today i woke up and thought about "honsool", and i remembered that i saw someone mention that when yoongi sings "now i& #39;m feeling like i& #39;m flying", the notes actually go lower as he sings "flying". in music, sometimes a technique called text painting is used. it& #39;s when the music +
is composed to reflect the song& #39;s lyrics, and an example would be if yoongi had went higher and higher as he sang "flying". but instead, he did the exact opposite, creating this contradiction.
i think that the fact that he sings "flying" while the notes fall lower shows that +

this isn& #39;t a light, soaring kind of flying that he& #39;s talking about. it& #39;s more disoriented and dizzy, which he& #39;s weighed down by, which does indeed correspond with the lyrics as a whole. so in a way, the text painting is still accurate!
ALSO i remembered seeing someone say that yoongi& #39;s flow in "honsool" comes in waves. i definitely agree with that, and i think that the parts where he breaks up his flow into little phrases is especially noteworthy. because since they& #39;re so short, they give the impression that +
he& #39;s just trying to make it to the next line, because he& #39;s weary at the end of a long day. the fact you can hear his breathing in between each phrase emphasizes that, because it sounds like he& #39;s almost out of breath at the end of the phrases, but then he takes in another breath +
to push on, just trying to get through it. it makes it sound like he& #39;s exhausted, which again corresponds with the lyrics!
so once again in today& #39;s episode of yoongi being a genius. they just keep on coming!
oh and before i forget, special thanks to @HOTYPRODSUGA for reminding me i should listen to this song more! thank you for helping me to think about "honsool" more. :)
