Jazz Musician + Writer React: BTS - Dionysus (Lyric + Live) | Down the BTS Rabbit Hole
#BTS #Dionysus #Live
So is anyone going to tell them about the 2019 MMA performance? It's a longer video but one of their absolute BEST performances ever. It tells a story of their journey through the performance. It's spectacular!! Great to see you again Caitlyn!! 💜
i feel like he should maybe watch all the songs in the performance separately and then watch the whole show? idk. i'd love for him to watch mma 2019 regardless.
There are others songs in the MMA performance that he hasn't reacted to yet so he is gonna react to them before and then eventually the MMA performance
Haha Anais and Kat nailed it! That's exactly my plan! I can't wait to watch it though!
I figured as much haha and can't wait for that day.
@@AndrewBergSax Gotcha 😉💜
It was Jin who was singing the high notes. He said in an interview that the producer told him to scream.
Hahahaha that's hilarious! He's just like, okay let me scream this high note real quick 😂
He was held back after the recording and everyone left to add those screams.
The high note was Jin screaming. He found it amusing when he was approached by the producer and was asked to scream on to the mic for that part.
My favorite thing in this song is the wordplay - in Korean sul is alcohol and yesul is art, so the drunk artist takes on a whole different meaning 😎
cool
YES! I remember reading that on Doolset, but there's honestly so much to talk about in the moment that I forgot 😂
That's profound! Thank you for that.
Love how the producer literally took Jin into the studio and just asked him to scream 😂
It’s Jin doing the high note in the back. In behind the scenes interviews, Jin said the producer asked him to scream as loud as he could. That primal scream made it into the final cut of the song 🤣
Hahaha that is honestly hilarious 😂
@@AndrewBergSax yep but they funny like day daily lol
Jin is fondly known as "Triple High Note" because of his three note live belting to a G5, without even going into breathy falsetto, in Crystal Snow. In Permission To Dance he does an amazing 10 note run in 2 seconds in the background. According to the articles I've read Jin has a really powerful voice, V has the widest range in the group, Jimin has the highest *type* of voice and Jungkook is just a master of ALL trades aka "The Golden Maknae". ("Youngest")
Jin is really the "belting" king just in general in the group. :)
oh, do you know when in the song jin did that run?
Same as that's not me fellas, I wanna know when Jin did a 10 note run in PTD? 😶 Idk how I would've missed that
In ptd it wasn’t him
@@binitsingha3019 It was. It was after Jimin's run, when JK was singing "...sunrise".
That line about “I’m still thirsty” by Suga also ties into to his constant battle with his greed/ambition Suga often talks about his endless ambition to acquire more success (and how sometimes his greed for success actually frightens him). So in that section where he is boasting about BTS selling out stadiums and how they only have themselves to compete with for future achievements, he’s also acknowledging that he wants more. Which is interesting bc he’s spoken in interviews and songs he’s put out after Dionysus about how he was actually terrified by BTS’ sudden success in the West (and worldwide) bc he had never planned for it. He began to battle with the fear of the unknown and the fear of falling from such incredible heights… In conclusion, I love Yoongi’s lyricism 😂😂 and his unending commitment to being as raw and honest in his lyrics as possible
That's super cool! I appreciate the backstory, it puts that section in a new light. I love how complex everything is
@@AndrewBergSax It also ties in with his song Interlude:Shadow where he uses light and shadow to describe that internal struggle. The Map Of The Soul:7 truly is an intricate masterpiece. 💜
your wife gives me high school english teacher that everyone loves vibes and i’m living for it
Hahaha the best comment ever 😂
Jin's high note is lejindary
😂😂
It truly is lejindary.
I get it! He has such an amazing range! 😮 Edit: I just got the joke and had to come back 😂
@@AndrewBergSax =0p
giggles yep
I feel like your wife would love "blood sweat and tears" and the whole BU (BTS universe/storyline)
Yep, very good recommendation !
Thanks for the recommendations! That song is definitely on my list and we will get to the BU at some point! Haha
@@AndrewBergSax cool
@@AndrewBergSax your going to get lost honestly with the BU universe cuz basically you have to start with watching their music videos in a certain order starting with I NEED U. Then you have the Bts universe game and the books, the comic, the twitter blog posts etc lol. Best person who is able to analyse and break down the story from the beginning is xceleste on youtube. Here is a link if you want to do a reaction. It will blow your mind. kzhead.info/sun/ZZF9ddlrkXyqeI0/bejne.html&ab_channel=xCeleste
I’m so glad you picked this as a second intro song!! Such an underrated song in my opinion, and really shows their versatility when you compare it to something like Butter 12:30 that was Jin with the high note ☺️ Apparently he literally screamed into the mic in the studio (and it’s not sung live, but it’s part of the stage mix track, which is why you can hear it in the live)
That's so awesome! Jin's range is incredible 😮
@@AndrewBergSax Best part is I was recently watching a Metal fan reacting to this, and he was so electrified by that scream, he literally shouted WHO'S THAT!!!!! He needs to be a metal singer!!!!! 🤣. Ever since then I,ve been trying to imagine Jin fronting a metal band, and it defies reality!
@@AndrewBergSax tysm for noticing you and your wife is so beautiful +++++your wife is so cute😭💜💜you're so talented too
@@charnight181 😂 oh this is amazing
@@AndrewBergSax there's this short video titled "Remember when Pdogg asked Jin to scream in Dionysus but he have no clue about that first" where Jin explains how that scream came to be, it's kinda hilarious, check it out
It was Jin. Yes, he was hitting the high note and he was also singing the low register you talked about. Jin's wide range is *chef's kiss*
That range is honestly so impressive
@@AndrewBergSax nods
Fun fact: Dionysus is known also as God of 'Epiphany' among his many names (which called out to their previous album for song Epiphany).. And many scholars believe he was an Asian god who immigrated to the West, which parallels BTS' journey of being Asian artists who arrive to conquer the Western music industry.
“god”
Jin sang the high and the low and the final scream..glad you two are enjoying!
That's crazy! His range is amazing...
impressive
Jin was singing that low note. The 1st time I saw this I was like whoa...I thought Tae was doing that part again, Then you hear him in the I'll be missing you cover and he does the higher notes so well he matched jimin. Amazing for any singer but then you remember that man didn't know how to sing or dance before he was casted by big hit and the amount of respect for him as an artist shoots up even more. And so many people don't pay attention to Jin, he is very talented and underrated. Love you guys, I'm about to repeat myself from last vid with your wife and say, I love you guys you're adorable. Not to mention Caitlin (?) Did a good job of interpreting the song. I rly love intelligent reactors lol 💜
Thank you so much!! Yeah, Jin has really been impressing me these last couple weeks! And thank you so much!
You‘re spreading misinformation, your take on “Jin didn’t know how to sing and dance“ isn’t even true. Jin was able to sing, he had no professional musical background like the REST of bts didn’t have. Do you also know that the vocal teacher that worked early one with the entire vocal said that Jin rather than improved transformed his voice and that he had to work mainly on a melodic vocalizatzon of words that is so opposite to acting. SHE ALSO CALLED HIM HER BEST STUDENT !!! Just because he didn’t intend to sing doesn’t mean he couldn’t. He even made it through an audition after he was scouted by s&m when he was 15. Stop mindlessly spreading the normalized narratives you hear and fact check before. And he’s not underrated at all, you just don‘t focus on him or pay enough attention. :)
@@tara2615 wow , you don't have to come at me geeze. I'm not intentionally spreading misinformation. From all the documentaries I've seen they said he didn't have any background in either . In the Asian theory's documentary he said "he didn't know how to do either" and Jin said he didn't take to singing until he was 20. Maybe I didn't explain it as well as you could've but I'm not out here hating on Jin .. he was the 1st member that grabbed my attention and no, not just for his looks. I based my "underrated" comment on other reactors I've seen who never mention him. (& I've seen a lot of reactors). have a nice night. 🙂
@@tara2615 we are all ARMY... Just because I'm not quite as knowledgeable as you on every member doesn't mean I'm stupid nor am I'm hating, and please try to remember, I'm sure there was a time when you didn't know as much as you do now, so please try to be kind to those of us who may not know quite as much as you do ☹️💜
@@pslinky I wasn’t hating on you at all or tried to imply that you’re stupid. It just annoying how repetitive these statements have become and the need to bring them up without actually going into detail. Saying this “remember man couldn’t sing and dance“ just isn’t true. A very to little experience (he did. theater once) doesn’t equal singing zero to little singing talent. Even suga in 2018 festa said Jin was actually always good. Too many people in this fandom have collectively agreed on that Jin has improved so much (because that’s what they Heard- a lot) without actually taking the time to really check him out. There’s even a performance from 2013 “you‘re my“ that potrays his early singing capabilities. We shouldn’t run with the narrative “he couldn’t sing“. It’s honestly annoying. I didn’t mean to hate on you at all. And I wouldn’t have even assumed he grabbed your attention bc of his looks first…..his singing is very much appreciated. He’s also the most critically acclaimed member as well :) (no shade to the others obviously)
your wife has such an infectious positive energy. I cant help but smile when i see her
🥲
She does! Their discussions radiate the same too. I get carried away by them.
I wanted to point out that I love the little "bunny" intermissions. Such a clever, very cute and genius way to not get blocked. Awesome reaction!!!
12:30 the high note was done by jin! jin mentioned that their producer just asked him one day to record a super high note and he did it on a whim!
That's incredible! He has so much range!
The way she looks at him when he's nerding about music theory is adorable
😊
She really nailed it when she said the song is about art and the music is gonna be intense! 👍👍 Yes, Jin did the low part. Actually, all of the members may sounds like they have a high voice when they're singing and rapping but their real talking voice are pretty deep. Even Jimin who is known with his high singing voice is actually has pretty deep talking voice sometimes. The high part is also Jin. But as you can see, he's singing the chorus part during the screaming part so they just use the backing track for it. This performance is really intense but it's nothing to compare to their performance at MMA 2019. They performed Persona, Boy In Luv, Boy With Luv, Mikrokosmos and Dionysus. MMA 2019 is a music award show but BTS' performance was like 40 minutes, it feels like it's their mini concert lol. You should watch that MMA 2019 someday. It's so good!
YES, I absolutely plan on reacting to that performance! I want to react to the other songs first, but I will absolutely be working up to it!
Jin is the one singing that high note you’re asking about, Sir. 💜
Thank you!!! His range is incredible! 😮
I cannot beg you enough to do the 2019 MMA award show where the guys performed for 37 mins!! That Dionysus performance is ARMY's favorite of all time (also their last live performance before Covid). You want more mythology? Well each member has a solo stage going to Mount Olympus as various gods before the Dionysus song!! Plus live animals on stage lol!! You will never believe your eyes!!! it will change you forever. Mark my words! Reply back if I am over hyping this after you watch it!
I'm so excited 😂 I want to react to the whole MMA 2019 in one sitting so I'm going to react to some of the other songs to build up to it first! But I'm so excited to get there!!
@@AndrewBergSax For live performances in awards shows they can get blocked. If you're gonna do it in 1 sitting you will have to pause, A Lot, to avoid being blocked. Every 20 seconds. If you do and it still gets blocked just edit the video. If you blur or fade it that usually works. You can mirror/flip the video and cover any logos, or put a filter over it. Anything that will alter the original video.
@@AndrewBergSax yeah!!!
@@AndrewBergSax Just a heads up - you may have to split your reaction into 2-3 parts if you plan on posting it on KZhead. Posting a reaction video with more than one song tends to flag YT's DMCA compliance algorithm.
@@AndrewBergSax So excited to watch you be excited! it's really the best spectacle. I've seen plenty of reactors doing it in one sitting with no issues!
I have never ever seen such an excellent reaction/ break down of Dionysus. You’re a dream team! I adore the song and performance but clearly hadn’t delved enough into the lyrics. Jhope is a master composer! Thank you so so much…my enjoyment of it has increased exponentially. I agree with recommendations to watch their most legendary extended performance at MMA 2019 but in addition there is a live performance at Wembley stadium. It was the show opener followed immediately by Not Today. Iconic.
Thank you so much!! We're going to wait to react to the MMA performance until I've heard all for the songs! But we're super excited about it 😀
That high note was Jin, king of rock vocals
It was our silver vocalist Jin who pulled off that high note. He has one of the best vocal ranges in kpop history
Jin does that high note in the end! He's known for his belting high notes!
That's so awesome, his range is incredible!!!
Jin was singing the high note. He did not sing it live though because he has other parts during that chorus. The high note is on the backing track which is why they could put it further back in the mix even when the rest was live.
That's so cool! Thank you for the info!
This song is j-hope's masterpiece. He is main songwriter, melody, lyrics .
I looked for it but it says composer producer and arranger is Pdogg
And for the lyrics his name is the last. They put the one who did the most first and then continues with the other people.
i'm sorry but he's not the main for this song. it's actually pdogg tho he cowrote the lyrics
@@aliciapark6241 suga and jk confirm on vlive and Press Conference
@@bumeobi6954 Then why didn’t they officially put j-hope’s name?
Jin has sang the highest note on the BTS. He sang that in the song named crystal snow. He did triple high note in it. And here in Dionysus he is the one that did the high note in background. His voice has a wide range so he can go really high at times and low at certain times when needed. Hope it helps you. And loved your reaction!!!💜
Thank you so much! Yeah, I was really impressed with his range on this! 💜
@@AndrewBergSax In a behind-the-scenes of some sort, Jin says that the producer just asked him to scream, and that is what produced that amazing high note in the background. 😎
@@AndrewBergSax There are behind the scenes vids u can check out to learn more about the songs.
My mans Jin with the crazy high note! He said he thinks their producer (who managed the recording sessions) loves to push him to his limits and that slide took a long time to record and he’s not sure he could ever do it live. But boy does it sound amazing in the mix!!! I agree it’s so interesting how they mixed the parts on this track! It’s actually really common in Kpop to chop the parts that way, to have different singers alternative singing the sales lines of a chorus. They do this so everyone can shine, but you’ll find it’s also more common in uptempo songs. They chop the parts so short purposely to make it easier to sing while performing intense choreo. Smaller parts mean more air. If you run out of air too much not only will the vocals suffer but the performance can look tired and sloppy. You’ll also notice the rappers usually have longer parts when the do the verses and rapping also needs a lot of breath control so after the choreo differs for rappers in that they mainly stay still or dance upright in the same place while others dance around them. It gives them support while still making the stage look big and interesting I just find Kpop so fascinating because it is such a PERFORMANCE driven style of music. So much so it literally affects how songs are written. Especially when it comes to title tracks. They have to write title tracks with choreo in mind. Maybe that’s also why BTS B-sides are so good and worth checking out. As experimental as they are their title tracks are still going to be somewhat formulaic. They really have room to play with genre and format and even different combinations of members on b-sides
17:29 yes! that was also jin!! haha i was surprised too the first time i heard it but his voice has many ranges
Seriously! I was so shocked by his range!
Jin is hitting the high notes in this song 😂 But he doesn’t do it live bc he also has the chorus at that part so they play a backtrack for it
The variety of themes bts use is amazing, we have tons of references to mythology, psychology, books, other music artists, different historical events, Korean culture references, linguistic tricks and slang, as well as personal experiences and meaningful themes for the band - galaxy, stars, sea/desert theme etc etc etc. Diving into BTS artistry is such a joy 🥰
very true
That's so awesome! I love how they creative they are with that 😀
@@AndrewBergSax me too
So true, all of the above. They are dragging us all into learning things we never knew about before.
You said it so beautifully 💜
that was Jin too with the high note in 21:58 🥺
That's crazy!!!
you will come to learn that nothing is a coincidence when it comes to BTS. The level of detail in every aspect of the music, the video, the choreo, the lyrics, the singing and dancing, ... also, yes on the 2019 MMA performance, it's the best thing you will ever see
The feeling when we all first heard this track...man. ARMY was in a mess! First of all, J-Hope has writing and composing credits for Dionysus. And I LOVE how she picked out the reference to being born again. Which I now see how you related that to Black Swan! Love that you bring her along! Now. 2nd!! YES THEY SPEAK A LOT OF MYTHOLOGY PLEASE WATCH BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS! Map of the Soul: Persona is all about Jungian Theories. The persona, the ego, and the shadow. The whole album explores that. It is a masterpiece of an album as well as its sister, Map of the Soul:7. The author of the book Map of the Soul actually was so taken by BTS' work with the Jungian Theories that he wrote a NEW book that explored how BTS used these themes and theories. His name is Murray Stein. But yeah. As I said, you really have to drink it all in and then look a 2nd or 3rd time to catch everything.
No way! I want that book! 😲👍
They use mitology, but also a lot popkulture references, fables, history, art, a lot of writers/thinkers, books, movies, etc. Icarus is used a least two times. There is a lot of references in their music like Jung, Nietzsche, Murakami, Chopin, also books like "Damian" by Hermann Hesse all of book is used in Blood, Sweat and tears. ETC. By all that you can see that they really have a lot of knowlage and read a lot and are interested in world, culture, people. Dionysus is great metaphor for art, drinking in it like alkohol. Great song, concerts opened with this song, that was wow, really great energy.
Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed! I also really appreciate the info!
Yeah, they literally told Jin to scream at that part, lol. It is truly impressive and reeeaally makes me want to hear him do a rock song, lol.
Yes!!! That's so awesome and I would love to hear him do a rock song!
their 2019 mma performance was nearly half dionysus(/greek mythology) themed! also the high note was jin as others have said. I'm not surprised you mistook it for jimin though lol the higher they go, the more confusing it can get, particularly when it's something well mixed into the background
Oh! I'll have to watch that performance!! And yeah, I've never heard Jin sing that high! 😮
@@AndrewBergSax You should react to Crystal Snow if you want to hear him go really high again, it's a lovely song.
@@AndrewBergSax did you watch Airplane Pt. 2 yet? Jin shows his high range nicely there too.
@@AndrewBergSax It's not often he goes so high. Jimin goes higher more in their earlier work and less these days. JK is doing more high singing. But Jin has his moments for sure in Crystal Snow, Epiphany and here.
@Becky the Subalary Not yet! But it's on the list! 😀
I really love this duo. one of the best reactors or maybe i should say analyst
Thank you so much 💜
@@AndrewBergSax You should definetely react to mma 2019 perfomance bt BTS. It was a 40 min perfomance. With ur wife. plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
@@neenu2320 he said he will do it. He plans to listen to other songs 1st
@@marinal. ohh really. i didnt know that. thank u
Jin is both the low notes you commented on AND the high. He's amazing 😍
That range is incredible!
God Jins screaming high note is just so goodddd
YES!!! I was shocked to find out it was him
@@AndrewBergSax me too
Oh man! Did anyone tell you that Jin performed THAT note live during the MOTS:ONE concert in November. Omg it was insane. He hit it like a champ
That's awesome! I'm going to have to look that up now!
Yes! Jin spoke about the high note he did in this song.. As far as I remember, they almost completed the song and members were leaving, apparently the producer (I think) called jin back and literally told him to scream as loudly as he can into the mic. He did it beautifully though!
Haha that's so cool! It's such a great touch to the song!
I read somewhere that the fact they chose Dionysus to be added to their track list is not just a matter of a rebirth song but also a declaration of take over. Dionysus had so much influence in western mythology they forget that he was original from the EAST according studies asian regions. So basically BTS is saying they are taking over in the Western now. And they did this with Map of the Soul :persona ya'll ain't that such a another mind-blowing thing to think about.
Thanks for noticing Jin doing those low, then high parts. He is an amazing singer. They are all amazing. So watch 2019 MMA, you won't be disappointed!
I’m gonna bet both of you (Caitlin as a writer, and you as a Jazz musician) would absolutely love Blood Sweat & Tears (The official MV). It is replete with literary references and mythological allusions and imagery. An absolute feast for the eyes and sensory brain! The MV is about the most perfect production in the music industry. I’m not even exaggerating.
I agree on Blood, Sweat and Tears! Please watch the Explained video as there is so much to unpack in that MV.
Agree with both of you!
On the last tour they opened the show with this song and “not today” which is also really high energy!
Oh that's so cool! What a way to start a show!
You two have the best chemistry. Thank you for the background info and music theory that made my experience of the song so much better! There are all kinds of fan theories about the meaning behind the music videos and lyrics and yes, some of it involves mythology - i.e. the Blood, Sweat and Tears MV has multiple visual allusions to Daedalus and Icarus.
Thank you so much! And we're really excited for that one!
Caitlin (Kaitlyn?) aced her analysis of the song x') even her guess on how it would likely sound, you should totally bring her on often Andrew! BTS are well known for their amazing lyrics, as well as their many more talents of course ~ 💜 So with you both as reactors, you on the music side with your wife the writer, you're a total power couple as BTS reactors x') 👍🏻 Edit : Yes it was Jin singing the low notes when you questioned it, yes he can go low too lol Edit 2 : Jin did the high power vocals in the background, but he also sings on top of it too at the part you said about not being able to tell, so as it's backing track vocals it's not something you'll see on a live stage unfortunately x') but yeah can confirm you were right on it being Jin 👍🏻 (Also loving the bunnies 💜)
Thank you! Caitlin will be joining me about half the time so you will definitely see her again soon! Thank you for all the info, and I'm glad you're liking the bunnies!
You guys are a great team! And I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of the cute animals “eating” the algorithm! And the “bunny breaks”. 🐰
Hahaha the bunny breaks are honestly a fan favorite 😂 and "feed the KZhead algorithm" and relating to animals eating is one of the things I'm proudest of on my channel 😅
Firstly. I loved your reaction! I'm sooo glad you were able to look at the lyrics prior, then dive into the song and how it's mixes with the music (you can often find parallels), and then did the live performance! Brilliant! It adds to the whole experience and feel of the song. BTS just LOVES to add in small details (whether it'll be small unconcious nodds lyrically or musically like "the drunk way" of rapping/doing hip hop or whether it's in the music video with camera angles, lighting, clothing etc.). The rule of thumb with BTS is that everything has a purpose, and you'll only discover more connections the more you listen and the more you've experienced their content and music (they like to link everything and throw in a ton of eastereggs). So cool.
Uh. And it's the perfect combo with your wife (along with you) analyzing the lyrics and you breaking down music theory. It really allows the inspiration between the two of you to find such amazing points. Applause! And BTS' music is perfect for it.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the kind words and I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😀
This sing really get's me hyped on an entirely different level wow. And yes the performance is good, but everything seems so so tame and calm after having seen the 2019 MMA Dionysus version. They've got the entire show (37 minutes of pure INSANITY) on their KZhead ---> BTS (방탄소년단) Intro: Persona + 상남자(Boy In Luv) + 작은 것들을 위한 시(Boy With Luv) + 소우주 + Dionysus @ 2019 MMA
Yes!! I want to react to the other songs in this set before I watch the whole performance! So excited though
@@AndrewBergSax sweet!
I'll gladly take any reaction you give us! and I'm just gonna rewatch my most favorite performance ever (which i already forced my mom to watch, and my roommate too) until I can see you (and your wife?) react to it!!
Jin does have an incredible range! He is so versitile! And yes, they trade off who does the chorus parts at different points in the song!!
I love that so much! It keeps everything so interesting!
I love the set up that they read the lyrics before and see for themselves if their thoughts align with the actual message of the song.
Thank you so much! I thought it would be reay fun this way 😀
2019MMA is the GREATEST ever. Also on mythology and writers: pleaaase watch the music vid of Blood Sweat and Tears together
Thanks for the recommendations!!
A cool added note concerning the lyrics in Korean. The Korean word “alcohol” (sul) and “art” (ye-sul) rhyme so they use them for the major wordplay of the song. Basically saying if art is alcohol than we (BTS) are Dionysus, come get drunk with us.
Yes! I remember reading that on the Doolset page, and just completely forgot to mention it in the video 😂
That was my take on it lol get drunk on the song 😂
I've got that in my pocket for when my family finally realized what the song is saying. IT'S AN ALLEGORY, MOTHER!
The entire vocal line is amazing at hitting those high notes, but I’m pretty sure that this time it’s Jin that does it.
The highnote in the background was Jin but actually that is a scream😂 Jin has a naturally rock voice, he's born with it and the genre of dionysus is rap-rock,synthpop and hip hop. Jin's voice fits this song the best in my opinion.
It is common for BTS to utilize literature in creating the music (ex Blood, Sweat and Tears and Demian by Hermann Hesse or the theory of the self by Carl Jung) So why not mythology
Yes, the MMA 2019 Dionysus with its intros is the one I think that should be recommended to any reactor who wants to react to a live performance of this. Pausing and making the window small always makes reactors avoid strikes. Only if they watch a big chunk of it without pausing and with big screen do they get strikes
Yeah, unfortunately from my experience it's not always that easy with the copyright blocks, especially because YT just recently change its copyright check system... And I'm definitely going to watch the MMA 2019 performance! I have a few more songs to react to first to work up to it so I can react to the whole thing in one sitting! So excited
@@AndrewBergSax Maybe divide it into two also as a precaution to avoid copyright. Plus if you do the whole BTS performance (almost 37 minutes) with commentary it will be like an hour video
@@AndrewBergSax me too
Your wife so pretty and smart.. she is so bubbly i like her aura.. aftr rm it was jin.. v then jimin.. audio then live its really good then you can define each voice.. rm.. suga and my hobi are very dif in rapping and voices.. jin like nose tone in high notes.. jmin high sexy note.. v deep voice thar will stuck in your ears.. jk sometimes sounded like jin coz he do back up in high notes.. jk voice like angelic one.. bfore when i am confused in my audio i go on the video mv then i will know.. i am learning about them like homework hahahaha even theyre body part i know 😅😅😅😅😅😅 everyday i watched bts this is real.. my life is bts.. when my depression attack.. loneliness or super happy i go to bts world.. they are helping to go on with my boring eartly life. Borahae tnx for bts song react
You two obviously have so much chemistry as a couple and that makes your videos that much more interesting to watch!
Thank you so much! 😀
Jin most likely has the widest range of the group. Hard to say for sure. But he's comfortable low and comfortable high.
Saving this for later,my treat after a busy day.
Yes we have been waiting a long time for this! (
Great to see Caitlyn again! Love that 30-sec music theory portion, should be a regular part of every reaction. So goes for the bunny breaks, it's a video interruption that I actually enjoyed. Andrew, you're a knowledgeable, sensitive and passionate content creator, always looking forward to your reactions! Thanks for making my day! :)
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you liked all of the extra things I added! It's so nice that it worked and that you enjoyed it! This was the nicest comment and now you've made my day 😊
Yes, Jin was singing low and high in Dionysus. I suggest that you also react to Crystal Snow. If lyric video, use the first link below. For the live concert, use the second link. It was mix of the official video and shifted to a Jin fancam towards the end. The official video unfortunately did not focus on Jin when he did the amazing triple high note. A lot of Army were so upset. Good that there were fancams that were able to capture Jin's special moment. Nice that the author of the video did this mixed version. Lyric video - kzhead.info/sun/ldKhlNeZeJ-Fn4k/bejne.html (I suggest that for lyric videos, use the ones created by Zaty Farhani) Mixed concert video - kzhead.info/sun/aNWup7GPa5WOeI0/bejne.html
Thank you for the recommendation!!!
ah yeah, Crystal Snow is another amazing song! But for the lyrics video I'm not a fan of Zaty Farhani channel either... they do some fake copyright claims on their own videos in order to prevent bighit from getting the legitimate audio copyright claim
Yes, they are very literary minded. J-hope especially sprinkles in literary characters and titles throughout his lyrics - he has a firm grounding in the classics due to his father who is a literature teacher. But BTS can fashion a whole albums concept with themes drawn from one book as they did with wings, or create a connected series of albums based off of a book fashioned from the lectures of an American professor created as a primer of the theories of the founding father of analytical psychology as they did with the map of the soul series. And yes, that is really a true thing. That happened. Their music videos reference literature and folk tales and history and classical paintings and modern art installations and movies and the list goes on… These guys are just really ready to take inspiration from and make connections to the art and thoughts of others, and they have never underestimated their fans always expecting that they would find sources and make the connections and I do believe they suspect ARMY to be the most intellectual fan base in the world(and who knows? by this point they might well be). They have spurred the rise of book sales and fostered an audience who is almost thirsty for a good bit of indépendant study to really understand the underpinnings of things.
Oh my goodness! There is so much I want to say I feel like I should have been taking notes 📝 😅😅 I’m going to have to watch this again to remember everything 😄💜 Still love the Bunnies 🐰🤗 Yes, it’s Jin hitting the high and the low notes! In the same song. He’s amazing 🐹💜 *Well Done Caitlin for nailing the sound of the song *BTS usually mixes up who sings the chorus throughout the song, they don’t stick to “your part” and “my part”. They all get time to shine ✨ *The Lyric Videos often differ from Doolset and sometimes have errors in whose singing which parts. But I think that is down to ARMY working so hard to get us an English translation as quickly as possible once a song is released. So Thank You I ARMY’s. Much appreciated 💜 *Nothing BTS does is coincidental so them singing in Drunk Feel is not by accident. Also, in the live performance Suga does the Drunk Walk too. Everything is thought out to the tiniest detail. *Finally, TTLS has her moment 😁✨ *Jin is definitely Multi talented and versatile The most incredible Live performance of Dionysus is MMA 2019!! But that whole 37 minute performance is out of this world so I actually recommend saving that to watch as an extended live performance reaction. I guarantee you’ve never seen anything like it. Also, I definitely see glimpses of Caitlin’s Bias shining through 😁 😺 Thanks Andrew and Caitlin. Another great reaction and so much fun watching you guys bounce thoughts off of each other!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the thorough comment and for the MMA 2019 suggestion! And TTLS deserved its moment! Maybe it can even get more moments 😀
Agreed with your respond aso Catlin is a joy to watch
That belt in the song was made by Jin. He mentions in an interview that their producer PDogg called him to record his scream and when he got there he only told him to scream and later on Jin realized it was in the song.
Loved the bunny breaks, and loved her even more lol
Hahaha 😂
So glad to see Caitlin back. Love your energy & personality. I had so much fun watching the other video. By the way, you remind me so much of the actress Kristin Bell.
Hahaha she loved hearing that 😊 And thank you so much!
The lyrics of this song were voted the best in the album by experts
Jin actually even hits the high note/scream live during their online concert for mots 7.
The way I giggled when Andrew suggested the song could be a ballad lol with bts you have to fear the unexpected 😎
Hahaha but it could! 😂 literally every song from now on, no matter the message, could be rock, pop, a jazz ballad.... I can't predict it!
@@AndrewBergSax Haha, when you get to them, please predict what kind of songs Anpanman, Airplane pt. 2, and Telepathy will be :D. I think Love Yourself: Tear had the most diverse genres of songs on it (telepathy from latest album Be, but the genre description from Tae is hilarious- he said like 5 words for the genre)
React to one of their Japanese songs, my recommend " Crystal snow ".
Jin did that high note 😄
😮
Great reaction!😍 Seeing Caitlin fanboying over Suga's rap is the cutest!😊 Andrew getting worked up over the use of the upbeat and downbeat and the "drunk" style used by V&Suga too cute! Andrew the high note that you hear at the end of the song is Jin and I'm pretty sure it is Jin in that part of the track that caught your attention. Caitlin they have used the mythology theme before in previous songs/videos 2018 Singularity (Narcissus and Echo), 2016 BST(Narcissus), 2020 Black Swan(Narcissus). They used a lot of literary references, folklore, philosophy, and psychology references in their art.😁 Journey on💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Also to answer your question at the end, BTS takes inspiration from a ton of different sources, including mythology! They've done whole albums based off of Carl Jung's psychological theories, Demian by Herman Hess, Ursula K Leguin's the Ones Who Walk Away From Omela's and more! Namjoon (RM) is the one that does a lot of their lyric writing and he reads *a ton* and as such is interested in a lot of the psychological and moral conundrums posed by these works. He usually manages to find a way to work it into their lyrics somehow! (And I'm so happy to see your wife back again! She truly has such a positive personality that's almost infectious through the screen and as an English major (and English lit nerd), it makes me so happy anytime fellow English literature nerds find joy in BTS' work! I loved seeing how she broke down the lyrics and then got excited when they popped up! I can't wait to see what you two react to next!)
Ad libs at the end are Jin!! Also, for some reason, a lot of reactors have gotten dinged on this performance, so no worries, the bunny breaks are cute! But this is one of my fav performances of all time, along with the mma 2019, which fellow ARMYs have already mentioned. Thanks for your reaction💜
I am loving your videos of these BTS Down the Rabbit Hole reactions! Together you are really fun to watch and I'm also enjoying the writing and music theories you are putting out there! As one who has also fallen into the BTS rabbit hole, I can totally relate to your excitement.
Thank you so much! I'm always so impressed at how versatile everyone is and how different all of the songs are! It's so cool!
I also love how this song could comparatively turn stadium shows into modern day dionysias where once again the mad artist gods and their acolytes get drunk on art and experience mass ecstasy.
I love that you took the time to read the lyrics first. Personally, I think that's a good way of doing it to get a feel for what the song is really about first. Especially when watching the music videos for the first time, as there's a LOT of visuals and that sometimes makes it hard to concentrate on what the lyrics are saying. And I consider the lyrics to be some of the most beautiful parts of BTS songs. And I think a lot of reactors (not all, but a lot of them) miss too much when they try and react to both visuals and lyrics at the same time. And I love that you watched a live performance as well. 1. Get to know the lyrics and the message, 2. Hear how the lyrics sound within the song itself/MV visuals, 3. Experience how they perform the song when in front of a live audience. I think you definitely got a well-rounded experience with this song. I really like watching both of your reactions. The lyrical insights as well as the musical ones. One of my favorite parts about BTS songs is they can be interpreted in so many ways. So don't ever worry about "interpreting it wrong", because I don't think you can. Everyone thinks and processes lyrics and music in different ways because we are all unique and have unique experiences and knowledge. So you interpreting it one way and throwing out whatever thoughts/vibes you get, may be something I've never thought of before. I remember in one of RM's early logs, he said something to the effect of that rather than making songs that you understand right away, he wanted to make music that gets better every time you listen to it. So any new interpretations I find just help me appreciate the songs more and more. I really love your reactions and can't wait for more! 💜💜💜
You guys are so perfect!!! I love getting both analyzes of the music as well as the lyrics! Perfect reaction combo!! (Jin sings the high note btw)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the breakdown of the video 😀
The last high note is by Jin ♥️♥️
Yes! I don't remember if this was this Sienna's first work for them? I know she also did the choreo for ON then, later on...
That super high note is actually Jin! He mentioned in one of the videos (you can find it on bangtantv) that one night when he was about to leave the studio, one of the producers just stopped him and asked him scream LOL
At 21.58 the high note you hear is actually Jin screaming. I came across a video where he said that Pdogg asked Jin to scream as he prefers at the point of the song. Hence, the high note we hear 😊💜
when it comes to bts, all of the music inspired by something pre-existing is this well done when it comes to references, metaphors, and everything else lyrically. if she was surprised by how good dionysus was at that, i can't wait for you both to dig into more bts :)
Thank you, I know, we're so excited to listen to more! 😀
Oh my, what a great and cute reaction. You guys are so adorable! 😍 I love how you delved into the song and its meaning. This idea was a masterful one and the execution was top-notch. As folks have said it was a great live performance, it was the opening song for their last tour and the choreographer was a 19-year-old woman out of LA from the dance troupe The Lab named Sienna Lalau. 👍🏾
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you liked the style of the video and I appreciate the info 😊
@@AndrewBergSax the push up choreo part was really dangerous they got injured so much in practice Army protested. BTS changed the choreo because Army was so worried for them!
When you do get to 2019 MMA performance, please pay attention to the very end where you can feel their heart beat out of this world. I fell in love with BTS after watching the very performance but my heart aches every time I watch it because they endured so much for that performance. I don't know how they withstood all that heat and sound while singing and dancing with such energy. A behind the scene clip showed Jimin collapse when he tried to get up from the chair. To say that I appreciate BTS's existence is an understatement. They are truly amazing. You and I began this journey around the same time. I am at Run BTS phase at the moment and I love their different personalities. I hope you continue your journey and learn more about Korean music and culture.
I remember Bang Chan (Stray Kids) when they did a cover performance of this track, he said that it was a lot of pressure to do justice to this song and even said that it was kinda difficult coz of the numerous adlibs but yes! SKZ did a great job.
Thank you Andrew, we got twinkle twinkle after all hahah! Please never apologize for the musical theory breaks, I’d happily have 3 minutes if not 30. Your passion for music really comes through in your explanations and it makes it such a delight and I want to hear more!! Caitlin, it was so satisfying to hear your take on the wine/arts drunk just from your lyrics read through because I feel like it would be so easy to take this song at face value and I adore the depth and significance of the mythological elements in the song. It’s one of those that was ten times cooler once I realised what they were doing in that way! You have the most wonderfully creative mind to appreciate BTS lyrics and I can’t wait to get your perspective on many more should you want to ☺️ My first reaction when Caitlin predicted it being intense was just ‘yuuup, and wait until the performance’ because they don’t do anything by halves and there’s always that vision.. I feel like it’s really quite clever because everything from the staging and the outfits to the choreography is such a production that after I watched my first Dionysus performance, I can’t help but have that picture of it all when I hear the song and it just fits. To summarize my long ramble (sorry!) Dionysus is a bop and thank you for another great video - the music and literary lover in me can’t get enough of the two of you, it’s the perfect world! 😄
💜💜💜
Thank you so much, Molly! TTLS has its moment! Well at least one of its moments 😀 I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I agree, every time I've heard this song since, I just think of them in their togas and suits 😂
I love this format of your reaction: lyrics, mv/lyrics vid, live performance. 😊 You couple are so fun to watch! I highly recommend the song 134340 with your wife. Great lyricism by RM again and some jazzy feels for you. 👍🏼
Ok but Dionysius live in their concert is the most legendary opening ever. 🥲
i love how both of you look at each other so lovingly when someone's explaining something!!!! 🥺
This is my first time watching your channel and you guys are knowledgeable, insightful, and simply adorable as a couple. I really enjoyed your knowledge of Music, the Arts, and philosophy and how all the these disciplines complement one another, which is also the basis of BTS' powerful and moving lyrics.
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊
Jin sang all this high note runs at the end. Only 1 performance shows one of these runs live. Look at the MOTS:ONE Dionysis Day 2 performance.
Love that when you asked who sang the high note in the background and it was Jin singing the chorus part simultaneously lol
Dyonisus MAMA 2019. SPECTACULAR. All the performance is soooooo good....
