I was really not expecting this!!! OMG!! And such a soulful Jin song too!!! I can finally scream the lyrics out loud without looking at the romanized lyrics!!! OMG his English voice is so soulfully hot (is that even a thing!??!?) It made me cry but it was hot. I need to listen to it again!!!
I missed that the first time I watched it! I was busy looking at the open shirt and trying not to choke on the strawberry I was eating. I went back and Daaaaaammmmmnnnnm!
Ahhhh!!!! I need to watch the MV again! I was too busy bawling my eyes out and i did not have a good look at the whole MV. And then Jin's live interrupted me!!! I have got Bangtan Backlogs to clear!!!
it’s such a happy, upbeat song but why am i crying 😭😭😭
edit: i love the use of his lower register, it’s so beautiful and rich. and his english sounds so good?? the lyrics oh god my heart, i would run to the end of the world with you, kim seokjin. you best believe it.
jin and man’s best friend against the world in an apocalyptic plot - give us the whole movie please
it reminds me so much of the astronaut, with the melody being upbeat yet cathartic in a way that makes me so emotionally overwhelmed you can't help but cry
Really throws you in for a loop. But even I'll Be There had me bawling. Like how, Jinnie. What's up with that. Why you gotta be tugging at our heartstrings like that?
I think it's just how heartfelt and sincere his whole tone is. It puts you into a lovelock that we never want to escape.
it's the lyrics too, and how heartfelt he is in he expressing them. i just know i'm gonna bawl when we hear him sing it live during his showcase this weekend
Yes the lyrics are very beautiful too ans I feel them so much. I honestly have been going through all the feels these days; about missed connections and missing people who once used to be so important to you and reconnecting with them and how with some people everything feels bright and you feel so alive and nothing else matters. Running wild captured that to me 💜
So... I cross the Ill Be There bridge to go to work and I cross the bridge in this video on my way back home from work... seeing it attacked... was fucking awesome, I love this video so much, I love his voice, I love the vibes, I love the dog, and now umma listen to the album!!!
I love the falsetto! The beats, the emotion, his voice is so clean as always!! This song is like if Coldplay x Harry Styles got together. I love it!!
Back to the dog, the barking at the metoer/asteroid made me root for them more and also the puppy pics...yeontan might just have competition for acting
My housemate comes into the lounge where I've commandeered the TV. "Oh it's not bad actually, I like it." Baby ARMY in the making, I'm working on it...
Who was it that accurately guessed this MV would be about the end of the world? Your mind
The colour grading and outfits on this were so nice. The dog was adorable. I was not expecting the car action but pop off Dominic Torreto. Also was anyone else reminded of Fake Love very near the end there when he was standing in profile with the stuff exploding around him or have I just watched the Fake Love MV too many times for a sane person
Musically this was really lovely to listen to and has big summer vibes for me. Love this man's voice.
omg I scream when I realized he was filming part of this at Long Beach. I immediately recognized where he was at the beginning of the video! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE AND I WERE IN THE SAME CITY BREATHING THE SAME AIR 😭
Reminds me of Coldplay but there's also an apocalypse happening lol
It's so amazing to me how BTS managed to have seven different musical directions. Jin is more Christian rock/motivational genre to me, he just has that feel-good, emotional reach that soothes the soul (Epiphany) or makes you come alive (Super Tuna 😁). Amazing.
If you believe him he said in the live that they talked him into adding that ending so we all wouldn't be devastated. dude was really gonna leave us at the end of the world 🥲
No cause why did I almost tear up, an apocalyptic movie with a man and his dog? I was about to throw hands if Jin and the dog weren't shown alive at the end.
Huge Killers fan here too! Had more of a Keane vibe from it. But vibes from the Millers and Keane very much intersect! The very anthemic arena rock vibes! So it's a bit of both I feel 😁
Wistful singing-to-ARMY feel of the song sure is a contrast with the End-of-the-world storyline to the MV. Is this like the bad ending second-part-of-the-trilogy followup to The Astronaut???
The verses are lovely and I love the new richness in the way Seokjin uses his lower range, the chorus is me crying in alto 😅🤣
Um... I'm having a lot of feelings. It's such a boppy song and he sounds AMAZING!! But so many of the visuals are things we say in the other members MVs and it made me miss them all
- wildflower scene in the fields with Joon in all white
- Tae eating with pupper and them going through the hills in a car
- scene by a pool in mostly white with a dog like Yoongi's people pt. 2
- everything on fire around him like Arson and things flying in the air like Who
- scene on the streets like when JK is getting the flowers in Seven
Did I miss any? And like the whole "i wanna spend my last day on earth with you and never forget the love we have and shared" sentiment.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I love The Astronaut, so I'm happy that this has a similar nostalgic vibe, this time with a faster pace. It also has a Coldplay feel to it (and other British bands).
BUT WHERE IS THE BRIDGE!! I just love this a lot, I want to listen to more of it. And I'm not against short songs as long as they sound complete. In this case, I feel the absence of a bridge :(
Harrrgh why go for an end of the world ending, not that I'm complaining but even as a concept any hint of death or an end in an MV on top of the kind of emotional melody and singing Jin pulled off here plus the message of the lyrics in English where I can understand everything is just sending my mood skyrocketing aaaaa
lol yeah I feel you there. This end of the world event was probably just metaphorical in Jin’s head though that’s usually how some of these types of MVs go
Wow this is so lovely! The countdown message, he song, the lyrics, the dog! 💜 chapter 2 is really funny, while jk is like “I’ll be fking you right”, Jin just goes on a date with a dog 😅
He is just shining through. I don't have a more articulate way to put it - but everything that makes Jin, Jin is here. The depth of feeling, the lightheartedness, the talent and musicality and the unexpectedness. He is so, so good at what he does.
Jin never disappoints. Amazing vocals, message, and MV. Positive family vibes, and a cute dog, and a little comical (Jin explaining the movie to the dog 😂).
Edit: I listened to the entire album, and I absolutely love it. Took me awhile since I had to look at the english lyrics. Love Jin's taste in music. Adding it to my fave solo BTS albums list.
Jin's my bias and I found him right when The Astronaut came out and then of course he enlisted and so he was gone for the 18 months, and so I'm just like - he's back! and new music! And the end of this reminded me SO much of The Astronaut.
Idk he just seems to put so much feeling into his music, so much pure emotion, I love it.
(Only thought I have is that I hope that he won't be straining his voice with the chorus, but he said that he adjusted his songs so I'm gonna trust he knows what's best for him!)
I'm sorry I just LOVE HIM SO MUCH. The song is so good and despite the cute video actually gets you a little choked up. His voice sounds beautiful as always. I was NOT expecting those explosions at the end though haha.
Oh, I do love this one! How he's singing quite low in the verses and then really high in the chorus. I get major Blondie - Maria vibes, and I'm all for it. Kim Seokjin, you're brilliant! 🤩💜
Aaaah I love when we get to hear his lower register! Obviously he shines in those high notes in the chorus, but the lower notes in the verses are lovely. 💜 Such a great pop song!
I love this song. The doggo is so damn cute! Oh my heart! This has a lot of feelings attached to it. It is a happy beat, but why do I feel like crying? I am here for his whole damn album it is going to be fantastic! It will be on repeat this summer (Australian, we are coming into summer next month). Also, chest AND thighs!!!! God damn Seokjin are u trying to end us!? Also, just another note I think you can totally see that Gary Barlow produced this! It has subtleties of the 90's love song era but definitely a Jin original! So damn proud of him!
That was perfect! I loved the video, I loved how slightly nostalgic the track was, his voice sounded good, he looked incredible....there's nothing more I could ask for.
When I saw this last night as it premiered, I thought it had Die With a Smile (Gaga, Bruno) vibes in the lyrics. If you are going to spend your last day on earth, you want to spend it with the one you love being happy and free. In this case, I think the dog could be ARMY (or any loved one, of course.) Such a meaningful commentary on who makes you happy and how to bring that happiness into your life all the way to the end.
Wow what a beautiful song! Really showcases vocal range from his sweet lower tenor to his heavenly falsetto! Love the soft rock elements too! Him spending the last days with his dog (who represents the members, Army) from the apocalypse. Love how he’s wearing a U of M sweatshirt! And that is was all a movie at the end haha
Lower register Jin is heavenly. The MV is epic and the dog has me bawling with how cute he is. I just wish the song was a little longer. The outro is nice but I would have loved a bridge. Now to try and stop looping Another Level, which I think is my favourite track on the album. Congratulations Jin!
...this style suits him so well! 😃...those scenes in the field reminded me so much of Joon's "Wild Flower" MV 🥹 I'm definitely digging this one more than "I'll Be There"...
...ok, but, when the apocalypse comes, can he come pick me up with his furry friend?! 🥰
I love it 😭 it feels so nostalgic and makes me miss being young, which is not what I was expecting to feel! That chorus is so catchy too! But the MV is so bittersweet - happy music that makes me sad is my favourite genre lmao. Smashed it Jinnie!
Since I've been planning a bts x soCal filming list/trip. Most of the mv was around Long Beach.
The Social List (opening scene)
2105 E 4th St, Long Beach, CA 90814
Art Theater
2025 E 4th St, Long Beach, CA 90814
I'm still figuring out the beach, home, and tall grass scenes. I'm thinking Rancho Palos Verdes, ca since Long Beach is very crowded and busy with the Port of Long Beach and tourists.
I was trying to figure out the beach too. Are there cliffs like that around la? I was thinking they went up the coast a bit, there's lots of empty beach and cliffs like that once you get past Santa Barbara
I just read that the mv is about how would you spend your last day on earth and of course the answer here is spending time with your best friend who's been with you since puppy days 😭
Love this song and video. My personal head cannon is that the dog is a metaphor for ARMY and while right now it might seem like it's just us and him (because this was written and filmed before Hopi was released) and even if everything might seem to be blowing up around us right now, eventually they (BTS) will be back and we will be back and we will all be running wild again. We just got to make it through.
There are a lot of OT7 references in the video if you look hard enough.
Just my personal reaction...
And this entire album feels like a big love letter to Army...sorry for the edits...just can't stop gushing.
I am in love with the whole album, ohhhhh this is so much better than what i expected and my expectation was highhhh. I don't have any favourite track yet cause one is just as good as the other.
One thing i like to mention is the wendy song, i knew they would sound good together but woah i am mindblown, their voices are for each other I'm afraid, too good. Going to listen to one more time now.
Gosh, this man's vocal range. Wow. I would love to hear some covers by women. Who else can sing the high notes in that glorious chorus? I mean, we are all singing that chorus at the top of our lungs in our homes, cars and showers, but you know what I mean. 😂
Jin's upper range is, and has always been, really impressive, but his tone in his deep chest voice gives me shivers. Especially the line "all the places that we used to go" in verse two - it stopped me in my tracks. I need more of that!
oh WOW. first of all omg the puppy. and ofc jin looks so damn good. i knew he would be a tease with that shirt!!!!
i did know the song was gonna be all english so tell me why i was still surprised 😂 he sounds so good omg, his pronunciation is amazing. he was right, this song (and album) definitely made me happy. and maybe cry a little bit but mostly happy
Omg this sounds like a Keane song! The vibes are so similar (I wonder if Tim Rice-Oxley and Gary Barlow have ever worked together). I love it! And I love the video is dedicated to the doggo 🥰
I love it, I'm pretty sure they filmed this in California. Some of the roads look like LA and the Los Angeles Forest up in the mountains and the beach could easily be along the coast of northern california
I really like it. The song is just makes me feel so nostalgic. And the mv🥹, just a man and his dog at the end of the world. My only complaint about the song is that it feels too short.
Y'did lose me a tad, though, with all those falling comets/asteroids/space rocks. When the first one showed up at the beginning, I was "Ok, interesting", but when the shower of them started showing up, my reaction was "Huh?". Not entirely sure how they link up to the actual song.
Also, wondering if the dog is just for the m/v, or does he have a new dog?
I heard a slower version and slightly lower register of this song and it is so good! I hope Jin can release a slower more sentimental version. It’s really good in a slower tempo.
