmm mmm mmm mmm: WHY SO SERIOUS?!?!?! Iris Flower said I think what RM also means by “I’m human after all” is that you can’t outrun life (he used metaphor in trying to outrun the rainy cloud). Things happen beyond our control and we don’t know what curveballs life will throw our way. But what we can do is take care of ourselves and each other, be grateful for what we have, push forward and keep hope, because life does go on and things constantly change. Thank you -Nari for this amazing comment; This song was really one of healing & comfort. It spoke about how the current pandemic affected BTS but Suga reassures us (Army) that despite all that has happened & all that is going on, "thankfully between me & you nothing's changed", insinuating that the mutual love & support BTS has for us & we have for them remains the same. V's part spoke a lot about how this pandemic seems like it has "no end in sight" & "is there a way out" which it has come to seem like for them & a lot of us. He even looks at the stadium where they last performed in 2019, signifying that they miss the army & performing so much. RM's part spoke about it "looking like it'll rain again" & how he/they're "soaked to the bone" which highlights that they're very much saddened & drained by all that's happened with this pandemic but when he expresses "still won't stop, running faster than the cloud of rain" it shows that nothing, even this pandemic, will stop them from persisting & doing what they love. Jin also highlighted that we should close our eyes & "run away to that future" implying that we should be hopeful of the future, which will reunite us (the Army) with them again. That's why when he sings that line he's in their dorm, but when he closes his eyes & opens them, they're all in the stadium. Many also speculate that when they were in the vehicle & Jin looks back, he represents BTS (all 7 of them) looking at the army & making sure they're okay. The last scene, shows the guys all dressed up in their outfits ready to perform, but the stadium is empty & light-up globes usually associated with the Army, are used to represent us. This MV was also directed by JK & written by RM, Suga & J-Hope!! ❤ Good reaction(Not Today), ty. Love this song too. This was filmed at an open-pit stone quarry in Danyang, north Chungcheong province in Korea. The stage was made of polished stainless steel sheets that would be called in “mirror finish” in architecture/construction. M. Michèle Thomas said on 7/29/21 Not Today was filmed at an open-pit stone quarry in Danyang, north Chungcheong province in Korea. It was very cold and the white patches are actually snow. The large round reflective surface was polished stone, maybe granite? I can't remember which stone but there is a making of for this video that you can check out on Bangtan TV channel. bembolbug said The stage was made of polished stainless steel sheets that we would call in “mirror finish” in architecture/construction. You could actually see the squares of each sheet from some of the angles when zoomed out. It probably looks frosted from the dirt and dust from their shoes (think sorta of how we get like fingerprint oil smudges on glass screens etc.). This material is actually sometimes used in lieu of glass mirrors for being much less delicate and easier to maintain. Sunshine Sam said on 1/20/22 This is such an anthem and hype song. This song is actually the follow-up track to Spring Day. While that song is about the feeling of missing someone, this song speaks about the will to survive and fight. I love the beginning quote from Namjoon “All the underdogs in the world A day may come when we lose But it is not today Today we fight” Karan Kamble said on 1/20/22 In addition to the MLK connection, "Not Today" takes inspiration from the Lord of the Rings :) The music video by itself can be linked to LOTR film elements, but even the lines at the beginning of the song - "... A day may come when we lose. But it is not today. Today we fight." - are similar to Aragorn's in the "Return of the King" - "A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!" 💜 Here is the dance practice kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYHaip2EnZaVrdk (easy to miss, but check out JK's moves at 2:05 in that video). This is the behind the scenes making of the MV with english subs kzbin.info/www/bejne/ammvi3lof6hki7c . Here is a live performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGfZnoBrpryoa7s ....it's the final in Seoul and I picked this one because I can't get over their suits.....so handsome and powerful. Thanks for reacting. @hopeandsprite5101 said on 5/16/23 The lyrics speaks of overcoming obstacles and keep fighting, while instilling hope in oneself. RM said he wrote this lyrics for bts so that they don’t stay silent against social issues and injustice. As always, enjoyed the video guys🤩 @LPnerd said on 5/16/23 also, to tell ARMY we can make a change if we work together! It's about not giving up. AMBER PEARCE said on 1/9/22 Very brief summary of the members when they joined BigHit: They have 3 rapper: RM: before BTS was a underground rapper Suga (aka Agust D): before BTS was a producer and underground rapper in another city Jhope: was a locally known street dancer and won many awards. He learned rap after joining BTS 4 vocalists: Jin: before BTS was in school to be an actor. When he joined BTS he learned how to sing, rap, and dance from scratch. Jimin: before he was in BTS he was the top student at school or arts for contemporary dancing. He knew some hip hop dance too. V: his family were poor farmers and learned the saxophone. One day he accompanied his friend to Big Hit auditions in support. on a whim he decided to audition when asked by staff. He was the only one to pass auditions from his town. Jungkook: is the youngest member. Joined BTS when he was in middle school. He went to audition to become a singer. He didn’t pass the auditions but was approached by 7 different agencies. He decided on Big Hit because “RM was cool so I wanted to sign.” Yep, he got to see RM perform and fell for him. =0}

[@anitralarae_mahjacat]

According to this Romanized Lyric Translation, Jungkook does the screamy part of "Not Today" kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqDQo6Sdj56Llbs&ab_channel=%E2%80%A2minamochi%E2%80%A2 According to the Wiki, "...Band member Jungkook provided backing vocals for the track alongside Arlissa Ruppert..."

I'm glad someone decided to give him that part in their live performances. In the NPR Tiny Desk Home Concert, we get a really nice , unhurried close-up of Hoseok and he sounds and looks so lovely singing that opening.

[@LM-xw1hf]

@@katherineann8463 I’ve never been able to find out why he doesn’t have lines in the official audio. Do you know why?

[@katherineann8463]

@@LM-xw1hf Short answer: Bighit never has explained or even mentioned it. Speculations from Quora and other sources: RM saw that in live performances, JH would never get any close-up camera time, since all his lines are backing vocals, so he gave JH the opening lines. Sounds to me like a very RM thing to notice and make right. We do see JH all through the video. Riding on top of the train with that beautiful sky behind him, I think of a guardian angel flying above, caring for them all. And inside the train, he's the one watching Jimin and reaching out to comfort him.
