Day Seven - following the moon on its journey to BTS reunion ( including Yoongi)
( the very beautiful) Butterfly
About fading and longing, not about the moon.
Quick edit this morning to point out the moonset will be in the opposite part of the sky to the sunrise. I can't spot the moon this morning, I think it's quite low to horizon. No good in a built up area!

Day Seven - following the moon on its journey to BTS reunion ( including Yoongi)
(2) A week has passed since the full moon, and we are another week closer to RM, V, Jimin & Jungkook returning home at the next full moon. Over the next week the moon will fade away, which may bring about feelings of loneliness and despair. The next seven songs will demonstrate that, alongside C. J. Jung Map of the Soul thoughts.
This is your spoiler alert.

Edit! The moon is fairly high at its peek point between 6 and 7 am, in the south. I was looking too far west... It's where the sun would be at noon on a winters day.
( I still haven't spotted the moon in the morning, I think it's quite low) #river

Path/ road
YouTube link below, other ways to listen are available.
Because I'm also making a Spotify playlist, I've put Munbae-Dong by Epik High as a place holder. I love this song, and it has similar looking back & forward ( path) thoughts.
It's raining here today, so little chance of morning moon spotting.

Just some more thoughts on #darkness and #moonlight
In the pandemic lockdown, UK government talked about "things that happen after dark" ( meaning theatre & music gatherings) as dangerous, as if the dark was to blame.
But we tend to think of moonlight as romantic, beautiful.
The next few days, as we move towards the new moon, are dark, and on three of the four days I have #RM solos. Reflective of his writing rather than his dangerness #BTS #moon
Day Eleven - following the moon on its journey to BTS reunion ( including Yoongi)
This song makes me cry, sorry if it makes you cry. The sky was dark last night, but a tiny crescent of moon is up now in the morning sky.

A spoiler for tomorrow, this event apparently happened this morning as well, but Venus will be brightest or closer tomorrow #MorningStar #moon
I am not being geek enough to wake up to look at this, but if you have insomnia, worth looking east at 4am UK time Saturday morning? No doubt I have set myself up for insomnia now.

There are lots of BTS star songs to share in this optimistic time between new moon and first quarter, starting with ⭐
Clear skies after sunset in uk last night meant yesterday's tiny crescent was glowing on the western horizon!

Day Eighteen - following the moon on its journey to BTS reunion ( including Yoongi)
I've really analysed the translation lyrics to this over the past days. There's a lot going on. So I ended up doodling without a final plan, with the lyrics that felt best for this time. But I'd thought about all this before the Jhope Killin It photos. This is the sparkly blue I bought for HOTS vol 1. Moon phase now into night time/ stars

My Korean cows turned very big! The lyrics reversal made the moon line a bit unexceptional as a sketch, so I thought I should research Korean cattle!

Day Twenty One - following the moon on its journey to BTS reunion ( including Yoongi)
The song probably should have been earlier, in the despair of the moon fading, but it pushed it way into the joyful era of the full moon coming soon, and OT7 being back together to (hopefully) sing beautiful songs like this again.

Day Twenty Six - following the moon on its journey to BTS reunion ( including Yoongi)
I picked this for it's optimistic video and the promise of staying gold, and in reading the lyrics translation - of course the moonlught was involved! Nearly full moon.... ( The tree looks a bit like some cauliflower?!)
"this is bighit: don't go to the military bases, send wishes in your 💜 " nearly there....

Day Twenty Eight ( since last full moon) - following the moon on its journey to BTS reunion ( including Yoongi)
Every word in this song is still true, and most exciting, tomorrow RM & V come home, on Wednesday the moon completes its circuit and Jimin & Jungkook come home. I have some bonus tracks for Festa weekend & waiting for Yoongi.
Tomorrow

Bonus track for Hooray Tuesday
When I woke up in the middle of the night ( which was discharge time in SK) this retro song popped into my head, out of nowhere, it's a bit of contrast to Little Simz Free...
Hopefully time later to find a translation of the live, before Jimin & Jungkook come home
Welcome Home, Peters & Lee

Day Thirty ( since last full moon) - following the moon on its journey to BTS reunion ( including Yoongi)
And we are around to the next full moon, and Jimin & Jungkook came home. Now to countdown to Yoongi and Solstice Day
This track fits the Map of the soul/ moon circle. It also fits with some of RM's words yesterday, dealing with ego and looking forward.
Outro: Ego

Countdown to Yoongi D5
There were a lot of links there. But until last night I wasn't aware there was a part 1. I wondered why there was a part 2. And I had listened to some BTS SoundCloud things, but there's obviously lots there I haven't heard, some shared on our Facebook group yesterday - picking best hidden/ unreleased tracks.... So I spent last night reading about part 1, after the links from Doolset Bangtan took me to SoundCloud.

Countdown to Yoongi D5
Continued
Originally it was just going to be about The Eternal, and how I couldn't possibly draw anything to match that Music Video. It's so clever.
From the song:
"Tell me your every story
Tell me why you don't stop this
Tell me why you still walkin'
Walkin' with us
( Yeah we got to heaven)"
Countdown to Yoongi D4
I was so tired last night, and then I dithered about what track was right ( or wrong) for the week between Festa and Yoongi coming home. But I love 'Heaven' and it's got celestial vibes...

Side note
I'm reading this book at quiet work times
The Cave of the Yellow Dog
Also a film!!
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0432325/
It had a great quote of a Mongolian folk song, that I was going to weave into RM Heaven. Then I left the book at work. Doh.
Anyway, one day closer to Suga finishing work. Don't leave your reading book behind on Friday Min Yoongi! Clear your desk with care.
Countdown to Yoongi D3
I've got to admit I'm struggling with this week... So I've changed the song I had planned.
For some midweek motivation, and with just three days to go, and no formal discharge event planned, I bet Suga needs a bit of ANPANMAN fun as well.
Fan video, because I wanted the bouncy castle live version. And look how happy they all are, together.
Countdown to Yoongi D2
I really like this song, so I was pleased to re-read the lyrics and spot the moon! The moon will also be hanging around in the daytime on solstice Saturday... Not long now
