"Songwriter/Producer" (G)I-DLE [(여자)아이들] 'I BURN' Mini Album REACTION/FIRST LISTEN

[@RayRicciMusic]

Meow, meow! Did you guys ever wonder what my favorite k-pop songs of 2021 were? Here's the answer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGnRnpulbaidjqs

[@goldenlightann]

They matured so much with their music, this album sounds almost like a singer song writer Indie production.

[@shawnclifford]

(G)I-DLE is a lyrically heavy group. Being able to read the lyrics would make you enjoy the song. Hann (Alone) - their first cb, start of the story. They promised that they will forget their partner. Hann (Alone in Winter) - continuation of Hann (Alone) where the main character is admitting that they can't forget their lover. Hwaa (Burning Flower) - Finally moving on and burning the flower or their regret Moon - The main character wants to hide their emotion. This could also mean that as an artist, they want to get away from the spotlight and be themselves. Lost - Feeling of losing someone. Dahlia - Comparing your lover to a flower which has both negative and positive connotations.

[@RayRicciMusic]

I already enjoy the songs without reading the lyrics, but reading them for sure makes me appreciate them even more! Thank you so much !

[@basmabennani8317]

they dont need music actually their vocals are the harmony

[@hazzlnut5674]

True

[@ritsud7465]

Yesss.. I love their vocal.. Especially minnie

[@angmamatcookie]

Hi I'm Korean NEVERLAND and I really love your video. I was looking for someone who commented professionally on music like you!! And I'd like to tell foreign fans about important thing. HANN(一[Alone]), HANN(寒[Alone in Winter]), and HWAA(火花[Fire, Flower]) / It's a story line that goes in the order of the songs. To summarize the meaning of the lyrics, HANN(一[Alone]) : You turned me around with cold eyes as I'm a stranger... I can't help but stand in a blankly... I saw you who I didn;t know until now... All I can do is just smirk... I don't know you anymore... Yeah, I'll forget you... HANN(寒[Alone in Winter]) : The promise I was going to erase you was lie... Every word I said I'll forget you was lie... There's never been a day I didn't think of you... But You show your back to me as if you believed my words... HWAA(火花[Fire, Flower]) : To dry all my tears, make a fire. To restore my lost spring, to melt all my heart covered with cold snow, make a fire. I'll burn everything about you I have. Even put lingering affection in my arms and burn me. And I'll bloom me again. [HANN(一[Alone]) is based on the lyric poem 'Kim So-wol''s 'Azalea Flower'] When you're leaving, because you're disgusting to see me I will send you without a word Azalea Flowers in Yeongbyeon's Yak-Mountain, pick a bunch and I'll spray it on your way out Every step of the way The flower that lay, step on it gently and go away When you're leaving because you're disgusting to see me I will never shed tears even if I die This poem is very famous in Korea for its lyric poetry. I think this poem can sum up the HAN of Korean people. The emotion HAN, I'm talking about right now is the meaning of the title of IDLE's song. If you want to know about HAN, Here's the link : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_(cultural) Uniquely, the female speaker of the poem does not want to part with him, but she tells a lie. It's an ironic expression. And this expression comes from HANN(一[Alone]). This is why the lyrics of 'Everything I said was a lie' come out in HANN(寒[Alone in Winter]). In this album, not only the title song but also all the songs sang well about HAN. The lyrics of all the songs are very Korean and use old words, so the atmosphere is basically sad. If foreign fans knew Korean, they would have been much more emotionally shaken, but it is too sad that there is a difference in language. But I wanted to tell you as much as possible what the foreign fans didn't know, and I think the purpose was well conveyed. I hope you continue to pay attention to our (G)I-DLE's moves!

[@kotoko1679]

Thank you, I'm an I-neverland and I didnt know this

[@RayRicciMusic]

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Definitely changed my view on all of the three songs - I knew they were connected but I wasn’t quite aware in which way. This makes me appreciate the songs and the creative process behind them even more ;-)

[@張羽兒-u8t]

Thank you so much for letting foreign Neverland learn this!!!!!

[@rinpotatoalien759]

Thank you so much I knew a little about the poem thanks to a video about Hann(Alone) lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3XKmWSJadWMnLM (there are eng sub CC) So I was thrilled when in Hwa Soyeon says "step over the withered flower path" making a connection to the poem and so to Hann(Alone), I knew the 3 songs are connected but didn't know a lot about the link with Hann(Alone in the winter) Thanks to you I get the whole "trilogy" link better

[@woshiichua]

"Why is this chorus so good?!" 😂 If that ain't me the first time I heard Dahlia haha 🤭 Thanks for your insightful inputs and breaking down the songs! Enjoyed your video!

[@skye3566]

Moon and dahlia ♥️

[@Byulboombyul]

thx for reacting to the album

[@RayRicciMusic]

Thanks for watching!

[@juliusguiling7154]

Dahlia is my fav in this album because of the chorus.

[@RayRicciMusic]

Yeah I think Dahlia probably has the strongest chorus out of all the tracks ;-)

[@Llamamonkey1226]

Dahlia is my favorite too!

[@JuanOssaArango]

Miyeon KILLS the chorus... They she says "I choose to love you anyway" is so powerful

[@sentoo7606]

Dahlia is incredible produced! Hugh probs to Minnie! These transitions to keep you flowing trough the song and this clean Chorus. Incredible Albume!

[@gila2753]

Minnie produced dahlia??

[@sentoo7606]

@@gila2753 Yes she did with the help of "breadbeat"

[@judithkim4050]

ahn yeeun is also a korean music artist and her Lion cover and arrangement went a bit viral in korea! she's a huge neverland and it was cool for the Fandom that one of their own could write alongside with soyeon with their own voice (han sounds very out of ahn yeeuns wheelhouse) for the gidle members

[@garylu9359]

By the way, I believe the first two sentences were sung by ahn,that's really cool.

[@judithkim4050]

@@garylu9359 I'm pretty sure they were sung by soyeon but soyeon is really good at imitating voices imo. I mean it still sounds like her but with definite ahn yeeun characteristics

[@Jess-xv6pu]

Dahlia is so good this album is gold the songs are amazing.

[@petropaoloaguilar6673]

This EP has no right to exist. Almost all of them deserve to be released as title tracks because they all of them are so good. This is a very stacked EP and turned me towards Neverland. So sad I was 5 months late to the party

[@lasion2031]

moon and dahlia 😘😘

[@YukiT14]

Had a great time listening to you breaking down the songs and have a feeling I actually learned a lot. Soyeon is in all writing credits because she always writes her own rap. She doesn't want it any other way haha :P Dahlia is Minnie's and Lost is Yuqi's but in case of Moon, Minnie wrote the melody around a year ago and after a while asked Soyeon to write lyrics for her. Dahlia is my fave btw, can't get enough

[@etoileshojo]

I Burn is such a masterpiece

[@Mozuchii]

Han really feels like a good intro and then GIDLE decides to put Dahlia as the finale in the album... really kills me as I listened from beginning to end 😭💜

[@anjalikurup2026]

Awesome reaction! More G-IDLE please.Their music and vibe is very different versatile and incredible!

[@minus21334]

Soyeon try to make pre-chorus a thing and equally catchy as chorus, so all members get to shine their colour

[@angelyuqi6709]

Lost & moon are top favs. I love all songs in this album.

[@redoyjoarder6330]

This album is so amazing. I love every single track. They are so good and each song has its own colour but yet feel connected somehow. Thank you for your breakdown, learned a lot from your explanation . It enriched my listening experience. I am just excited for the future prospects of this self produced group. One can see how they love to experiment and play with their voices , its probably coz the songs are produced by the members so they know their ranges and the colour of their really well and knows how to uniquely use them. Thanks for the shout out to the writers and producers of the songs before you talked about the songs.

[@marianamendoza7574]

Actually, Yuqi was the main producer and songwriter for LOST she had the lyrics since half year ago. And also she mentioned on a vlive she has save 9 songs (now 7 bc iTT and lost)

[@boogshbini]

THAT WAS ALSO MY REACTION WITH “DAHLIA”

[@gidleselfmade4825]

I love how you're freaking out over Dahlia cuz SAME 😫😭😂 thank you for reacting to the girls songs!

[@gila2753]

Their english versions of songs are amazing!! Specially oh my god!! Soyeon haa the mind of a mastermind

[@RayRicciMusic]

Very true

[@hatefuleclipse2670]

I was hoping you'd notice that the piano for Hann. alone in winter makes the same melody as Hann, Alone in the ''chorus.'' Or I don't know exactly what part of the song that is.

[@RayRicciMusic]

Oh wow you're right I did in fact not notice that at all. I did notice that HWAA, Hann (Alone) and Hann (Alone in winter) were written within the same key, however I missed that the piano chords actually sound like the melody within the chorus of Hann1 :D Thank you so much for telling me!

[@Jessica-cl9zs]

its so funny that you said Moon sounds quite happy because the lyrics are about not wanting the moonlight shinning on you so that you can cry/hide in the darkness

[@RayRicciMusic]

That’s true actually yeah - I think musically it didn’t even sound that sad - at least not as sad as I expected it to be for a Minnie produced song :D. Knowing the lyrics definitely changes the vibe of the song tho ;-). Such a powerful song!

[@KumaNyan97]

Omgg how u explained hann(alone in winter) is how i feel..its so minimalistic but it left me with the most impact..its so beautiful and melancholic i love it so much

[@linn1607]

Timestamp: Hann( In the Winter ) - 12:49 Moon - 17:51 Where is love - 21:24 Lost - 25:46 Dahlia - 29:35

[@ladylilac1533]

Thanks for nice explanations, i really love every song on this album. They all are very emotion based songs for me, love that.

[@sjdjaks]

Guitar and Organ sound in Moon is real playing guitarsound. Hudini said his instagram story :) sorry for my English

[@RayRicciMusic]

Your English is great! Thank you - that’s super cool, using real instruments usually sounds the best ;-)

[@곽두팔-y2j]

han and moon😍

[@effy9973]

lovely reaction! just a quick little info on something, lost was actually produced and written by yuqi, soyeon wrote her rap

[@juliusguiling7154]

Thanks for this

[@indahnabila1378]

he's so smartt😭😭

[@chodb2506]

Thank you for your reaction!

[@ruivououou]

nice reaction, love the informational comments!

[@pansybella]

I love all the songs but for some like Moon, where is love, I like the intro/verse even better than the chorus!

[@RayRicciMusic]

I can definitely see (or hear xD) that - both tracks have very powerful verses!

[@elsallamas1908]

Really great video, enjoyed it!

[@KP-hw5og]

What’s your favourite song ? Mine’s Lost :)

[@flynnona14]

Mine's Dahlia and Hwaa but I prefer Dahlia

[@ritsud7465]

Mine Dahlia, Lost Moon

[@crazyr2113]

Haha, das "What?" ist genau der Ahn Ye Eun Stempel in Hann den ich meinte (so wie der Rest des Songs). Hoffe Soyeon und sie machen in Zukunft nochmal was zusammen. I burn ist glaube ich bislang mein Favorit unter den Alben. Dahlia ist schon ziemlich gut! Insgesamt ist das Album irgendwie sehr rund. Also nichts, wo man denkt "Na Hoppla, was ist das denn?". Magst du vielleicht irgendwann mal eine Reaktion zu Ahn Ye Eun machen? Wäre von der Producer Seite bestimmt auch interessant, alles was sie macht, macht sie selber. Und es hat immer ihren Stempel. Fun Fact, sie hat auch ziiiemlich cool "Lion" gecovert. Du merkst, ich mag sie als Künstlerin super gerne. Ihr neuer Song "Proust" oder auch "Waltz" ist für ihre Verhältnisse recht normal. Mag ich gerne. (Proust hat aber kein MV), Kakatopia kennst du vielleicht, ihr title track vom letzten Album (ziemlich gut). Ihr Song "Trumpet Creeper" hat sogar +19 Warnung wegen des MVs. ^^ Etwas seltsam aber eben Ahn Ye Eun. (Bei Waltz und Proust hörst du auf jeden Fall den "hann" style von dem song hier raus ^^). Und ebenso producermäßig interessant, ich weiß gar nicht ob ich bei "More" von K/DA gefragt hatte. Hast du schonmal Lexie Liu (chinesische Rapperin/Sängerin, Erfolgreich bei Rap of China) abgecheckt? Music und Lyrics sind auch fast immer von ihr. Und ziemlich catchy. Sie ist bekannt für ihren super unauffälligen Englisch-Chinesisch Mix. "Manta" ist glaube ich ihr bekanntester. Das gesamte Album ist aber sau gut, also eigentlich egal, was du abcheckst :D "Hide and Seek" ist sehr ruhig und sticht aus dem sonst melodischen Rap/Singen etwas raus. Mag ich auch sehr gerne. So, jetzt hör ich auf zu nerven :D

[@RayRicciMusic]

Glaube Kakatopia war der Song den ich mal gehört hatte - das Lion cover muss ich mir gleich mal anhören :D Lexie Liu? Ja hatte glaub ich mal nach dem K/DA Song in einige ihrer Songs reingehört, kann mich aber nicht mehr erinnern, weiß nur das sie bei den Worlds eine sehr gute Performance abgeliefert hat ;-) Arbeite aktuell daran meinen Stream zum laufen zu bekommen, evtl. wäre das mal was dafür. Muss nur noch einen Zeitpunkt finden an dem ich auch konstant streamen kann !

[@crazyr2113]

@@RayRicciMusic top! Und lass mich Mal wissen, was du zu Lion sagst :D

[@RayRicciMusic]

​@@crazyr2113 Sie hat definitiv einen sehr eigenen Style - auch im Lion Cover hat sie einige Dissonante Intervalle eingebaut ... Hab sowas in der Art noch nie gehört. Wäre jetzt aber ehrlicherweise ein wenig zu "crazy" für meinen Geschmack :D

[@crazyr2113]

Sie ist eher am traditionellen orientiert. Und jetzt weißt du, was ich mit eigener Art meine :D Dann empfehle ich hiermit mal offiziell für nen Stream oder wenn du mal Reaktion-Lücke hast "Waltz" und "Proust", die sind sehr 'normal'. Trumpet Creeper wird dir zu crazy sein (das MV alleine hat schon 19+ rating :D).

[@RayRicciMusic]

@@crazyr2113 alles klar :D

Please also react to Golden Child's new song "Burn It"~~ Thank you^^

Hello... 👋☺ I love your reaction to (G)I-DLE. Next, Please reaction to SECRET NUMBER : - Who Dis mv - Holiday (Dance Practice) - Secret Fun ep. 05 - Got That Boom mv - Privacy (Performance Video) Thank You🙏 Fandom name of SECRET NUMBER is "LOCKEY"

[@gila2753]

React to oh my god please!! And lion

[@RayRicciMusic]

I wish I could but unfortunately (or fortunately xD) I’ve heard all IDLE songs that have been released so far - a long time before starting to do reactions. That means I can’t really react anymore to those songs :(. I might try to cover them in a different video format If I find a chance to do so since I really love these two songs especially lion.

[@jess4you13]

You went way too into the technicalities that those subsequent pauses literally chopped the whole song experience to bits...

[@RayRicciMusic]

Appreciate the feedback! It’s sometimes quite hard to find a good balance between in depth and too in depth ;-)

[@karylleangelica4836]

you pause too much (TT)

[@cvetelinmilkov3630]

NO (G)I-DLE Dreamcatcher Scream

[@RayRicciMusic]

Ur okay :D? Please don’t be like that, I love Dreamcatcher and I also love IDLE. I don’t want to have any fan wars happening within my comment section. Scream is awesome , but I can’t react to a song that I’ve heard more than a 100 times already before starting this channel. From what I’ve seen Dreamcatcher will be releasing a new album this January as well tho so I’ll be definitely checking that one out as well. This is a channel dedicated to music not just specifically one group ;-)
