Happy 9th Birthday BTS
I have to share my experience of being with bts this past year. I became an army february of 2021 and I truly believe in that saying of "you meet bts when you need the most" because with me was 100% the case. 2021 was a very difficult year, the worst year of my life even and discovering bts was a given for me to go through the year. They are an inspiration, a support and make the lives of many people more positive, it´s very very easy to love them. I´m counting to be on their side for many more years and let´s enter together in the next chapter!
I'm so in love with Run BTS from their new album. I could write a whole article about this piece. Firstly it reminded me of their beginnings. The rap line dominated the songs and even the vocal line spoke more than actually sang. But when the sing it reflects their ranges so freaking well. Especially Jimin and Jin in the bridge part are killing me every time and then later on their falsettos *chief kiss*. V and JK are the basis for the other two and also kill their parts. The rap line as whole just flexed. I was killed and got sent to heaven. Yoongi just rapped without taking a breath like it was the most natural thing ever. Hobi showed a complete new voice in my opinion,I have never heard him like this. And RM's flow is so fucking vibey you need to move your body to it. I just stop here but this song is one of the best songs I've heard ever. Period.
All of those 9 years together, the ups and downs, the success and failure, the growing and learning alongside one another, the journey to finding self-love and understanding to not find validation from others feelings towards you but from your own passions, dreams, and achievements. So much pride, so many tears shed, so many moments of laughter and joy and happiness shared together and 'Proof' was only the closing of Chapter 1.
I can't imagine what Chapter 2 will bring but thanks to BTS I'll definitely be around to find out.
A lot of songs are hitting harder after the festa. Yet to come, jimin choosing to put the song “ friends “. “When this cheer dies down one day, stay by my side” I’m emotionally drained. But I’m also proud and happy they came forward to tell us. Namjoon sounds like he has been holding on to these thoughts for a while now. I completely lost it when namjoonie broke down. Idk when this hiatus going to end or what the future is going to hold. but I know that I will always love and support all of them.
On a positive note, i cant wait for their individual albums. Jhope probably going to drop first. that might mean he will perform his new songs at lollapalooza. let’s all cheer for him.
One day in 2016, when I wanted to stop existing altogether, I found 7 boys from a corner of the world. I laughed and cried and grew up along with them. Those 7 kids and their music made me wanna live longer just for the heck of it.
Like Kim Namjoon said, in a multiverse of realities, what are the chances that 7 random people from different parts of SK came together and made it work as a team and for this long and that too at the top of the world.
Bangtan you've run for so long. We want each of you to know how much it means to all of us that you're always there whenever we needed help, comfort, and joy. And I hope you know in the future, even if you decide to never become Bangtan again, we'll still all be there for all of you.
I dunno what's the repayment for saving my life, but I hope you feel much comforted letting all that weight on your shoulders go even for a little while. And I'll try harder to reach you and tell you this in person at a time you may need to hear this the most.
Until we get to meet. It's always been you Bangtan. It'll always be you.
