ARMY surely all agree that BTS has saved countless lives with their music. From the meaningful lyrics of their songs to the relevant themes of their albums, BTS has always and still continue to use their platform to voice out their stance on mental health, giving it the well-deserved spotlight it requires to be more addressed. ARMY can always rely on BTS for music to lean on during dark days.
There are times when even the words of our family and friends are not enough to bring us comfort. Oftentimes, during these situations, we turn to BTS’ music. Through BTS’ songs, we come to realize that BTS are people who understand how we feel and that we are not alone in the hardships we face. BTS’ music can be listened to for various reasons and at various times, but as previously mentioned, BTS specifically shed light on mental health in their songs, therefore making it relatable to ARMY who may face these problems. In this blog, we will discuss how BTS’ music brings comfort during the darkest of times … and the brightest of them too.
For times when you need warm hugs
Sometimes spoken words aren’t enough to give us the comfort that we need. Tight, warm hugs are usually the antidotes that will cure us when we are feeling down. Of course, BTS has the perfect songs you would want to hear if warm hugs are what you need. Some of these songs are 2! 3!, Mikrokosmos, Magic Shop, and A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone. What is the similarity between these songs? They remind us that we are not alone in our struggles and that BTS will always be here for us with their support and kind messages. Like strong arms wrapping us in a tight, warm embrace, these songs will give us the soothing feeling of a tight, comforting hug.
This is especially important and relevant to our time during the COVID-19 pandemic when something as small as a hug compromises the safety of a population. Despite this major disadvantage, if you give these songs a listen, you will feel as if BTS is standing right there beside you. Whenever you feel like you need warm hugs, remember this: you may feel alone at times, but there are seven men in South Korea who want you to feel otherwise.
For times when you need to have a good cry
There are times, however, that we need to— as the term goes— “let it all out.” Having a good cry helps us release our emotions better. Through their songs, BTS can help you ease your pain by crying. Listen to Answer: Love Myself, Epiphany, Sea, and Epilogue: Young Forever— you will undoubtedly need some tissue boxes.
Here is a fact about crying: doing it for a long time releases feel-good endorphins that can help lessen physical and emotional pain. Most BTS songs, like the ones previously mentioned, have deep, personal meanings that never fail to touch ARMY’s hearts, making it perfect to be part of your go-to playlist for a good crying session.
Don’t hesitate to let out your emotions if you want to alleviate your pain and improve your mood.
For times when you feel lost or confused
Most of us don’t have life figured out... and that’s okay. BTS also started out without any knowledge of what was in store for them in the future, and it is possible that they still feel lost or confused to this day. Whenever you reach this point in life, give Lost, 00:00 (Zero O’Clock), Awake, and Spring Day a listen. These songs tackle the feeling of being disoriented, confused, or any similar emotion.
Listening to these songs will help you realize that you are not the only one feeling these emotions, be it dealing with insecurities or missing a friend. Feeling lost or confused at any point in your life is completely understandable and normal. Who knows? Maybe listening to these BTS songs will help you figure out the next steps you need to take.
For times when you need some alone time
We sometimes experience a mood wherein we don’t want to talk to anyone and want to spend some time alone... and that is completely natural. There are BTS songs that can accompany you during these times as well, such as Reflection, Forever Rain, Set Me Free, and Intro: Nevermind. Try spending your alone-time with these songs and your appreciation of the special time spent without anyone around should blossom and grow.
These songs have a melancholic melody that can help you realize the benefits of sometimes being alone; listening to these songs will additionally deepen your contemplations about life and its journey.
For times when you feel happy
Last but not least, it is no doubt that BTS has songs that you can listen to whenever you are bursting with happiness.
DNA, Boyz with Fun, 21st Century Girl, and Dimple are just some of the songs you can check out whenever you’re in a happy mood. These songs have various meanings, from falling in love with someone to friends having fun and women empowerment, but they all share the same characteristic: upbeat tunes that will make you want to dance. Listening to songs during a happy mood will certainly uplift your bright spirits more. Also, keep in mind that happiness is contagious. Dance to the beat of these songs with your family and friends and a happy, unforgettable memory is bound to form!
