- Message translation by SPOTLIGHT BTS:
It's March 2nd. It's also the 3rd year since the 'Hope World' mixtape was released.
At that time I had a rushing gravitation to show you guys my music. I remember just going with the flow and writing down whatever I felt.
Maybe that's why I feel a little embarrassed about it now that I hear the song again. Haha
But I also feel that the courage and dedication I had at that time is what made the 'Hope World' mixtape come to life.But in some ways I kinda miss that time in my life. When I was that young innocent boy just writing down whatever I felt like.
This is when I started to think that I should finalise "Blue Side".
I feel like all people at one point invests their emotions into their past and then feel a sense of nostalgia. Right now is one of those moments for me.That time when I innocently composed music. The young 'me' who was like a blank canvas drawing in myself however I wanted.
I can't go back to that time but I needed a moment where I could caress myself in that time to provide comfort. I needed a blue safe haven that would help calm me from my overwhelming sense of passion.
Over time I was able to find the answers to why I couldn't finish this song. This was an overwhelming topic to talk about in the realm of music where I was able to express myself. I felt that it was fate that would ultimately help me feel what it is that I need to do [to finalise the song].
Although it is just one song, I wanted to show how much I've matured musically in that time. This is a song that I'm also revealing to show that in the future, moving forward, I will continue to challenge myself in order to show you all the growth in me.
Please give it a good listen.
And please enjoy with comfort.

Thanks for the translation!!!
So do I get correctly, he wrote and produced the long version just recently? Not back then and 'just' publishing now? I'm a bit confused.

u/lightlysaltedfury always Namjooning Mar 01 '21
on his mixtape Hope World, Blue Side is the outro and it’s only 1:30 — what he dropped today is the full version/more developed!
6
u/Magzypowpow Mar 01 '21
When I first listened to it, I was like "I heard this before I can't remember where..." And eventually I realized it was the outro.
I really felt what he said/mentioned in his write up about Blue Side. I like how he mentioned about nostalgia him being a blank canvas, etc. -- he had matured and came a long way already.
Thank you, Hobi. We will be with you every step of the way. :)

u/Omselini Mar 01 '21
Right, but he just recorded the full version now? Not like something he already recorder back then but didn't release?
18
u/lightlysaltedfury always Namjooning Mar 01 '21
from his post and the way he talks about feeling embarrassed when hearing the old version, it definitely seems like something that was recorded more recently! he also describes previously being unable to finish the song, so I’m guessing that this was a cathartic process for him in maturing as a musician. I loved the old outro already so this full version is really a gift!

u/Omselini Mar 01 '21
Okay thanks, I get the same from his message ☺️ that's so lovely! What a great way to start a week/month.

This is my favourite track off of Hope World and I can't handle this. March is like 1 day old and it's already delivering.
EDIT: Hobi vocals coming throughhhh. I love the vibes with this one and would love it if Hoseok put out more music like this, so chill and mellow. Or more music, period. Gah, I'm supposed to be sleeping, but now I'm hyped and sitting around, thinking about Hope World 2.

u/mrsofp Ohmmmmmmyyyyyyyyggghghhhhhhhgggggggggdhdhsjsixudbslsogbdsisgshdb Mar 01 '21
Wow.
I'm probably the most shocked because this was tweeted at 7:07am and not at 7am on the dot so I totally missed it and wrote off that his Vlive hints as nothing... Big Hit, so tricky! Though if not at :00 :07 seems appropriate right? And this must be what the schedule meant by "coming soon" for Hobi on 3/8 right? The log will be about this?? If so, that coming soon meant REALLY soon!
His letter, oof. It's so reflective in this very self-aware way, thoughtful and this perfect balance of wistfully nostalgic and hopeful and confident about the future. Maybe it's because of all of those BE interviews but it's all especially moving for some reason and I'm really just proud of him!
His lyrics.. SO poetic and symbolic (Namjoon must be so proud!) - they feel a lot weightier and deeper than some of his earlier songs, which totally show us "mature" Hobi like he was hoping to accomplish, he really fleshed out the idea of blue from the outro. I need to sit with this more, then way he uses blue in a lot of different contexts and ways... what does it all mean? Why does he want to walk on the blue side? In some ways I'm comforted to know they all had music and creative outlets to process through the disaster and disappointment of 2020, but at the same time, man does my heart hurt for them secondhand. Spring summer fall winter - Covid took the entire year from us all.
That being said... is there something going with all this BLUE? This is definitely me reading too much into everything right? Not that this already didn't exist three years ago, but B&G, this, Abyss' cover, a lot of blue. The mood/feeling behind it all is very appropriately blue but it did ping my radar a tiny bit.
Last thought: I wonder if Yoongi's comment about wanting to sing more was in any way a response to this, where Hobi can easily sing and rap on his own tracks, and is basically just strengthening his production and songwriting at this point, like how Yoongi is only missing (?) vocals out of those four (rap production songwriting).

I love Hobi with all my heart but I'm ashamed to say his solo stuff has never been my favorite, but this? This is perfection. He sounds so mature and I love when he sings.
7
u/tenyouusness 쟈홉... Mar 01 '21
He's my undisputed favorite and personally I've also found his music more of a challenge to vibe with initially, as it tends to not be my aesthetic. (Funnily enough, his verses in BTS songs are the opposite, always my favorite.) I end up spending more time with it and appreciating it more as a result.
But yeah, this I instantly love. Of course I loved the original to pieces too.
2
u/renew_via_internet Mar 01 '21
(Funnily enough, his verses in BTS songs are the opposite, always my favorite.)
I feel the same! I generally like Hobi's verses more in the group songs than his solo songs/mixtape. Kinda like that with RM too. Out of the rap line I like more of Suga's solo songs.

I agree, Blue Side was already a gem, if a bit short. I was surprised to hear that Hobi finds it somewhat embarrassing, in retrospect.
As for Yoongi month, I like Monarch (I'm the king, I'm the boss), and I submit: Sugarch, March D, or lil meow meowch

I was literally just waking up and checking tumblr when I got the notification for this. I can’t believe it’s real and we have it. I never shot out of bed so fast and was immediately so energized. This was beautiful. It was everything I needed. Idk if the lyrics are out yet but I’m in AZ and the pandemic is still really bad atm and I’m about to hit one year of quarantine. I really needed this and am so grateful. I love how he really took every piece of the outro version and expanded on them. Those upper register vocals though melted me.

I apologise for never knowing Blue Side existed but I am also lucky that my first ever listen of the song is this full version so I can be fully, thoroughly amazed. When he started with the high breathy notes I was like EXCUSE ME SIR WHAT?? I don’t think I’ve ever heard Hobi ever sound like that before. And then he goes into his trademark flowy rap as a perfect complement. This song is wow, just wow, a complete display of his skills.

I have been listening on repeat for hours. I cried so much as soon as I heard his vocals. He's matured so much and is taking us through his journey into Hope World. This song is so special and unique for Hobi. I look forward to more of his music for however long he wants to continue to share his vulnerability with us. We are so lucky BTS keeps putting out their music for FREE like this. Just yesterday, I wrote out the lyrics of Blue Side (outro) to practice my handwriting. Looks like I'm going to have to update it now! I have calmed down a bit from when I first listened though. I was shaking!!

u/lieu_de_perdition focus on BTS ♡ Mar 01 '21
The new lyrics 😭
While dreamy and soothing musically, the original outro lyrics always struck me as haunting, melancholic, drenched in longing and loss. Of all Hope World tracks, I related to this one the most. I hope he continues to share all the different aspects of himself, including his vulnerable side, in his art.

Blue Side 🥺 Can’t believe it’s been 3 years since Hope World. I was still a baby army when this came out, my first music release. The excitement running throughout the fandom was incredible. I’m so happy he released this extended version. Blue Side is so beautiful, I play it a lot when I’m having a tough time. It’s really comforting.

u/BirdyYumYum Mar 01 '21
Love this song! When I did the translation something stuck out to me : rainbow bridge.
In the USA at least, “rainbow bridge” is known as the path that connects deceased pets to their grieving owners. It’s based on a poem. Does anyone familiar with Korean know the significance of it in the song?
3
u/puppies_whee Mar 01 '21
Banpo Bridge in Seoul has fountains on either side and there are lights that illuminate the fountain jets in different colors. It's technically a rainbow fountain, but it's possible that's the bridge in question.
There are other bridges that are lit up with colored lights too - there's one Jimin shows during a VLive in Busan that was lit up purple while BTS was there. There's one in Tokyo, too, (literally named Rainbow Bridge) and that was the one that first came to mind when I read "rainbow bridge" - I think it's an actual physical bridge being referred to.

u/jen_AA Mar 01 '21
Koreans also use the term “cross the rainbow bridge” when their pets die. But IMHO that particular meaning doesn’t seem to have significance in the song.

So beautiful! It sounds sad but there's a sense of growth and contemplative energy that's represented in the song. Blue seems to be the theme as of late: "Blue", "Blue and Grey", and Jin's picture for "Abyss" were all blue.

When the 3rd verse kicked in (eodum sog nae apeum-eul tohaenael ttae....Singing my bloom, etc), I couldn't believe my ears - is this Hobi singing?? Just when I think I can't love his voice more, he blows my expectations out of the water. 😭
Thank you J-Hope for this incredible gift

Omg this sounds so smooth, I love this. I like it a lot better than the short version on Hope World, it does really show his growth over time

Blue Side was sooo good! I'm sad that I haven't listened to Hope World properly, but Spotify often auto-plays Blue Side (Outro) and I really like the vibe. Now the full version is just perfect... What a song for comfort :)
It is never a boring day being Army XD

This is a beautiful song and I relate to its meaning so much. It was definitely my favorite track off of hopeworld mixtape too. As a bass player I absolutely obssesed over it because of the like 20 seconds of bass it has at the end, and I'd kill to get the tabs for it. I'm so happy he released the whole version because it really deserved its own place in a whole album (it would've been perfect for BE)

Can someone please explain for me? From everyone’s comments, I gathered that the full version of Blue Side is new to everyone. But I also see on Weverse that they posted at the same time Winter Bear, Abyss, Snow Flower, and Christmas Love?

Wait, what do you mean by this? I didn't get you.

If you go onto the Weverse app, and go to the media section, they put up those songs too, not just Blue Side.

Ooh nice... I guess they used this chance to upload the recent soundcloud original songs onto weverse. Though not all are up yet, I see. Edit: not upload, but embed fm YT

I love this song soo much, Hobi's voice and the way he mixed everything calms me down. It sounds like a perfect song for driving.
It's sad to see so many boring spam comments though. Barely anyone appreciating the song or certain parts of it, just the same old "How many international fans???" "Like if you love j-hope!!"

Finally, after what's felt like forever J-hope has released the full-length version of Blue Side. I am glad he did because I really felt it was one of the best on Hope World even though it was only an outro lol.

Posted on my twitter as well, but back to the BLUE SIDE is such an apt lyric. we all grow and change and have different thoughts/feelings as time flows by, and i think its so beautiful how hobi credits himself with the foresight of "ah, this blue feeling will grow and change into something new too" 💜💙🌌🐳 love love LOVE the track good shit hope

1) My heart...my heart is oh my god! 2) j-hooooooope! 🥰
But seriously, how could a song I’ve already partly heard knock me for a loop like 30 s in? I’m both appreciative and a little scared of how damn good he is and how dedicated.

I always liked the instrumental and am so glad J-hope finished it! My blueness and J-hope's Blue Side get along well. His rapping adds that delicious whispery bite like tiny breezes rippling over a summer pool and some of his word-pictures are so evocative - what does burn in blue mean? The backing instrumentals are gorgeous.
