his father wasn't all that into the idea of him going into the artistic path and their family didn't have enough money for his dancing lessons as it was, so his mother took another job in another city (or province, i don't remember) to pay for it. she put her blood, sweat and tears into helping him achieve his dream and he became known for his ability as a dancer. i'm very thankful to his mum.

I love this song by Hoseok. His lyrics are emotional, but he said he wanted to make this song more fun and in his own way, not emotionally. And the result was a beautiful masterpiece like "MAMA". I cried a lot when I first heard the song. When J-Hope gave this performance, it was February 18, that is, his birthday. His mother was also in the audience, so it was a very emotional moment.

I always felt the song painted an audio picture of his childhood: the instrumental being so upbeat & happy shows the face his mom showed to the world and her family; the lyrics are the reality of her life; the "breakdown" sections (sorry I don't know what else to call them) are both her exhaustion where her mask slips as well as Hoseok realizing exactly what his mom did so he could have the happy childhood he's nostalgic for and his devastation & gratitude for her.

I agree! He completely owns the stage the entire time

J-Hope has such a huge bag of tricks that he can pull from. He just has so much character in his voice and can do so many things with it. And then he’s such a dynamic performer so he really commands a stage and pulls in the audience. And he’s so unique. Imagine someone trying to cover this?? Or any song of j-hope’s?? There’s just no way. He’s so impressive to me. I also appreciate you mentioning the fact that this was a difficult beat to rap over. I’m sure it’s his dance background but he has great musicality and can just feel how to create rhythms that work with and enhance any beat.

happy, bouncy, fun with serious lyrics is the perfect description of j-hope himself in a metaphoric way so the fact that you described this song that way just shows that - as you said - these songs are great expressions of the members themselves. MAMA doesn't have much of his more serious rapping but it's very vocally fun. it's probably my favourite solo song of his from the bts releases (excluding his solo mixtape hope world)

One of my favorite things bout BTS is just the sheer creativity and types of styles they use and combine. I have always bounced around what I listen to musically and they are the first group that is diverse enough I never get bored. They lyrics are meaningful but JHope in particular uses such an upbeat sound it makes me smile. As a mom this makes me hope one day my kids think of me even a fraction as well, and that I can give them this level of support and care.

As a daughter of a woman who gave her blood sweat and tears for me, who loved me with everything she had and gave me everything she could not because of a sense of responsibility but of pure uninterested love MAMA always hits me hard. Only my family know how many times we didn't have a single thing to eat or how to pay the rent and she just figured things out, hurting without letting anyone know just to give me and my siblings a better tomorrow. Is a song that makes me cry and smile at the same time.

He makes old-school sound so cool. Who else mixes big-band swing with hip-hop scratch and gospel choir? Please listen to the extended version of Blue Side that j-hope released in March. Like this song, it's hard to put a finger on why I'm so captivated, but I can't stop listening. J-hope infuses melancholy with peace and hope and throws in a hypnotic wind chime for ear candy.

Thank you for your hard work on this one! It was so rich in content, since you brought in the instrumental knowledge and even compared it to the vocal line(?!)... So creative, Andrew!

If I'm remembering correctly, BTS members used to just talk about the movie Home Alone when they first visited NY. Tons of Bari 🎷 in that soundtrack, I bet. Taking it one step further, j-hope's songs tend to be really rhythm driven because he tells stories like a street dancer would IMO, so maybe he used these nostalgic old school sounding instrument chops to create a rhythmic pattern for the story about his Mom. 🤔 I always wondered if church is important to her, since he incorporated the choir parts and the stained glass staging. ALSO- Your revelation face *might* become a meme. I'm warning you now. 👀 In case other ARMYs wanna know, Ghost Band drummer's name is Khan Sikyoon.

I just noticed that with time I have started singing along to your theme tune which always plays over your title card 😀 The "feed the YT algorithm" edit still gets me every time 🤣 You being intriguied by the instrumentation and the music made me think of one of the members passing in front of J-Hope's studio and hearing "weird" noises.

This is such a sweet song, it's hard not to get emotional even though it's so upbeat. He's telling his mom that he appreciates what she did for him so that he could pursue his dream and that now she can lean on him/he can take care of her. Thank you for the explanation on the instrumentation, it's really cool how BTS is not afraid to try stuff, I find. And Hobi is a hidden weapon when it comes to vocals. Those ad-libs in the live versions were no joke. I did find this video while I was looking up live versions in anticipation and now I'm never going to see a performance of Mama without imagining Jin doing the choreo under the stage while he waits for his turn (his song "Awake" was next in the set). He's too cute. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqVl17Oamsuuk5c.html

Jhope's whole character story (not in real life) in the BTS universe is about how he was abandoned by his mother with nothing but a snickers bar (which is why he is surrounded by snickers in the fake love mv. The snickers represents his last hope) and because of that, he lives in an orphanage for about ten years. He was diagnosed with Munchausen syndrome which means he fakes sickness for attention and in the short film for MAMA we see that when he takes his medication, the song is being played in the background whilst he sees a bunch of colours, showing all he wants is his mother to recognise him and give him attention (which kind of juxtaposes why he actually wrote the song for his mom in real life). You're right that it's supposed to have a nostalgic feel. His character is trying to remember the feeling of a mother and the feeling that he lost 10 years ago whilst in real life he is remembering the support that his mother gave him all his life. I just wanted to put this here because every member has a certain character that they play in the BTS universe and I think Jhope's character is just so interesting.

What always blows my mind is that Hobi joined BTS as a dancer who could sing. No real rap experience and NO music production experience. (As of a couple of years ago, he could not read a score.) So, to see what he has been able to create and perform is even more impressive. He has a really nice voice, and does a lot of backing vocals as well. So talented and hard working.

That's amazing! I love learning more about them and their processes. Hearing solo songs makes me understand them better as people too, I think

I agree!! 😀

Thank you ❤️😍

It's a combination of hip hop and ragtime/swing, I think? That's the nostalgic vibe I'm getting. Also the intro/chorus makes a great ringtone, lol

Jhopes voice is unique

I loved your comparison of the instruments with the tannies voices to explain the tonal (?) differences

Loved this reaction, thank you so much Andrew!! JHope is such an incredible performer! 💜 The band that plays with BTS are called Ghost and the drummer is named Khan, another reaction channel called Waleska Herrera interviewed Khan. if you're interested, I'll leave a link to that video below. kzread.info/dash/bejne/noaGzrSxZZyup7w.html

wow I love your analysis on how the sax and tape recorder etc creates nostalgia

thank you for reacting to BTS :)

Thanks for the reaction, interesting as always! Hobi is such a wonderful young man, he makes you want to smile just looking at him so his music reflects his character. Love them all. Now, I've just found or re-listened to an interesting one, this one has weird musical arrangements which I thought right up your alley. Almost makes me feel uncomfortable, but that might have been the intention when you look at the lyrics. Unfortunately Doolset doesn't seem to have the proper lyrics so its a colour coded video. I'm sure one of the lines should read 'I remember' not 'I rewind' but I could be wrong. It's one of their earlier ones from Dark & Wild era so thought of you to help make sense to what I'm listening to! Here's the link: Outo: Does that make sense? kzread.info/dash/bejne/pWyDzqyqdJm-ntI.html Looking forward to this one!

You may check also their Spine Breaker MV where all the members made this MV while they were in their hotel room in Chile. The making was so much fun as you can see them enjoying their stuff and just having fun. The song is about social issues. I also included the link for the explanation of the song.

Thanks for the recommendation! Spain is easily one of my favorite modern jazz songs, but I don't think I've ever heard of Gary! This should be exciting 😀

Thanks for the instrumental breakdown! It was really informative. Learned a lot about choosing the right instrument to evoke the right feelings in a song

타지 means not strange place it means out of state or far away so j hope’mom went to work far away from home so she can not commute from home to work that is the meaning of 타지 how come nobody correct this wrong translation for this long years

the producers of this song is pdogg and primary. suga is the only member which i can guarantee that all the solo songs are produced and written by him. i think only a little wasn't self produced but still he wrote the melody and lyrics. Yoongi is a true artist who can create his own sound and style from his songs
