MONO was, is and always will be so much more than just an album man. Every single song on here is a story on its own. I forget just how fucking incredible this mixtape is until I hear it again and I realise that not even for a second did I not like a song or even a part of any song? Like? This album? Outsold the entire industry on its own?

TOKYO? That song? The vibe on that song? How is Tokyo even a song, it’s a feeling. That soft baseline that accompanies the entire song makes me feel things I didn’t know existed and let’s not even talk about “can’t sleep homesick babe”. This single line after that pause; OUTSOLD every emotion out there in the human spectrum.

SEOUL?? I moved out of my parents house like three years ago, moving to a new city, all alone was so terrifying but at this point, this city feels like home? There’s so much shit I went through in this city all on my own BUT that shit I was put through made me exactly who I am. As much as I hate this city for its cruel ways and fast life I also can’t help but love what it made me today and if that ain’t what Seoul is all about. I can’t believe Joon was able to put these emotions into a song but nvm.

MOONCHILD GODDAMNIT. THAT BOP. As someone who literally hates HATES going out and just existing in front of the world in the daylight, with all your scars bare, with people everywhere just waiting for you to fall with their eyes wide; This song just means so much to me. “Can’t breathe in the sunlight”  Yes Namjoon, yes. The night is for people like us. People who belong to no one but themselves and people who don’t want no one but themselves. All alone, halfway into the night, bare moonlight and the dim glow from a laptop playing music, reading some sappy book about life. That is it. Those are his ‘moonchildren’, right there.

BADBYE being baselines half sister; makes me want to slut drop into the last dimensions of hell and the all of a sudden the mood change of the song and the way it changes so subtly like fuck? And the ICONIC “and I cry, you know I, I cry”. I still cannot put it into words how badly I felt all my emotions hit me like a fucking train when I heard that damn line change for the first time. Joon really got me hard there.

UHGOOD just really really speaks to me about how one can seem to have accomplished everything on the surface but deep down inside only you yourself, know how satisfied you are with the life you’re living. How the world sees you can never quite change how you see yourself? I can have everything that I put my eyes on but even then, at the end of the day; “I feel so lonely when I’m with me”.

EVERYTHING GOES. Hands down, my favourite song on the album. That song makes me feel so fucking safe? Like I’m safe here when listening to this song and that I’m strong enough to get through whatever it is that’s bothering me and idk? He is not saying that you’ll be alright or whatever, he is simply saying that, whatever you’re going through, this too shall pass and if that isn’t exactly what we need to pick ourselves up cause nobody else will ever do it.

The way this album ends with forever rain that has in its lyrics a combination of all the thoughts Joon expressed in all the other songs on this mixtape. How forever rain is kind of a patchwork of something taken from every song on mono. How forever rain was the first song that was released and how Namjoon, the main rapper of BTS, the boy who has been put through so much hate just cause he was “too crude” “curses too much” “sings too fast” “is just a mainstream rapper” “can’t dance, can’t sing, can only rap” went ahead with “everything slow”.

THIS BOY put out a mixtape, full of different genres, feelings and emotions many in this industry cannot even comprehend let alone put into songs. The way Namjoon came out with mono and nothing has ever compared and how nothing WILL EVER compare. This mixtape is always going to be one of the best things that ever happened to the music industry and goddamnit just give mono it’s Grammy already.

Thank you, Joon.🌱
