Stray Kids does a LOT of wordplay, but you really need to understand the language fluently to realise just how much they play. Your questions about Deep End - yes, it's all Felix, and yes he has an amazing range. In fact, the final high falsetto of Taste is actually Felix but the person that did the lyric video attributed it to Hyunjin mistakenly.
So this isn’t even scratching the surface of how deep it goes with stray kids. I’d definitely check out Bangchan’s I hate to admit, Changbin’s Streetlight , and Han’s Alien for more solos. There are also songs like Mirror, My Pace, Levanter, Waiting for Us, Cover Me, Blind Spot, Grow Up… then also songs like #lovestay, Haven, You can stay, Gone Days, Spread my Wings, Hellevator, Insomnia, Social Path, etc etc.
what I love about Deep End is Felix wanted it to have an ASMR feel so it’s such a treat to listen to it with good headphones and get the full feel of the song. Felix’s voice is like the only voice that gives me that spine tingling ASMR effect as well it’s so wild lol
No Hyunjin is not lead singer...that would be Seungmin...but all eight are singers. Taste has no mv but has a performance video that is definitely worth a watch. Chan and Hyunjin are referring to their obsession with their work and how they have a problem with perfectionism to their detriment. Yes that is all Felix in Deep End.
Stray kids have such a variety of music. As has been said, they lyrically have many double meanings…this song is actually about the obsession of work and the music studio, Chang laptop! 😊
More of what 3Racha does... well that would be the entire Stray Kids discography 😅 there are a few songs 3Racha doesnt have a hand in like Deep End... Felix wrote that one and helped produce it w someone else. Hyunjin and Bang Chan (1/3 of 3Racha) wrote and produced Red Lights Hyunjin, Felix and Lee Know wrote Taste together. Bang Chan helped them produce it. All of the members have helped produce or write songs at some point but yes 3RACHA are the main producers and lyricists of the group. They do have a lot of behind the scenes of them working in the studio, always fun to watch them work. Im honestly surprised they get any work done sometimes 😂
Do you want to see Stray Kids producing and brainstorming ideas for their music?? They have plenty of videos about that. 3Racha made Vlives where they make a song from scratch, it´s soooo good and funny at the same time. Plus I will highly recommend watching the episode of Kingdom: Legendary War (Mayfly rap unit) there were members from Stray Kids, Ateez, and BtoB making a song together, and the process is incredible!! Lastly, in the show Holw in Harmony, they divided themselves into 3 groups to produce a new song with 3 different concepts -sexy (Bang Chan & Hyunjin with Red LIgths), -Summer vibe (Felix, Lee Know, and Changbin with Surffin), and - Balad (Seugmin, Han, and I.N. with Gone Away). Together they decided on the concept, lyrics, melody, and even the concept for the video. All the episodes are fun and very interesting to watch!! By this time, all of the members are writing and producing their own songs but nothing compared to 3Racha, although they´re getting better and better, Taste was written by DanceRacha and Felix wrote Deep End himself!! Stray Kids is a creative and versatile group, I´m sure you will get inspired by their passion for music!! Good luck and greetings from Mexico!! Hope to see more of your reactions to Stray Kids!! 🤗
@@ichoosemeimsorry It´s called "Can´t live without Changbin" and Bang Chan made one called Kkulchong EDM song (a request from Lee Know). You´re going to laugh so much!! 🤪😁🤣🤣🤣
Yes. That's Felix. Please react to Felix voice duality it's awesome.... GQ Magazine interviewed: Felix said he got his deep voice from his father. Felix said his father have a very low deep voice. Felix said when he was 13, he woke up one morning with a deep voice. Felix thought he was sick. He asked his mother was he sick, she said no you're going through puberty. There's a live dance "DANCERACHSA TASTE" Performance with Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix.
Wow, thank you for this! Yep, the Red Lights and Taste drops are a chef's kiss. "Deep End" broke a lot of people, it's so strange, the problem is not only the range, Felix sounds different, like a different person, at least to me.. I'm not a musician at all. “Cover Me” is a song where everyone is just singing. It's definitely worth a listen. Also, this is Hyunjin's song (with Chan's help) - he wrote the lyrics, composed it, and was the director during the recording, well he was busy, so part of it was directed by Chan with Hyunjin's instructions lol.
It's more than just "Bang Chan's help" the official KOMCA credits list BOTH as lyricists, BOTH as composers (along with Nickko Young), and Chan as arranger (along with Nickko Young). I know Chan's super humble and likes to give all credit away, but he is officially listed in all roles.
I honestly love how his voice has so much more warmth in a higher register. But yeah it is unusual to just completely change the colour of your voice. Amazing
Haha you've dived in some of their sexy songs. They have many deep songs, you'll find some good lists here in the comments, would definitely do scars (first take), Cover me, han - alien, chanbin - streetlight. Hyunjin is actually part of the rap and dance line. But honestly all 8 can rap and sing. Seungmin is the main vocalist. It's all felix in the song, he stacked his own vocals, it's so fun
So the CD I think you should listen to is MAXIDENT. That was the 1st CD of theirs I bought, and I didn't know how good it was until about a month ago. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE every song on the CD. That CD has 3 Racha, Taste, and Can't Stop, which is by Seung-min and IN. It also has CHILL, which is my 2nd favorite song.
If you want to see some of their thought process they did a series of 5 short episodes called Howl in Harmony song camp it covers red lights and two other songs also they have a recording behind the scenes for Megaverse and cover me. There are so many more that cover some of their journey both music production and filming. Thank you love your reaction
I keep rewatching the recording session of Megaverse/Cover Me. How detailed the producers can be is amazing, while being fun at the same time. Isaac, please watch this and then watch the mv of Megaverse and the color coded video of Cover Me (there is no mv) to hear what it sounds like when finished. The beat and rap in Megaverse is great and Cover Me is so beautiful it has become my favorite song.
Stray kids does something called album intros where they explain every song in their album and what they were inspired by, what the songs about, and part of how they produced it. I think you might really enjoy the behind the scenes knowledge, idk what ur favorite Skz album is but I’d look up the album intro for it
Been patiently awaiting your return to SKZ and it did not disappoint! Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix are actually part of "DanceRacha", but truly any of them can do anything. Sing, dance, rap, write and many are now composing as well. I suggest you look at "Cover Me" that Hyunjin wrote and composed with Bang Chan. For 3RACHA, they have a lyric video for their song "3Racha" that is great. They predate SKZ actually, and you'll find many 3Racha tracks that sound familiar, because they've repurposed some of them into SKZ tracks.
These guys are insanely talented. I'm sure it was said but Red Lights was produced by Chan and Hyunjin, Taste is a Chan track with Hyunjin writing most and Lee Know and Felix contributing too. Deep End was written by Felix. There albums all have intro videos where the guys describe the songs and typically those videos show some behind the scenes. There is content called "Howl in Harmony" and they break into three groups and show a little bit of insight into them writing a song and producing the videos. One of the songs is Red Lights. You can see their personalities too.
Yeah man we're here for stray kids!! And yes they ARE a very dynamic group. The 7 years of training that bang chan (the leader) had to go through like non other, really paid off! That man is a production genius with the other 2 members of course (Changbin & Han). It would be great if you first react to one of their albums 5-Star or Rockstar and then react to their recording process. Those episodes are sooo good.
Hyunjin and Bang Chan co-wrote Red Lights, you can see some of the process in their mini-series Camp Howl in Harmony (following three sub-units from writing to recording to video production of three different songs. Gone Away from that series, by the two main vocalists and Han, who functions equally as a rapper or vocalist, is also pretty good). Hyunjin wrote Taste and Chan produced it. Felix wrote Deep End, it is one of the few Stray Kids releases not produced by 3Racha, each member wrote a solo to be included on the album Replay, and the non-3Racha all had one that used only outside producers. It helps to look at the color coded lyrics videos for their harder songs as well. They do a lot of wordplay, making puns and references across both English and Korean, and even non Korean speakers can pick some of those up by tracking the sounds from the Romanized Korean to the meanings, and then seeing the English sounds that follow.. When you start noticing those things, some of the lyrics take on a lot of depth. They also reference a lot of Korean legends, folktales, and sayings. You can track some of these in the better lyrics videos. When you start looking, the multiple meanings bring a lot of resonance across the length of a song. I'd also recommend Scars and Sorry I Love You (in the First Take series, the lyrics are in white on a light background, but still mostly readable, and it's a great performance), Winter Falls, Lonely Street. Venom shares some of the themes from Taste regarding obsession/addictive love, the idea that being trapped in the addiction is often a choice we make ourselves. Levanter was made when they were having a hard time, after one of the original members left suddenly. And Cover Me is great.
I personally think SKZ has the most profound discography of any K-Pop group. They were given creative control of their music when they were teenagers and many of their early songs dealt with the nostalgia and confusion of becoming adults, and the hardships and struggles of being idols. Even more current songs still talk about the less glamorous aspects of their fame that people don't see. Social Path from Chan's own experiences and Blind Spot are good examples of those. And then, there are also the songs like Thunderous and Cheese, responding to insults thrown at them. I saw a show where Changbin said that their early discography was about everything they were thinking about and feeling at the time, and it is clear to see through their lyrics. SKZ had to endure a lot after their debut. They created a new sound, the Mala Taste Genre and, like many other genres of music in the past, a lot of people resisted it and criticized it but, in spite of that, they also eventually rose to fame so, for both reasons, they have had to endure more unprecedented hatred during their carrier than any other group in the history of K-Pop. As a result, they have never shied away from tackling themes like depression, loneliness, insomnia, and alienation. Now, when you listen to references to being the first and the best in some of their newer songs, especially title tracks, it's a reminder to people that, regardless of whether any other groups imitate it, it's the style they created, perfected, and suffered for. I think they have earned the right to brag. medium.com/outro-words/cookin-up-a-new-sound-stray-kids-and-the-mala-taste-genre-a8e4e8427bcc
Winter falls is a beautiful, deep in emotions with the amazing cinemagraphy. It's a masterpiece. Its about coping with a break up. To be real, i cried to this song several hundred times. This song gives me so much comfort. I love skz🖤 they saved me from severe depression and anxiety. Their songs, silly moments, their friendship, their achievements and everything brings me happiness. I love them🖤
Definitely Scars, Cover Me, Leave. Scars MV doesn’t have lyrics so you’ll have to watch that separately but it’s one of my favorites! Never ending story Silent cry Secret secret They have so many songs that have so much meaning and depth!
If you're interested in more of a rap/hip-hop focus from SKZ then I HIGHLY recommend 3Racha (yes there is a song called 3Racha), Muddy Water, and Freeze. If you want more of a ballad/vocal focus then Cover Me has got to be up there for consideration.
In the deep end i would suggest “sorry, i love you”, “secret, secret”, and the response “silent cry”. They are softer in the Sound than taste and red light but really good.
i think you'd absolutely love their song "cover me", as well as the behind the scenes of them in the recording booth for that song. it's so incredibly powerful
cover me, hate to admit it and volcano are also really good lyrical and more vocal songs by them. they also post on their official channel videos of their studio vocal recordings and directing process done by 3racha (mainly chan but han and changbin direct the rap parts and lyrics they wrote) with past released albums if you want to check that out as well
If you are searching for a way to feel joy with music again, I honestly think Stray Kids is an amazing option! These guys love what they're doing and they are really great!
Thankyou so much for reacting to Our StrayKids.! Incredibly Talented, Hard Working and Dedicated Group.!! Proud to be a STAY.! Waiting for more n more StrayKids Reactions.!
Red Lights and Taste are two of my favorites. Love seeing them get love! And, of course, you just can't go wrong with Deep End and Felix's amazing voice.
If you are looking for Stray kids songs with in-depth lyrics I would recommend you check out some of the songs Han released on his own, like Alien or Volanco.
If you are interested in 3racha in particular, I would recommend "Heyday" by them, it's really interesting, as well as "3RACHA" (a song named like that) Also yes, the creative process behind "red lights" is on their channel, it's in the series "howl in harmony", where they also cover the process of creating another songs, " Gone away" which I also recommend personally! 🌟
With Stray Kids songs they pretty much ALL have depth and meaning, even songs which at first glance (or listen) might not seem like it. The first five songs you reacted to are a good example of this, you said they lacked depth so I'll explain the meanings of them for you. 1. S Class - the message here is that even if you're odd or peculiar you can still shine the brightest. Some of Hans rap lyrics: 'be the one to shine instead of chasing what's shiny, that's easier to show off, shine like a diamond K?' Like, do your own thing instead of trying to copy what everyone else is doing. 2. Miroh - Miro means maze in Korean, they added the H on the end to signify heaven or hell depending on the direction you take. So the song is about having confidence and determination and facing challenges head on. And breaking free of society's limitations to find your own path to success. 3. Maniac - is about being your true authentic self instead of putting on a fake facade in order to fit in. Let out your inner maniac. 4. Back Door - they're the ones in control of their music and you're invited to join the party using the passcode given. Alternatively, many believe it's also about sex (read the lyrics!). 5. God's Menu - the kitchen scene is them cooking up their music, they have something for everyone in their menu of songs. The construction scene signifies that they construct their own music but also references the haters calling their music noisy or 'construction music'. The race track is referencing the intense competition within the KPop industry as well as the fact that they are on their own track/path to success, running their own race. The ones in the lab coats are them being experimental with their musical concoctions.
Red Lights is one of my faves and I also think it's a great example of how a piece of art can change during a process. Hyunjin talks about how he wrote it as a metaphor with his own battle of pushing himself too hard, of working so hard to strive for the illusion of perfection. Hence the images of red lights as a warning and staying up all night. Then he worked together with Bang Chan and the sound of the song got this grittier feel, adding to this feeling of being caught up in a toxic pattern and /or relationship. Then in they worked with this music director who is a gay man and known for making these really cool videoes and movies with a lot of queer themes, and this director then took the themes of a toxic relationship and brought it up as the main theme visually in the video And yes, Felix's range is so wild to me. He doesn't just have a wide range vocally, high and low notes, but to me he's able to sing in different ways and with different flavours, making it sound like it's not from the same person :D
i don’t see enough people recommending silent cry (personally one of my favourites) it’s one of those songs with sad lyrics but pretty upbeat instrumentals, the production is phenomenal
Stray Kids have the widest range of music genres and Chan is a genius for making tracks along with Han and Changbin. They have been putting more behind the scenes in the recording process videos during an album release. Yes that’s ALL FELIX in Deep End.☺️ he works so hard on his range. The boys did a SKZ code called Howling in harmony that kind of explains the thoughts behind Red Lights, Surfin and Gone Away if you wanted to check that out it’s pretty good.
the story behind Redlights is how Chan cant stop writing and producing and making music for the fandom (stay) to show them how much they love us. Hyunjin is how he cant stop dancing and practicing for the same reason. and the line "moment when I close my eyes all I see is red lights" is refering to the Redlights of a recording studio. (At leas this is from my understanding correct me if im wrong!!! newbie stay here) Its also my favorite song ever now not just from them haha
ooh i totally recomend the behind the scenes in the music production of the albums. I think there´s video for the album Five Star and Rock Star. This ones are perfect if what you want to know more about how the music is made (This are mostly of the recording sessions and how 3RACHA direct them base in the way they composed the songs).
I enjoyed the Video :) I think you should react to kingdom:legendary war the skz performances some that I really liked are the cover of I’ll be your man (BTOB) and also Gods ddu ddu ddu (BlackPink) they really did a great job and Han the rapper shows his vocal skills that are really amazing. There was also an episode where only the vocals of each team did a performance I would recommend the cover of love poem (IU) by the vocals of skz,BTOB and ateez. Hope you’ll react to them 😊
Blind spot is my favorite song on the Rock Star album. There is a video from a concert of Changbin, Hyun-jin, Han, and Felix singing Waiting for Us instead of Bangchan, Leeknow, Seung-min, and IN. It is so beautiful. I did not know that Changbin and Han had that kind of range. I almost cried when I heard it the first time.
When the new album ATE comes out july 19th you should give the number Stray Kids a listen and you'll know Felix's range as he sings in a higher tone. It also has a seriously deep meaning connected with their journey from before the debut and all the way to their current succes plus several older numbers and their music videos
God I cannot wait to watch you watch the behind the scenes when they produce! They have so many videos where they show the whole recording process! Subscribed and eager to hear your thoughts!
I would love to see you react to their recording process, there's so much actually but the most recent ones are 5 star and rockstar, you can react to the whole album then the recording part These 2 albums have two parts, one is for their intro and second is given as a gift to stay
I just found these guys like few days ago and i'm already head over heels in love. Fun to watch your reactions and be like 🤯 "together" and ESPECIALLY about Felix voice range👌
I love how you picked two of the sexiest songs they have haha. I would recommend Secret Secret, Sorry I Love You, Scars, Cover Me, and Gone Away if you want to keep diving into their deep end!
They have the clips talk about their inspiration to make red light (and other songs in the series) . The clips's series call "[SKZ SONG CAMP] HOWL IN HARMONY" Total 5 clips for the red lights is ep.3/ep.5
Hyunjin is an all-rounder artist. He is a great rapper and vocalist, and the best dancer of his gen. He can write beautiful songs like Red Lights and Taste. I recommend his Cover Me as well. If you are interested in their dancing performance, I recommend Hyunjin's Motley Crew and self-choreographed Play with Fire.
I heard that Red Lights also refers to the red lights in the studio and their compulsion to always be in the studio and not being able to stay away - not sure if that's accurate, but it makes sense
On Taste, their dance performance to it is so good! Dance racha at their finest😊 "Lonely St." And "Social Path" if you haven't listened to those, they're good. They make me tear up😢
Hyunjin, leeknow, Felix- lead dancers known as dancerracha bangchan,changbin,han- Lead singers known as 3racha seungmin, i.n- Lead vocalists known as vocalracha
Hyunjin actually once said that Taste was inspired by Red Lights; he wanted Taste to be like a "Blue Lights" vibe. And I honestly see it. The performance videos are a great visual; they did cut a verse, though. THIRD EYE gives me Taste vibes. old school jazz/hiphop you would like MUDDY WATER COVER ME, emotional calm song you will like the production of ITEM you might like CHILL Hardcore rock vibes, CHEESE Taste vibes, SILENT CRY, interesting production soft sad, WINTER FALLS
Deep end really surprised me with that voice of felix because i also thought it was a different person because he sings in a deep voice so i was confused ❤but he is an angle indeed 😊
long for you by hyunjin also has very beautiful lyrics, and he wrote it himself. it's become one of my favorite songs because of how beautiful it is. stray kids has so many great songs with deep lyrics.
I never listened to KPop until the Stray Kids. I love the fact they are self produced and write their music. Each member is so talented and as a group they are amazing.
Taste and Red Lights (with Chan) are Hyunjin's lyrics. Try Hyunjin's other songs written by him -DLMLU and Cover Me. His lyrics are always interesting and so deep. Very artistic.
if you need something deep I'd rcm 'Secret Secret' and then 'Silent Cry'. And if you're interest in the production process of their albums, you should watch the albums' 'Intro' where they talk about that album and the recording sections.
Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids! They are simply amazing all the way around. Every single one of them are extremely talented. If you want to see taste performed live, look up that video and check out the dance they do. It’s wild! Please react to stray kids again and the stays will be back!
"Scars" and "cover me" are also really beautiful and deep songs, highly recommend both
Cover Me always gives me chills.
Yeaa fr i love those
Second this
Yesss please
The way I love and am also broken by Scars... ugh

Dont forget about a Hyunjins solos,
Yeah, it totally sounds like 3 people singing on Deep End, but it's just Felix, and the way he harmonizes with himself... gorgeous.
Из-за Вашего комментария. я вдруг задумался, что песня же о расставании но , в итоге, теперь,он в гармонии со своими "голосами", со своими Я
I love his voice on this song! I wish he would do more like this.
So how does he perform Deep end live? Do the other members cover the multiple harmonies?
@@ishajac3637 backup track probably, thats whats most commonly used for harmonies
Red Lights concept overcoming/fighting your inner demons and the compulsion to be perfect in all aspects of your life.

Please do a reaction video to the Taste live performance. I screamed when the crowd was screaming. You’ll understand when you see the choreo 😂
Red lights is a reference to the red record light.
Seungmin is the main vocal tho, Jeongin is the lead
BTW: The last falsetto in TASTE was Felix. That vid had some of the voices wrong.
I can’t 😂 that’s crazy
Stray kids have such a variety of music. As has been said, they lyrically have many double meanings…this song is actually about the obsession of work and the music studio, Chang laptop! 😊
NOTHING BUT FELIX!!
More of what 3Racha does... well that would be the entire Stray Kids discography 😅 there are a few songs 3Racha doesnt have a hand in like Deep End... Felix wrote that one and helped produce it w someone else.
Hyunjin and Bang Chan (1/3 of 3Racha) wrote and produced Red Lights
Hyunjin, Felix and Lee Know wrote Taste together. Bang Chan helped them produce it.
All of the members have helped produce or write songs at some point but yes 3RACHA are the main producers and lyricists of the group.
They do have a lot of behind the scenes of them working in the studio, always fun to watch them work. Im honestly surprised they get any work done sometimes 😂

Sing, dance, rap, write and many are now composing as well. I suggest you look at "Cover Me" that Hyunjin wrote and composed with Bang Chan.
For 3RACHA, they have a lyric video for their song "3Racha" that is great. They predate SKZ actually, and you'll find many 3Racha tracks that sound familiar, because they've repurposed some of them into SKZ tracks.
These guys are insanely talented. I'm sure it was said but Red Lights was produced by Chan and Hyunjin, Taste is a Chan track with Hyunjin writing most and Lee Know and Felix contributing too. Deep End was written by Felix. There albums all have intro videos where the guys describe the songs and typically those videos show some behind the scenes. There is content called "Howl in Harmony" and they break into three groups and show a little bit of insight into them writing a song and producing the videos. One of the songs is Red Lights. You can see their personalities too.
Yeah man we're here for stray kids!! And yes they ARE a very dynamic group. The 7 years of training that bang chan (the leader) had to go through like non other, really paid off! That man is a production genius with the other 2 members of course (Changbin & Han). It would be great if you first react to one of their albums 5-Star or Rockstar and then react to their recording process. Those episodes are sooo good.
Hyunjin and Bang Chan co-wrote Red Lights, you can see some of the process in their mini-series Camp Howl in Harmony (following three sub-units from writing to recording to video production of three different songs. Gone Away from that series, by the two main vocalists and Han, who functions equally as a rapper or vocalist, is also pretty good). Hyunjin wrote Taste and Chan produced it. Felix wrote Deep End, it is one of the few Stray Kids releases not produced by 3Racha, each member wrote a solo to be included on the album Replay, and the non-3Racha all had one that used only outside producers.
It helps to look at the color coded lyrics videos for their harder songs as well. They do a lot of wordplay, making puns and references across both English and Korean, and even non Korean speakers can pick some of those up by tracking the sounds from the Romanized Korean to the meanings, and then seeing the English sounds that follow.. When you start noticing those things, some of the lyrics take on a lot of depth. They also reference a lot of Korean legends, folktales, and sayings. You can track some of these in the better lyrics videos. When you start looking, the multiple meanings bring a lot of resonance across the length of a song.
I'd also recommend Scars and Sorry I Love You (in the First Take series, the lyrics are in white on a light background, but still mostly readable, and it's a great performance), Winter Falls, Lonely Street. Venom shares some of the themes from Taste regarding obsession/addictive love, the idea that being trapped in the addiction is often a choice we make ourselves. Levanter was made when they were having a hard time, after one of the original members left suddenly. And Cover Me is great.
I personally think SKZ has the most profound discography of any K-Pop group. They were given creative control of their music when they were teenagers and many of their early songs dealt with the nostalgia and confusion of becoming adults, and the hardships and struggles of being idols. Even more current songs still talk about the less glamorous aspects of their fame that people don't see. Social Path from Chan's own experiences and Blind Spot are good examples of those.
And then, there are also the songs like Thunderous and Cheese, responding to insults thrown at them.
I saw a show where Changbin said that their early discography was about everything they were thinking about and feeling at the time, and it is clear to see through their lyrics.
SKZ had to endure a lot after their debut. They created a new sound, the Mala Taste Genre and, like many other genres of music in the past, a lot of people resisted it and criticized it but, in spite of that, they also eventually rose to fame so, for both reasons, they have had to endure more unprecedented hatred during their carrier than any other group in the history of K-Pop. As a result, they have never shied away from tackling themes like depression, loneliness, insomnia, and alienation.
Now, when you listen to references to being the first and the best in some of their newer songs, especially title tracks, it's a reminder to people that, regardless of whether any other groups imitate it, it's the style they created, perfected, and suffered for. I think they have earned the right to brag.

Winter falls is a beautiful, deep in emotions with the amazing cinemagraphy. It's a masterpiece. Its about coping with a break up. To be real, i cried to this song several hundred times. This song gives me so much comfort. I love skz🖤 they saved me from severe depression and anxiety. Their songs, silly moments, their friendship, their achievements and everything brings me happiness. I love them🖤
oh my gosh finally somebody who understands the meaning of this song ❤ it’s so sad but beautiful at the same time that I can’t help but cry every time
Definitely Scars, Cover Me, Leave.
Scars MV doesn’t have lyrics so you’ll have to watch that separately but it’s one of my favorites!
Never ending story
Silent cry
Secret secret
They have so many songs that have so much meaning and depth!
If you're interested in more of a rap/hip-hop focus from SKZ then I HIGHLY recommend 3Racha (yes there is a song called 3Racha), Muddy Water, and Freeze. If you want more of a ballad/vocal focus then Cover Me has got to be up there for consideration.
Freeze! Yes! 🔥🔥🔥
Lots of fun clips on YT of Felix having a really low voice and an extremely high voice! Really entertaining watching the vocal range clips of Felix!
OUR INCREDIBLE SÍNGER
FELIX HE IS THE BEST
POWERFULL VOICE⭐🤴💛🌟🔥🔥
Waiting for the 3racha reaction ❤ great video
Love your Stray Kids reactions. Can’t wait to see more!
Limbo from Lee Know is amazing as well
Yes! Limbo really is so amazing!!
In the deep end i would suggest “sorry, i love you”, “secret, secret”, and the response “silent cry”. They are softer in the Sound than taste and red light but really good.
i think you'd absolutely love their song "cover me", as well as the behind the scenes of them in the recording booth for that song. it's so incredibly powerful
cover me, hate to admit it and volcano are also really good lyrical and more vocal songs by them.
they also post on their official channel videos of their studio vocal recordings and directing process done by 3racha (mainly chan but han and changbin direct the rap parts and lyrics they wrote) with past released albums if you want to check that out as well
If you are searching for a way to feel joy with music again, I honestly think Stray Kids is an amazing option!
These guys love what they're doing and they are really great!
Been waiting for this 😅
Woo! I really love Skz, it's been a ton of fun :)
Us stays really appreciate such love and respect for them thank you
Felix is amazing, his voice...!He's the cherry on top of the amazing Stray Kids cake .
Thankyou so much for reacting to Our StrayKids.! Incredibly Talented, Hard Working and Dedicated Group.!! Proud to be a STAY.! Waiting for more n more StrayKids Reactions.!
Hang on bc they get better! Even their performances are so good, leaves me breathless! They are amazing! ❤❤❤
Deep End hits so different. I love Felix’s range and how raw the lyrics are
VOICES!! Has a music video. The lyrics are incredible
Red Lights is about their obsession with work.
Red Lights and Taste are two of my favorites. Love seeing them get love! And, of course, you just can't go wrong with Deep End and Felix's amazing voice.
Felix does have crazy range! He is so under rated! Glad you gave him a deeper listen and some love! More SKZ please!!!
Yea Stray Kids are amazing and extremely talented. Looking forward to more Stray Kids reactions. Subscribed!
Felix's voice🥺🫠❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Slump" and "Sorry for loving you" and "Streelights" are deep too
Las letras de Changbin pegan ❤
If you are looking for Stray kids songs with in-depth lyrics I would recommend you check out some of the songs Han released on his own, like Alien or Volanco.
And the performace that they did by redoing "i'll be your man" is absolutely crazy too
Changbin's Streetlight is beautiful.
Thank you SO MUCH for suggesting Changbin's Streetlight. It's such a beautifully deep song but it doesn't get appreciated as much as it deserves.
@@joyddha986 I agree 100%
If you are interested in 3racha in particular, I would recommend "Heyday" by them, it's really interesting, as well as "3RACHA" (a song named like that)
Also yes, the creative process behind "red lights" is on their channel, it's in the series "howl in harmony", where they also cover the process of creating another songs, " Gone away" which I also recommend personally! 🌟
I enjoyed your first reaction to skz and i was waiting for your second one for 3 month
Thank youu
sorry it took so long!
With Stray Kids songs they pretty much ALL have depth and meaning, even songs which at first glance (or listen) might not seem like it. The first five songs you reacted to are a good example of this, you said they lacked depth so I'll explain the meanings of them for you.
1. S Class - the message here is that even if you're odd or peculiar you can still shine the brightest. Some of Hans rap lyrics: 'be the one to shine instead of chasing what's shiny, that's easier to show off, shine like a diamond K?' Like, do your own thing instead of trying to copy what everyone else is doing.
2. Miroh - Miro means maze in Korean, they added the H on the end to signify heaven or hell depending on the direction you take. So the song is about having confidence and determination and facing challenges head on. And breaking free of society's limitations to find your own path to success.
3. Maniac - is about being your true authentic self instead of putting on a fake facade in order to fit in. Let out your inner maniac.
4. Back Door - they're the ones in control of their music and you're invited to join the party using the passcode given. Alternatively, many believe it's also about sex (read the lyrics!).
5. God's Menu - the kitchen scene is them cooking up their music, they have something for everyone in their menu of songs. The construction scene signifies that they construct their own music but also references the haters calling their music noisy or 'construction music'. The race track is referencing the intense competition within the KPop industry as well as the fact that they are on their own track/path to success, running their own race. The ones in the lab coats are them being experimental with their musical concoctions.
Red Lights is one of my faves and I also think it's a great example of how a piece of art can change during a process. Hyunjin talks about how he wrote it as a metaphor with his own battle of pushing himself too hard, of working so hard to strive for the illusion of perfection. Hence the images of red lights as a warning and staying up all night. Then he worked together with Bang Chan and the sound of the song got this grittier feel, adding to this feeling of being caught up in a toxic pattern and /or relationship. Then in they worked with this music director who is a gay man and known for making these really cool videoes and movies with a lot of queer themes, and this director then took the themes of a toxic relationship and brought it up as the main theme visually in the video
And yes, Felix's range is so wild to me. He doesn't just have a wide range vocally, high and low notes, but to me he's able to sing in different ways and with different flavours, making it sound like it's not from the same person :D
i don’t see enough people recommending silent cry (personally one of my favourites) it’s one of those songs with sad lyrics but pretty upbeat instrumentals, the production is phenomenal
Last frase in TASTE was FELIX!
Right! All the lyric videos get that wrong!
I dont know how "silent cry" wasnt recommended. Hyunjin has "long for you" "cover me" is another huge one. So many you haven't experinced
Have to listen to Secret Secret if listening to Silent Cry, they're a pair ❤
Little star by hyunjin so so underrated. It has deep meaning too. For his dog that expired he made this song.
Stray Kids have the widest range of music genres and Chan is a genius for making tracks along with Han and Changbin. They have been putting more behind the scenes in the recording process videos during an album release. Yes that’s ALL FELIX in Deep End.☺️ he works so hard on his range. The boys did a SKZ code called Howling in harmony that kind of explains the thoughts behind Red Lights, Surfin and Gone Away if you wanted to check that out it’s pretty good.
You would probably die bc of laugh if you watch their song recording,It's literally chaos
the story behind Redlights is how Chan cant stop writing and producing and making music for the fandom (stay) to show them how much they love us. Hyunjin is how he cant stop dancing and practicing for the same reason. and the line "moment when I close my eyes all I see is red lights" is refering to the Redlights of a recording studio.
(At leas this is from my understanding correct me if im wrong!!! newbie stay here) Its also my favorite song ever now not just from them haha
They release the "Intro" of every album, there they explain the songs and the production process. it's worth watching 🙏🏽✨
ooh i totally recomend the behind the scenes in the music production of the albums. I think there´s video for the album Five Star and Rock Star. This ones are perfect if what you want to know more about how the music is made (This are mostly of the recording sessions and how 3RACHA direct them base in the way they composed the songs).
I hope we get some more stray kids🙌🙌🙌 they have such a range of genres in their discography!
I enjoyed the Video :) I think you should react to kingdom:legendary war the skz performances some that I really liked are the cover of I’ll be your man (BTOB) and also Gods ddu ddu ddu (BlackPink) they really did a great job and Han the rapper shows his vocal skills that are really amazing. There was also an episode where only the vocals of each team did a performance I would recommend the cover of love poem (IU) by the vocals of skz,BTOB and ateez.
Hope you’ll react to them 😊
Blind spot is my favorite song on the Rock Star album. There is a video from a concert of Changbin, Hyun-jin, Han, and Felix singing Waiting for Us instead of Bangchan, Leeknow, Seung-min, and IN. It is so beautiful. I did not know that Changbin and Han had that kind of range. I almost cried when I heard it the first time.
Thank you sir Isaac for your reaction to Stray kids, they worked hard, proud of them.
7:01 He's a rapper, but he sing so well, all of them do
When the new album ATE comes out july 19th you should give the number Stray Kids a listen and you'll know Felix's range as he sings in a higher tone. It also has a seriously deep meaning connected with their journey from before the debut and all the way to their current succes plus several older numbers and their music videos
I'm so excited to watch this! ❤
God I cannot wait to watch you watch the behind the scenes when they produce! They have so many videos where they show the whole recording process! Subscribed and eager to hear your thoughts!
I would love to see you react to their recording process, there's so much actually but the most recent ones are 5 star and rockstar, you can react to the whole album then the recording part
These 2 albums have two parts, one is for their intro and second is given as a gift to stay
This
Streetlight by Changbin makes me cry everytime❤
Redlights is about an obsession, that’s why the line say “I cannot leave you alone” ☺
I just found these guys like few days ago and i'm already head over heels in love. Fun to watch your reactions and be like 🤯 "together" and ESPECIALLY about Felix voice range👌
I love how you picked two of the sexiest songs they have haha. I would recommend Secret Secret, Sorry I Love You, Scars, Cover Me, and Gone Away if you want to keep diving into their deep end!
As someone said, you only scratched the surface of what skz is!!! Please, check these out
-Hellevator
-My pace
-Phobia
-Silent Cry
Grow up! This song made me cry a river it's just saaaaauuurrr gooood!!
They have the clips talk about their inspiration to make red light (and other songs in the series) .
The clips's series call "[SKZ SONG CAMP] HOWL IN HARMONY" Total 5 clips for the red lights is ep.3/ep.5
you could have watched the TASTE performance. its fire!
Hyunjin is an all-rounder artist. He is a great rapper and vocalist, and the best dancer of his gen. He can write beautiful songs like Red Lights and Taste. I recommend his Cover Me as well. If you are interested in their dancing performance, I recommend Hyunjin's Motley Crew and self-choreographed Play with Fire.
I heard that Red Lights also refers to the red lights in the studio and their compulsion to always be in the studio and not being able to stay away - not sure if that's accurate, but it makes sense
On Taste, their dance performance to it is so good! Dance racha at their finest😊
"Lonely St." And "Social Path" if you haven't listened to those, they're good. They make me tear up😢
You should check out Levanter and Leave. They’re among the deeper Stray Kids songs, brilliantly well-written and beautiful performed.
Hyunjin, leeknow, Felix- lead dancers known as dancerracha
bangchan,changbin,han- Lead singers known as 3racha
seungmin, i.n- Lead vocalists known as vocalracha
Hyunjin actually once said that Taste was inspired by Red Lights; he wanted Taste to be like a "Blue Lights" vibe. And I honestly see it. The performance videos are a great visual; they did cut a verse, though.
THIRD EYE gives me Taste vibes.
old school jazz/hiphop you would like MUDDY WATER
COVER ME, emotional calm song
you will like the production of ITEM
you might like CHILL
Hardcore rock vibes, CHEESE
Taste vibes, SILENT CRY, interesting production
soft sad, WINTER FALLS
these are my top 3 favorite songs by stray kids that I listen to on repeat! Love it !!!
Deep end really surprised me with that voice of felix because i also thought it was a different person because he sings in a deep voice so i was confused ❤but he is an angle indeed 😊
long for you by hyunjin also has very beautiful lyrics, and he wrote it himself. it's become one of my favorite songs because of how beautiful it is. stray kids has so many great songs with deep lyrics.
I never listened to KPop until the Stray Kids. I love the fact they are self produced and write their music. Each member is so talented and as a group they are amazing.
Love your appreciation for these amazing guys! Hope you find your inspiration bro
Thanks for reaction!
There were my favourite songs!
Me encantó la reacción. Ya quiero ver el análisis a su proceso de producción ✨
More Stray kids content pleaseee
You should do more of them! Hopefully, Stray Kids can give you a reason to love music once more.
Taste and Red Lights (with Chan) are Hyunjin's lyrics. Try Hyunjin's other songs written by him -DLMLU and Cover Me. His lyrics are always interesting and so deep. Very artistic.
if you need something deep I'd rcm 'Secret Secret' and then 'Silent Cry'. And if you're interest in the production process of their albums, you should watch the albums' 'Intro' where they talk about that album and the recording sections.
Oh! You mentioned race cars in the other video, so you should definitely check out Drive. It's totally about driving. Completely. Chan said so.... 🤣
Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids! They are simply amazing all the way around. Every single one of them are extremely talented. If you want to see taste performed live, look up that video and check out the dance they do. It’s wild! Please react to stray kids again and the stays will be back!
I love ppl's raw reactions to Felix's duality it's always so magical like "aw, was I like that?"
