I like the disco vibe of 잠시 (Telepathy), a track from BTS’ latest album, “BE”. And disco is not even near the top of the genres of music I like listening to.
But somehow, I can’t help but feel like bobbing along every time this song plays.
The beats are really addictive. Maybe it’s also due to how the BTS boys drawl when they sing and rap in the song. It feels like I’m in the middle of a lazy afternoon, doing nothing but listening to music with my headphones on.
When listening to the song, what stood out for me was Jimin’s vocals. Coupled with the way he sings it, it really suits the vibe of the song.
It’s a very straightforward song to play, with the same four chords repeating throughout.
No music video for 잠시 (Telepathy) unfortunately, but I imagine if there ever is one, it’ll be fun and colourful like Dynamite.
As you can see, the lyrics feel very happy and “summer-y”:
Telepathy When the days all feel the same I’m the happiest when I meet you When every day is different You are the most special person to me Things are fine, right? You’re not hurt anywhere, right? These days, hmm It feels like everything’s up in the air Thanks to all this free time I get to write this kind of song This is a song for you Yeah, a song, yeah, a song Alright, let’s go away, to the blue sea The blue sea where we frolicked around together All these futile worries, for just a moment As we lay them down, for just a moment Let’s have fun together, just us, On this small island in the midst of the blue sea where we made memories together Even though right now we’re far away Our hearts are still the same, aren’t they? Even if you’re not by my side, yeah Even if I’m not by your side, yeah We all know we’re still together When the days all feel the same I’m the happiest when I meet you When every day is different You are the most special person to me Morning rises like wild grass Just like a mirror, I check on you My eyes aren’t crusty from sleep, they’re full only of you They’re heavy again, these knees full of bruises As I walk the streets, I think about this distance That this star has permitted us to have Oh, can I be your Bibilly Hills Like you did the same to me (Baby) It’s a little dangerous for things to go too fast It’s a little boring when things go too slow Not too fast and not too slow Let’s match each other’s pace and go This is a rather long and fun rollercoaster Even though right now we’re far away Our hearts are still the same, aren’t they? Even if you’re not by my side, yeah Even if I’m not by your side, yeah We all know we’re still together When the days all feel the same I’m the happiest when I meet you When every day is different You are the most special person to me Source: BTS-TRANS/BANGTANSUBS (with some slight modifications by me)
