Astro’s Always You MV- A young musician’s look (Part. 1)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1ozr79pcjo

So... some (most) don’t know, but I have been playing instruments and participating in choirs since I was young. I play the piano, viola, and ukulele, as well as sing. As Mochi, Mechta, and I were watching the MV 3 hours on loop (literally) after its release a started to point things out to them while trying to fall back to sleep (It came out at 5 am where we are).

Here is the list of things I noticed: (OP stands for personal opinion.)

- There has been a trend of heavier instrumentals, meaning they are very powerful in beats and bass, in Kpop (especially with BTS), but Always You has a light sound.

           ~ It’s actually had to pull of a light sound and still make it sound incredible powerful like what Astro did with Always You. They actually used the lighter sound of hihats (the sound that seems like something from trap music) to make it seem lighter. I found this incredibly interesting because from what I have heard quite a few groups were using it to bring down a beat really.           ~The lighter sound of the song allows people to listen to the vocals more than the instruments (OP: Which I like a lot more). It makes sense for this song because then you can hear the lyrics more clearly as well as their tone.

-The song has beat of 4 (I believe, you could argue that’s a 2.), but for the most part the beat that is the emphasis is on beat 2, also later on 4 (especially in the rap). In pop songs, I feel like you usually find the emphasis on beat 1 and 3... it was interesting to figure that out.           ~ With the emphasis on beat 2, it makes the beat feel late...omg... I just had a realization... They did that on purpose. The lyrics are talking about feeling late and the song is helping with the feeling with making the emphasis on beat 2.          ~The most interesting part is that during the last slow part of the song where Eunwoo, Sanha, and MoonBin sing, there is an emphasis on beats 1 and 3. If you look at the lyrics there (in English) they say: “Now I’m finally telling you.” They are saying they are no longer late, they are here. After that for the next 6-8 lines the beat is still has an emphasis on 1 and 3 meaning that those lyrics are the ones to listen to. Even if you didn’t hear any of the others the song is basically pushing you to listen to those lyrics.
