Happy Twelve Years with 'School Of Tears' 💜🎉✨✨

[curio-queries]

A clip of this performance came up in my IG feed today and I'd never seen it before. Am I the only one?! Lol.

According to the BTS wiki,  this performance was on 27 JUN 2014 at Music Bank.

The original song by TVXQ! was released on 06 JAN 2014. Here's a link to the original song on spotify.

I realize I'm absolutely biased and the song is good but BTS just makes everything better imo. This is definitely one of those that I'm preferring the BTS cover over the original.

It's definitely been interesting reading about the history of this band today though. Here's a link for any that are interested:

[COVERS] SUGA Covers RollingStone Magazine

Suga on How BTS Stays Hungry After Conquering the World

With his biting, confessional lyrics, technique-heavy flow that can hit Busta Rhymes-like levels of emotional intensity, extensive production and songwriting credits, and indomitable work ethic, Suga is an indispensable piece of BTS’ collective artistic soul.

In April, he sat in his label’s headquarters, wearing a gray knit cap, white mask, and black parka as he spoke about his battles with depression, his songwriting process, staying hungry after conquering the world, and much more.

RS: You had surgery late last year for a shoulder injury that I believe dates back to your trainee days. How are you feeling?

SUGA: Much better. There’s still some physical therapy that I have to do, but it’s much better. And, yes, I suffered the injury in an accident when I was 20 years old and then as I continued to deteriorate, it was recommended to me that I undergo surgery. Fortunately, there was a little bit of time that I could use to have this procedure. So that’s what we did.

RS: It’s very impressive that you’ve been doing elaborate choreography for all these years with this injury. How did you manage that?

SUGA: By the year before I got the surgery, I think, I was receiving treatment, injections, almost on a monthly basis. But there were times when I couldn’t lift my arms or have a full range of motion in the middle of a concert. So it wasn’t really so much about the pain. It’s more about whether I would be able to continue doing these performances. When you are actually performing, because of the adrenaline and whatever, it doesn’t really hurt. You sort of experience that the next day, that’s when you feel the pain or the discomfort or you can’t raise your arms anymore.

RS: I love the song “My First Love,” where you talk about your early infatuation with your piano and with music. The lyrics suggest that your love for music is also a source of torment; what was going on there?

SUGA: When I was working on “First Love,” I wanted to express a mix of different emotions, because first love is not all good things; there’s the bitter things as well. So I was talking to Mr. Bang about attaching the metaphor of first love to the first moment I came to know music. The target of the love is a piano, but it could be anything – a friend, some other entity. Then, I wanted to show the emotions you go through.

RS: You’ve been open in your lyrics about depression and other struggles. How are you now?

SUGA: I’m comfortable now and feeling good, but those sorts of negative emotions come and go. So it’s almost like cold weather. It may come back in a cycle over a year, year and a half. But when I hear people say that when they listen to my music, and feel comfort and are consoled by those lyrics that express these emotions, that makes me feel very good. It’s very encouraging. I think, for anybody, these emotions are not something that need to be hidden. They need to be discussed and expressed. Whatever emotions that I may be feeling, I’m always ready to express them now, as I was before.

RS: You’ve written many songs for BTS, many songs for yourself, and many songs for other people. What is your usual songwriting process?

SUGA: The process is really different for every song. Sometimes it may be a word that pops up and I build on that word, or someone could make a request for a certain way they would like a song to be developed. Oftentimes, we decide on a theme and then we sort of freely work from the larger overarching theme that we may have. But generally, when I work on a song, I create the beat first and then the melody and the rap and then finally the lyrics. That’s generally how I build them.

RS: How is your guitar playing going?

SUGA: Since my shoulder got much better, I am back on the guitar. I’ve been playing other people’s songs to practice, of course, and I’m looking forward to sometime in the far future of being able to sing and play the guitar at the same time. That’s what I’m working toward.

RS: On “Dope,” you have a great line about your youth rotting in the studio. But do you ever have regrets about that?

SUGA: I have no regrets about the work in the studio. Those days and that time has allowed me to have the kind of opportunities that I have now and today. So there’s no regret. But I do sometimes think, “Why did I have to spend so much time in the studio?” [laughs] Why couldn’t I have gone faster. I had that head-to-the-grindstone effort. Why couldn’t I have rested a little more or refreshed myself a little bit more? I do think about that.
