Too Much: Initial Thoughts

Here's a link to the mv for any that missed it:

I want to make it very clear: it's extremely rare for me to actually like music on my first few listens. I am not educated in a musical sense. I just like what I like.

Initial reaction: I'm bored. Nothing in the production stands out to me. Interesting choice to have JK sing first, basically uninterrupted for the opening.

Rewatch with the lyrics: uhhh, I'm getting the impression of a whiny lazy boy...but not in a compelling way. The lyrics don't impress me but they also don't tip my crude/hate senses either. I think that feeding more into my boredom impression. I think I'm getting a hint that the musicality may grow on me with more listens but it's far too early tell. I may just need to find the right combo if songs to listen to before and after.

Random other thought: in the past 2-3 months I've been trying to open myself up to kpop music outside of BTS. I wasn't able to listen to any music at all throughout my day today though but a song is going through my head as I've been writing this after my two listens of Too Much. It's Happy Death Day by Xdinary Heroes. I haven't yet decided if I like this song enough to put it in a Playlist outside of my recommendations one but I did hear it earlier this week. Odd that it would pop up now...

On another random side note: I woke up from a nap right before listening this. While I regularly have vividly bizarre dreams, BTS-related events haven't been a part of them yet. Anyway this one was like I was onset for filming a series of Jimin Music videos. It was a big fantastical storyline connecting several songs taking place on a pirate ship with Jimin being the lead swashbuckling hero...and playing an intricate piano built into the ship. Oh and Tim Curry was there singing as well...

Anyway, there's my random initial thoughts of Too Much. Probably tmi regarding my personal headspace but it feels relevant...
