An old favorite and a new favorite

It’s been a long time since I posted a song!

I was recently introduced (you know who you are) to the phenomenon that is Bangtan Boys (BTS). Tonight I was looking up Jukebox-nominated songs on YouTube and I was recommended this (its not a Jukebox nomination, it’s just that YouTube’s recommendation algorithm has plumbed the depths of my heart — it’s very scary).

Maybe this just goes to show how cheesy I am, but I love this song to pieces and they do a really good job with it. I love their glittery mics awkwardly paired with their tweedy English outfits, and their occasional mispronunciations, and their swaying…



I don’t think I’m going to argue this one is almost better than sex. It’s almost better than hygge, how’s that?

Aw. This is a nice one. Yes, the microphones are part of their personas, especially Jin's pink one. He's the pink dude. And Jungkook usually has purple (which is the fan colour). I like that we get the rap line harmonizing underneath the vocal line. The early bit with Jin and RM was nice. We don't get a lot of Namjin moments anymore. Jin does earnest better than all of them.

Welcome to the Borg ARMY! We're getting a new album on June 10 so mark the calendar!

I like that there's a version of this cover on YouTube with "color coded lyrics" so we can see who's singing each line. It gives me a good sense for the different qualities of their voices. Jungkook sings "Light will guide you home" so beautifully (and V provides a great contrast on the same line at the end.) The duet verses blend really well.

New album! Exciting!

Color coded lyrics are essential! It's a certain kind of feeling when you use them and realize that the lyric is in English! Or a kind of English.

I have listened to it a couple of times this morning. You've got me hooked!

I'm still just dipping a toe in but I've really enjoyed what I've seen/listened to.
