this is what make andrews channel unique. i wish more ARMY would follow him.

The levels of complexity they will go to create things like the duality between Save Me and Im Fine with the lyrics, the chords you founds how the image works in the MV. This is why even a song that sounds simple like Save Me will take you down a rabbit hole. And then you get the vocal talent plus rap talent like how fast Suga raps and RMs flow it’s just 7 insanely talented but also who care about art and hidden Easter eggs. And yes Sugas fast flow does things to us … no matter how many songs we see it in. My favorite songs that work together are the whole Persona/Shadow/Ego solos of the rapline. There are lyrical question answers (One asks a question in one song that’s answered in another) among the three songs.

I'm Fine has very powerful lyrics. It helped me during my darkest moments. The choreo is also one of the best. The moves adds to the meanings in the song. The song is about the self but BTS are seen helping each other. In other words, stressing that a good mental health start with our own positive thinking but no man is an island and support by others is important too. Don't try to walk alone.

A fun fact about the last pose of I'm fine...at the end of the performance all the members are positioned in one direction, except for rm, the leader, who is looking at his members🥺💜🥺

- You should watch the Bangtan Bomb about the filming of Save Me. How they have to run around the camera while freezing their butts off in a thunderstorm but still wanting another shot for perfection. - That’s not Suga rapping fast believe it or not. 😁 You should try some of their more hardcore rap songs like Cyphers 1-4 (especially no 2) or their solo projects: Suga (=Agust D) - Agust D RM - Joke J-Hope - 1 Verse - Glad you caught all the "mirroring", just like the ambigram. Their attention to detail is just unbelievable. - If you look at the choreography you'll notice that Save Me is done solely as individual dancing where as in I'm Fine they play off of each other more and more, pulling each other up and supporting each other. Also, they end Save Me fallen to the ground but standing up together in I'm Fine. It's such a cool contrast. - If you get a chance to go to their concert you should definitely learn the general fanchant so you can scream along. 😂 It's their real names + BTS in this order (leader and then by age): Kim Namjoon Kim Seokjin Min Yoongi Jung Hoseok Park Jimin Kim Taehyung Jeon Jungkook BTS Cool breakdown as always...and thank you for feeding the guys. 😂 💜😎👍💜

So much to say! - I had never seen that color coded breakdown of the lyrics. So cool! - I love how excited you were about the one-shot video. Good catch so early in the video. - I had always heard that the music was reversed in I'm Fine, but I thought people were referring to the beginning, where they literally play the intro to Save Me backwards. I had never taken the time to examine the actual intervals in the melodic line of the accompaniment. Form and Analysis was one of my favorite courses in college, so I am a little disappointed in myself for not recognizing it. Thank you for pointing it out. - "He's rapping so fast!" That's me literally EVERY TIME I listen to this song. Also, on the studio track, I think he does the whole thing in one breath. That's probably impossible to do with the choreography, but he does do the second part in one breath, even after the intense dancing. - After you pointed out that the order of the rappers was reversed, I realized that the singers were reversed in the chorus as well. - One thing to note when you watch Save Me again is how the choreography in J-Hope's verse matches the ad-libs a couple of times . I so enjoy watching your reactions! You give me perspectives that my inner inactive musician lives for! I look forward to everything you post. If you wanted to start a $1 Patreon for BTS's reality content, I would be the first one to sign up and I think others would as well.

Just started watching and got the point you're saying how people were talking about what Caitlin found in the Fake Love MV was an ambigram, I don't know if anyone said this in the comments of that video too (or if you'll say about knowing it yourself later in the vid...) But Save Me came out as a new song in 2016 in their mostly compilation album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life : Young Forever so we had an idea what the Save Me in the their Fake Love MV was likely referring to, however when we realised it was an ambigram we didn't know that I'm Fine would even become a song, nevermind the fact that the ambigram was also a huge hint to the way their lyrics/music connect too. 🤡 They really just slapped a huge teaser right in their MV we can't trust anything x') Oh, speaking of, there's also another way the songs mirror eachother like an ambigram too; just like Save Me was a new song in a compilation album, so was I'm Fine as it released in their compilation album Love Yourself : Answer. 🤡 They have us questioning everything. Edit : Ooooh! Great job recognising the video's a one take! 👍🏻 Edit 2 : Oh gosh, yes, very tired and wet and cold x') there's a behind the scenes video for it where they're all shivering and preparing their movements behind the camera too to make it all flow well and not trip eachother up, it really shows how hard they planned the MV as they practiced so much to do it in one take and at the right time of day too... 💀 Edit 3 : I was waiting for you to notice it was reversed! So glad you added yourself realising it afterwards x') a lot of us had that same feeling like we'd heard it before but couldn't place from where in our first listens to the song. Edit 4 : I had to pause from laughing at your jaw dropping at Yoongis rapping, hilarious x') guess I'm going to unpause to you saying what you started the video with now hahaha that was great x')

I'm fine got me through a very dark period in my life. I'd put it on my headphones and repeat it in my head like a mantra as it played. Till the day came when I began to know that I really was fine. This is a very special song for me.

The rap of Suga in I'm fine is mi fav, I remember the first time I listened I watched in loop like 10 times. This 2 songs still in my fav playlist.

your shocked face on Suga's rap was priceless lol I've been so busy these weeks that now I'm on a maratone of the reactions I lost, because you've been the only one who besides reacting was able to teach things that only make me appreciate more and understand more the art that is their production. you definitely need to see more fanchants, it's beautiful because we're part of the songs and that's a huge level of unity between fans and artist. just out of curiosity, you can watch the behind the scenes of this video and see how it was made (and how funny it is to see the boys running after the camera)

The choreos are also reverse- in ‘Im fine’ they are often saving each other, picking each other up when they fall down. In ‘Save me’ the moves and gestures are confident, powerful and individual as if they are just fine 😏

Yes. I'm sure everyone has told you, but you need to see the making of Save Me. It is funny and awesome at the same time and I developed a deep respect for the cameraman. It shows that BTS' crew is just as talented as the boys are.

I LOVE how you always add one or more jaw dropper moments in your videos…I mean the notes backwards, mirrored lyrics?…your reactions add so much to what is already a rich listening/ watching experience.

I'm from the old school hip-hop era so I really vibe with RM's style. The BTS rappers all have their own flair which blends so well together

Like, really smart. These two songs and how they answer to each other in the lyrics, the music, the construction up to this title that you can reverse, this is just genius. And the songs are so good, in addition. The choreographies too, the MV (yes for the one-take, I agree with you, I really like this kind of things) everything is so good and connected/coherent. This is why BTS are so special, in my opinion, you won't find everywhere an artist doing things like them. Thank you so much for your reaction, I really enjoy them so much and I can't wait to know what you'll see from them next, there is so much good songs from them ! :D Have a wonderful day :D

Also I truly love your reaction to Yoongi's fast rapping - that it was literally jawdropping for you! haha it was SO relatable. He is truly a beast when it comes to rapping! I also feel like you're truly starting to see why many people who may not otherwise like rap music, LOVE the BTS rappers and just how truly diverse they can make each song and person sound. I personally liked a few rap songs back in my high school/college days, but never felt the need to listen to them outside of clubs or parties or dig deeper into the genre. I will literally listen to ANYTHING the BTS rappers put out and enjoy the vast majority of it.

18:43 Oh true! Wow so many details, this duo is such a masterpiece (like all their work lol)

actually if you read the lyrics for both songs, one of the verses in each are mirrored just like the notes i'll put both with the original order of lines, but mark each line with a number, so you can see which are connected Save Me: 1 - Thank you for letting me do me 2 - For letting me fly, for giving me these wings 3 - For straightening out me who was crumpled 4 - For breaking me out from suffocating, for waking me up from living purely in my dreams 5 - As when I think of you the skies clear 6 - I gave away my sadness 7 - Thank you for becoming us I'm Fine: 7 - It's fine, even if it's not us 6 - Even if my sadness erases me 5 - And the dark clouds hang over again 4 - Even if i'm in an endless dream 3 - And I become endlessly crumpled 2 - And my wings become torn 1 - Even if one day I'm no longer me, it's fine, i'm still my own salvation the whole path of Save Me and I'm fine is breaking the concept of relying on someone else to bring you happiness and becoming your own hero amazing and genius

"I'm fine" is the reversal of "Save Me" so let's do the same with the music. 🤯 I went don't the rabbit hole with you. In the choreography I kept noticing the jump went backwards. I rewound back to save me and sure enough they reversed the choreo of the chorus.

The opening part in i'm fine is kinda longer than the studio version, maybe to emphasize the "recorder playing in reverse" feel since it is the same opening as save me (idk if it is really the same one but got reversed or they just tweak the sound to get the feel of it). I'm fine is already been hinted since save me's release, so army was really excited when the song is finally coming out and we got to discover the connections between these songs. Your reaction are always so insightful, i even got a "ohhh, so that's what it is!!" Moments and feel the same joy like i did when i first hear the songs. It's really fun ^^

They did get it all in one shot all if you noticed that their hair was wet during the mv shooting it had started to rain there is actually a behind the scene video with them playing in the sand and you could see that it was raining Also for one of the MV’s that they have for their song ON is all one shot And every time I hear one of their songs like I’m Fine and their other song Blue & Gray the end of those almost give off the feeling of being a cliffhanger also their song Blue and Gray is a really good song it has a lot of meaning and the song along with Dynamite are in their BE album and All those songs were written during quarantine like their song Life Goes On gives off a message that they can’t wait to perform face to face with ARMY, Blue & Gray tackles some major topics as well

Suga's verse in I'm Fine is so hype! I love it. It was already mentioned by someone else, but you would appreciate the behind the scenes filming of Save Me. Could have been a miserable day for them, but they manage to have some kind of fun anywhere in any circumstance, which is nice to see. (: Anyway, thanks for another great reaction.

When you were geeking out while realizing it's a one shot take, I was smiling and nodding like a geek too hahahaha

Wow 😝🔥 I just love how invested you are in the music, sometimes when I watch your videos I learn about things I never noticed before so thank you for low key being my music teacher 💯. Also if you are facinated by Suga's fast rapping or what we refer to as tongue technology I suggest you check out: Agust D (the song) Daechwita Cypher pt 2 He really did a number on those 🔥🔥

You may watch the BEHIND THE SCENES and you’ll be surprised how they did that

wowwww I didn’t know that reverse part🤯🤯🤯 plus I didn’t know you’re into raps, that’s suga’s “tongue technology” there for you😂

Hahaha I didn't know I was that into rap until recently 😅

This is an amazing reaction. Didnt know about the reversed notes and thank you for pointing it out, only a musically inclined person would know I guess. More amazing is the effort the boys have put in for this. Do we even deserve it? There's also about the opening choreography where Jhope was holding Tae's head, and the way they executed the whole choreography is impressive, as always.

Andrew: Wow, he rapped so fast ARMY: Wait till he hears Cypher 2 😉

The rap verses in Save Me are Yoongi, Hoseok and then Namjoon and in I'm Fine they're Namjoon, Hoseok and then Yoongi. Also Namjoon's verses in Save Me and I'm Fine are basically dialog. The verse in I'm Fine is directly talking about the lines in his verse in Save Me but reversed. Save Me: Thank you for letting me be myself For enabling me to fly For giving me wings For straightening me out, who was wrinkled For breaking me out when I was feeling suffocated For waking me up when I was solely living in a dream Because when I think of you, the sky clears I've given away a thing, such as sadness (Thank you, for becoming 'us') I'm Fine: It's okay, even if we aren't 'us' Even if sadness erases me and dark clouds come again Even if I'm in an endless dream and get wrinkled an endless amount of times and my wings get torn Even if I end up becoming someone other than myself It's okay because only I am my own salvation

Save me is an answer song to im fine,also they made an ambigram of it for on of their performances. That's a genius. Love your reactions. Welcome to the bts world!

I think RM's verses are sheer genius. They are exactly reversed from each other in these songs. This man is a great lyricist and master of his language. (I used Dolsetbangtan for the translations) Save Me: Thank you for making me be me for making me fly for giving someone like me wings for folding me up who was crinkled for breaking me who was feeling stuffy for waking me up who lived in my dreams only Because the sky clears up when I think of you, I gave my sadness away (Thank you for becoming ‘us’) I'm Fine: It’s okay even if it’s not us, even if the sorrow erases me, even if the sky gets covered with dark clouds again, and I’m in an endless dream Even if I get endlessly crumpled, even if my wings get torn apart, and I become someone that is not me, it’s okay- only I am my own salvation I never die but live on with my fierce gait How you doin? I’m fine My sky is clear All my pains, say goodbye Goodbye

Woah. I’m fine in reverse. That is wild. BTS is mind blowing! I love how everything is related.

Wow you caught the one shot thing before watching the behind the scenes of the music video. Love the reverse order, too. Thank you!

Yes, Suga can rap THAT fast😂

This Suga part in I'm fine is one of my favs and first time, I was like you 😲🤯 and go back like minimum 5 times....

I love how much you spazzed about the one shot mv. One shot mv enthusiastist!!!!

ANDREW I’m screaming ~I love this song duo and have since I’ve heard them. I also am loving your first exposure to our fanchants. To me the note reversal has been one of my favorites pieces of BTS and it’s one of the ways they tie pieces together. Great job. CFA

14:39 I just found out about this. BTS still finds ways to surprise me

"I really want to focus on" reminds me of jk iconic "we want to focus on..." 😆😆😆

If you watch the Save Me Shooting sketch the channel Bangtan Subs has English subtitles.....on BangtanTV it does not have subtitles because it was before they started putting them on official videos...but it is worth the watch...yes it was one shot and terrible weather which I think looked great in the end and added a lot to the feel of the video but must have been so hard to work in....they are amazing! This is still one of my favorite songs. Boy meets was a teaser for Boy Meets Evil. Wow I never realized those notes were reversed like that.....that is amazing and that you could hear it was also amazing! Yes Suga can rap so fast....if you want to see another amazing fast rap clip from Suga search for Min Yoongi fast rap cypher pt 2...he is very amazing and he rapped it at a rate of 9.38 sps.

Wow that was so interesting! I would have never figured out the reverse notes, that is so cool!! 🙂 there is a video about how Save Me was made and it is fascinating. Borahae you guys 💜💜💜

Right, I’ve had a couple of weeks off so I apologise for the length of this in advance and advise you to settle in 🤣 I just have so much to say! Too much some that know me might add 😅 It’s now a requirement to set aside uninterrupted time to enjoy (and pause constantly). I just find it so hard to watch your videos and not have a full on conversation with myself in the comments lmao. I loveee your reaction when noticing it’s a one shot video!! I’m embarrassed to say how many times I watched it before realising because I was too focused on the dancing and didn’t notice anything else but your appreciation of it felt like we were watching it for the first time again with you. The behind the scenes of the MV shoot is brilliant watching them all scurry around behind the camera to the right positions take after take if you fancy watching something in your own time. The Save Me dance break with the fan chant is just something else, the energy I feel like it creates is insane and would be awesome to experience in person. The story development across the two songs and the musical transition between the two makes me want to cry (happily) and the ambigram is just so darn cool and I’ll never not hype it haha. It’s so beautiful artistically that I wish we had some more content on how it was created. 괜찮아 was the first word I learned in Korean because of this song and loving the pre-chorus and then because of that, it gets the award of one of the first (and only) words I actually sang along to correctly in a BTS song 😂😂 J-Hope and Suga’s part in I’m Fine could quite possibly be my favourite part of any BTS song ever and I’ll be forever mad it’s not longer. It’s top five for sure, but I feel like I’m always going ‘oh this is my favourite’ to the songs you pick for your videos so I’ll put a disclaimer in. The lyrics, the rhythm, particularly Suga’s part… There’s just something about it that no matter what I’m doing, I have to rewind to listen to it twice. Since I’ve been anticipating this reaction possibly coming some day since you saw Save Me recommended, I just have to add that I’m Fine is in my top 10 BTS songs of all time and I’m so glad you did both in this video. It’s on my every day walking to and from work playlist because the lyrics and story to the song, as well as the song itself, are such a mood booster. I can’t listen to it and not feel better off in some way after. It was one of those songs that I heard for the first time and then played about ten times in a row straight after that because it was such a bop and I wanted to hear it again and again and feel those feelings. Having said that, it just really hits differently when they’re played together. The same way if you have a favourite album, you anticipate the next song because you know the track list by heart, these two go hand in hand so wonderfully. The way they’ve composed the songs, I can’t listen to Save Me without my brain then waiting for the start of I’m Fine which I think really is genius… but somewhat disappointing since I’m always on shuffle. One of the most oft repeated things I remember reading about BTS when I first found them is that nothing they do is unintentional or by accident and I find that that mindset makes me appreciate the music and their work infinitely more. I know people could say that about a lot of artists and their work, but it’s different for me with BTS. They work in the tiny tiny details and play the long game for sure, even years apart. Everything you pointed out in the Save Me/I’m Fine combination I think is the perfect example of that whether it be musically or lyrically. You radiate so much genuine joy and glee while watching BTS that your (and Caitlin’s) videos are just a guaranteed pick me up. So as always, huge thank you for doing what you do and for falling down the rabbit hole!

Oh my god, I love this comment!!! I can't possibly respond to all of it (😂) but I agree that I want to watch the MV shooting now and these two songs really do go so well together. I also listen on shuffle and know exactly what you mean! I looked into the lyrics a bit and love how they did it. I knew I shouldn't even bother talking about them much just because there are so many better versions out there. Thank you as always for your comment! I also think the Sope moment in I'm Fine is the best part and I always want to hear it twice 😂

Great reaction 🤗 I'm surprised so many people in the comments didn't know that I'm fine's notes were a reverse version of 'Save me', I thought it was a well-known fact in the fandom 🤔 But it actually makes sense since it's kind of an underrated song :/ RM talked about it on Vlive in his review of the album 'Love Yourself: Answer' if you guys want to check it out.

So cool how you pointed out some things that I didn't catch after all this time. Matter of fact, I haven't heard any other reactor catch these things either.

I like how the.... the part of Save ME, if I say this song goes "A", "B", "C", then "Pre-chorus" and "Chorus", the "C" part (where V starts singing) sounds grand and seamless, and if we listen carefully it almost sounds like 3/4 +5/4 instead of 4/4. The magic of time is working beautifully.

thank you for the reaction!! hope we get to see war of hormone and more of their older music from you too :]

I can't imagine what your reaction would be to their fast rap. If you thought that part was a fast rap, omg, you have a shock waiting for you. The fastest I heard of them was RM's Joke but the Cypher series is also amazing. Thank you for a fun-packed reaction. It's nice to see your ARMYism grow.

Going back in to watch this and comment... Actually is really special today. I stayed at work late (nonprofit) because someone came to our door at the end of their rope. Lots of things going wrong for this person family wise, health, addiction, you name it... But the important thing is, this person reached out and said, "I need help," for the first time today. To be a part of their journey towards, "I'm fine," was a real blessing, and so I take your video landing in my universe (so to speak) today as extra special. 💜 THE TINY BUNNY INTRO 🐰 🥺 How excited you were at the one-take style 😆😆 was thoroughly entertaining. Looking forward to your seeing all the hard work behind it. I reeeally want to share Ghost Band's version of "Save Me" with you, but that'd spoil Tiny Desk, so I'll have to put on my patience hat!! 🤠 I *just now* noticed the BG vocal run at 6:35 -37 🙌🏻 You know, I never particularly expect you to comment on the rapline, but you always have interesting things to say. I would say 'typically' RM's lines are standouts, j-hope's are either more musical or play with rhythm, and SUGA tends to be the speed 😈. So is this the part where I admit that I don't actually like "I'm Fine"? 😃 Yeah! I don't. I appreciate it for sure, but I don't genuinely enjoy the song. (Live version I like a little more.) Phew! Ok, no lightning bolts got me. Well, that said, I do appreciate the relationship between these songs, and I was excited to see your reaction. It did not disappoint at all! You continue to impress me with these breakdowns. (No pressure... 🤭) The way you visialized the inversion of the notes (is that the right way to put it?) was so easy to understand. Plus picking up on how the rappers were in reverse order - wow! I luv that you heard the fanchant in action. Time to learn it. 😁 (Not too difficult for someone with a sense of rhythm, since Korean names are 3 syllables.) 😅 Your reaction to Yoongles in IF is priceless. Watching this inspired me to look into doing a choreo breakdown of "I'm Fine" sometime soon. So, congratulations, I'll be listening to it more now. 😂 CFA

That definitely makes sense... I tend to like fun rhythms and speed 🙃😸 You know what's funny, is I focused so much on the connection in the two songs probably because that was the best part (besides the lightning Yoongi) I'm glad the reactions are still impressive 😀 idk how long I can think of new things, but I'll do my best! 😅 And please do the dance analysis! I'd love to read about it 😀

The standard fan chant is their names, starting with RM, then from oldest to youngest, then BTS: Kim Namjoon, Kim Soekjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook, BTS 🙏 Yeah, Yoongi is a really fast rapper, with great flow, and an amazing sense of rhythm - in one of the Cyphers, he raps at around 9 syllables per second - not “the fastest” in the world, but impressive nonetheless especially considering 5e clarity of his rap, and the way he drives the rhythm 🤷‍♂️ This was awesome, thanks Andrew - always learn something new from you 💜💜 Hugs to Caitlin

Yoongi and his fast flow 😅😅😅

I love how save me is a sad song but it has a very bright dance ..and I'm fine is a bright song with a sad dance.. it's like showing contrast in how we feel .just like when we cry cos we're happy ..and even when we feel sad we dont lose hope 💜💜💜
