Promise is from Jimin to Jimin, he says that at first he was going to compose the song with sad/bad vibe because he was like in a bad mental state but then he mind change he didn't wanted to do a song that didn't reflect what he was feeling. You should see the vlive that he talks about this song
I remember jimin did a vlive just after winter bear released and he was saying that he sleeps peacefully listening to winterbear. And jimin was the one who gave those 2 bears to tae which tae than used it in the picture for winter bear. And jimin calls taehyung baby bear. 😭😭 These boys just make my heart melt. Since than I also listen to winter bear at night.. Like a lullaby. 🥺
I love all these songs but Tonight will always make me cry. Jin's sincere love and fear of losing his pets is something I've felt a lot since childhood but it reminds me specifically of my special girl, Patches. We helped nurse each other through a very hard time after she adopted us (she was our neighbors cat but after her owners daughter's family moved in, was getting very abused and so chose to live with us). She was grieving over the loss of one of her old owners and I was suffering from crippling anxiety. Tonight reminds me of all the times she would lay with me and be there to greet the day with me, all those happy moments that I cherished with her. One day I woke up and she was gone and I had to go lay her to rest in her fav spot in the garden. Jin's words and voice feel like an echo of that time to me.
Still with you is a song that JK wrote for Army, he is telling us how much he misses us, because of the pandemic they couldn't go on tour, and interact with us.
Also to explain the music video for winter bear... V takes pictures of the sky in different shots reminiscing the past in his life and even in some scenes you see him walking backwards and even scenes of ppl and the world moving backwards almost being stuck in the past but towards the end of the mv after he accepts the past, he decides that it’s time to stop reminiscing in the past and that he has to keep moving forward He directed the mv and its pure art
I picked Jin as my favorite vocalist early on in my standom before I knew his background because it was just so emotional. It was the one that I heard and it touched me. And then I saw him live a month after I first even heard of them and he's PERFECT live and so emotional still and that solidified it for me. I love them all so much for different reasons but Jin has so much power in his instrument and it touches me. Also, Hobi is such an underrated lyricist. He's so clever and playful and insightful. I think it should be a rule that you can only react to his songs if you have DoolSet up right next to it.
Winter Bear hits me so hard every single time. It's so vulnerable but hopeful and raw and peaceful all at once. it's really what the feelings of missing and mourning feel like years later when you think of the person and the comfort they bring you and wonder how they are and wish peace for them.
also, i love how the video is filmed like someone is exploring the world with him. how when he's eating they show the two plates and he's smiling with someone. it kind of is like from the perspective of someone watching over him and it captures that feeling that they are always with him.
Jin wrote Tonight for his pets that have passed away... I remember when I heard this the first time without knowing what it was about nor lyrics I cried
Ahhhh Landon THANK You for checking these songs on SoundCloud out! All are beautiful BUT OMG Jimin's Promise gives me chills. Did you know it was a song he wrote for himself as much as for fans to help them through self doubt and negativity. When the song came out Jimin shared how he would always struggle to show himself love, and how self deprecating thoughts would plague him. But in Promise, Jimin is counselling himself to be his own light, and that he shouldn’t be so hard on himself and hurt himself anymore. But since the song is also to fans, he is also telling us that we can be their own light and happiness. To not just depend on BTS, and to find our own strength and happiness. The last few lines of the song are so profound, he makes himself and asks us to make a Promise to love ourselves: to treat ourselves better, “Now make a promise to you/myself A number of times per day Even if you feel alone Don’t leave yourself.” We need to be there for ourselves.
Ugh yes 😭🥺 it hits so much deeper once I knew the true meaning. My patrons told me about Joon getting him to change the pronouns from I to You and that changed everything 💜💜💜🥺🥺🥺
@@LandonMark Yeah Jimin did consult Joon about this song because it was such an important song for him - his very first, fully written by him. Did you know 'Promise' broke SoundCloud's record for biggest 24-hour debut - streaming 8.5 million times within its first day after being shared Dec. 31, and it's now streamed over 249 MILLION streams. So happy for Jimin!
a fact to make u cry even more; Taehyung used to be called "baby bear" in his family so the fact that Winter Bear is dedicated for his late grandma is just... yeah, you know, it'll hit different when u listen to him singing "Sleep like a winter bear" after this.....
Jin once said as much as he wants people to listen to Tonight, he also kinda hopes people won't listen to it that much because its a really sad song and he doesn't want to make people especially ARMY sad. T.T I've never owned a pet in my 26 years of my life but I got a cat after hearing that song, and I remember him saying it's not an easy feat to raise a pet, it's a living breathing life form and you have to take responsibility for it. I wonder if that's why he no longer owns a pet, after losing Janggu, Odeng, and Eomuk. Must be really heartbreaking. I still remember his vlive when an ARMY asked him about his remaining pet Eomuk, he talked about Odengie who didn't survive, he tried his best not to be emotional but his voice really got emotional and choked up however since he knew a lot of us were watching he composed himself and tried to change the subject. I've only been with my cat for 5 months and it pains me already just thinking I might lose her one day. 😭
Even though i've never had a pet Tonight always makes me tear up, jin's voice, his lyrics, the way we always see him goofing around and then he suddenly shows us his emotional depth is so profound and real and... just... lost for words. Now that you've seen this you can see the bangtan bomb when jin recorded this in a hotel room!! Also maybe you can do a video for covers, jk and jin did many song covers and they're all on soundcloud too.
Their SoundCloud discography are some of my favourite works from them. They're all so personal and touching and FAR too exquisite for me to be listening to them for free. In some ways it makes sense that they're not on paid platforms, they're songs made purely for the love of music and a want to express their feelings. On the other hand, they're so beautiful I want a wider audience to hear them.
Nobody touches my heart like Tae Joseph Anthony the Third. Taehyung was raised primarily by his grandparents on their farm because his parents had to go elsewhere to work. His voice always moves me to tears.
I don't know if you heard it but if you put on headphones or have good surround-sound speakers you can hear that when Jimin s humming in promise, it goes from one ear to another - I got CHILLS chills the first time I heard it 😭
promise is my favorite song ever, it means so much to me jimin actually confirmed that in this song, he's talking to himself the song is about self love and perfectly ties in with his other solos (lie and filter) these songs go together because in every single one of them, jimin talks to himself. his views change throughout these songs, which is really interesting to see. in all of these songs, jimin seems to refer to his celebrity self as ''i'' and his real self as ''you'' in lie, jimin heavily criticizes himself for blaming himself for his shortfallings, to the point where he says he is constantly lying to himself saying he isn't good enough. But i wont go in depth now since you haven't heard it yet but be ready for a lot of rants when you react to wings lol in promise, jimin moves past this. instead of being angry at himself, he promises himself to try and be better. at the start, jimin reflects on the past, when did he start hurting himself? jimin want he wants to embrace both the good (light) and the bad (night). in the end, he promises himself to take care of himself, while also encouraging the listener to do the same. so yeah we all pinky promise jimin and ourselves to take care of us. ''promise me now, don't throw yourself away'' Now u can cry over this information, yw
So the backstory for promise. I’m not sure if you mentioned it 🥺 soooo he had been trying to make this song for a while but it was much negative. It was an angry song against himself. Then on citifield concert on 2018 he broke down crying. We were all 🥺. The this song came out. He said that day it all clicked for him and the title was born. He was going to promise to himself to be kind with himself. It became a healing song instead of an angry song 🥺💜 Im so proud of him and so grateful I got so see this journey 🥺💜
Jin once said as much as he wants people to listen to Tonight, he also kinda hopes people won't listen to it that much because its a really sad song and he doesn't want to make people especially ARMY sad.

@@j4015 Cherrish your cat 🥺 My family adopted my grandma‘s elderly birds after she passed when I was still very young. So I wasn’t too attached when the birds eventually passed away as well, but I still cried a lot then. Pets are precious life companions 💜
@25:45 For me, Winter Bear is like a poem. The blue macaw parrot is now an extinct bird in the wild. Bears doe not go away/die in winter, but hibernates and sleeps happily in winter which sounds although she’s passed- she is still with him just hibernating in his thoughts and memories for example when he says....”Imagine your face, Say hello to me, Then all the bad days, they're nothing to me, With you”. For me this song represents: those we love and lose do not ever actually leave us, they remain forever in our memories 💕😭✨🥰 Some ARMY interpret the song about his grandmother who passed away although V has never mentioned it, she is the blue parrot, V is the winter bear (Tae is Born in December, and his parents called him honey bear/baby bear). V also mentioned a sweet romantic scene from the movie “About Time” inspired the song as well. In the film, the protagonist can time travel so he tries to change his past to improve his future. (also notice he’s walking backwards towards the end of MV “rewinding time”, then forwards again at the end. Like he will always have the memories but he can’t change time or the past and must keep moving forward.
i may be wrong, but i remember some vlive with Jimin, Jhope and Tae, where he said that the inspiration for Winter Bear was the movie (? haven't seen it) "About time" and he wrote the song after watching it on the tour. there was the the scene where guy proposes to particular She. quote "she was sleeping and the man was kneeling to propose, that scene was so impressive" so please don't cry Landon, my heart hurts
@@MarinaEariel i always felt weird about that like why to manipulate on such a sensitive topic just because it sounds dramatic. it's real life of real person, not a story plot. where is respect in some people
music wise Scenery is my favorite solo by Tae on soundcloud (cuz apparently i can't choose between his songs that starts with an S, Singularity and Stigma lol)
Srsly, Scenery is pure bliss of Taehyungs voice.... Its my favorite too! It shows how Taehyung incorporates his love of art in his music. It just makes you paint a picture of sceneries.
Thanks for this reaction on the songs in Soundcloud, actually these songs are so underrated as they are free, but these are those songs that the members wanted to express themselves or their preferences!, I teared up again when you felt about Jin's song and winter bear, I wish you could react to Taehyung's Sweet Night too, you won't be disappointed
ua-cam.com/video/XBK44gnvXeo/v-deo.html just had to drop this here bc I reacted to it already and its one of my favorite solos and I play it all the time! 🥺💜
“Still with you” was released by JK when they realised that their world tour was cancelled because of COVID. It was written to express his feelings about missing ARMY. The imagery of running in wet shoes in the rain reminds one of the incident he recalled in FESTA 2020, of a fight with Jimin at their dance studio, of how he got lost running, and Jimin waited for him in the rain to give him a big hug to make up... Still with you was dropped around the same time as their 7th anniversary celebrations.
I’m a Jin stan and Jin’s solos are everything to me. But I need “Still with you” in my life. I need it! It’s my go to song if I need peace. When I’m on the busy bus going to work in the morning and I haven’t even had my coffee yet, I need “still with you” to keep me together. It’s just a beautiful beautiful song. Jungkookie! 🥺💜
Hey Landon, I really hope you get to see this comment! I'm putting a link related to Winter Bear you should REALLY see to cheer up! ☺️ After watching your reaction and looking at the comments I think you might like to know that there IS actually a somewhat lighter side to Winter Bear. The timing of Winter Bear's release seems like a clear tribute for Tae's grandmother, and it's definitely possible that it could be at least partly about her as a topic as a lot of people seem to speculate (although I haven't ever seen anything referenced so I'm not sure if Tae ever explicitly claimed that himself), and it can be lovely for people to interpret it as such if they choose imo. However, in one clip I HAVE watched of Tae himself discussing on VLive how he composed Winter Bear, he says the major inspiration for it was a proposal scene from the fantasy romance movie 'About Time', which he and the other members seem to have watching several times. (BTW, Tae is, or used to be, a big fan of Rachel McAdams 😆). He describes the scene, but it doesn't spoil the movie at all. ☺️ So from what he says in this clip, there is definitely a very tender and maybe even joyous side to the song that inspired the words. I've linked a subtitled version of him talking about it below: m.ua-cam.com/video/GVG8YBuXDvU/v-deo.html I'll also include a link to the particular scene he was referring to in case you want to watch it to understand the vibe that first inspired the song (he was working on it for a long time!). I think out of context it doesn't spoil the movie but if you want to watch it and see nothing first, maybe hold back. m.ua-cam.com/video/3PukchpvluQ/v-deo.html Both clips are only around 2 mins long. I'd definitely recommend watching at least the first one, and I'd love to know what you thought afterwards if you did! Personally I think a song is completed by the audience, and can very rarely have a rigid message unless it's incredibly blunt; music is such an ambiguous conduit for emotions, and everyone might receive or relate to something a little differently, and I think it's beautiful when a song can become personal to the audience as well as the artist. I'll admit that I hear a lot more sweetness in winter bear than sadness, but I knew about Tae's film inspiration before I read other people's suggestions, and I'm a sucker for movie and literature references in narrative songs. As a minor film buff and a Tae bias I also love the fact that he draws from such things - both his input AND output can be theatrical! Sorry for the epic comment, but I do hope you can read this and lift your mood a little 😁
Uughhhh winter bear always gets to me 😭. I was also raised by my grandmother. She was the true mother figure for me. So now....here I am hanging laundry with tears streaming down my face wth 👀😭
I was listening and watching your reaction to 1verse but then I couldn't because I was so hyped up that I had to dance to it. I really love jhope flow versatility on that song.
Thank you for this video, their soundcloud music it's so good!! My favorites are the ones you reacted plus scenery by tae. I can't wait for your reaction to wings!!
@@LandonMark I know you will eventually but since you're listening to soundcloud songs it is THE soundcloud song like I can't stress enough how much you need to hear it
BTS made me download SoundCloud. 1 verse is just... Unbeatable, so good, brilliant... I'm from the tropics too, so.. Promise is a comfort song for me. Just listened to it today! Tonight reminds me of staying at the hospital and staying up as my grandfather was struggling on the ventilator. He did not pass away that night but he passed away a month later. Winter Bear... Winter bear is a late night poem for me. And Still With You, as many have said is a covid serenade. Thanks for painting your picture for us! Oh! It's also one of my little bro's favorites
One of my favorite interpretation on Jimin's Promise is that it was a song for himself and for ARMYs. It was a song reflecting on oneself and how hard we sometimes are towards our own selves. And as our desire to be better hurts us in the process, it is a promise that no matter how hard or dark it may be, we will not lose ourselves. I believe Jimin said Namjoon helped him in realizing the lyrics "I want you to be your light baby, you should be your light." and "I want you to be your night baby, you should be your light." Is the acceptance of light and night in someone's life. That the presence of both is necessary to grow and be better. It is comforting that he made this Promise to himself and he wants us to do the same. 💜 Also I feel like Soundcloud is BTS and ARMYs safe space. I love it there. 💜
Remember that Twitter video vmin uploaded of Jimin holding Tae on a leash with a reindeer headband and sunglasses as they jam out to 1verse in a hotel room? What a ducking mood
No wonder I sobbed like someone broke my heart the first time I heard Winter Bear. It always felt like he was missing someone that was right next to him and that’s kind of what it is. I’ve never looked into it but I sobbed the first 100 times I heard it
Ahhhhhh Landon THANK YOU so much for listening to their Soundcloud songs and recoding this reaction for us, LOVED IT !! Soundcloud is full of beautiful BTS songs, really wish they were on Spotify though 😭 I still listen to them regularly regardless, Promise by Jimin is my go to song for a pick me up 💜
Promise is Jimin's serenade to himself...like an introspective song, speaking to his inner self encouraging his own fears to be stronger and shine, making himself "promise" that he will be better.
Promise is special to me, i find it really relatable and i love the scratchy quieter more intimate way jimin sings in it. it's such a blessing when we get soundcloud stuff and solos because it's really cool that they choose to share more of their personal work even though it must be so nerve-wracking.
I cry every time I hear Tonight. Just thinking of Jinnie being so connected with his pets and him dedicating this song to them... Sad boi hours are open.
Idk if anyone told you this already but Still With You was written for army and released during Festa this year. He's basically talking about how he misses army during this pandemic, can't wait to see us face to face again, and that he is always with us. :(((
I really wanted to skip over Tonight.. Our cat passed away earlier this year and I haven't been able to listen to this song ever since because I know what it's about. But I didn't. Excuse me Landon, I had to take off my headphones..
Funny, how I stan Bangtan since the end of 2014 and following their journey and yet, I almost own zero of their merch .... And here Landon background is so heavenly. TT Alsooooo, ... I respect ppl who is checking boys free tracks on SoundCloud....you're lit Boraheeee
These songs r all my favorites! I cry every time Tonight comes on! Just hits me every time, especially when the song came out, I was in a spat with my sister & she was really mad at me so we stopped talking for almost a yr. The lyrics just hit me so hard! This song is for his pets but it can actually relate to human relationships as well. I finally saw her in person this past summer after 2 yrs! 😭😭😭 I wanted to send this song & Promise to her soo much at that time but I didn't want to upset her even more, especially since she's not a fan of BTS & makes fun of me for being a BTS stan 😫
Yasss Landon!!! I really love the sound cloud songs💕 When I have really bad days and just can’t deal with anything I listen to Promise(btw soooo much better with headphones) & Still With You just sounds just like how I think✨heaven✨sounds like
I love all of these songs and refuse to pick a favorite. That being said, I remember very clearly when Tonight came out; I just cried for like an hour, and my dogs came to check on me, which made me cry even more 😭 But seriously, their voices can evoke so many feelings, these songs are all beautiful 💜
I didn't see comments about this (maybe I missed it): Still with you is the song that JK wrote for army. It is said in the soundcloud link to this song (soundcloud.com/bangtan/thankyouarmy2020 ). He posted it at BTS Festa 2020 - during the lockdowns, after all concerts were cancelled and all of us were confined at home. So when I listen to it, I imagine JK at home in a comfy clothes, looking forward to seeing us at the concerts again (he said before how his favorite performance was Euphoria - because he flew over the crowd and looked in the eyes of the armies; he also looks very attentively at armies during concerts, covering his eyes from the stage light with his mic).
I cried so hard the first time I heard Tonight while reading the lyrics. Every time I listen to it I still cry, it hits close home because some really close family members have passed away in the past 5 years, one a few months ago, so it makes me tear up, also the thought of losing my two dogs makes me really emotional. But I really love it because at the same time it comforts me. The emotion in his voice, the lyrics, the melody. Everything is perfect. Same with Winter Bear, it makes me feel so comforted, I love the melody. I didn’t know it was made for the 3rd anniversary of her grandma’s passing, but now I have a knot in my throat. The lyrics are so nostalgic and sweet, my emotions are all over. Also I adore Still with you. It’s my type of song. Everything about it is so perfect, I love the jazzy feeling, his voice sounded amazing, the lyrics were also nostalgic and I loved them. One of the best 2020 songs. And ht he fact that he wrote it thinking about armys and missing them because he hadn’t seen them for a long time, it’s so sweet
Boy you just had to make me 😢 while I'm at work. Both of these songs are hard for me since the loss of my older brother and my Mom. Winter Bear especially makes me think of her. Okay after this video I have go watch one of the crazy ones. I love you and your reactions! Keep up the good work!
Yes Taehyung never say nothing about his grandmother and he explains in a Vlive of Jimin his inspiration for this song that was a film name about time. In other comments anyone put the link with the Vlive.
Promise is my favorite Jimin solo I'm so happy you finally listened to it. I love it so much I figured out how to sing it in english. Yes. I listened to it with the lyrics that much. Also I'm 2 hours late but I was slEEping so love you 💜
'Still With you' composed n written by Jungkook is the most beautiful song that I've ever heard in my life thank you ,JK for making this wonderful song for Armys❤ thank you for reacting BTS songs🙏
I have listened to these so many times, but listening to you listening to them made me cry sooo badly. . . I don't know why now????? 😭😭😭😭😭 1stly on Jin's song (broke me) . . . well my companion, my baby, my brat of a dog(Matilda) is turning 12 and the VET has advised that she is in pain due to cancer and that there is nothing they can do for her and I need to put her down. I don't want her in pain, but currently I just can't . . .I know I have to as a Pet Owner and someone that velues life, but just the thought of it is making me break down . . . So Love hearing Jin's love for his pets that resonates with how I feel. 2ndly V's WInter Bear. I listened to it the first time 2 weeks before the 4th anaversary of my moms death and found out the meaning behind it days later. 'The song encapsulates my feelings of longing for my best friend and wish to see her . . . Thank you for your reactions and the way you are mining the gold that is BTS.

1 Verse, Winter Bear and Tonight are ones of my favourite solo songs from bts. I love the lyrics
Jin once said as much as he wants people to listen to Tonight, he also kinda hopes people won't listen to it that much because its a really sad song and he doesn't want to make people especially ARMY sad. T.T
I've never owned a pet in my 26 years of my life but I got a cat after hearing that song, and I remember him saying it's not an easy feat to raise a pet, it's a living breathing life form and you have to take responsibility for it.

Tonight by Jin is the first song ever to make me cry, truly a masterpiece!
V also has Scenery on Soundcloud.
Even though i've never had a pet Tonight always makes me tear up, jin's voice, his lyrics, the way we always see him goofing around and then he suddenly shows us his emotional depth is so profound and real and... just... lost for words.

I also love ‘Scenery’ by V and Seoul by RM. It is so beautiful💜
"I don't have many heartstrings left because of these boys." Landon, the way you put words in my mouth. 😂
Nobody touches my heart like Tae Joseph Anthony the Third. Taehyung was raised primarily by his grandparents on their farm because his parents had to go elsewhere to work. His voice always moves me to tears.
I don't know if you heard it but if you put on headphones or have good surround-sound speakers you can hear that when Jimin s humming in promise, it goes from one ear to another - I got CHILLS chills the first time I heard it 😭
promise is my favorite song ever, it means so much to me
jimin actually confirmed that in this song, he's talking to himself
the song is about self love and perfectly ties in with his other solos (lie and filter)
these songs go together because in every single one of them, jimin talks to himself.
his views change throughout these songs, which is really interesting to see.
in all of these songs, jimin seems to refer to his celebrity self as ''i'' and his real self as ''you''
in lie, jimin heavily criticizes himself for blaming himself for his shortfallings, to the point where he says he is constantly lying to himself saying he isn't good enough. But i wont go in depth now since you haven't heard it yet but be ready for a lot of rants when you react to wings lol
in promise, jimin moves past this. instead of being angry at himself, he promises himself to try and be better.
at the start, jimin reflects on the past, when did he start hurting himself? jimin want he wants to embrace both the good (light) and the bad (night). in the end, he promises himself to take care of himself, while also encouraging the listener to do the same. so yeah we all pinky promise jimin and ourselves to take care of us. ''promise me now, don't throw yourself away''
Now u can cry over this information, yw
So the backstory for promise. I’m not sure if you mentioned it 🥺 soooo he had been trying to make this song for a while but it was much negative. It was an angry song against himself. Then on citifield concert on 2018 he broke down crying. We were all 🥺. The this song came out. He said that day it all clicked for him and the title was born. He was going to promise to himself to be kind with himself. It became a healing song instead of an angry song 🥺💜 Im so proud of him and so grateful I got so see this journey 🥺💜
Tonight always makes me cry, so I can't listen to it much... shed some tears while watching your reaction too 😭
Jin once said as much as he wants people to listen to Tonight, he also kinda hopes people won't listen to it that much because its a really sad song and he doesn't want to make people especially ARMY sad. T.T
I've never owned a pet in my 26 years of my life but I got a cat after hearing that song, and I remember him saying it's not an easy feat to raise a pet, it's a living breathing life form and you have to take responsibility for it. I wonder if that's why he no longer owns a pet, after losing Janggu, Odeng, and Eomuk. Must be really heartbreaking. I've only been with my cat for 5 months and it pains me already just thinking I might lose her one day. 😭
@@j4015 Cherrish your cat 🥺 My family adopted my grandma‘s elderly birds after she passed when I was still very young. So I wasn’t too attached when the birds eventually passed away as well, but I still cried a lot then. Pets are precious life companions 💜
@25:45 For me, Winter Bear is like a poem. The blue macaw parrot is now an extinct bird in the wild. Bears doe not go away/die in winter, but hibernates and sleeps happily in winter which sounds although she’s passed- she is still with him just hibernating in his thoughts and memories for example when he says....”Imagine your face, Say hello to me, Then all the bad days, they're nothing to me, With you”. For me this song represents: those we love and lose do not ever actually leave us, they remain forever in our memories 💕😭✨🥰 Some ARMY interpret the song about his grandmother who passed away although V has never mentioned it, she is the blue parrot, V is the winter bear (Tae is Born in December, and his parents called him honey bear/baby bear). V also mentioned a sweet romantic scene from the movie “About Time” inspired the song as well. In the film, the protagonist can time travel so he tries to change his past to improve his future. (also notice he’s walking backwards towards the end of MV “rewinding time”, then forwards again at the end. Like he will always have the memories but he can’t change time or the past and must keep moving forward.
"Still with you" is a bop, it's a pity that the song is released on SoundCloud only.
Fr tho even locals love the song
Jimin was so sweet he gifted Tae the bears it was so beautiful I cried when he gave Tae the gift 😭😭😭💜💜💜💜
i may be wrong, but i remember some vlive with Jimin, Jhope and Tae, where he said that the inspiration for Winter Bear was the movie (? haven't seen it) "About time" and he wrote the song after watching it on the tour. there was the the scene where guy proposes to particular She. quote "she was sleeping and the man was kneeling to propose, that scene was so impressive"
so please don't cry Landon, my heart hurts
you're right, its on vlive
Yeah, I still couldn't find who was the first to fabricate the whole "it's about his grandma's death" thing
Also, the movie involves time travel and the effects of your decisions so I'm guessing that's also partly the inspiration for the music video.
@@MarinaEariel i always felt weird about that like why to manipulate on such a sensitive topic just because it sounds dramatic. it's real life of real person, not a story plot. where is respect in some people
@@MarinaEariel i think i should watch it, sounds really interesting now
Whoop Winter Bear got me crying too 😭 today’s not my day
music wise Scenery is my favorite solo by Tae on soundcloud (cuz apparently i can't choose between his songs that starts with an S, Singularity and Stigma lol)
Srsly, Scenery is pure bliss of Taehyungs voice.... Its my favorite too! It shows how Taehyung incorporates his love of art in his music. It just makes you paint a picture of sceneries.
@@j4015 exactly!! it's crazy that that was his first solo cuz it's not even close to be an average attempt
Soundcloud songs are pure gold. Also Taehyung's parents call him 'baby bear' since he was a baby until now.
Thanks for this reaction on the songs in Soundcloud, actually these songs are so underrated as they are free, but these are those songs that the members wanted to express themselves or their preferences!, I teared up again when you felt about Jin's song and winter bear, I wish you could react to Taehyung's Sweet Night too, you won't be disappointed
ua-cam.com/video/XBK44gnvXeo/v-deo.html just had to drop this here bc I reacted to it already and its one of my favorite solos and I play it all the time! 🥺💜
Winter bear Is my favorite because it's makes me feel nostalgic 🥺 I miss my mom too
The Taehyung's voice is so touching!
bts' souncloud discography is a WORK OF ART
Tonight never fails to make me cry, NEVER, specially when reading the lyrics 🤧
“Still with you” was released by JK when they realised that their world tour was cancelled because of COVID. It was written to express his feelings about missing ARMY. The imagery of running in wet shoes in the rain reminds one of the incident he recalled in FESTA 2020, of a fight with Jimin at their dance studio, of how he got lost running, and Jimin waited for him in the rain to give him a big hug to make up... Still with you was dropped around the same time as their 7th anniversary celebrations.
I love 1verse so much, I hope Hobi does more songs like it in his next mixtape!
All the vocal lines solo songs are so good
I’m a Jin stan and Jin’s solos are everything to me. But I need “Still with you” in my life. I need it! It’s my go to song if I need peace. When I’m on the busy bus going to work in the morning and I haven’t even had my coffee yet, I need “still with you” to keep me together. It’s just a beautiful beautiful song. Jungkookie! 🥺💜
Hey Landon, I really hope you get to see this comment! I'm putting a link related to Winter Bear you should REALLY see to cheer up! ☺️ After watching your reaction and looking at the comments I think you might like to know that there IS actually a somewhat lighter side to Winter Bear.
The timing of Winter Bear's release seems like a clear tribute for Tae's grandmother, and it's definitely possible that it could be at least partly about her as a topic as a lot of people seem to speculate (although I haven't ever seen anything referenced so I'm not sure if Tae ever explicitly claimed that himself), and it can be lovely for people to interpret it as such if they choose imo. However, in one clip I HAVE watched of Tae himself discussing on VLive how he composed Winter Bear, he says the major inspiration for it was a proposal scene from the fantasy romance movie 'About Time', which he and the other members seem to have watching several times. (BTW, Tae is, or used to be, a big fan of Rachel McAdams 😆).
He describes the scene, but it doesn't spoil the movie at all. ☺️ So from what he says in this clip, there is definitely a very tender and maybe even joyous side to the song that inspired the words. I've linked a subtitled version of him talking about it below:
m.ua-cam.com/video/GVG8YBuXDvU/v-deo.html
I'll also include a link to the particular scene he was referring to in case you want to watch it to understand the vibe that first inspired the song (he was working on it for a long time!). I think out of context it doesn't spoil the movie but if you want to watch it and see nothing first, maybe hold back. m.ua-cam.com/video/3PukchpvluQ/v-deo.html
Both clips are only around 2 mins long. I'd definitely recommend watching at least the first one, and I'd love to know what you thought afterwards if you did!
Personally I think a song is completed by the audience, and can very rarely have a rigid message unless it's incredibly blunt; music is such an ambiguous conduit for emotions, and everyone might receive or relate to something a little differently, and I think it's beautiful when a song can become personal to the audience as well as the artist. I'll admit that I hear a lot more sweetness in winter bear than sadness, but I knew about Tae's film inspiration before I read other people's suggestions, and I'm a sucker for movie and literature references in narrative songs. As a minor film buff and a Tae bias I also love the fact that he draws from such things - both his input AND output can be theatrical! Sorry for the epic comment, but I do hope you can read this and lift your mood a little 😁
Uughhhh winter bear always gets to me 😭. I was also raised by my grandmother. She was the true mother figure for me. So now....here I am hanging laundry with tears streaming down my face wth 👀😭
Winter Bear by Taehyung is one of my favorites 💜💜💜💜 And I really love V's voice!
I believe JK wrote still with you for A.R.M.Y because he missed us a lot.
1 verse is such a bop but I have never read the lyrics 😳
RIGHT! That one lyric caught me off guard 🥺🥺😂😂
@@LandonMark J-Hope was not holding back 🤭
J-Hope Hobert Anthony went off in 1Verse! And i love it. What a bop!
I was listening and watching your reaction to 1verse but then I couldn't because I was so hyped up that I had to dance to it. I really love jhope flow versatility on that song.
When you read the lyrics of Winter Bear and you know Taehyung's story, the song really touches your heart, it's my favorite song from the video
I can’t wait till you hear Hope World!!! ITS AMAZING another great video Landon! Sorry I had to skip tonight 😔 can’t listen to it without crying
Thank you for this video, their soundcloud music it's so good!! My favorites are the ones you reacted plus scenery by tae.
I can't wait for your reaction to wings!!
WAIT i can't remember but HAVE YOU LISTENED TO DDAENG????
Not yet!
DDAENG THOOOO
@@LandonMark I know you will eventually but since you're listening to soundcloud songs it is THE soundcloud song like I can't stress enough how much you need to hear it
WHAT OMG THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE ASAP WHAT! 😱
He really needs to prepare himself to that one... The song, the stage and the explanation... 🔥🔥
BTS made me download SoundCloud.
1 verse is just... Unbeatable, so good, brilliant... I'm from the tropics too, so..
Promise is a comfort song for me. Just listened to it today!
Tonight reminds me of staying at the hospital and staying up as my grandfather was struggling on the ventilator. He did not pass away that night but he passed away a month later.
Winter Bear... Winter bear is a late night poem for me.
And Still With You, as many have said is a covid serenade. Thanks for painting your picture for us! Oh! It's also one of my little bro's favorites
One of my favorite interpretation on Jimin's Promise is that it was a song for himself and for ARMYs.
It was a song reflecting on oneself and how hard we sometimes are towards our own selves. And as our desire to be better hurts us in the process, it is a promise that no matter how hard or dark it may be, we will not lose ourselves.
I believe Jimin said Namjoon helped him in realizing the lyrics
"I want you to be your light baby, you should be your light." and "I want you to be your night baby, you should be your light."
Is the acceptance of light and night in someone's life. That the presence of both is necessary to grow and be better.
It is comforting that he made this Promise to himself and he wants us to do the same. 💜
Also I feel like Soundcloud is BTS and ARMYs safe space. I love it there. 💜
Remember that Twitter video vmin uploaded of Jimin holding Tae on a leash with a reindeer headband and sunglasses as they jam out to 1verse in a hotel room?
What a ducking mood
No wonder I sobbed like someone broke my heart the first time I heard Winter Bear. It always felt like he was missing someone that was right next to him and that’s kind of what it is. I’ve never looked into it but I sobbed the first 100 times I heard it
Jin's Tonight makes me bawl my eyes out even thouhg I (thankfully) never lost a pet yet 😭😭😭
Ahhhhhh Landon THANK YOU so much for listening to their Soundcloud songs and recoding this reaction for us, LOVED IT !! Soundcloud is full of beautiful BTS songs, really wish they were on Spotify though 😭 I still listen to them regularly regardless, Promise by Jimin is my go to song for a pick me up 💜
Winter Bear 😭💜
Promise is Jimin's serenade to himself...like an introspective song, speaking to his inner self encouraging his own fears to be stronger and shine, making himself "promise" that he will be better.
1Verse is one of my favourite songs!
Promise is special to me, i find it really relatable and i love the scratchy quieter more intimate way jimin sings in it. it's such a blessing when we get soundcloud stuff and solos because it's really cool that they choose to share more of their personal work even though it must be so nerve-wracking.
I cry every time I hear Tonight. Just thinking of Jinnie being so connected with his pets and him dedicating this song to them... Sad boi hours are open.
I haven’t heard the lyrics of 1-Verse or meaning....
HOBI. WHAT. HAPPENED. WITH. THAT. WORD. PLAY.
bts soundcloud songs are highkey their best works - and we get them for free!!!
I bawled so hard while you were reacting to tonight.
Still with you. Was written composed and produced by jungkook. It is a deep emotional song.
Oh my gosh, Landon, I felt for you on this one. WHAT a rollercoaster of emotions. Wow. Congratulations on surviving. Borahae. P.S. THANK YOU MODS
Idk if anyone told you this already but Still With You was written for army and released during Festa this year. He's basically talking about how he misses army during this pandemic, can't wait to see us face to face again, and that he is always with us. :(((
I promised myself that I was never to cry on Jinnie winnie's Tonight cuz i told myself to get over it....
I'm still not over it. 😭😔
Same jinnie had ne crying😭💖
I really wanted to skip over Tonight.. Our cat passed away earlier this year and I haven't been able to listen to this song ever since because I know what it's about. But I didn't. Excuse me Landon, I had to take off my headphones..
I hope your feeling better. I personally believe your beloved checks up on you from heaven
I think this long hair look really suits you! The hair frames your face really well!
Idk if anyone told you but the original song of 1Verse is called El Chapo by The Game, if you get interested 😅
I still cry whenever I hear Winter Bear and Tonight ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
"You need to listen to 1 Verse before Wings"
Me: lost trying to figure out why
* one second into the song *
Me: "OHHHH I'M DUMB, now it makes sense"
Can I know why? I'm a baby army here. I'm kinda overwhelmed because I started knowing about their story line😭
@@heavens_sins He references 1Verse in his parte on Cypher pt4 and also, at least to my perception, the beat of both songs have some resemblance
Funny, how I stan Bangtan since the end of 2014 and following their journey and yet, I almost own zero of their merch .... And here Landon background is so heavenly. TT
Alsooooo, ... I respect ppl who is checking boys free tracks on SoundCloud....you're lit
Boraheeee
💜💜💜 I have gotten most of this stuff from amazing people sending it to me! I love ARMY so much. But I will be giving back soon with a mega giveaway!!
@@LandonMark ahhhh bless you...I never get enuf luck with giveaway 😅. But, may the one whose lucky enough to get it will cherish it at heart.
These songs r all my favorites! I cry every time Tonight comes on! Just hits me every time, especially when the song came out, I was in a spat with my sister & she was really mad at me so we stopped talking for almost a yr. The lyrics just hit me so hard! This song is for his pets but it can actually relate to human relationships as well. I finally saw her in person this past summer after 2 yrs! 😭😭😭 I wanted to send this song & Promise to her soo much at that time but I didn't want to upset her even more, especially since she's not a fan of BTS & makes fun of me for being a BTS stan 😫
MIXTAPES. MIXTAPES.
Yasss Landon!!! I really love the sound cloud songs💕 When I have really bad days and just can’t deal with anything I listen to Promise(btw soooo much better with headphones) & Still With You just sounds just like how I think✨heaven✨sounds like
i absolutely love your reactions 🥺 and i definitely pictured jk with a top hat, and that mic 👉👈
When my dog died, I remember listening to tonight and being so comforted by jinnie’s song ☺️
I hope you react to 4oclock.. One of the best song on SoundCloud
"God damn, you can talk Landon"
The way I spat my tea 🤣🤣🤣
I love all of these songs and refuse to pick a favorite. That being said, I remember very clearly when Tonight came out; I just cried for like an hour, and my dogs came to check on me, which made me cry even more 😭
But seriously, their voices can evoke so many feelings, these songs are all beautiful 💜
Omg yay!! Now you gotta check out Ddaeng by the rapline and the explained video by DKDKTV!
I didn't see comments about this (maybe I missed it): Still with you is the song that JK wrote for army. It is said in the soundcloud link to this song (soundcloud.com/bangtan/thankyouarmy2020 ). He posted it at BTS Festa 2020 - during the lockdowns, after all concerts were cancelled and all of us were confined at home. So when I listen to it, I imagine JK at home in a comfy clothes, looking forward to seeing us at the concerts again (he said before how his favorite performance was Euphoria - because he flew over the crowd and looked in the eyes of the armies; he also looks very attentively at armies during concerts, covering his eyes from the stage light with his mic).
I cried so hard the first time I heard Tonight while reading the lyrics. Every time I listen to it I still cry, it hits close home because some really close family members have passed away in the past 5 years, one a few months ago, so it makes me tear up, also the thought of losing my two dogs makes me really emotional. But I really love it because at the same time it comforts me. The emotion in his voice, the lyrics, the melody. Everything is perfect.
Same with Winter Bear, it makes me feel so comforted, I love the melody. I didn’t know it was made for the 3rd anniversary of her grandma’s passing, but now I have a knot in my throat. The lyrics are so nostalgic and sweet, my emotions are all over.
Also I adore Still with you. It’s my type of song. Everything about it is so perfect, I love the jazzy feeling, his voice sounded amazing, the lyrics were also nostalgic and I loved them. One of the best 2020 songs. And ht he fact that he wrote it thinking about armys and missing them because he hadn’t seen them for a long time, it’s so sweet
Boy you just had to make me 😢 while I'm at work. Both of these songs are hard for me since the loss of my older brother and my Mom. Winter Bear especially makes me think of her. Okay after this video I have go watch one of the crazy ones. I love you and your reactions! Keep up the good work!
Pls listen to scenery by V too ... it’s on soundcloud and Ddaeng
Kim taehyung is the better voice in the world 😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜
So happy you got to listen to these amazing songs. And I love the long hair down... you’re giving me will scarlet vibes
1 Verse by J-hope is truly a gem!!
Thanks for your Beautyfull Reaktion 💜 all this Songs are masterpices
wow, winter bear being about his grandma was pure speculation.
Yes Taehyung never say nothing about his grandmother and he explains in a Vlive of Jimin his inspiration for this song that was a film name about time. In other comments anyone put the link with the Vlive.
Promise is my favorite Jimin solo
I'm so happy you finally listened to it.
I love it so much I figured out how to sing it in english. Yes. I listened to it with the lyrics that much.
Also I'm 2 hours late but I was slEEping so love you 💜
'Still With you' composed n written by Jungkook is the most beautiful song that I've ever heard in my life
thank you ,JK for making this wonderful song for Armys❤
thank you for reacting BTS songs🙏
I have listened to these so many times, but listening to you listening to them made me cry sooo badly. . . I don't know why now????? 😭😭😭😭😭
1stly on Jin's song (broke me) . . . well my companion, my baby, my brat of a dog(Matilda) is turning 12 and the VET has advised that she is in pain due to cancer and that there is nothing they can do for her and I need to put her down. I don't want her in pain, but currently I just can't . . .I know I have to as a Pet Owner and someone that velues life, but just the thought of it is making me break down . . . So Love hearing Jin's love for his pets that resonates with how I feel.
2ndly V's WInter Bear. I listened to it the first time 2 weeks before the 4th anaversary of my moms death and found out the meaning behind it days later. 'The song encapsulates my feelings of longing for my best friend and wish to see her . . .
Thank you for your reactions and the way you are mining the gold that is BTS.
These are so fking good i need them on spotify RN especially still with you :')
