This is by far my Most Favorite Song and Dance from SEVENTEEN (to date).
Picking a favorite from SVT is probably a tough choice, bcs they have so many great songs, and other great choreographies too that I truly adore (eg: Highlight, Home, Don’t Wanna Cry, etc)
But. Everytime I watch Live Performance of ‘ Thanks ‘ though, I just can’t help to be amazed over and over again; hence the reason why I picked this song.
The dance of ‘Thanks’ is the closest to contemporary kind of dance, and first in Kpop that I had ever found.
The song itself is also great, very simple yet very meaningful with great music and vocals as well.
The dance has Sign language in it, the hidden T H X inside, and the last bit of lyrics really reflect relationship between SEVENTEEN and their fans which is very TRUE and PURE.
“My heart won’t change, it won’t ever change; Even if you erase me
We won’t change; Because we’re engraved in each other’s heart”
I personally believe, what Woozi would like to convey through this song is, to pass his thankfulness for all the love we all gave to them, for making their (member’s) dream come true by appreciating their musics and work.
Meanwhile on the other hand, not to forget the cliche that someday we all might move on to another fandom, we’ll eventually forget their songs in time, but still; the following Facts wouldn’t change the thing that fans and them share now which are Love, Support, Thankfulness etc.
The RAWEST, the most basic thing between artist and fan, Woozi and SEVENTEEN appreciate that, they brought that into a song and Voila! Here it is. I like it very very much and I think in few years time, even when I’m not into SVT anymore, I would never forget this song bcs it has such amazing meaning behind it. And amazing music plus dance as well.
Again, Love Love the ‘Contemporary’ theme of this song’s Dance. I truly adore the choreographer, I think this kind of Dance is very different in the Best way, SVT didn’t disappoint, they offer smthg new, not all members have to look at the front all the time but even by that, the Feelings are still conveyed beautifully, the Sincere Meanings behind it were successfully passed to the viewers as well.
So yeah, Kudos SEVENTEEN!
