Indeed! Thanks, OP.

Merribelle, I’m going into the flatpack madness - says a lot when that seems like the calm option!!

thank you for this. in the process of writing a long thread about how BTS has become the punching bag and it's not ok

Love it. It’s 90 out but I am headed outside for a walk to cool off!. Then I will rewatch Run BTS.

Quote from Eldeweiss

I have been an ARMY for many years and their music really make me feel at home. I am sure that I am not the only fan who feels like that.

Their music is really comforting. They often depict the human condition as tragic and ephemeral but at the same time they bring comfort to their listeners. They point at an issue and propose you the cure right after. A song like Run is a good example.

This song is a sad realization about love's fickle side but sadness is replaced by hope when they state that you need to run and not look back. Run is about acceptance and reisilience. Love is not always made to last like everything else in life and it's okay to accept to move on.

BTS music happy songs never fail to make me smile and be positive. They are really really precious.

As musicians and singers, they are amazing. Their discography is versatile, emotional and unique. As persons, they really precious and share a great bond. As performers, they are often delightful and love what they do with a rare passion.

I hope that ARMY and BTS will be together for a very long time.

They are one of the groups that got me into Kpop. I'm not a stan but YNWA came out a little before I got into Kpop and I used to that album on my commute to Uni or Work almost everyday that year lol.

Well that and the Winner debut album haha.

When I was at my lowest, their songs were my companions.

I'll be forever their fan.

Awww, this is so sweet

This is beautifully poetic, and I can relate to coming into adulthood with their music. I was 16 when I got introduced to them and I'm now over 20.

what a coincidence tbh, I was just listening to Run

Anyways those who need comfort, here is one of the most hauntingly beautiful song which is somehow calming and healing as well

I have become so much better a person in so many ways since I really became a fan. 😊

And on top of that there is so much joy and silliness and comfort through them. The world needs more of that.

Indeed. They have something for every listener.

When this comes on shuffle, I get so lost in the music I don't even realize that almost 5 minutes has passed until I hear those final piano notes.

Finally something normal!

I am thankful to them because they saved me from depression.

Their discography is just beautiful, you can almost find any sound to fit your mood.

Great thread OP

Except when that unsettling last piano key hits .. literal goosebumps

All the remix and different versions that they included in Young forever repackage is pure magic..

prologue mix, along with run ballad mix and autumn leaves together is just... another world

EXACTly!! I don't see anyone talk about Run's Ballad mix or INU's Remix. They're such good reworkings of already great songs.

Man I LOVE those remixes, particularly the ballad remix of Run. I hadn’t listened to them in a while, either, so that definitely needs to be remedied in a minute.

I am thankful that BTS is carrying me on allkpop.

Without them I'd only have Blackpink to help me get hit threads.

#BTSANDBPPAVEDTHEWAYFORDREW!

Thank you for making this.

Whenever I to Bts songs I instantly feel comforted and happy

Beautiful thread💜

Honestly, The love I have for BTS is unmatched. They’re music has gotten me through the toughest of times. I remember being upset and having literal breakdowns, but as soon as I turned on BTS on I felt immediately at ease. They’ve truly saved me in so many ways, and I’ll always be grateful for that💜

When Love Yourself Tear came out, I pitched a music review/article to my neighborhood newspaper and they accepted. I wrote about the positive impact that BTS had on my life and the lives of others, especially their Love Yourself message. They helped me realize that even though I thought I was loving myself, I actually wasn't at all and I was able to move towards greater self-acceptance and appreciating my self-worth once I realized that. I learned what it meant to truly love myself.

Last summer, I discovered that the paper had republished my article with a wonderful editorial lead-in to provide readers context about BTS and ARMY's donation to BLM.

BTS is my happy place. And I noticed that when I listen to various artists on Spotify and BTS songs come up, a quiet joy would enfold me, and I would usually have a silly smile on my face lol.

There’s something about BTS..

If you don’t mind, please share the article here, Im sure many would love to read it..

thank you for making this thread.

seeing how bts has helped so many others, makes me truly happy.

They say you meet bts, when you need them.

I actually hadn't realised i needed them until i saw how differently i started living my life after stanning them.

live in the present, stop being so hard on yourself, forgive more, be more open with your feelings,..

no matter what happens, i will be forever grateful to them.

They have gorgeous songs with powerful messages and they're amazing artists. Honestly, their songs just make me happy.

I'm grateful for BTS as well. I've listened to their music for years but have only just become a fan. Their songs have a good feel to them and I can't believe I didn't stan them before.

Ohh I understand. It’s ok, no worries!

Thank you for making this thread op 💜. In amidst of all of the hateful and trolling threads about BTS, this one was such a pleasant visit.

I am very thankful for BTS, they appeared in my life when I needed them the most. I have not experienced the healing I get from listening to their songs from any other. Their lyrics, message and songs are so beautiful. Their variety of discography gives me a song for each situation/season. 💜💜💜their personalities and the good causes they do have influenced me to do better in my life as well 💜💜💜

Just like everyone else, their lyrics have changed my way of thinking. I used to listen to sad music only, with them I started to appreciate lighter, happier music which makes us think good things. So it made me a better person.

But this year I haven't appreciated their work as much I miss their deeper work...
