Lets not forget the main reason this song and album was a hit. The message. The symbolism, abt how it is derived from Demian by herman hesse, the beautiful music video that mixes several layers from theories from sigmund freud, the story of youth, this plus the explosive performance from BTS, the beautiful vocals and rap the album that talked abt their personal stories interlaced with the fictional universe they have created. The stages that breathed more story into the song. A masterpiece. Thanku for the breakdown of the song!!💜

Watching the keys on the keyboard made me think of their dance steps! As if the fingers of the player were dancing on the keys. I really liked your explanation even though I don't understand the technical parts that well, the visual guides helped a lot and made me see the song in a new light!

Though the G may be missing, I am more inclined to see that B9-5(no3rd) as an inversion of G9-5 which would be the dominant of C-, in a tasty jazz-inspired voicing. The cadence is delayed by the VIIb (the Bb5), but this is how (my) ear processes the sequence.

Tumpperi it doesnt matter which order the notes are in

@tumpperi3891 4 жыл бұрын

Of course it does, everything is related to the bass note. Where do you think the name of the chords come from? Yes there are inversions, but in this case its not an inversion 👀. Edit: you can kinda think it as an inversion, but since the bass note is not G the function of the chord changes

@911SWIM 4 жыл бұрын

Tumpperi whoever taught you that mislead you. The order of notes does not affect the function of the chord. It only changes the stability. A dominant chords dissonance can be emphasized with a non chord tone in the bass.

@tumpperi3891 4 жыл бұрын

@@911SWIM that would be true wth triads and most of the extended chords I agree. But since its a sus chord the order of the notes actually change the chords function. They share the same notes, which is why it can be confusing. This specific chord doesnt sound or function as a dominant. And the bass note is the reason why.

Kpop is so sloppy. a repeat of a boring progression. Then they add junk after junk to thicken the same progression to finally end. I can't stand it. It's like a pop style designed to rip off the SAME exact progression in EVERY pop music from other genre's. I think it's back to the 80s and American POP.
