Closer is a killer song. I love love love it so much. It blew my mind the first time I heard it and I've listened to it probably 20xs so far and it just gets better. And those runs, an eargasm for sure.
RM is a beautiful lyricist and has great “ears” for music. His generosity and confidence in his talent extends to knowing who he’d like as contributors. It also lends itself to letting others shine and fly ( as he’s done so many times as the leader of BTS ) but make no doubt this is RM’s album. 🔥🎤🎶
Paul Blanco is literally a born singer! 👍👍 He doesnt need so complicated singing technic, just put his soul in a song and sing, then a whole song completely soulfull. Closer 💜
i like the end a lot actually it feels very emotional like joon is begging someone to stay away even as his emotions take him over. Honne produced both this and Seoul
I just want to say that this is not just cute and clean song. If you really read Najoon’s lyrics from the beginning of his album to the end, it’s not just cute. It’sa very complex mixture of emotions. That’s all I’m saying. (Joon is not even my bias but this whole album is not something that you can just casually listen to…. Because they are deeply personal and raw. Namjoon chose to be extremely vulnerable before us, and I simply can’t rate him. This is something that cannot be rated. The whole album is just a masterpiece of raw honesty and emotions.
i resonate with forg_tful, i would forget a lot of important things and somehow when things get rough i would think that i would forget about it eventually, in a way I'm anesthetizing myself which is said in the lyrics. though i benefit from it, i get frustrated at times because i forget a lot of things that people value.
He doesn’t really care about lyrics that much, which is a shame because it’s a tragedy if you don’t read the lyrics of all the songs from indigo. Namjoon’s lyricism is brilliant.
yup, closer... holy crap indeed. just finished translating it into german for the folks. at first listen i didn't even realize that there was a lot that i didn't realize. it's not an easy song to translate. a little help: ' me never on your timeline' : not being part of the other person's life. ' see you always in the limelight': my focus, my spotlight, is on you. ' don't cease, baby don't, why you floatin'? : don't stop/ quit, why are you stalling/draggin it out? ' wanna lock you up in my sight but you run away like fish' : i want to get a good look at you but you scram everytime before i can. she's hard to catch. like fish. essentially, hard to get ahold of. the RBG reference basically means he's seeing the person in his dreams, meaning dreaming of or even with her vividly, which, in turn, means he's quite aware and has some control. ' don't wake me up from sleep' : in this whole context, the only time he can see her. otherwise he'd be glad that he's starting a new day to get another chance at talking to her, wooing her, whatever. ' come holla at a yungin from the block' : basically, take the initiative. ' say the time don't wait for nobody' : passing of time is inevitable, so do the shit that you need to do while you still can. don't be a coward. the interlude is sounds of switching radio frequencies, ending in 'leave a message after the beep'. tuning into frequencies, searching and not being able to reach the other person. this isn't a call going to voicemail or they would've used the call sounds of, well, making a call. the song, the following lines are the message after the beep. boom.
I love this album it’s timeless. This song Closer, I totally see this as a summertime grove. The vibe is fire timeless. From 🇺🇸 my husband asked me who this was. 😂 I told him RM from BTS…. YUN 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Superb👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕💜💙🙏🏽🫶🏼
I'm still not over closer. Been a fan of Paul Blanco for some time now and him ft on RM's album, I was so exited. It exceeded my expectation. Tbh for me Paul carried that song! His verse is out of this world
RM like J-Hope gave us the unexpected but we were looking for something different. As well with others I will definitely be listening to several songs over &over again &again. My heart is so caught up .Got my earphones on lights out laying back and just listening. RM. YAY
CLOSER is a banger, if namjoon made this the title track and put a freaking mature MV, this would really blow up. It's like PROOF cna easily make Run BTS the title track but they didnt. These guys doesn't want a safe and easy way to the top. Putting out a meaningful song as their title tracks instead of a banger. Just amazinf, i just hoped namjoon made his lines lomger for closer, because paulblanco and mahalia reallt ate this up. Lol. The spotlight on this is equal with them 3. It's not like features anymore. But it's an amazing track it stood out for me. I might listen to this more, with No.2, but wildflower and yun will be the songs that relates to me, that calls to my inner being, such beautiful songs!
The one thing abt forg_tful is that it has that k drama ost vibe (idk but suddenly I thought abt our blue drama. This song is kinda fit for that drama) n also a summer driving song who like this type of vibe.
Thought you were a bit dismissive of RM, with the 'he was the worst on the track' and the 'western autotune' comments. Just sayin'. He wrote, produced and chose the features. It is HIS song and HIS album. The whole album tells a story, to him there is a reason for everything in Indigo.
The song closer cannot end on a compact nice clean note coz the story namjoon was trying to tell did not end on a clean note. To understand his choice u need to understand what he wanted to tell with this song.... For an artist like Namjoon ignoring lyrics is almost blasphemous.
I was enjoying the reaction until you said “the worst part was RM.” Sadly I could just tell by your reaction when he came up at the end. Rude, but I’m not surprised because you’re Jino.
5:00 "SM bridge"... HAHAHA... The same trick and format repeated so often that it's become a stereotypical, even cliché "thing" that it now has a name to be referred to as "that SM bridge"... Ha!
Closer is a killer song. I love love love it so much. It blew my mind the first time I heard it and I've listened to it probably 20xs so far and it just gets better. And those runs, an eargasm for sure.
paul blanco's feature price just sky rocketed what the hell man that guy killed it
His voice is wow!
Ikrrrr
Tbh Paul's collaboration are ALWAYS good, I've never been disappointed by his verses, this man can serve.
@@anaisc8733 as soon as I heard his vocals, I was like wow! I’d love a collab between him and JK jeje
@@giselagarza6293 Try checking out WOODZ, I would LOVE for JK to do a collab with him. :)
closer was pure surprise bc wtf was that track!! the featured artsists fit so much, SECOND VERSE ONWARDS THREW ME OFF THE BED
Namjoon did really well with closer. Such a great song. He chose his features very well too. Great production by him
Your reaction to closer is probably one of the most entertaining reactions I've ever seen you give 🤣
RM is a beautiful lyricist and has great “ears” for music. His generosity and confidence in his talent extends to knowing who he’d like as contributors. It also lends itself to letting others shine and fly ( as he’s done so many times as the leader of BTS ) but make no doubt this is RM’s album. 🔥🎤🎶
JINO's face when he realizes Paul Blanco was Korean 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOL pure gold
Paul Blanco is literally a born singer! 👍👍
He doesnt need so complicated singing technic, just put his soul in a song and sing, then a whole song completely soulfull.
Closer 💜
i like the end a lot actually it feels very emotional like joon is begging someone to stay away even as his emotions take him over. Honne produced both this and Seoul
LMFAO DJ Jino losing it over Closer made me choke on my crackers. Hes like seeing his crush walk in and ask him out and spazzin

Closer is my fave on the album, knew you'd love it!
CLOSER is a masterpiece 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this album it’s timeless. This song Closer, I totally see this as a summertime grove. The vibe is fire timeless. From 🇺🇸 my husband asked me who this was. 😂 I told him RM from BTS…. YUN 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Superb👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕💜💙🙏🏽🫶🏼
Summer Groove……Love jammin with you Jino 🫶🏼💜
Different songs, different vibe. They are all for me 😊❤
of all the vids I have never seen Jino shook as he did through the first listening of closer. love the content.
I know jino!!!! Closer blew me of..Didn't expect it
I'm still not over closer. Been a fan of Paul Blanco for some time now and him ft on RM's album, I was so exited. It exceeded my expectation. Tbh for me Paul carried that song! His verse is out of this world
RM like J-Hope gave us the unexpected but we were looking for something different. As well with others I will definitely be listening to several songs over &over again &again. My heart is so caught up .Got my earphones on lights out laying back and just listening. RM. YAY
I dont think indigo is that different from MONO. Theme is kinda similar with sounds too and this sound is very trendy as well.
Jino's face when the "Di-di-diddy-diddy-bop Di-di-diddy-diddy-bop" hits 😂
Rm sir you are a legend
My reAction was the same to “Closer.” My tie for #1 is “Yun, Closer and Wildflower.” The entire album is bangers!
I heard Closer and immediately said this is Juno’s jam
these two are my two absolute favourite bsides from the album namjoon singing is everyting for me
3 months and its still just as entertaining watching you lose your mind jino😁😁😁
CLOSER is a banger, if namjoon made this the title track and put a freaking mature MV, this would really blow up.
It's like PROOF cna easily make Run BTS the title track but they didnt.
These guys doesn't want a safe and easy way to the top. Putting out a meaningful song as their title tracks instead of a banger.
Just amazinf, i just hoped namjoon made his lines lomger for closer, because paulblanco and mahalia reallt ate this up. Lol. The spotlight on this is equal with them 3. It's not like features anymore. But it's an amazing track it stood out for me. I might listen to this more, with No.2, but wildflower and yun will be the songs that relates to me, that calls to my inner being, such beautiful songs!
I keep coming back to this almost everyday not just because of the song but also seeing jino freak out makes me so happy for some resaon😜sorry jino🙏
Same here
Jino had an eargasm while listening to Closer.
The iconic Live where babies were made and your reaction to Closer was absolutely priceless! I still love this album and listen to it often.
I watched this live but I came to rewatch Jino lose his freaking mind over Closer.
Closer is my top replayed song on the album
His reaction to Paul Blanco is exactly how I felt while listening to Closer
Closer is heaven
Hermoso Namjoon siempre nos sorprende
The one thing abt forg_tful is that it has that k drama ost vibe (idk but suddenly I thought abt our blue drama. This song is kinda fit for that drama) n also a summer driving song who like this type of vibe.
Joonie broke Jino with Closer hah loved see that
Namjoon himself is a legand his songs chiefs kiss the features uff am gonna die 😘😘😘❤️
Thought you were a bit dismissive of RM, with the 'he was the worst on the track' and the 'western autotune' comments. Just sayin'. He wrote, produced and chose the features. It is HIS song and HIS album. The whole album tells a story, to him there is a reason for everything in Indigo.
That moment when Jino realizes Paul Blanco is Korean 😁
I ALSO HAD THE SAME REACTION WITH CLOSER
Soy Jino reproduciendo Closer una y otra vez diossss esa canción es taaaannn buenaaaaaa
Forgetful, No 2 and Wildflower are my favs. 😅
Lo más importante en este álbum son las letras.
пипец я впервые вижу что он так наслаждается песней😂
он до сих пор на лайвах включает closer 😂
The end part gives Army the time to do a Cha Cha step dance! 😯😏🔥👏🏽🕺💃🏽🕺🎶🎤👑🥇♾️ #RM #INDIGO #ArmyWithLuv
lol make ur kpop producer friend listen to closer or wild flower
This song reminds me of "dont worry be happy" song.. folk pop
Tell RM that his song “Closer” need a remix seriously! That’s a hit! 🔥
Jino you gotta listen to paul blanco summer feat beo
I''ve never seen jino this affected
Probably the only time he was more affected is when he reacted to Black Swan. He was thunder struck, could not say a word at the beginning.
The song closer cannot end on a compact nice clean note coz the story namjoon was trying to tell did not end on a clean note.
To understand his choice u need to understand what he wanted to tell with this song....
For an artist like Namjoon ignoring lyrics is almost blasphemous.
weird comment to make about joon tbh
what did he say about joon?
💜
I was enjoying the reaction until you said “the worst part was RM.” Sadly I could just tell by your reaction when he came up at the end. Rude, but I’m not surprised because you’re Jino.

Namjoon is genius
