Quick Combo - Tumblr Posts
QUICK COMBO: LETTER | SPRING DAY | YOU NEVER WALK ALONE
My thoughts on this QC (below cut):
Wasn't planning to make a combo post today but the of my state of mind and the Playlist made it need to happen. I'm generally not one to show emotion but if I'm on the cusp of expressing my feelings and need help pushing myself to get it out, music absolutely helps me follow through with it.
I think this combo is pretty self-explanatory and I don't really want to share any of my deeper feelings here today but I will say one thing:
How come NO ONE ever talks about You Never Walk Alone??? I only found out about that song in my initial journey after playing BTS World. There's a screen you can open and it will play an endless loop of the backing/instrumental of YNWA and sometimes I just open that because it's so absolutely lovely. I adore this song and I fond it a shame that it's not mentioned more. (It's the only reason I'm spending a ridiculous amount of money for a hoody that I may never actually wear but that's beside the point!)

Go find Letter, the album version.
Bringing this back in honor of the upcoming anniversary of Take Two. If you're interested in melting into a puddle of ooey gooey love, here's a combo for you. Oh and you can add Closer Than This at the end as well.
Happy Festa month! I can't wait to see what we get!
QUICK COMBO:
PROMISE | LETTER | TAKE TWO
(Technically I've recommended this order before but now I have custom gifs!)
My thoughts on this QC:
Promise was always my ultimate favorite song and it killed me having to navigate to SoundCloud and not just have it in my spotify playlist (to help with the stats at least). I had a few weeks of joyful ignorance once it was made available on Spotify before FACE and Letter...
I don't think words exist to describe how much Letter speaks to my soul. I have never been a huge 'on repeat' person but i can NEVER listen to Letter just once. Each time it ends, i think that i didn't appreciate it properly and have to listen again...usually for quite a few iterations.
Take Two is a nice little cap to this combo. I just want to melt in a puddle of joy and love when listening to these songs.

(I cannot wait until the album version of Letter is on spotify. It's my only hope that one day it will be. For now, here's Jimin's live version.)
For any of you looking to stream Closer Than This in preparation for MUSE, here's a combo.
QUICK COMBO: HOME | FOR YOU | CLOSER THAN THIS
My thoughts and Listening Links below the cut:
I have always adored Home. It's the absolute definition of the word cozy in musical form. I believe JK once said that Jimin carried this song in the development process and I completely believe it. This performance on Jimmy Fallon was absolutely wonderful too. Charming and technically impressive at the same time, exactly the qualities that sets BTS apart from the rest.
For You is another track I don't listen to very often but when it does come up, I never skip it. (Side note, is this mv supposed to be part of the BU? There's a lot of the elemental subtext for each of the members there...)
Closer Than This is exactly what I personally needed at this time of year. Jimin has given me the perfect christmas gift and the video was an excellent choice and execution as well. I may do a longer post just on it later but for now this is what I've got.
