• HYYH: Young Forever 10th Anniversary | Free space! <3

https://musiccloud.io/ykKPS

Ten years ago, the final part of one of BTS' most iconic eras was released.

Some referred to HYYH as a departure from their previous releases then, but to me it never felt like that. Was it more vulnerable and raw compared to the School trilogy and D&W? Sure. Was there a bit of a change sonically? Of course. But to me, it just seemed like a natural progression. +

• DISC 2, Track 6 - Love Is Not Over (Full Length Edition)
- https://musiccloud.io/p7wPE

It feels strangely fitting that this is the last song that we're discussing on this album and this era, even though this technically isn't the last track on the album (that honour goes to Butterfly Alternative Mix). The FLE version for Love Is Not Over goes through a little more of a transformation compared to House of Cards, +

• DISC 2, Track 5 - House of Cards (Full Length Edition)
https://lynkify.in/song/house-of-cards-full-length-edition/81600807

I think I have said most of what I wanted to say about House of Cards during the pt.2 thread but I will talk about the changes that make the FLE feel different.

The major difference between the Outro version and the FLE version is mostly in the bridge and the third chorus, which were notably missing from the Outro version. +

• DISC 1, Track 12 - EPILOGUE : Young Forever

BTS ‘EPILOGUE : Young Forever’ MV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbvE0FV_70U

The MV has the members navigating a maze of chainlink fences as a swirl of feathers slowly rain down, physically separated but in full view of each other, interspersed with shots of previous HYYH era clips, and one by one they make their way out of it. +

• DISC 1, Track 11 - Save ME

BTS (방탄소년단) 'Save ME' Official MV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZjt_sA2eso

The MV for Save ME is for the most part a one-shot performance video, but it sure is very well-shot. Normally I would say it's a pretty dreary MV, but considering it actually was raining during shooting 1) they probably did their best with the colour grading, and 2) I think it actually adds to the atmosphere of the song 😅 +

• DISC 1, Track 10 - Burning Up (FIRE)

BTS '불타오르네 (FIRE)' MV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ujQOR2DMFM

DOPE plays in the background while the guys are hanging out in front of a chainlink fence, when a hooded figure in black approaches. Curious, SUGA jumps the fence, pulls out a portable cassette player and a pair of wired earphones. Once he's plugged the earphones into the cassette player and put them on, the sound cuts out until he's face to face with the hooded +

• DISC 1, Track 5 - Butterfly (Prologue Mix)
https://musiccloud.io/5StRk

I previously described the original track as having a fragile, transcendent and ethereal quality to it during the pt.2 thread, but the Prologue Mix somehow amplifies that feeling, despite (or maybe because of) the changes made to it—instead of being a full group track like the original, it's been transformed into a vocal line track. Instead of an abrupt start, it feels like you're being +

Cont - HMV have to have a special shelf for kpop because everything is so big. I didn't realise that for a while!!

I was quite intrigued by the Inception/ Papillion photos, they are so strong visually. And the one crossing the zebra crossing... It's like the sass of every band since The Beatles walked across Abbey Road...

What a great album.

#10yearswithhyyh Story Telling (2)

The K-pop promo machine is such an alien concept to me, as an old person from England. I used to just buy music because I'd heard about it on the radio/ TV. I suspect one might have read " another album is due soon" in a music mag/ paper.

The whole book/ photo cards/ posters/ pre release parties etc was such a novelty ( it meant when I first went to HMV to see if they had anything I couldn't find it, because the CDs obviously took big for displays...
