Hey Andrew! It’s called a Scotch snap because it’s a rhythm that is found primarily in Scottish traditional music. It can be found most often in Strathspeys. It found its way into Afro-Caribbean music, and Black American music (like R&B and Hip Hop) due to the mixing of cultures in the Caribbean due to the slave trade (a lot of Scottish settlers also moved to the Caribbean as indentured servants)…and then it made its way to Korea because of BTS’s love of Hip Hop :-)
Caitlin was in her fan girl vibes and I’m living for it! Also I screamed my head off during the concert to this song. I was just going OH MY MY MY like how could you not?
I'm with Caitlin. They are too adorable. One of the early performances of theirs I watched was Boy with Luv on SNL (and later that performance with Lizzo's Juice overlaid, which is cool). The Korean name of the song is A Poem for Small things and the line that Caitlin picked out from Suga's rap summarizes it well "everything ordinary becomes extraordinary".
An interesting detail. The original title of this song in Korean is “A Poem For Small Things”. I think it refers to all the little details you learn and cherish about someone when you love them (not just romantic love but also in friendship). This was my very first experience of BTS. I watched this video on July 18th 2021 and it’s what started my dive down the rabbit hole. It’s very special to me.
I just thought if a cool assignment for you guys, you can both write down all the small things you love about each other and either share your lists with us, or write a song together about it Caitlin will do lyrics and Andrew music, obviously :)
"With BTS it's always getting deep" Oh Caitlin, how right you are... 😅 Boy WITH Love is linked to Boy IN Love: BIL is about immature teenage love which is more aggressive and focused on their own needs. They want an answer, want to get her but still remain "cool". It seems more competitive too. BWL is when they've matured and become able to express a more selfless love. They want to know her, hear all about her life and learn from and about her. In korean it's even called A Poem For Small Things. HOWEVER if you watch DKDKTVs explanation video made by a korean it's not actually about a girl but about their relationship with ARMY and (as usual) it's packed with references to our joint journey, hence all the album names in the mv. Another thing is that in their *EPIC* MMA 2019 award show they start with Intro: Persona which is about public vs private person and finding yourself, then Boy In Love back-to-back with Boy With Love with the Icarus reference, then Mikrokosmos which is a love song to ARMY and Dionysus incl. remixed bits of songs from their albums. So it's all tied together. They never seize to amaze me.
How I interpret it is "boy in love" is a song about a boy being in love with a girl through which is external "boy with love" is a song where they HAVE love inside and is able to express it not necessarily to a girl, but to life in general
@@mura_saki True, you can also interpret it like that. That's the beauty of music, it can mean different things to different people. DKDKTV includes part of a radio interview where RM talks about the maturity aspect though.
Just before the release of this song all 7 of them went through a severe depression and almost disbanded since they suddenly became sooooo big worldwide and put to be responsible for too many burdens out of their control. But they said finally they chose not to because of the fans who find hope from their music. And this is an ode to their fans in that regard. Also, one of their earlier album name is Wings, which made them slowly started to rise. Whenever they receive some awards they used to say "ARMY you gave us wings to fly" After knowing all these, all the lyrics and the Icarus part sound totally different😢
As is the small dance scene in the park with the lamps. Jin twirls on one of them like Gene Kelly, and it made my fangirl heart squeal even more. Singin' In the Rain is one of my all time favorite movies!
Me too!!! I kept waiting for someone to reference “Singing in the Rain” or “That’s Entertainment”. 1st the couch they jump over, then Gotta Dance with the neon signs and white suit, then the lamp post I believe it’s Jin swings on. I felt bad someone who worked on this is big time into the old movies and most don’t get it so thank you, thank you for the mention. 💜💜💜💜
Boy with Luv is the bookend to Boy in Luv (2014)!! Boy in Luv was almost aggressive and focused mostly on the man's feelings in the relationship whereas Boy with Luv is softer and more about how the other person in the relationship is feeling. They perform them back to back during the MMA 2019 performance, it's so good
I love how Yoongi (looking fine as hell in his blue hair) is dancing across giant piano keys, because he plays piano. Every MV has so many personal touches & symbolism!
I just love how much Caitlin loves BTS the joy and happiness on her face makes my day. My favorite part of the song and video is Suga's rapping, so freaking amazing
I just love Caitlin's reactions...she is down the rabbit hole with us. I wonder how would she react to the more poetic lyrics of the boys. Andrew you always pick up on the smallest details in their music...that's the reason I always wait for ur videos. Thanx for another amazing video. Caitlin is a ball of sunshine.
The channel BySTorm does a scene by scene comparison of this video with the musical Singing in the Rain. Fascinating that both the story being told and the imagery directly relates to that movie.
I’m with Caitlin feeling the need to repeat “I love them” over and over, I do this at least once a day 😁😁 I love how Caitlin’s inner fan girl came out fighting with this song, BTS are really cute and you just can’t help but squeal with this MV. Another great reaction guys. 💜💜💜
I am totally you Caitlin. The joy on your face- same, The saying I Love them 20 times in a row and clenching your heart- same. We all feel that I swear... which is what makes this fandom so unique, amazing, united. . Oh and thanks for the Scotch snap tidbit- so interesting.
Something I always suggest to ppl is to listen to BTS' discography in full and in order at least once. Their tracklists and album arcs are very intentional. The whole picture is absolutely fantastic. The themes run through and evolve along the way. Like you noticed with the Icarus mention, themes, concepts and metaphors are also revisited in the lyrics of multiple songs.
The video itself has references to Singing in the Rain - RM dressed as Jene Kelly and holding an umbrella, the lantern spin, all the old movie signs etc :)
This was the very first song I ever heard from BTS, so it has a special place in my heart! Then, I just wanted to know their names, that's all... I didn't know that I had entered the rabbit hole...💜
LOL that feed the YT algorithm clip was ADORABLE, very appropriate for this reaction 😂 Caitlin's vibes are giving me life, I can't deny it. After j-hope says, "I just wanna keep you safe"... the "aww" face she made 💜 I hope you get to see the alternate version of the MV called the ARMY with Luv version. It is also very fun & cute 🤗 Even in the poppiest BTS song ever, Andrew still finds something to music nerd about -- love it!!! 🎵 This song is a direct response to their old song Boy In Luv. Well, that's the English title! Both songs have Korean titles & English titles: Boy In Luv - "Manly Man" Boy with Luv - "A Poem for the Small Things" Even that difference reveals the contrast between songs, showing maturation of a young man. I highly recommend a short series of videos with a Korean professor, about the layers of the song: Pt. 1 - ua-cam.com/video/8ZBhMFVidZk/v-deo.html Pt. 2 - ua-cam.com/video/H5TEPH0dSsY/v-deo.html Thank you both for the fun video!! CFA
Caitlyns fan girl scream and moments made the video. So. So. So. Relatable. Musical breakdown about the scotch snap is neet! It’s the best catchy pop song that’s actually a wonderful counterpoint to the criticism they got for Boy In Love, which is true growth imo.
This is the first song l ever heard from BTS. Children are school showed me. After hearing and seeing it a few times l was hooked. 3 years later still happily ARMY 😊 💜 Thanks so much for your reactions.
yoongi's lyric about turning ordinaries into extraordinaries is even more cool/impressive with the context that in his hit song "people" from D-2 (2020), the prechorus goes like this: "Your ordinary became my special / Your special became my ordinary / My ordinary became your special / My special became your ordinary".
As Caitlin's bias is RM, you should react to the song Umbrella with RM and Yuiko. It was performed at a duet competition, where celebrities chose individual contestants with whom they would perform a duet. The song RM chose was written and performed by Epic High originally, but the lyrics fit RM's songwriting style perfectly! I would love to see the two of you react to it. Your reactions have been so informative and entertaining that, as soon as I see you've dropped one, I set my wife down and we both enjoy a few minutes with you both. Makes for a good date night. Lol
I just click on the video and I know it’s gonna be a amazing reaction, Caitlin seems really enjoying it and I’m living for it. Thank you and much love to both of you 💜💜
What can i say about this MV besides it has and is full of my favourite colour (ever since i was little) pink, ok im going to start with my bias Jimin his hair OMG and the way he is dancing in this MV just takes my breath away, like the start when he sings “hows your day” it takes me back to when he asked armys on twitter for about a week before this song cane out be kept asking how everyones day has been and it was lovely also im just in love with his little smile he does aswell and then you get the 3 Js aka Jimin, Jungkook and JHope dancing together that also mazed me, then as i said befor RM and JHope were two of my bias wreckers well it was because of this MV and his smile as he rapped that made Yoongi become my third bias wrecker (before D2 came out which was when he became my ultimate bias wrecker) his little gummy smile just pulled at my heart strings,, also when Joonie rapped it was so smooth and so poetic especially with the words he was saying, then there was JHopes and Kookies bit that made me smile so much just seeing those two bounce of each-other made my heart burst with pride, and there is no way im forgetting that tongue action at the start thnx to Tae also im not forgetting Jin his bot made me swoon so badly especially when we had a close up of his very handsome face lol. And finally i cant forget about Halsey herself , you could clearly see the friendship she had with the lads thru out her time on the MV and she even danced and kept up with how fast paced the lads were dancing which kinda surprised me but then seeing her smile and the lads and seeing them have fun made me smile even more than i was already. (Also this is me thinking but to me Halsey represents us army in a way in the MV as we all know how much BTS love us Armys and we love them back equally as much.
If you love Jimin's little smile I'm sure you appreciate the way they smile at each other just enjoying themselves during performances, eg during the SNL live performance of this, or another example: during NY Rockin Eve performance of this when Jimin's jacket got caught on his head (i think they edited the laughing part out of this year's replay on new years eve, or maybe it's only visible in other footage besides the abc broadcast.

LOVE THIS REACTION!😁😁 Caitlin, Fan Girling over BWL, AWESOME! Andrew sliding in The Scottish Snap definition, AWESOMESAUCE! Suga's line of ordinary/extraordinary being pointed out by Caitlin.😊 So cute! Thanks for the smiles you two!😁😁😁😁😁 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yes! My favorite couple! *^_^* As Caitlin said it is a POP song, a good one, and the lyrics are good, not superdeep, but are rooted on the title, which in Korean is A Poem For Small Things. Isn't it real love when someone takes interest in your everyday and loves your small gestures, just going to the supermarket with you or having dinner together? Or how your face focus on reading a passage on a book? The song is sweet and doesn't overdo it imo. ^^ Glad you checked it! Andrew, have you known Caitlin as a fangirl before? (genuinely curious XD) You must be glad and happy she joined you on the no return path down. Ah! Brace yourselves for JK prod SUGA... you know O_O PS. When you start with RUN BTS... you are gonna fall in love with all 7 so so so so even much more. Suggestion: before Run, they had Rookie King (in YT) and AHL (American Hustle Life) - please, I know what you may have heard, but come neutral to it ;) and you'll enjoy it for the good stuff they did while in LA.
I love this, LOL! It's so fun to see you guys enjoying it so much - I hope you react to all the songs from the PTD concert that you don't already know, because there were definitely some gems in that setlist!! For some reason I feel like Caitlin is going to LOVE the "Most Beautiful Moment in Life" era and storyline. Looking forward to the rest of your journey with BTS!
So, the cream on this perfect frothy sorbet of a song and video is actually the Korean title for the song: “A Poem for the Little Things”. The title “Boy with luv” is a “meh” for me, but reading the lyrics thinking that it is a poem for the little things takes this from Cotton candy pop to something transcendental. Tell me that RM isn’t a bard, and I’ll fight you!
Loved seeing you both so happy with this song. This was the MV that actually made me an ARMY but I haven't seen it for a while and made me strangely emotional! Such a happy, pop/american diner vibe, with a touch of "Singing in the Rain" at the end. Glad you both enjoyed it! (good to know what a Scotch snap is too!)
I saw them perform BWL on SNL April 2019 and that was the beginning of my love of BTS. Although I immediately downloaded that song, it actually took a couple years before I went down rabbit hole but here I am loving every minute of it.
This song is soooo catchy! I remembered back when it was released, it's very popular here where I'm from and the radio played it multiple times a day. Which got me curious in them and here I am now! It's been such a journey and I'm glad you all get to join in on the ride~~ 💜💜💜💜
I hope you guys also react to other songs from the concert you weren't familiar with before and are curious about their meanings 😊 I was truly happy for you both you got to go to the concert 💕 I know it's also one of my dreams I hope gets fulfilled 🥰
i'm not the biggest fan of bubblegum pop, but i love BWL! i especially have such good memories from comeback night, when i stayed up to watch the mv as soon as it came out and freak out with all the other ARMYs. the "scotch snap" fact was so cool!
방탄소년단, 굿모닝~~ 아침 일찍 하루 시작을 탄이들 노래로 시작한다...흐믓쓰 우리 탄이들 이 노래로 14억뷰 찍었어 ㅠㅠㅠ 역시 너희들 대견쓰~~ I think music is satisfactory if you just enjoyed it as music. But I can see and know more as much as I know. I was very interested when you figured out all the albums and mentioned Icarus. I'm so happy that I started my first day with this mv of BTS. Thank you so much, you two. always love you.
How the hell did it get to this with you two 🤣🤣. The title if this song in Korean is "a poem of small things". Jimin found the translation in English to be potentially problematic ("small things" may be misconstrued as "unimportant stuffs") so they adopted Boy wif Luv instead, a throwback to "Boy In Luv". Basically the point in the song is that any relationship (including BTS-ARMY) aren't defined by the big things. Small things matters - like asking how is your day. I have made the point previously that in order to appreciate BTS fully we must listen to BTS chronogically and in full albums because of all the common references and threads used acrosd their discography. You caught the wings reference (there are more!). Hope you will do album listens soon!
However, I love how when RM was telling the story of Jimin being concerned, he (RM) reassured ARMY that "since I know Jimin I know that good things come in small packages" (total rephrasing on my part but essentially what he said :D)
I LOVE Caitlin’s reaction!!! So cute to see her fan girling 🥰🥰. There is a really cute behind the scenes video (a Bangtan Bomb I think) of BTS practicing the dance with Halsey for the Grammy’s performance they did of Boy With Luv. Caitlin would probably love it 😍
Ahhhh!!!! that gummy eating challenge is so funny 🤣 Andrew, did you feel called upon with Jin's "come be my teacher" line? 👨🏫 So this is my conotribution to what most of the comments probably are going to tell you, too: there are lots of references to "singing in the rain" in this MV, from the iconic dancing around the lamp-posts, movie posters, yellow stage in a light cone with lots of neon signs, ... That was thoroughly enjoyable to watch you both jamming out to this Bop of a song! Thank you both for doing this one 😁 And also, after your poll yesterday, I am even more excited for what's to come next week 👀 All the best 💜 🥕 CFA
Thank you guys for this 😁 been sick with Covid for the past week and I found your channel today. Have not smile and laughed this much since getting sick! Love the vibes and the sincere love of music. We love having you as ARMY 💜💜
The mini mental breakdown she had, I love it, haha. I understand, I felt that in my ARMY soul, lol. I hope you guys continue to enjoy BTS, love seeing all the things you learn and experience on the journey!
You should take a look at Boy with Love on the The Late Show/ Stephen Colbert-2019. It was done in black and white with Stephen introducing them with his impersonation of Ed Sullivan. (Older folks will remember.) But the singing and dancing was amazing! I know they are always amazing but the little extras they added were great.
@@bt6248 I've seen snippets of that here and there and the choreo/dancing seemed better in the SNL but I'll be able to make an educated determination after i watch the other someday :)
I love when you said that it feels like your favorite romantic comedy! Agreed 💕 one of my favorite lyrics amongst all of their songs is RM’s rap in this song. When he included the Icarus metaphor, I was blown away!
So, Scotch snap is the 16th-dotted 8th combination. Sing a couple phrases of "Comin' thro' the Rye" and you'll get the idea. On another note, Boy with Luv was my gateway drug into BTS, so fun and cleanly sexy, and I immediately began finding multiple versions of it (Colbert/Ed Sullivan and the dance practice are my favorites). I was very confused by the presence of the woman, not knowing the members and also not knowing who or what Halsey was about. I remember being completely captivated by Jimin at first, then slowly learning about and loving each member's special qualities.
I believe you already know that Boy With Love shows the maturing of the guys from Boy In Love. The love they have received from Army has given them wings to fly they love Army in return. Halsey represents Army and if you notice they don’t sexualize her, they are just enjoying being together on this journey. It’s a beautiful relationship much like your beautiful relationship 💜💜💜 fan girl out!! No judgment here 😉
Oh that's cool about Halsey representing ARMY! And I was totally going to do Boy in Luv with this in the same reaction, but I've been busy and next week's video is going to be a big one!
it's a great idea to react to "boy in luv" next! this song basically is a response to that one, and it'll also get you one step closer to watching 2019 MMA, BTS's best performance imo ;)
It is a fun song and beautiful video, and Halsey has become a great friend to BTS. This was one of my first favorite BTS song of the week in my journey. BTS do callbacks to other songs it seems regularly. You will need to check out the BTS Universe Storyline in the BU videos,. There is time travel, Jin is a traveler.

Hey Andrew! It’s called a Scotch snap because it’s a rhythm that is found primarily in Scottish traditional music. It can be found most often in Strathspeys. It found its way into Afro-Caribbean music, and Black American music (like R&B and Hip Hop) due to the mixing of cultures in the Caribbean due to the slave trade (a lot of Scottish settlers also moved to the Caribbean as indentured servants)…and then it made its way to Korea because of BTS’s love of Hip Hop :-)
3:57 " i didn't know the lyrics because i don't speak korean"
Eng Sub be like: Why i am here, just to suffer...
Bts funny moments next with Ur wife
can't wait for those live reactions!
@@AnnieDHarpie fascinating !!!!

Caitlin’s squeals are soo precious 😂💜
Girl, we feel you! They are SO FREAKING ADORABLE in this one, I CANNOT.

Yes its written for army😢😢💜 the icarus part got me.
RM's solo, with all the signs of their album titles, is a direct tribute to the "Gotta Dance" finale in "Singin' in the rain."
😉
Thank you, thought I was the only one who noticed that!

Just wait till you see the historical SNL live performance! And SNL mic drop (dance break 🔥)
Oh that sounds awesome!

I just love how much Caitlin loves BTS the joy and happiness on her face makes my day. My favorite part of the song and video is Suga's rapping, so freaking amazing

Jaja as Caitlin, i have my 'love them, ilove them, ilovethem, I LOVE THEM" moments when i saw them 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the "I'm a writer" moment at 0:58. Yeah girl! Do it!
also love 4:59-5:16. Yep we've all been there!
Something I always suggest to ppl is to listen to BTS' discography in full and in order at least once. Their tracklists and album arcs are very intentional. The whole picture is absolutely fantastic. The themes run through and evolve along the way. Like you noticed with the Icarus mention, themes, concepts and metaphors are also revisited in the lyrics of multiple songs.

And the sofa, and the seaside backdrop...
Please never get rid of the bunnies in the intro. That's the most adorable to me. 💜
This was the very first song I ever heard from BTS, so it has a special place in my heart! Then, I just wanted to know their names, that's all... I didn't know that I had entered the rabbit hole...💜
So cute how much she likes it , pure pop , yeah...
Caitlin encapsulating all ARMY there with a squeal and many "I love them"s x') 💜

Even in the poppiest BTS song ever, Andrew still finds something to music nerd about -- love it!!! 🎵
This song is a direct response to their old song Boy In Luv. Well, that's the English title! Both songs have Korean titles & English titles:
Boy In Luv - "Manly Man"
Boy with Luv - "A Poem for the Small Things"
Even that difference reveals the contrast between songs, showing maturation of a young man.
I highly recommend a short series of videos with a Korean professor, about the layers of the song:
Pt. 1 - ua-cam.com/video/8ZBhMFVidZk/v-deo.html
Pt. 2 - ua-cam.com/video/H5TEPH0dSsY/v-deo.html

My God you go girl friend.Caitlin is such a vibe.
This is the first song l ever heard from BTS. Children are school showed me. After hearing and seeing it a few times l was hooked. 3 years later still happily ARMY 😊 💜 Thanks so much for your reactions.
Historical SNL live performance has LIVE BAND, my fave version! And also SNL version of mic drop (dance break 🔥)
This is the song that brought me into BTS' world. Always has a special place in my heart💜
Caitlin lost in the army-verse is literally so cute 😂
The song which made me noticeBTS in 2019
Love you guys sm💜 Maybe when you watch Army With Love, you guys can bear that in mind that they almost disbanded and wrote this song just for armys😉
yoongi's lyric about turning ordinaries into extraordinaries is even more cool/impressive with the context that in his hit song "people" from D-2 (2020), the prechorus goes like this: "Your ordinary became my special / Your special became my ordinary / My ordinary became your special / My special became your ordinary".

I didn't notice before, but I've looked for it after and it's really cool!
What can i say about this MV besides it has and is full of my favourite colour (ever since i was little) pink, ok im going to start with my bias Jimin his hair OMG and the way he is dancing in this MV just takes my breath away, like the start when he sings “hows your day” it takes me back to when he asked armys on twitter for about a week before this song cane out be kept asking how everyones day has been and it was lovely also im just in love with his little smile he does aswell and then you get the 3 Js aka Jimin, Jungkook and JHope dancing together that also mazed me, then as i said befor RM and JHope were two of my bias wreckers well it was because of this MV and his smile as he rapped that made Yoongi become my third bias wrecker (before D2 came out which was when he became my ultimate bias wrecker) his little gummy smile just pulled at my heart strings,, also when Joonie rapped it was so smooth and so poetic especially with the words he was saying, then there was JHopes and Kookies bit that made me smile so much just seeing those two bounce of each-other made my heart burst with pride, and there is no way im forgetting that tongue action at the start thnx to Tae also im not forgetting Jin his bot made me swoon so badly especially when we had a close up of his very handsome face lol.
And finally i cant forget about Halsey herself , you could clearly see the friendship she had with the lads thru out her time on the MV and she even danced and kept up with how fast paced the lads were dancing which kinda surprised me but then seeing her smile and the lads and seeing them have fun made me smile even more than i was already.
(Also this is me thinking but to me Halsey represents us army in a way in the MV as we all know how much BTS love us Armys and we love them back equally as much.
If you love Jimin's little smile I'm sure you appreciate the way they smile at each other just enjoying themselves during performances, eg during the SNL live performance of this, or another example: during NY Rockin Eve performance of this when Jimin's jacket got caught on his head (i think they edited the laughing part out of this year's replay on new years eve, or maybe it's only visible in other footage besides the abc broadcast.
Caitlin smiles made me smile. i hope you both have a good new year.
Scotch snap? Okay! I learned something new today. Thank you!
I'm glad! I need to learn why it's called that and then I can bring it up again next time I hear it 😀
Hey! It’s called a Scotch snap because it’s a rhythm that is found primarily in Scottish traditional music. It can be found most often in Strathspeys. It found its way into Afro-Caribbean music, and Black American music (like R&B and Hip Hop) due to the mixing of cultures in the Caribbean due to the slave trade (a lot of Scottish settlers also moved to the Caribbean as indentured servants)…and then it made its way to Korea because of BTS’s love of Hip Hop
@@AnnieDHarpie , thank you. Consistent benefits of tumbling down this rabbit hole: entertainment and education.
@Annie Driscoll thanks for the info!!
I'm so happy you guys reacted to this one i knew Caitlin would love it given her boy band history :)))
Loved watching both of you but must admit Caitlin's reaction in particular because it was exactly like mine, they are just so cute and adorable.
Good to see you both.
LOVE THIS REACTION!😁😁
Caitlin, Fan Girling over BWL, AWESOME!
Andrew sliding in The Scottish Snap definition, AWESOMESAUCE!
Suga's line of ordinary/extraordinary being pointed out by Caitlin.😊 So cute!
Thanks for the smiles you two!😁😁😁😁😁
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you! 💜
Yes! My favorite couple! *^_^*
As Caitlin said it is a POP song, a good one, and the lyrics are good, not superdeep, but are rooted on the title, which in Korean is A Poem For Small Things. Isn't it real love when someone takes interest in your everyday and loves your small gestures, just going to the supermarket with you or having dinner together? Or how your face focus on reading a passage on a book?
The song is sweet and doesn't overdo it imo. ^^
Glad you checked it!
Andrew, have you known Caitlin as a fangirl before? (genuinely curious XD) You must be glad and happy she joined you on the no return path down.
Ah! Brace yourselves for JK prod SUGA... you know O_O
PS. When you start with RUN BTS... you are gonna fall in love with all 7 so so so so even much more. Suggestion: before Run, they had Rookie King (in YT) and AHL (American Hustle Life) - please, I know what you may have heard, but come neutral to it ;) and you'll enjoy it for the good stuff they did while in LA.
Yes! Caitlin has told me stories of fangirling over some bands in high school 😂
I love this, LOL! It's so fun to see you guys enjoying it so much - I hope you react to all the songs from the PTD concert that you don't already know, because there were definitely some gems in that setlist!! For some reason I feel like Caitlin is going to LOVE the "Most Beautiful Moment in Life" era and storyline. Looking forward to the rest of your journey with BTS!
Oh, no, never watch in a row! You'll learn the next come back 🤭. Thank you, I'm expectant for what will happen the next week.
I love them. You are so relatable in this video. Thank you Andrew for the fun fact
Thank you for this reaction! I enjoyed it a lot!! Looking forward to more BTS reactions with you guys, I love you so much
💜
I feel ya Caitlin!
So, the cream on this perfect frothy sorbet of a song and video is actually the Korean title for the song: “A Poem for the Little Things”.
The title “Boy with luv” is a “meh” for me, but reading the lyrics thinking that it is a poem for the little things takes this from Cotton candy pop to something transcendental.
Tell me that RM isn’t a bard, and I’ll fight you!
Loved seeing you both so happy with this song. This was the MV that actually made me an ARMY but I haven't seen it for a while and made me strangely emotional! Such a happy, pop/american diner vibe, with a touch of "Singing in the Rain" at the end. Glad you both enjoyed it! (good to know what a Scotch snap is too!)
love you guys! I'm totally fan girling over Caitlin's reaction lol thank you
That song brings out the fangirl in all of us :p
😂
I saw them perform BWL on SNL April 2019 and that was the beginning of my love of BTS. Although I immediately downloaded that song, it actually took a couple years before I went down rabbit hole but here I am loving every minute of it.
Andrew I just love your fun facts.
😀
I'm always enjoy you guys reaction together. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This song is soooo catchy! I remembered back when it was released, it's very popular here where I'm from and the radio played it multiple times a day. Which got me curious in them and here I am now! It's been such a journey and I'm glad you all get to join in on the ride~~ 💜💜💜💜
I hope you guys also react to other songs from the concert you weren't familiar with before and are curious about their meanings 😊 I was truly happy for you both you got to go to the concert 💕 I know it's also one of my dreams I hope gets fulfilled 🥰
Thank you, between the concert and some of the intro videos, there are so many songs I want to react to!
@@AndrewBergSax I'm sure it'll all be fun 😊 (except blue and grey, that one's more sad 🥲)
This song is abt their relationship with no one but ARMY! I wish you knew that before reacting to this😂 love his still tho💜
i'm not the biggest fan of bubblegum pop, but i love BWL! i especially have such good memories from comeback night, when i stayed up to watch the mv as soon as it came out and freak out with all the other ARMYs. the "scotch snap" fact was so cool!
방탄소년단, 굿모닝~~ 아침 일찍 하루 시작을 탄이들 노래로 시작한다...흐믓쓰 우리 탄이들 이 노래로 14억뷰 찍었어 ㅠㅠㅠ 역시 너희들 대견쓰~~
I think music is satisfactory if you just enjoyed it as music.
But I can see and know more as much as I know.
I was very interested when you figured out all the albums and mentioned Icarus.
I'm so happy that I started my first day with this mv of BTS. Thank you so much, you two. always love you.
I would have to say this song is definitely in my top ten favorite BTS songs of all time. I love this song.
How the hell did it get to this with you two 🤣🤣. The title if this song in Korean is "a poem of small things". Jimin found the translation in English to be potentially problematic ("small things" may be misconstrued as "unimportant stuffs") so they adopted Boy wif Luv instead, a throwback to "Boy In Luv". Basically the point in the song is that any relationship (including BTS-ARMY) aren't defined by the big things. Small things matters - like asking how is your day. I have made the point previously that in order to appreciate BTS fully we must listen to BTS chronogically and in full albums because of all the common references and threads used acrosd their discography. You caught the wings reference (there are more!). Hope you will do album listens soon!
With how desperate Andrew is to get to know more of their discography, I suspect album listens are not too far on the horizon, hopefully 🤞
However, I love how when RM was telling the story of Jimin being concerned, he (RM) reassured ARMY that "since I know Jimin I know that good things come in small packages" (total rephrasing on my part but essentially what he said :D)
I LOVE Caitlin’s reaction!!! So cute to see her fan girling 🥰🥰. There is a really cute behind the scenes video (a Bangtan Bomb I think) of BTS practicing the dance with Halsey for the Grammy’s performance they did of Boy With Luv. Caitlin would probably love it 😍
Love Caitlin's fangirl hysterihahem - excitement. Love it. Love it. Love it! More please
Ahhhh!!!! that gummy eating challenge is so funny 🤣
Andrew, did you feel called upon with Jin's "come be my teacher" line? 👨🏫
So this is my conotribution to what most of the comments probably are going to tell you, too: there are lots of references to "singing in the rain" in this MV, from the iconic dancing around the lamp-posts, movie posters, yellow stage in a light cone with lots of neon signs, ...
That was thoroughly enjoyable to watch you both jamming out to this Bop of a song! Thank you both for doing this one 😁
And also, after your poll yesterday, I am even more excited for what's to come next week 👀
All the best 💜

"Come be my teacher" LOL Conny 😂
What is CFA. Who is Conny
help?!!!
@@Lovmyself Conny is the commenter's name, (DeliaConny).
CFA - suffice to say that it has to do with some of Andrew's Discord moderators.
@@AngelaSealana i had to! i'm sorry 😇
@@Lovmyself yep, Angela explained that perfectly, hi, i'm Conny 😄
Thank you guys for this 😁 been sick with Covid for the past week and I found your channel today. Have not smile and laughed this much since getting sick! Love the vibes and the sincere love of music. We love having you as ARMY 💜💜
💜💜
Love the colors.
The mini mental breakdown she had, I love it, haha. I understand, I felt that in my ARMY soul, lol. I hope you guys continue to enjoy BTS, love seeing all the things you learn and experience on the journey!
You should take a look at Boy with Love on the The Late Show/ Stephen Colbert-2019. It was done in black and white with Stephen introducing them with his impersonation of Ed Sullivan. (Older folks will remember.) But the singing and dancing was amazing! I know they are always amazing but the little extras they added were great.
Is it better than the historical SNL performance with live band???
Yes! "Older folk" here, and that is BY FAR my favorite BWL performance. The Beatles vibe works perfectly with this song. So clever!
@@bt6248 I've seen snippets of that here and there and the choreo/dancing seemed better in the SNL but I'll be able to make an educated determination after i watch the other someday :)
Hey cuties!!! Always look forward to you posting 💜
Thank you guys for doing this one :)))
05:07 Caitlin is me. Haha. This song just warms my heart so much every time I hear it 🥺😊💜 a little love letter of the boys to us ARMYs
I just love Caitlin 💜 she's so cute 😊
Caitlin is so cute :3
Ooo I'd be so flattered if the real Kim Taehyung ever told me i was so cute!
I LOVE THIS
8:23 guys this is exactly what an army looks like 😅
Caitlin was a mood this whole video super cute 🥰
Caitlin vibing is the cutest thing ever! 💜
I love when you said that it feels like your favorite romantic comedy! Agreed 💕 one of my favorite lyrics amongst all of their songs is RM’s rap in this song. When he included the Icarus metaphor, I was blown away!
First to comment! I redeemed myself from last week. I got the poll right.
Hahaha that's great!! Only like 8% of people got last week's poll right 😂
This song made me an army aside to my hobi ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
The army version is my favorite !! You should check it out we hear Halsey way more in that version! (Sorry if my English is bad I’m French lol)
Ohbthat sounds great, I'll check it out!
love your cross references that you bring up and both of you are so cute 💜
Love you both, so genuine and fun!
I love this! Caitlin is definitely a mood. Love her so much. 💜
If you can, please check out the Global ARMY Song "7 Reasons" and "W8" 💜
My cheeks are hurting from smiling too much hahaha you put me in such a good mood!
So, Scotch snap is the 16th-dotted 8th combination. Sing a couple phrases of "Comin' thro' the Rye" and you'll get the idea. On another note, Boy with Luv was my gateway drug into BTS, so fun and cleanly sexy, and I immediately began finding multiple versions of it (Colbert/Ed Sullivan and the dance practice are my favorites). I was very confused by the presence of the woman, not knowing the members and also not knowing who or what Halsey was about. I remember being completely captivated by Jimin at first, then slowly learning about and loving each member's special qualities.
Caitlin you are so adorable 😊
You guys look so cute together
God I love this song. Really good driving song too
I joined the discord server
Glad to have you! 😀
@@AndrewBergSax I love your videos I appreciate your musical information on the videos you react to
Thank you so much!
@@AndrewBergSax you are very welcome please react to BTS baepsae ( silver spoon) dance practice with your wife
I believe you already know that Boy With Love shows the maturing of the guys from Boy In Love. The love they have received from Army has given them wings to fly they love Army in return. Halsey represents Army and if you notice they don’t sexualize her, they are just enjoying being together on this journey. It’s a beautiful relationship much like your beautiful relationship 💜💜💜 fan girl out!! No judgment here 😉
Oh that's cool about Halsey representing ARMY! And I was totally going to do Boy in Luv with this in the same reaction, but I've been busy and next week's video is going to be a big one!
@@AndrewBergSax looking forward to it 🙂
@@AndrewBergSax waitinng
it's a great idea to react to "boy in luv" next! this song basically is a response to that one, and it'll also get you one step closer to watching 2019 MMA, BTS's best performance imo ;)
I know, i wanted to do it in the same video, but editing takes so much time 😭
@@AndrewBergSax that's okay !!!!!
always love to see your reactions guysss
It is a fun song and beautiful video, and Halsey has become a great friend to BTS. This was one of my first favorite BTS song of the week in my journey.
BTS do callbacks to other songs it seems regularly. You will need to check out the BTS Universe Storyline in the BU videos,. There is time travel, Jin is a traveler.
