[Tier 3] SKZ - Mixtape #2: Behind The Light (3Racha & SKZ Version)
Added 2023-11-17 09:07:43 +0000 UTCJUST AS FUN AS THE FIRST ONE, with an extra Korean nuances to talk about! :D
Second mixtape, and our boys be subverting expectations right away.
This IS fun just like we imagined, and we are READY for the next one.
Hope our Korean lesson doesn't drive you crazy cuz it can get quite confusing, but the point is - 3Racha, SKZ, all genius.
<3 Enjoy :D

A lot of the original 3Racha songs were their own raps over “borrowed” tracks which is why a portion of 3Racha’s songs are no longer officially available on the 3Racha YouTube and their other channels.

2023-11-30 15:29:12 +0000 UTCSeeing the difference in mood between these two versions, where the 3RACHA song is a sort of determined yet weary ambition and the SKZ version is softer and more hopeful, I can't help thinking of it as a contrast between Chan pre-debut and Chan post-debut. As I was listening, I kept thinking of the interview where Chan says that, without the members, he might not be alive on earth anymore; how they came in and saved him. (Which: this is also why I still haven't watched your reactions to the last two survival show episodes - I know they're going to hurt me and I need to prepare myself!). But they really have come so far; there's a line in one of their new songs on RockStar that says "we can see our progress," and looking at this, it feels truer than ever.

2023-11-22 06:12:19 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this reaction! It’s exactly what I am hoping for with your channel! Not being able to understand Korean I feel like missing out on so much of their art that I am glad about your explanations, especially as you seem to grasp they many layers they are putting in to it. I love this song because of its soft flow and the positive feeling that it brings about, as you mentioned as well. I’m always so much waiting for your next reaction and keep it for a quiet moment to focus on it fully. So, thank you again so much for your efforts and thoughts!!!

2023-11-18 10:11:02 +0000 UTCI love the mixtapes because of how much growth you hear in the producing and mixtape. The next Mixtape is easily my favorite I love the original 3racha version specifically Chan’s verse to the point I’ve thought about getting a tattoo involving some of the lyrics. I can’t wait for mixtape 3 and 4 I still watch the skz mixtape 4 video regularly cause it’s just so fun and silly

2023-11-18 08:13:24 +0000 UTCI think during the time Chan was still new at producing so yea he would do a samples of beenzino that u were refering to(im only just assuming im not a producer but ye.

2023-11-18 06:34:00 +0000 UTCIf you guys want to go back and listen to some older SKZ songs that are quieter / more ballad-like, here are a couple of suggestions (there are so many, really. SO many.): 1) Another Day - features beautiful acoustic guitar (I **think?** Han is the one playing.) 2) Gone Away - this one has an M/V. Definitely watch it.

2023-11-17 19:37:02 +0000 UTCI love when you help decipher the Korean and it's various meanings. I especially love these sorts of videos right now when the Kids are in comeback season (..well...it seems they're always coming back with something haha), but it's fascinating to see these glimpses of where it all started, how it progressed and where they are now. Truly, just awe-inspiring individuals IMO.

2023-11-17 17:44:26 +0000 UTC3RACHA had a set of bside songs from their mixtapes that were all deleted from SoundCloud (still available on YT as you saw) that sampled popular songs of the time to try their takes on the beat. Deleted due to copyright once the members were signed to be Stray Kids before debut. Some other songs that they made that were later deleted (there were a lot more): Complain (samples Who I Am by Pusha T) Sesame (samples Caroline by Aminé) ID:a (samples Fade Away by Logic)

2023-11-17 17:34:59 +0000 UTCThe changes to the song always fascinated me. To me it felt like a totally different song to the 3racha version but of course it isn’t? I’m really pleased to know why this feel like it now! Thanks as always Handsome Ones for giving us more nuance and insight.

2023-11-17 12:35:45 +0000 UTCThis is one of those songs I don't always listen to because I can FEEL the emotion in it - and I don't want to ball every time. 😅 I don't, but it feels like I should and that is the only way to do this song justice. I'm currently (slowly) starting to learn Korean so any Koren language insights are fascinating!! 😊 Loved your reaction as always! See you in Mixtape 3! ....or LALALALA...Whichever comes first lol 😆 😂

2023-11-17 11:58:57 +0000 UTCOkay I'm back. And I'm in tears. This song ALWAYS makes me emotional but also a little bit envious of the STAYs that have been around from the very beginning. I know he is polarizing but Woojin was SINGING on this song. I also dont think i ever noticed the tongue clicking so that's cool. This song is genuinely so beautiful and very heartfelt. The video from the street video of question being put in the video didn't take me out of the vibe it just made me smile with tears in my eyes. If i ever don't cry at the beginning of this song (which is very rare) the ending chorus when they ALL SING TOGETHER always makes me sob. So i am at work with tears running down my face. Im very happy that I'm normally by myself. But i definitely enjoyed the Korean lesson in the beginning. I felt like i originally understood the title but the Korean nuances definitely make it deeper. But still beautifully poignant.

2023-11-17 10:13:56 +0000 UTCObsessed with your breakdown of lyrics! Skz have SO much amazing music to dive into. You guys are just scratching the surface!! The solo stuff is going to blow you away. Honestly I love comparing the skz stuff to the 3racha stuff because 3racha is where it all started. Anyway, thanks 🙏
