Better late than never! 5th Video up: How to Set Up Sinking Funds // Sinking Funds -Real Numbers // Debt Free Journey youtube.com/watch?v=XmCY0b…

notice how BTS is the ONLY artists rn who can give this creative breakdown of their songs? Im sorry but even the pop girls who descrive their songs are talking about some sort of romantic heartbreak. ALWAYS. Or the other artists just dont have enough musical knowledge to discuss

"Tapi BTS, tanpa satupun anggota yang meninggalkan grup, tanpa anggota yang cedera, dan tanpa anggota yang mengambil masa rehat, kini sedang melakukan segalanya dengan baik." ーKim Namjoon

News anchor faces backlash from fans after claiming BTS Oreos spell out “death to America” nme.com/news/music/new…

the industry is fast & algorithm-fed. the public is conditioned to treat music as a passing trend but namjoon yearns to build architecture. bts’ legacy on lyrics is him saying: i didn't make a sound for you to casually walk past. i built a room. step inside and look at the walls

One More Night 🐨 I don’t really have that much to say about this song I think I wrote my part while thinking something like this. I mean, the other parts of the song too & the lyrics, I think I wrote them with this in mind: Someday, because of you, I’ll probably end up crying for a long time. What frightens me, what is already sad, is how much our shadows have come to resemble each other So, when you love someone, that person could be a lover or it could really be all of you. I’m relying on this person so much, giving & receiving so much love. And you know how, when you’re so happy, you can also feel so sad? Because you’ve become too alike. Because being together is so good. Already, that loss is there. There is clearly such a thing as a bond that belongs to a certain time. Or something could happen to us, to Bangtan & there are so many possible cases. In this world, in this multiverse, to already be grieving even that far ahead is such a foolish thing. But I think that too is love That heart. That very, very vulnerable truth. Even so, the heart that wants to do something together for just one more night. The human condition of looking toward the saddest future from the happiest point in time. I think I was thinking about something like that Maybe we’ll sing this song in concert someday

#NAMJOON sobre "Like Animals": 🐨Originalmente, 'Like Animals' ya era una canción que existía, era un tema que ya estaba en la pre-sesión. Pero ese tema era una canción muy, muy sexual. Sus letras ya eran un poco así, saben? Algo como: 'If you wanna be animals... Baby, you can be animals' Qué seguía después? Bueno, era algo por el estilo. Tenía una vibra del tipo: 'Vivir con dolor es hermoso', o algo así. Una vibra con un toque de sadismo y masoquismo, donde nos tratábamos el uno al otro como animales. Originalmente era esa clase de canción, pero... pensamos que el contenido sexual no era del todo adecuado para el momento en el que planeábamos lanzarla. Así que la cambiamos para que fuera una canción que despertara más el 'instinto'. Aunque, honestamente, creo que habría estado bien dejarla con el tono sexual original, porque la melodía y el sonido en sí ya tienen esa atmósfera sensual. A mí realmente me gusta mucho 'Like Animals'. Es un estilo psicodélico que no habíamos intentado antes y a mí me gusta mucho lo psicodélico, y en este tipo de sonido contamos con gran ayuda de artemis. 🐨 Creo que necesitábamos incluir este tipo de sonidos para poder dar un paso hacia adelante y avanzar. No podemos seguir haciendo siempre lo mismo. Eso es lo que estaba pensando. Pero al mismo tiempo, hoy que salió 'Attack on Bangtan', fue tan agradable volver a escucharla. Pensé: 'wow, esto realmente te llena de energía! Nuestro equipo de verdad tiene un toque muy romántico/nostálgico'. Creo que me quedé pensando en eso.

WE LOVE YOU NAMJOON WE ARE PROUD OF YOU NAMJOON WE BELIEVE IN YOU NAMJOON

Today's Namjoon live felt so personal, so raw, so painfully beautiful. We are finally back to hearing the album-making stories again… the little behind moments that only BTS can make feel this emotional. When Joon said the members were mentally low around the time of Jin’s military discharge, and that they all gathered at Jimin’s house and cried together… it broke something in me. They always carried so much quietly. Even during their hardest moments, they chose to stay together. And hearing him talk about how they once used to fix their makeup in hallways because they had nothing… but now they are given the biggest rooms everywhere they go and the first thing he did was thank ARMY. That growth, those years of struggle, every sacrifice they never forgot any of it. Then he talked about how he and Yoongi hyung would step forward whenever the group was struggling, trying to hold BTS together… and you realize once again that BTS was never built only on music. It was built on love, trust, pain, loyalty, and seven people constantly choosing each other over and over again. They are not “just another group.” They are a family in the truest sense. The kind of family that cries together, carries each other, protects each other, and survives together. You can genuinely see how deeply they love and care for one another, and maybe that’s why BTS feels different from everyone else. Their bond was never manufactured it was lived through years of hardship, fear, success, and endless devotion. And as ARMY, being able to witness this love is such a precious thing. 💜 Now I look at the picture differently🥹

“Normal is a sad song” Yes it is. Rapline’s verses especially broke me the first time I heard them. And the way their verses directly reflect their roles and the mantles they’ve adopted as RM, SUGA and j-hope of BTS. Hobi. The man who has literal hope in his name. Who became the embodiment of hope and light to so many. The one deemed the happy one. The one everyone looks to when they’re down. The man who felt like he couldn’t show show hi struggles and fears and worries because he’s always had to be the positive one. The easy going one. The man who even during times where he was not ok, would smile, square his shoulders and say, yea I’m okay I’m your hope after all. He sings, “How am I supposed to feel? Used to think I was built with a heart made of steel. Now I understand the truth, some pain don’t heal. If everything’s just happy, that ain’t real.” Yoongi. The man who has openly admitted that mundane things like going to the movies are what he cherishes most. The one who cried when he realised how big bts was becoming and what it meant for them. The man who people went after because of his vulnerability. The man who has openly spoken about his mental health struggles. The man who had to compartmentalise his identities to make sense of his journey, his anger, his frustrations. The man who over the years has come to accept that this was what he chose. His normal. He sings, “I breathe everything out like a thousand times. Normal and special, they are just some lines. One deep sigh, then it slips away, fades away. What I try to keep never want to stay.” And then— Namjoon. The leader of BTS. The literal front line of his team. The man who has carried all of this for over a decade. The man whose words are constantly taken, kneaded, broken down, twisted, reimagined. The man who is criticised twice as hard because of who he is, the team he’s part of and the company he’s from. The man who at some point lost his true self in all the varied versions of himself that he had to become to satisfy every party. Versions that haunted him. He sings, “Run away, pushin me, pullin me. Said you wanted all of me but what is even all of me? Suddenly, part of me is haunting me. Heard the things they callin me, what the hell you want from me?” So yes. A hundred times yes. Normal is a very very sad song.

THIS IS FRYING ME😭😭😭😭😭

🐨 : Mengenai 'Merry-Go-Round'... Di awal-awal saat mengerjakan lagu, ada teman produser yang datang bernama Sam. Saat sedang mengerjakan lagu bersama Sam dan sambil mengobrol santai, obrolan kami sampai ke Tame Impala. Saya bilang kepadanya, 'Ah, saya ini penggemar berat Tame Impala. Sebenarnya saya sangat ingin bekerja sama dengannya untuk album solo saya, meskipun belum kesampaian.' 🐨 : Lalu dia bilang kalau dia berteman dengan Tame Impala dan mereka pernah bekerja sama. Jadi, entah itu *beat* khas Tame Impala atau *beat* yang dikerjakan Sam bersamanya, saya tidak tahu pasti, tapi saat ia memutarkan banyak *beat*, ia memutarkan yang satu ini. Saya langsung bilang, 'Wah, saya sangat suka yang ini.' 🐨 : Saya menceritakan hal ini hanya untuk menunjukkan bahwa proses pembuatan lagu di sebuah sesi juga bisa terjadi dengan cara santai seperti ini. Setelah mendengar *beat* itu, saya harus pindah ke ruangan lain. Saat itu ada songwriter bernama Aldae yang juga banyak berkontribusi di lagu-lagu kami kali ini. Dia ini teman yang sangat berbakat dan pernah mengerjakan lagu seperti 'Flowers' milik Miley Cyrus. 🐨 : Sepertinya saat itu saya menitipkan pesan kepada Aldae sebelum pergi. Saya memintanya, 'Saya ingin kamu mencoba menulis melodi untuk *beat* ini dengan topik 'Merry-Go-Round.' 🐨 : Alasannya adalah, saat berada di militer pun begitu, dan sama halnya dengan lagu 'Swim', hidup sebagai seorang idola atau penyanyi membuat hari-hari terasa terus berulang. Kita tidak bisa lepas dari rutinitas yang terus berulang tersebut. Namun, jika *'Swim'* berbicara tentang harapan, *'Merry-Go-Round'* sebenarnya menceritakan tentang kebosanan dan keputusasaan di dalamnya. 🐨 : Jadi, saya selalu memikirkan tentang komedi putar (merry-go-round). Baik saat berada di militer maupun dalam menjalani kehidupan (sebagai artis) ini, saya selalu teringat pada komedi putar, sebuah komedi putar di mana saya tidak bisa turun darinya.
