Classical Musicians React: Red Velvet 레드벨벳 'Cosmic'

[@ReacttotheK]

CLASSICAL MUSICIANS REACT IS BACK! SEASON 8 BEGINS! LONG PINNED COMMENT TIME, LETS GO! 🙏 For the millionth time we thank you all for your patience and continued interest in our channel! Like we mentioned at the beginning of the video, we go on film session hiatus during ESM school breaks (Dec-Jan & May-Sept), which is the first reason why our reaction releases are delayed longer than other react channels. Then, you add in the fact we have to film 8-16 different people depending on their availability during their busy college schedules, and the editing of these 16 different blabber- *cough* I mean, reactors. I (Umu) used to edit all of our videos, but then during COVID, developed chronic tendonitis which effected my ability to edit everything. This is why we now strictly rely on our monthly income to pay a handful of part-time editors! So our monthly income directly effects how quickly we can release videos :') Speaking of which... 🖥Our contract editor position application is back up! We’re looking for an experienced editor with both *high* levels of K-Pop & classical/jazz theory knowledge to join our team. Click on the following link for more info + for how to apply: forms.gle/q9MYpHF2YqCgcgC38 🎉SECONDLY, yes, this is already Season 8 of CMR! Therefore, there are a handful of new faces in this video! We plan on focusing on releasing reaction videos for now, but promise to get to an introductory video for these new reactors whthhin a month or two. ❤Craving more ReacttotheK x Red Velvet content?

Cosmic is THAT perfect song for Red Velvet 10th's anniversary. It perfectly showcases their vocals, group concept and the feeling of the girls. Bittersweet, bright, and haunting.

[@knifekat2017]

Top 10 iktr

[@Wittkin]

Even though Joy was so underused on this title track, she still manages to shine. Her voice and tone are so peculiar.

[@1발라드-g1n]

cosmic 노래 진심 역대급 명곡임 ㅠㅠ

[@kinslettzuniga930]

11:39 who's singing right now? Umu: JOOOOOOOYYYYYY!!!! i mean, same umu same 😂

[@mumunnn]

Yall DO NOT KNOW how much I've been waiting for this finalllllyyyyy

[@myaedentty149]

Right??? Me tooo. I was like checking their new video everytime (Red Velvet release new song)😂

[@SpinelSunSupMay]

Thanks! for always reacting to Red Velvet Video. Love you guys.

[@ReacttotheK]

Ofc!!! Our pleasure, thanks for your support 🫶

[@rosmaniarhasanah7814]

This song has included in my 2024 wrapped songs, my number 1 of my 5 most streaming songs

[@potatetomato]

Cosmic is really SUCH a great song. Just straight up underrated bop! (Also, peep Sean and Umu's outfits!!!!!)

[@ayenayen3806]

imo, moonshine is just perfect for RV. it's like they already know what's best for them and their concept so well, it's like a perfect partnership 😁

[@edensurfer4239]

COSMIC REACTION HELL YEAH! And yes, it has such a retro feel. I also felt an underlining of unknown sadness which somehow is being balanced with a false sense of safety and grandeur. They really did embody Midsommer well. Also idk if anyone else felt it but there's a very trance-like quality to the chorus (and secondary chorus?) I have been waiting for this reaction for 82 years, thank you for uploading the video.

[@KahunapirateTV]

The flute tangent transported me back to woodwind methods in college. Watching everyone realize how much air it takes to actually play.

[@Chan55555]

Finallyyy... Everything is make sense after they breakdown it, i can really feel the sadness😢 but in the same time also make me smiling nonstop ❤ the entire album is resonated well with me, this truly have a special place in my heart ❤

[@yayakibo1062]

Rather than sadness I would say it's longing

[@evaquintanar6798]

I listened to this song non stop this year, is addictive and so pretty and I remember always wanting to cry when Wendy sings "I just can't say goodnight" and now I know why 😂

[@shiningksg]

I never clicked so fast hahaha I was about to go to bed and the notif pop up. Thank you for reacting to RV's Cosmic. ❤

[@HorusMagestic]

I've been waiting for this reaction for so long, I'm glad it finally came.

[@iexist8099]

9:30 Red Velvet has perfected melancholic kpop. Their songs, especially their most recent title tracks have really complex emotions within them. It adds this beautiful layer of mystery to their songs and makes the listening experience so worthwhile. Chill kill, feel my rhythm and Cosmic added something to Red Velvets discography that I as their audience will forever appreciate, complexity. They've found a way to display their maturity as artists in a simple, yet distinct way that is unique only to them.

[@austriavictorczar]

THE WAY COSMIC WAS MY NUMBER 1 SONG FOR SPOTIFY WRAPPED 2024. SOTY RIGHT THERE

[@cocazade7703]

Finally! I have been looking forward to this for so long. Especially wanting to hear your reactions to the strings and punchy bassline. Thanks for posting

[@KillDjay]

Midsommar is specifically referencing an existing Swedish festival and tradition that is called midsummer lol

[@taya1554]

FINALLY COSMIC ❤ Yang ditunggu2 akhirnya up juga ❤

[@nurulhelmi6257]

Waaah ada orang Indonesia juga

[@purwatiagustina2878]

Iyaa, udah nunggu lama banget. Sesuai antrian mungkin, ya.

[@AvaPlaya13]

Lmao something about umu's tone at the outro there reminded me of the Eric Nam/Amber meme: YOUR REACTORS *SPEAK CHINESE?!?!*

[@ReacttotheK]

I 100% summoned my inner Eric Nam

[@johnrea8173]

This was song of the year for me according to Spotify wrap. There is so many lovely things happening in this song from a compositional stand point. The way unexpected chords resolve and the tone they set. It's not a Red Velvet song with out playing with modes, usually that IV/vi switch up somewhere in the chorus, whether it be iv/VI or a flat vi. They really love to modulate in the prechorus of their songs. You nailed it when you said the song gives off a bittersweet vibe in the post-chorus outro - that's exactly what pulls me into the song every time. It's my favorite part of the song, the layered harmonies that are dissonate but are so satisfying.

[@AchmadEldienR]

I really apreciate how you explain relative major and minor keys works hehe, thank uu, great video

[@BibleeeThumppp]

This song has a very bittersweet feel for Luvies-not just musically, as Umu mentioned, but also because of what it represents for Red Velvet as a group. I went to their concert this August, and the vibe really felt like it could be their last tour. They gave everything they had on stage. Joy was crying almost every time the crowd cheered for her, and everyone tried to hold back their tears whenever they spoke. I hope Cosmic is not their last song as a group, but it seems unlikely that Yeri and Joy will extend their contracts with SM. Still, I hope they can occasionally reunite for a comeback. 🥺

[@riffgroove]

They're not done yet.

[@Vicenciotercio]

Bro omg this is :/ why you wrote all this

[@jayyyteeee]

if anything i feel like it’s a new beginning for them as a group. they’ve said multiple times that they’re still gonna release music. seulgi said at one of the concerts that they’re working on a new album

[@raranaana]

didn't they all just sign their contracts few weeks ago?

[@riffgroove]

@@raranaana Lol... if I had a dime for every time someone said Red Velvet would be disbanding "any day now...."

[@eddiechth]

Very happy and sad song that I almost thought it was a disbandment song. hopefully Red Velvet will continue in 2025

[@soyadrink9831]

This song was indeed *cosmic*

[@yanyyiiee]

i waited for this reaction and it never disappoint

[@Lyf4rMusic]

7:41 Honestly that's quite rare ! Kevin liking an RV title song without any disclaimers? :D

[@sheMessages]

This videos and everyone explaining things is so catching and interesting, sharing perspectives with their own instruments is really cool

[@renebaebaeeee]

MY COSMIC FINAAAALLYYYY HAVE YOUR REACTION GUYS! IM CRYING! BILLBOARD INCLUDE THIS AS ONE OF THE BEST KPOP SONG RELEASES THIS YEAR! 😭😭😭

[@jindeulchan]

this song still gives me goosebumps everytime i listen to it. so magical so cosmic ❤

[@idkwhatputhere]

[@moonstone1139]

The best bridge in 2024 (Personal opinion🙏🏻)

[@harithanuar7793]

RED VELVET NEVER DISSAPOINTS p/s please react to irene's like flower tooo

[@camillaa_ek]

4:52 midsummer ain't a cult in sweden though 🤨 that's just the movie, irl it's a holiday and no one is sacrificed

[@angelineccc]

[@ebilsebilo]

Finally🎉 the time to react the best girl group ever with original vocals & visuals 👑👑👑👑👑

[@jellybaebi]

The Joy appreciation 🥺

[@S39-t1c]

YESSSSS Cosmic!!!! The song has such a nostalgic sound, I wonder if because of that you said the end is a little bittersweet and sad

[@drea2578]

I haven't seen the schedule lately and didn't know that you were reacting to Cosmic. I cannot stress enough how quickly I clicked the video when I saw the thumbnail and title ❤

[@ameliae396]

Thank you! So happy to see my love for cosmic almost "justified" by musicians! It really deserves more appreciation

[@leonanrosa04]

best song of the year!

[@naailkhan883]

I was thinking of this reaction FOR TODAY!!!

[@luigionnaire]

Heard this live on their tour and IT WAS A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE

[@maximusspartan7409]

[@ห้ามเปลี่ยนรหัสเด็ดขาด-ฟ9ฌ]

i dont know if it’s too much but drop cosmic violin cover plssss im fallin in love for no reason 😂❤

[@Malitor]

Love this song, been a RevLuv since the beginning. But this is the first title track in a while been I've been able to vibe with. This gives me strong ELO and ABBA vibes. So nice!

[@lchen2522]

YES I'm not the only one who heard the "We Are Young" in there.

[@CaptainTingo]

I have been WAITING for this!!!

[@tegrne6935]

everything red velvet belongs on this channel

[@natalieseethoo]

the laughter at 4:34 sounds like me playing the recorder back in school lol

[@himuraakame4850]

OH!! when the part where the song switching on the parallels of F major F minor Ab major Ab minor type of shit it makes soooo much sense for me now when it was showed with the violin!!!!!! i kept on thinking whenever i listen to the Cosmic like there is something that i couldnt point out with that shift but im not that good with key theories. FINALLY I CAN SLEEP PEACEFULLY KNOWING THAT THERE IS INDEED SOMETHING SHIFTED

[@jannyx2732]

JUST IN TIME FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!! AAAHHH THANK YOU!

[@ogigeko6850]

omg finally been waiting this reaction for decades

[@mn_osthepink8627]

When I saw the song credits included Moonshine (who I know are Swedish) and listened to the chorus, I very much felt that Cosmic is a kpop take on an ABBA track. String synths and disco for one but also the ability to blend joy and melancholy in one song is something I very much associate with them. Another thing I've always found interesting about watching trained musicians react to kpop is how strongly you guys respond to things in the music that are "unconventional" within western classical music. Maybe it's because I've been listening to kpop for years now but I don't find modal mixture or choruses having very different material to the verses to be that stimulating. I think having all those aural skills make it's more obvious (I have some basic music theory knowledge but don't usually use it when listening to songs unless prompted). Anyway, thank you so much for this reaction and all the hard work you put in!

[@renebaebaeeee]

MY COSMIC DESERVE SUPERB PRAISES & RECOMMENDATION!

[@anstsycr]

FINALLY!!! WAITED FOR THIS FOR LIKE FOREVER

[@yeosangmybeloved]

I thought from the very first listen that the airy joy vocals in this song sounded like so much like when IU styles her voice in a similar way

[@yassyourjoy]

very refreshing to add new people, especially those who are not really kpop fans
