Thanks!

Taehyung’s voice isn’t just about technical perfection; it’s about the way it makes you feel. It has the power to transport you to another world, to make you smile, to make you cry & make you believe in the beauty of music.

I think this tiny desk highlights the way that taehyung sings and approaches music - he's not purely singing for sake of singing, he loves music and instrumentals too much to try to overpower in such a way. he uses his voice as an instrument to mix seamlessly with the instruments so that the musicality of the song as a whole shines, instead of simply shining himself. it creates such a full song every time, so full of love and respect for what he's doing and the people he's doing it with, and it makes me so proud of him

if there’s a main takeaway from these Layover performances it should be realizing just how much Taehyung loves music and singing live

아티스트라는 힘겨운 라인과 성적.... 본인에 생각... 많은 위에 bts는 무슨 생각을 하고 그 짐을 지고 생활 할까..아티스트 생각을 드려내준 레이오버라고 차분히 알려준 태형이 참 고맙다 그래고 너무 좋아서 순서대로 듣고 내 찬란했던 은빛 세월을 떠올렸더란다... 이리 아름다운 뮤비..... 고맙다 태형아.

That V-therapy is effective, right Bryan? Good for the soul. This Tiny Desk performance elevated Layover to an even higher level. I'm calling it Playover because I'm listening again and again and again...

V's vocal is so powerful. The sultry and vibing mood. The amount of artistry in every project he does is marvelous.

I feel the same about V, the band, and the album. This performance is amazing. Did he cast a spell on us with this album⁉️I’m so elated about music again‼️👍👍🥰💘🥰🐯👑🐻💜♥️💜♥️💜

It warms my heart that he had his vision realized and we all got to enjoy it with him, I can feel his and your happiness through the screen 💜💜

His live performances are giving me life, he's SO good

I believe the mystery instrument is a soprano sax. Jacob plays this on the flute in the studio session MV.

This entire performance is so ridiculously good!!! Absolutely amazing!!! Well done Tae and musicians!! I'm so proud of him!!!

His Voice has a way of transmitting what he is feeling he is a Great Artist his singing, dancing and acting all great . Top Preforming always. He took his time and is singing the style he loves and delivers it so perfect. Thank you for gifting us with your talents thank you for staying true to you, Shine Bright Prince you deserve all the love , heath and success 💜✌️🤩🌟🎶🔥

I knew you would love Tae's Tiny desk. That band's amazing. I wish he could release a live version of his album. To me the live version of the songs makes it 100x better. If only it was up to me!! hehe

Taehyung live is the best! You can hear his voice so clearly and all the runs - perfection! I want this version on my playlist ❤

This is Pure Art, so beautiful this performance and the V's voice is Pure Heaven 💜💜

Beautiful hermoso wonderful V un gran cantante, hermoso y hermosa voz...su voz aterciopelada.... grato escuchar...V se merece todo el éxito...

I love when Singers do this kind of performance.... where the instruments are live, and so their voice accentuates even more when they are singing live. And I love Acoustic too ❤ Taehyung's voice is really honey to ears, it's more sweet that caramel, more silky than velvet ✨ and the stability in his voice? A1 💯 Btw through other fans, I got to know Tae didn't write all these songs fully, but we can assume he would've written similar to these songs as we look at BLUE & GREY (he wrote that for his 1st mixtape/album), and his WINTER BEAR, SCENERY, 4 O CLOCK (this one was written when he had the dumpling fight with Jimin, and he was waiting for him in the park @4 😂, he revealed it through his live, and also the MOTS interview) I'll wait for the day till you eventually get to these trivial stories of them and all these hidden gems ❤❤❤ Thankyou for reacting to BTS 💜 we all are grooving with you to Tae's beautiful voice ✨

Layover gave me healing this past week. You've already see one of my dogs on twt before. And he passed away 2wks ago, just few days after Layover was released. It gave me another connection and interpretation of the album. 😢Instead of a person leaving & longing for them to comeback.. It's my furbaby to me. And FOR US rlly struck my heart in a whole another level.. OHHHH... I WISH I COULD STAY WITH YOU 🥺😫 it's like my baby's saying it to me. And KNOW THAT I WILL WAIT FOR YOU.. me saying it to her. Gosh. Layover album is my #1, yoongi will understand 💜

AMAZING performance, Tae was enjoying with his wonderful band . LOVE LOVE album Layover !

I love to see the way music touches your soul till the point of bringing tears to your eyes... the same that happens to me

His sooooo happy, V's been dreaming this 💜💜💜

That’s a soprano sax….same type that Kenny G plays 😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇨🇦

Fun fact: this was filmed before the album was released….so his first time singing the songs live!

The singer and the band both shine through. Love it!

You need react V in Band Session too. His is Amazing. With a little surprise and the end. Sorry, my english is not good.

Замечательная реакция! Так похожа на мою 😀. Бесподобное выступление!

Brian, you should also react to the band session version’s Tae did of his solo music on BangtanTV. By the way you get to listen to Tae playing the saxophone in one of the videos. Also his duet with IU is sublime, also he sang ‘slow dancing ‘ in her show and we got a guitar solo. So far we have had a flute, piano, guitar and saxophone outro for this song. Only V!

Thanks very much Brian for your great reaction, as always x Isn't this tiny desk so beautiful ? Please react to V's band session on the various songs of the album- you will enjoy them- and the very small snippet of V on sax 💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜 Borahae

Love your comment on V's music 👍😊with his sultry and soulful voice, I can't help being hooked up on his performance. Lovelots to V and followers..♥️♥️♥️

Голос просто прелесть,волшебный,чудесный ,красивый .Kim Taehyung красавчик наш. Супер,супер! Браво !!!

❤ it was nice to see your reaction and you enjoying yourself! I wonder what today’s Bryan would share with first time reactor Bryan listening to BTS music 💜 borahae

Thanks a lot for your reaction. It was really very pleasant to watch your admiration for our lovely Taehuyng. He deserves the best.

O melhor do melhor 🎉🎉um grande cantor se transformou o lindo ,maravilhoso ,gentil taehyung ❤❤um álbum estiloso e envolvente ,amo ,amo❤❤

I really enjoyed your reaction! V & his band were amazing. Thanks 💜

Браво - Ким ТэХен - Божественно - хочется слушать и слушать - СУПЕР - ЛУЧШИЙ!!!! Спасибо за реакцию.

Спасибо за прекрасную реакцию! Выступление потрясающее, джаз-группа великолепная, ну, а вокал Тэхена не описать словами. Он такой единственный и неповторимый! Плюс море обаяния и,конечно, красота, её не спрятать. Ви любит джаз, Вы, видимо, тоже, поэтому так его понимаете. Спасибо!

His voice is just amazing!!!! And his happiness is so beautiful

I need "For Us" to be at least 10 minutes long. I'm so glad you really enjoyed this. I've watched this tiny desk at least 10 times in the last week.

Yeontan is receiving hate on twitter for debuting on Mnet. The comment section is insane saying he has no stage presence and a Kpup that paved the way . The comment section was hilarious

V and the band perfect. 💜💜💜

Ty so much Brian 💜 He made an other jam session with most of the same band and it was Magic !!!!

please check v sing live with this band again in another mv

i'm smiling watch fanboy brian 😃😃..love as always

The band really incredible! Enjoyed watching with you and watching you enjoy it as well! Loved seeing Tae grooving with the band! He was definitely in his element!

Голос Taehyunga -это красивый ,прекрасный, шикарный .Прелесть .Браво!!!

V leaves plenty of room to have various interpretations of his album. While he did not write the songs for this particular album, he is a storyteller and he wanted to select songs with the right vibe that would tell a story that fits a specific time in someone's life such as romantic love. I also like the interpretation that it is a story about him and Army mentioned in the comments. I am sure we will get future work that he personally writes. He said the songs he had been writing were not working for his vision of the album. I can't wait to see what is next while I enjoy what he has already given us. I look forward to more live performances, his acting career, potential duets, and other genres.

V…he is the best❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The little smirks get me too!!! 😂💜 this performance is seriously the best thing ever!! Between these performances and the ones on IU’s palette (the version of Slow Dancing he does on IU’s palette has a guitar solo this time) idk which are my favorites, but the performance of For Us here is so stunning!! I wish he did the whole album on Tiny Desk 😭

Their songs often don't have literal meaning. Tae actually didn't write most of these songs, he was going more for the vibe. He wanted congruent songs that told a story. That way, like he said, each song built from the previous. That was his goal.

Thanks for your reaction. Taehyung is on another level with his voice! I appreciate how he can go very low with his voice or very high and his transitions are so smooth.

He was born for this style of music. He's so happy 🙂🙂

Thank you for reacting to Layover

PLS PLS CHECK OUT HIS ANOTHER LIVE PERFORMANCES. SLOW DANCING AND LOVE ME AGAIN _BAND SESSION_ ARE JUST AMAZING AS TINY DESK! HE PERFORMED WITH THIS BAND AGAIN!!

I needed this after a shitty week, thank you Bryan, your humour brought a smile to my face, especially the comment about your band teacher😆 ps, pretty sure it’s a clarinet 😉 The mix on this performance was 😘 chefs kiss. The dynamic between everyone is sooo good. I’m so glad Tae has had the chance to really show off his strengths, those lower tones are just perfect, they have a way of calming me. I can never get enough of his velvety voice and beautiful smile.

Ok, long comment on my theory. On the basis that Tae asked us to listen to the album in order of the track list. There is the obvious interpretation that the songs are about the stages of a break with someone - ‘Rainy Days’ just before it ends. ‘Blue’ the ending of the relationship as she moves to California and so wants Tannie back. ‘Love Me Again, realising he still wants the relationship and reflecting what went wrong. ‘Slow Dancing’, escaping the misery and dreaming about being happier and reminiscing about the relationship whilst he waits. ‘For Us’, the realisation the they are in separate location and they both still want the relationship and will wait for the other because he is a singer and always on the road. I see another interpretation that also fits. This is about V’s life and his relationship with army. ‘Rainy Days’ which is him (Tae) going about his normal life and missing performing in front of army, as BTS are on a hiatus and where Tannie would be present. Also the lyrics fit the idea that as there was a lot of hate and scandals about him over the last year (thinking about you - army, what to say, wish I knew how to find my way back to…). ‘Blue’ where he is V of BTS the shining idol, looking for someone and feeling blue as he will be away during military service. He also wants to get his dog back and be back to his real self. Tannie being featured is also key as he will be missing him when he enlists. ‘Love Me Again’ highlights V of BTS, the shining idol, glammed out performing and how he is missing someone/army? Asking army to love him again as scandals switched off some fans? Even a prelude to being worried that the enlistment for a long period could mean army could loose interest in him/BTS. ‘Slow Dancing’, where he is dreaming and then wakes up and is back with ‘tannie’. This is MV is almost like snapshots/memories that he is creating about things close to him, hence we see Tannie everywhere and I think there were seven people/‘friends’ including Tae, maybe representing the bts members, then the pic being just all of him, which could reflect that he is now going to be on his own when he enlists. Even the beach, travel scenes reflect his trips with the bts members as Tae is known by the members as the happiness preacher and arranges holidays for the group. Here it’s Tae and not the shining idol. ‘For Us’, the MV is an epilogue, meaning conclusion. Based on the lyrics and his outfits, this fits the relationship with someone interpretation as they are both living apart and still want a relationship, that they are prepared to wait for each other. This works when you think that V (storyline character) is an artist always on the road which would affect the relationship and the realisation that it’s can’t work. In the interpretation of V and army, this is him wrapping up his album with this final song, the epilogue, giving you memories of all the songs and MV’s. Here he is showing us the glamorous images of V the shining Idol and also when he is just Tae. He told us that he wanted to show a part of who he is as a person and what he likes on this album. So we get the stage persona and his real persona being shown to army and lyrically telling us that he has to go, he wishes he could stay, come before it’s too late, I got things to say before I go etc… this together with the amount of content he is putting out is almost a poignant goodbye to army before he enlists. The large amount of content that he is leaving for fans, to tide them over while he is away doing his military service. Remember the tattoo on his neck from the ON era, at the time he told us that army makes up theories to BTS songs, so he did the tattoo in order for us to come up with one about the tattoo. Also, BTS are known for making music that can have multiple interpretations and it’s so like V to do it, being the creative artist he is. Tae has told us the concept of ‘Layover’ and that this album is the first ‘Layover’, that he will try different genres in future albums until he reaches his final destination. The ending of this album with ‘For Us’ really makes me think that the next ‘layover’ is the military service and then we will get more ‘layovers’ aka solo music (or acting?) on his return until he gets to his final destination. Multiple storylines in one cohesive album. An album where its aim was to show us what Tae likes musically and make us scratch our heads about the storylines. For me, this album is going to be on repeat and I really want a live version of this album because these types of songs are perfect to change up in live performances, as we saw in the Tiny Desk performance. And once again vocally flawless especially in all of his live performances, they sounded even better than the studio version. What a gift he gave us.

Спасибо!!! 👍👍👍💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Great reaction Brian! I felt goosebumps too. I loved this performance so much. Everything was perfect and high quality... 😊💜

Finally got to watch this reaction and it was great as usual!! When I first watched it I think my mouth hung open most of the way through because I was so blown away by his performances!! His voice is just so soothing and the songs so good!! His voice is what drew me to BTS ans his voice keeps me here. Along the way I fell in love with all 7 of them. I am continually surprised by their musicality!! BTW, did you see on Bangtan channel there are two more live performances by V and the band and in one of them there is an extra "treat" which had me just about scream lol. I won't spoil it in case you haven't seen it yet! Thanks for an awesome reaction as usual!!

Está maravilhoso.

Thank you very much for your loving reaction.

I Love BTS 💜🇧🇷

TAE E MEU FAVORITO MAS LINDO DO MUNDO TAE E MARAVILHOSO

❤❤❤ love youuuuu V.... This live performance was soooooo amazing..... ❤

Техеееен умный талантливый красивый счастья тебе неземной нежный ласковый мальчик

He just did 2 more live videos with this same band and they're now out at Bangtantv... there's even a little surprise at the end of one of those videos... check it out! ;-)

This was an experience! I pretty much listen to it everyday at work

Love your reactions, find them very honest! ^^

I m speechless

Think that instrument was a tenor Sax but dont quote me lol. Tae is so amazing and Im with you definately a no skip album.

Bryan army, gracias por tu hermosa reacción ..

Thanks, Bryan. I like Tiny Desk in general, BTS, RM & now V in particular. I played flute and oboe in band growing up, and no one played a soprano sax. Alto was the main sax, then tenor and baritone. It wasn't until I left home that I discovered the soprano sax in bands and Kenny G has sure made a good living with it. This is so good! I just have to keep watching it.🙂

Yes, i do like your reaction, i can tell you really like music😊, thank you for this reaction and thanks to V for this amazing npr! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

💜

thank you so much for reaction V

you are right.. the band is so good.. I love it so much, I wouldn't mind buying a jazzy version of layover album now.. 😅😅

Best reaction! I had the same one. Best performance for Layover. The way V went into “For Us” gets me every time. V loves music and lets musicians shine. Amazing band, Amazing vocals, what chemistry. Perfect combo.

Great reaction Brian😊 I see that you love this as much as I do. Ahhhhh, V💜

Bring your son on the channel. Bring the kids on. All are family here.

Hi Brian when I first saw Tae and Tiny desk, I knew it was a treat but then they performed another with them all sitting down more relaxed, and it was good but not like the first and you can see they all had a good time and happy to be there.

Amo seus reacts amigo , eu assisto você desde sua primeira análise do bts e vejo que você se tornou verdadeiramente um army 😍 Nosso taehyung brilhou muito nessa performance E os músicos e os cantores do vocal que acompanharam ele são simplesmente perfeitos ,eles simplesmente dispensam comentários sem palavras pra descrever o nível do profissionalismo dessa banda Eu fico muito feliz de saber que o V tem um álbum solo completo todinho dele cantando músicas que ele gosta e eu tenho fé que um dia o jin também fará um álbum solo com muitas baladas românticas estilo anos noventa do jeitinho que ele gosta Amo todos os membros do Bts meu bias é o jimin mas as vozes e os estilos musicais de v e jin simplesmente roubaram meu coração as playlists de V e jin São minhas companheiras nos meus momentos de solidão , elas me trazem uma paz e me acalmam na depressão 🇧🇷💜🇧🇷💜

V is very, very afraid of loosing army during military, more than any other of members. So, my interpretation is that all those songs are advance sorrow of his and army's past and future (in Blue he is desperately looking for lost lover). Promise is one thing but life is LIFE...

💜💜💜💜💜 thank you for the video

That''s either an Obe or a soprano saxophone they look very similar and sound extremely similar but I think it's the Soprano

I love when you compare V and your son, it's so sweet and wholesome 💜 just a dad who loves his kid. Also, and I'm sorry I can't remember his name, has your friend seen this video? Because I really enjoyed watching you show him bts and him learning and you two viking together. And obvs this TinyDesk video needs to be shared with everyone 😊😂

V didn't write the songs , so i doubt if he was singing on a personal experience,anyway more important is the beautiful album is totally mesmerizing.

I got busy but I'm late with this reaction but I want to watch this in my not bz time coz I want to see his reaction really but the result is we are same 😅.

Clarinet.

I finally saw your stanky face on that sax solo 🤭😁🤣 but yes it is gooddddddd.. I read that is a soprano saxohone. Similar to what Kenny G uses? I think, not really sure tho..

Tae has an incredible range and pitch and can involve you in his music. I didn't like this reaction cuz you mostly were gushing over the band. I really didn't hear any critiques about the song etc.

Beautiful hermoso wonderful V un gran cantante, hermoso y hermosa voz...su voz aterciopelada.... grato escuchar...V se merece todo el éxito...

💜
