i’m glad joon talked about how he really cares about lyrics and how important it is to read/understand them. i genuinely think everyone should take a trip to doolset’s page and read the lyrics for arirang and their other works
namjoon explaining the meaning and thought process behind each track of arirang i hope he knows how much we love when he does this like i got stars in my eyes tail wagging everything bro i love him BAD
THE LIVES THAT NAMJOON AND BTS HAVE SAVED THANKS TO THEIR LYRICS 😭❤️🩹
🐨: "Actually, I still believe in the power of lyrics... personally, I tend to believe in the power of lyrics. As someone who has lived my life finding salvation in the words and melodies of such artists, I think what I learned while doing a solo career is how to convey a story through sound without necessarily writing it down"
🐨: "I'm not sure about solo work, since everyone is different but I hope that BTS, at least, continues to be a team that conveys stories whether personal or universal, about love or anything else even if they don't pour out every detail in their lyrics. I want to keep this going"
BTS can never be "business only colleagues" They're a family of 7. They could care less about that damned paycheck because they're the happiest only when together
:( The solo tours and Taehyung resigning the label contract just to be with his beloved 6 said it all😭
I cant imagine how much pressure joon was under at that time he was struggling mentally and physically while also seeing all his brothers crying and asking him to keep the group together this man really deserves so much more appreciation for how he handled everything:((
i hope joon knows how millions of people were saved by his lyrics. i’m really not overreating when i say this, the songs really saved many of us bc we resonate with it and it is so therapeutic. without them i would not be where i am today and that is just the truth. ily namjoon.
what gets me is how a lot of people in this fandom were acting like bts were on a vacation in military when there's been multiple instances when they talked about struggling and hearing joon talk about how all of them cried just breaks my heart
namjoon baby i promise you there are still people who care about lyrics. there are still many armys who spend hours and days analyzing your words, chasing the references, mulling over a single syllable. i promise you so, so many of us love bts' music because of your stories.
🐨living as BTS made me question what 'normal' even is for me. one day people say they love me the next they tell me to disappear. people who love us, people who dont keep switching up one day they put u on a pedestal, the next they tear you down.somehow that became my normal
🐨 I think I reached the sad conclusion that people dont really listen to lyrics anymore. so if my words reach anyone I hope they’ll listen to this album one more time and truly pay attention to the stories we’re trying to tell personally,that’s still something I quietly hope for
yall need to realize that we are BLESSED. not every fan can talk about their artist's lyrics, production and craft. seriously. bts is giving us art. in this era of tiktok trends. no matter how much we appreciate it, its NOT ENOUGH.
Anyway, one thing I wanna point out is dont let anyone shame you for streaming/voting.
All of us have lives outside twt we just make 5-10mins time from hours of doomscrolling to vote because we want to.
We'll keep doing it, it makes the boys happy and it makes us happy too 🤷♀️
BTS currently holds the most songs charting on the Global Spotify Top Songs Chart with 13 spots.
— All songs are from their album ‘ARIRANG’, still charting 57 days after release.
i personally feel namjoon doesn't get enough credit for his pen game. in an industry flooded with ghostwriters, where lyricism itself is dead, joon keeps proving why he's one of the greatest songwriters out there. he's a musical genius.
