Chanyeol actually participated in writing the lyrics of “Gravity” which centers upon Kyungsoo’s power as well as “With You”, Baekhyun’s power which he said that he drew the lyrics from his experiences about how people become similar to the people they love.
3:00 every song in DMUMT album represents every members' power. Sign - Chanyeol Ooh La La - Kai Gravity - D.O With You - Baekhyun 24/7 - Xiumin Bad dream - Sehun Damage - Chen Smile on My Face - Lay Oasis - Suho Not surprised you pick it up easily.
"With You" is seriously so underappreciated. I know it's not an in-your-face kind of banger but the production is soooo good. It's light and bouncy, feels like a warm summer night with a cool breeze and a clear sky full of stars. So basically Baekhyun as a song lol. The structure is perfect, the rap part doesn't feel forced and blends in perfectly. I love the childlike music box melody, the vocals as always, the halftime part, the outro. It's honestly one of my favorite most replayed Exo songs and I never get tired of listening to it. The only other kpop songs that achieved that for me are "Dreams come true" by NCT 127 and "Amen" by Monsta X. Also, Sehun and Chanyeols ending part in Bad Dream? I could listen on repeat forever.
What I like about bad dream is that the beat gives you this kind of desperate feeling. Like you are so fed up with all the emotions that you don't know how to handle and want to desperately get rid of but you are unable to. I really like the album. And I am so glad you enjoy it so much. You make me notice details I won't normally notice when I listen to the songs myself, so thank you for that.
I see a lot of people commenting that each of the songs represents a member's power, but I just wanted to add some clarification: Each of the songs from the original DMUMT album represents, mentions, or embodies a member's power, besides Tempo. [This doesn't include the Love Shot tracks, either] Sign - Chanyeol (fire) Ooh La La - Kai (teleportation) Gravity - D.O (force) With You - Baekhyun (light) 24/7 - Xiumin (frost) Bad dream - Sehun (wind) Damage - Chen (lightning) Smile on My Face - Lay (healing) Oasis - Suho (water) [This is why Suho's fanmeet before enlistment was called O2asis~^.^] The songs added in the Love Shot repackage do not follow this pattern, but worth mentioning is that Wait was EXO's solution to not being able to release a winter album that year (the winter albums are gifts to EXO-Ls, and are typically all messages directly to us^.^)
So fun to go through all these songs with you... I was just imagining the live stages of all of them in my mind. I look forward to all of that for you :D
I hope you can check out the live stages of these songs esp. Gravity. And also Oh la la la dance practice (sm uploaded it at first but deleted it without a reason but luckily someone reuploaded it)!!
Found your channel tonight and been watching your exo reactions since then .. listening to the songs after so long with you reminded me why I'm an exo_l🤧😍 they're amazing ❤️and you're one of the cutest people I've seen on RU-vid 😄🥰
By the time this album droped I was a casual listener but I checked this album and fell in love with Gravity so bad, it's such a great song musically but what made me love it was the emotion in the song. Not an exo-l but from time to time I listen to their newest releases bc they have bops!
I love this line "You said i was your future and now i am just your past?". After going through a breakup of a twenty year long relationship in 2020, those kind of lyrics speak to me a lot. After seeing the live performances in the Exploration concerts Bad Dream really became my favourite song of this album. The choreo is sooo smooth.
With You is Baekhyun's song in the album that's why it's all about light stuff. And actually Chanyeol wrote the lyrics for this one and his last love you is so sweet :( that's Chanyeol saying love you by the way the video got it wrong :)
@@caitlinbensonn thanks , I found part 3 after watching 1 and 2, didn’t noticed it first. Damage is one of my favourite songs 😂😂. By the way if you haven’t watched, this is very interesting material for you as a musician. London Noise, producers of Damage, doing the breakdown of the song at kcon in 2019 (previously they did the same with forever and monster) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QFV-VtzM4JQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1nQwWIfJSo4.html It is worth watching!
Gravity! This is my song! Back in the summer of 2019 when they announced the EXO Planet 5: EXplOration concert tour, Gravity was the song I was most anticipating seeing the choreo for - and I was not disappointed! Gravity was made by LDN Noise, who have made some of my favourite EXO songs like Monster, Power, Forever...
what I love in Bad Dream is... EXO flexing their vocals like ppl don't know they're the vocal kings already😅 and Chen's part tho.. that man, I can't with his piercing powerful voice.. and also when they all coming at us with their vocals, the rappers, EXO-SC just come at the end and say "hey, y'all need to calm down.. it's towards the end already.. let's spare EXO-Ls heart and ears" 🤣🤣
Their 4th concert, EXplOration performed most if not all of the DMUMT songs. And they performed Ooh La La during their Tempo Comeback on 2 stages. So girl. Ooh la la la is a whole different vibe on stage!!!
Bad Dream is literally one of my top favorite EXO songs when I first heard it my mind was blown. It's hard to have a favorite on this album because every song is amazing!!
GRAVITY is such an underrated bside by exo, this is a retro future synthwave track which is rare to hear or to pull in kpop plus 2 verse raplines this is such a gem & masterpiece track. period.
Watched all 3 parts in 1 sitting. Thank you so much for this 😊 And like what the others are saying , you have to watch the Tempo comeback showcase .. and also the 0xFesta with EXO. They performed some of the songs from the album & they killed it
SM must have made a deal with Chen for this album because he was singing like he had rent to pay. Maybe it was for him to have a day off with his future wife😂
Girl, I am SOOOOO impressed that you peeped the thing with their powers!!! You really do pay attention to ALL the details, and that is what I appreciate about you as a reactor. I know you are invested in all of your groups, and you actually remember the things you hear and see. Gravity is my all time favorite EXO song, but Bad Dream is also up there. It was my least favorite song off the album, but quickly rose through the ranks. And why am I not shocked that you and Fifi have the same favorite song on this album?! With You stole her heart the second she heard it!
Literally watching all the videos you dropped since yesterday. Thanks so much for every video. I appreciate you a lot. I always love discovering and rediscovering music with you!
Why is there a verse missing in Bad Dream? Minutes 1:40 to 1:50 in the song. After the 1st chorus and Kyungsoo Sehun has a singing part in the song & short lines duet w Baekhyun. He sounds like an angel & so pretty with Baekhyun
I'm one of the people who didnt vibe with Bad Dream at first, but then i saw the live performnce at Exploration concert and i was. Blown. Away. Maybe it's because they were tired but the desperation really shone through in the performance. To this day i still prefer the live version
Fun fact: The demo ver of "With you" was named as " F u" 😭😂 but when EXO took it they change it to "With you" And Yes! every song in this album resemble one of exo's power It was like this: Gravity was in Kyungsoo's teaser With you was in Baekhyun's teaser Oasis was in Suho's teaser 24/7 was in Xiumin's teaser Damage was in Chen's teaser Bad dream was in Sehun's teaser Sign was in Chanyeol's teaser Smile on my face was in Lay's teaser Ooh lalala was in Kai's teaser Chen is the one who was whistling in 24/7
2:35 every b-side on this album represents each member's power actually!! sign - chanyeol (bfire) ooh la la la - jongin (teleportation) gravity - kyungsoo (earth) with you - baekhyun (light) 24/7 - minseok (ice) bad dream - sehun (wind) damage - jongdae (thunder/lightning) smile on my face - yixing (healing) oasis - junmyeon (water) the references may be direct in some and subtle in others, but it's there in all !!
