[@gretchend6823]

I am so enjoying your “Music Explained”. Your comments really deepen my appreciation of BTS’s songs. The “Emotions of Harmony” was especially interesting. Thank you for all you do to help us recognize the craftsmanship and talent in this group and expand our love for BTS. 💜

[@AndrewBergSax]

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 💜

[@jenjin9492]

BTS song production, one of the things I'm proud as an Army when people wonder why I love BTS so much..they're so intricately layered! They dont just put the song together, so much thought is put in the making of, BTS in house producers I like to think of them as part of BTS as a family :)

[@pambarab5506]

LGO is so often overlooked as a simple song, but it's so complex! I listened with different headphones and speakers to get everything that went into the song. I loved your explanation as to why I loved it! This is an excellent series!

[@omniaismail4226]

Exactly

[@rbsmmm]

Bts just brings out naturally the joy in music !

[@bt6248]

Thank you, Andrew, for drawing attention to Life Goes On, a beautiful, hopeful (and overlooked) song. One of my greatest joys has been singing harmony in various choirs, ensembles, church groups for most of my life, but I've never heard such an enlightening explanation of the emotional impact of different intervals. Wow! When I listen to BTS, I zero in on the harmony vocals, and, like you say, sometimes they're featured and sometimes they're hidden. I have a blast picking out the harmonies and "singing backup." 💜

[@AndrewBergSax]

YES! I'm not very good at singing, but I can hear harmony pretty well and I LOVE analyzing it, so this is so much fun for me. Haha

[@mae__]

The power of harmonies! Crazy how with the harmonic context alone you can already figure out the message of a song! Really enjoyed that breakdown

[@AndrewBergSax]

Thank you!!!

[@AngelaSealana]

Wow! The way the music correlates to the lyrics so intentionally really hits my heart. Thank you for showing us how BTS and the other songwriters truly crafted this song for us. The emotional journey is amazing! 💜

[@bt6248]

Everything BTS does is intentional. Their attention to detail is so impressive.

[@AngelaSealana]

@@bt6248 My brain knows it, but when I learn the depth of the intentionality, it really swells my heart. 💜

[@AndrewBergSax]

YES!! As I was finding new harmonies, and then looking up the lyrics after, I said out loud, multiple times, "NO FREAKING WAY". Well, I used different vocabulary, but you get the idea 😂

[@just_lil_g]

loving this series 🐇🕳💜🎶🎵🎶

[@pgdDec]

This explains why my 6 year old granddaughter always called my attention, "Grandma, it's BTS". This was in early December 2020, Life Goes On was on rotation Nick Music.

[@deliaconny]

LOL, rabbit hole within a rabbit hole 😂 this "emotions of harmony" chart you are slowly building up and filling out is so wonderful, i am in awe!!! 🤯 The way you structered the combined lyric&harmony analysis is soooooo good. I love how you were able to deconstruct all of these wonderful details that make it so obvious why the song gave me exactly these feelings and emotions while listening. elevate your meals, ... like Tae 🤣 thank you so much for taking us along this journey with you! 💜 🥕 CFA

[@AndrewBergSax]

Honestly I was as in awe as you as every time I analyzed something it pointed exactly to what I felt. This was extremely interesting for me to research as well so I'm just glad it all worked out 😀 And Tae knows how to elevate a meal more than anyone else 😂

[@AbyssEnthusiast]

I just have no words. This is amazing and makes me appreciate BTS' artistry even more.

[@minitwink16]

Thanks so much Andrew. These videos are the best. That's why BTS is so popular. We do speak the same language. Music. Even though we speak different languages, music is a common language for us all and it's proven here.

[@SilverSeaOT7]

I am always surprised at what I am missing when I see them do the live version of a song. Really enjoy what your are doing!

[@Belbecat]

The guys said they put a ton of effort in to Life Goes On... they sure weren't kidding! Thanks for pointing all these things out, I will hear so much more from this song from now on!

[@cherylwalker4242]

Thanks for music lessons

[@arlissbunny]

Andrew - this was a GREAT “Music Explained” video. Thank you. Also, your SkillShare ad was cleverly handled. Kudos.

[@cesmariano2969]

Oh wow! This song breakdown is so insightful. Early on in my rabbit hole journey, it came to a point that I was so intrigued about how their music can feel so real and so right, that they can elicit such strong emotions from the listener even without knowing Korean. So I found out that Pdogg (their main producer) majored in music education in college and he also majored in vocal performance in arts middle school and high school. And that explained it all. There is such strong music theory application in their songs and with Pdogg putting most of their music together and also teaching and exposing the BTS members to so much music during their trainee days, it just all made sense. It is not so much that they are my favorites but I can honestly hear something very different about their music compared to other kpop acts which really sets them apart. Fandom wars and all and people can make as much noise as they want to but there is no denying that BTS produces well-crafted and "smart" music and that's the bottom line, it should come as no surprise why they are miles ahead of the competition. And we're not even going into the lyrics yet... :)

[@tyaraku1173]

oh no! you made me cry.....how dare you! but i love you for that! this makes me miss them even more...they are a gift from heaven!!

[@shelley8293]

oh my gosh Andrew - I was already having my heartstrings pulled BEFORE you laid this all out 💛now though I'll never be able to listen to this song without remembering those harmonies - their colours & textures... beautiful & yet 💜 thank you so much for sharing your knowing with us!

[@dreamzbts6585]

Appreciate these kinda videos Andrew!! I remember back up until 2017(?) Kpop stans would openly look down on BTS vocals saying they were weak vocalists when in reality BTS were one of the few artists then and even now who sing live. There were thinkpieces by these kpop stans about how they prefer their favs lipsyncing than tired breaths of live vocals of BTS at the end of the song and at the same time looking down on them saying BTS has weak vocal line One such post/video I had come across was "kpop artists who can't harmonize" naming BTS as one of them citing a Run BTS episode clip where BTS was consciously harmonising badly for comedy. In 2022 when BTS has come so far and yet people still attack their vocals, watching your analysis on their skill & intentions of vocals and harmonies make me really happy💜

[@AndrewBergSax]

💜

[@teresapang8001]

Thank you. I enjoyed your breakdown of the song. Your “The Emotions of Harmony’ was so helpful. I can appreciate it more. I love the song. Now I know one of the reasons why.

[@AndrewBergSax]

Thank you!! I was really excited when I thought of that angle for this video 😊

[@Grassuke]

This is such a cool video! I do lots of bts covers and really deeply listening to these songs to discover harmonies that i hadnt heard before is always truly eye opening- i had no idea there were certain connotations with different harmonies and wow it really fits!!! This analysis is so cool i feel like ive taken for granted the harmonies, octaves and adlibs ive come to expect from bts' productions like they really elevate the whole song to a new level.

[@elviecarroll1924]

Life goes on is the song that make me an army.This was during pandemic on the way to see our grandkids, that we have not seen for awhile & heard this song on the radio ( do not understand korean)it touch my heart& become curious on who they are till my friend tell me her niece is a big fan of this boyband . Rest is history ❤❤❤

[@rianne-1719]

Thank you for this Andrew! I've listened to Life Goes On for a lot of times and I didn't understand (tho I enjoyed) how this song just hit me with waves of nostalgia. Strange, especially during the first listen as I used to associate music and nostalgia together if I heard it during a certain period of time and trigger memories or feelings during those times. So the nostalgia should have only made sense as I listen to the song around this time. Amazing how music can make you just... feel.

[@rizahdetorres7585]

I don’t speak music but I love these explanations. It helps me understand why I feel the way I feel when I hear these songs.

[@mdc1746]

Thank you Andrew, I truly enjoy you Music Explained series!

[@marinal.]

Hi, i am back. Great breakdown, Andrew. I really love this idea of yours. I am learning so much. What u said about harmonies took me back to ON and behind the scenes and documentary content. I think the UCLA band director mentioned some thigs u discovered. I remember that he loved them using instruments in their songs. Sounds too go into the layers of the track. All the hard work pays off and we always love the song. Hugs. -NY USA 2019 Army💟

[@butterbuttersbetter3689]

This was the best! I can’t tell you how much I enjoy learning about the ‘science’ and ‘psychology’ of music through your amazing videos. You explain everything so well and it’s so interesting.

I love this song so much. When it first came out I had tears streaming down my face with such mixed emotions in the best of ways and now I understand why. I knew it was beyond the lyrics and that I could feel their voices, but I really learned a lot from your explanation about why that was so. Thank you! I have deep appreciation for BTS and the production team.

[@nazarethjuwenK]

I watched BTS in the SOOP where they recording their OST. 1 line of lyrics layer with 7 voices. Listening to your explanation for LGO very interesting & enjoyable.

Oh I heard about this, but I haven't watched it yet!

Thanks for a peek behind the curtain at the magic! Note to self: Acquire a car to listen to BTS music 😄

Once you dip a toe in that rabbit hole, its over man. With your excitement, you've got to be ARMY. Welcome my friend.You know their names too lol. Not only do I love all of that but I love how your video is different than other reactors. This is a fresh take and your in depth explanations are awesome. It pin points certain feeling that we haven't been able to describe. Thank you so much for this. I need to check out your channel because I hope you have a bunch of BTS songs. Btw- no matter what device you listen to their music on or how many times you've heard every song, you are so right about hearing it differently. I have heard things in my car that I had never ever heard on my computer, phone etc. Its a whole new world in my car no matter how many times I have listened to it. Even in the car. One day I'll be driving and I'm like "how on earth have I never heard that part before"

[@adeebafirdaus1327]

I appreciate you as a youtuber so much Andrew. Really glad to have found you

[@AndrewBergSax]

Thank you!! 😭😭

[@marwasalsabil1408]

this is amazing and so insightful, thank you! I have realised that with literally all BTS songs they have SO many layers, that even after listening 40+ times I still hear new things in the back, their hidden vocals are always so beautiful. hobi's new album has a lot of this, where the songs are just so rich with layers. their lives are also always such a treat so I'm happy you delved into that as well, they always add new perspectives and harmonies in their lives e.g. their 'for youth' performances, its a testament to how great they are as artists. :)

[@LynnHermione]

You should compare The Truth Untold live vs recording. The harmonies are more hidden in the album but front live, most ppl do the opposite

[@_btsarmyjenn9420]

I really appreciate and love the way you explained in your own terms on how their song speaks musically and relating it to the lyrics. I always enjoy your honesty so don't change. Love lots!

[@alnilamorionis5994]

That was awesome! Life Goes On is such a great song. Thank you for pointing out all the hidden stuff. I laughed when you said "and then I was listening to it in the car" because that's how I realized that the upright bass in No More Dream is actually an ostinato throughout most of the song. Also, last video you asked for suggestions, so can you explain why Blood, Sweat and Tears is such a satisfying song?

[@AndrewBergSax]

Hahaha it's amazing how much better car speakers are than even my professional headphones 😅 you can hear everything 😂 And BST is a great suggestion! That's such a big one to take on, I need to make sure I do it justice 😳

The way you are explaining this song is great. I noticed the octaves and the thirds but not the forths. But I did notice the beauty and it felt like a romantic song written for those that are hurting that they love (ARMY). Am loving this explaination especially love the harmony that Jungkook puts into the raps.

[@geniemaples3706]

[@aspasia1705]

Now I understand why I get so emotional listening to and watching BTS music and performances. I always listen to them with headphones. I am blown away by all that is going in the background and the harmony is always on point. Listening to BTS is an experience. And it also helps that their creator Bang Si-hyuk got a degree in Aesthetics from Seoul Univ. It shows in their stage production and music. Thank you for this video it was very informative.

[@saradeer8620]

Hi Andrew!!! I love the video! I find it funny when you said "I thought I had the harmonies all figured out." 'Cause I feel like there's nothing new to find in their music, and yet every time I listen to their music I discover something new. Every single time. Their music is like a treasure and a treasure map at the same time. It's crazy. And the richness they add with their vocals really is precious. Because its difficult to catch all of it at once, some times I feel like it gets richer the more I listen to it. Especially when I pay attention to it. And while the song is written with the goal of evoking certain feelings, which it does, it's quite often a new experience, just having your current feelings collide with those that the song evokes... Sigh. Especially when sudden deeper understanding of a lyric hits you. Never mind when it's carried with such beautiful vocals. Especially at moments like those, it carries impact. It's like watching the sunset everyday. You know it's coming everyday and you know what it looks like, but it's never the same from day to day. You know, there's this part in the song that makes me smile? It's where they sing "Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh". I don't know. It's just something that makes me happy when I hear it in this song. Besides all that 😅 I really did learn a lot today. Especially with the way you portrayed it and then gave clear examples with music were very familiar with, so we obviously notice it. The emotions of harmonies is not something I'm likely to forget now. I love the vid! 보라해요! 💜

[@CallMeTad78]

Thank you for this video Andrew! I love how your appreciation for BTS and love for and knowledge of music has inspired your own angle to breaking down their music! I studied both instrumental and choral music in my formative years, so I especially enjoy these kinds of videos! I've always believed that the nature of sound has it's own healing and destructive properties, and BTS knows how to use these sonic resonance via beats, frequencies, rhythms, melodies and harmonies to convey their messages. I physically feel better listening to songs like Life Goes On, Mikrokosmos, Airplane, Seoul, etc when listening with a good sound system that can give enough of the bass frequency to feel it in your bones. That vibration and resonance along with the rest of the soundscape (to me) feels like its repairing things from the inside out. Looking forward to the next video!!💜

[@AoE_7]

I found your video today. Thanks for these, I already watched many of your videos! I'm a writer myself and the lyrics are really important to me and I'm therefore also studying the Korean language so that without having to translate several times I can understand BTS songs better... since words are important to me, I just can't blindly trust other people's translations, and since English is not my native language either (there are no proper, or at all, BTS translations in my own language and I myself am not yet ready to do them,) I want to know Korean better, I also study Korean history and culture for the sake of understanding the references in the lyrics, but I am not a musician, and it's just amazing to understand more about it and hear the musician's opinion about their music 💜

[@fi0rella]

I'm @ 9.25 minutes rn ad had to pause just to comment how fascinating this video is!! so educational, I'm ecstatic!! I hope you do more song analysis like this one. I knew nothing of what you're explaining and can't wait to hear ore, thank you so much!!!

[@amyoconnell3936]

Just listening to you talk about the song made me cry, remembering the pain of those times - for everyone, for them in particular - and understanding how they used their own expressions of sorrow to give us hope. The descriptions of the mood of each interval is information I will carry with me for the understanding of other songs. A few things I would like to hear about: There are two songs where the first three notes - even just one note - instantly transport me to the furthest extent of emotion: Tear and Epiphany. Perhaps my favorite BTS song, Answer: Love Myself has the flavor of turning darkness into light. These days I can sometimes listen to it without crying. I'd like to know how it does that, musically.

[@AndrewBergSax]

YES! I actually have a video idea I've been messing around with about how the initial notes of a song can be so recognizable and transport you. It probably won't be for a little while because I still need to figure out some details, but I also think this is fascinating

[@raincloudcolors1516]

this was so excellent!! thanks so much for sharing your insight into this song. BTS's music often feels extremely emotion and I usually just assume it is their vocal texture, but it's incredible to hear about the musical decisions that are behind building these emotions. I appreciate even more now! thanks so much

[@evantesseract737]

Ohhhh I love this! I know just enough to know what I'm learning. It's so interesting - the harmonies going with the text! I wouldn't have figured it out. It reminds me of the key change in Lie. I'm fascinated by their use of harmony because it's so often incredibly subtle, as you noted, there to create texture and richness and enhance the lead vocal(s). Thank you so much for this!

[@AndrewBergSax]

Yes!!! The more harmony I found, the more it impressed me, especially when it was so subtle! I love it. Haha

[@omniaismail4226]

I love everything about this video your way of explaining is amazing

[@dARMY_dd]

I enjoyed your video so much! I’m not a music nerd and far from being too interested to music until I became an army but I really understood everything that you explained. I appreciate reviews like this so much because it really highlights the beauty that their song has. Their songs has so much depth into them not just with the lyrics but with the overall production including the MVs that even non music enthusiasts would surely be captivated. Their songs bring out emotions that you don’t know you’ve been containing for a while. Thanks for this! Looking forward to more.

[@missJJ_onYT]

I love Life Goes On! It's like a warm hug kind-of song. It broke my heart when during Festa RM said he worked so hard on the song but it didn't do as well as Dynamite and Butter. So thank you for doing this breakdown and giving attention to this song! 💜Anyway, if someday you will do a breakdown on Euphoria or Magic Shop, there's video by DJ Swivel (he's one of the producer and mixer for these 2 songs) where he showed everything that goes on in the track including the vocals. maybe you can use that as part of your research material 🤗

[@lalaking7974]

As a fellow musician, this analysis was really fun! - (I'm going to show this to my musician sons, who will also enjoy it. :) - Sometimes I listen to BTS through headphones specifically, because I pick up on SO many amazing lines, harmonies, and arrangement ideas I hadn't heard through my speakers. - So often I end up rolling back and saying, "Wow! - listen to that line way back in the track, winding it's way through (often Jimin or JK) but SO many exquisite layers in any case.

Thanks Andrew, that was awesome! It's amazing to see how music works and your explanations have opened up to me a whole new world of music that I wasn't even aware of! One suggestion though; it would have been good to run through the MV again (after your explanation) with your notes as highlighted text as the music was playing to 'see' what you meant. Not sure if this is just asking for too much but it would have clarified in my non music mind what you meant and made me understand the music and your explanation better. Hope that makes sense! No matter, enjoyed this and now I won't be looking at music as something just to enjoy, I can now see a whole different world going on... 😁😁

[@cynthiaperez2232]

I have to tell you, Andrew... I thought I was going to be listening to this dry treatise- an intellectual discussion of music theory- and was playing on my phone while listening to you--- but I had to put my phone DOWN. You really blew me away and gave me words to express the comfort I get by listening to BTS. Now I want to know how thought out or pre-planned this all is. Do their producers have a template they use (Mmm, I think we need a minor chord here...) or is this organic. Do they just feel what chords they need to use. (Don't know if this makes sense at all since I know nothing about music. I just know that BTS makes me cry.) Edit: I want to print out that big chart you have and put it on my wall!

[@AndrewBergSax]

Thank you so much for giving it a chance! And out of curiosity, is there a way I could title it or make a different type of thumbnail that would make you realize more what the video would be like? And to answer your question, I think the chords or harmonies are probably partly organic, partly experience, and partly planned out 😂 they probably learn a lot of it studying music theory and then just "feel" it in the moment while writing the songs

[@cynthiaperez2232]

@@AndrewBergSax Well, you got me with the title "Why BTS music is so emotional" so I think that was a good call. Maybe you should print up some posters with the emotions generated by diff chords/harmonies like you had in the video. Bet a lot of ARMYs would be interested. (I know I would like it: nice fonts) Also, side note, I watched a video yesterday by Henry Cheng re classical influences in BTS music...
