MUSIC REVIEW BY BTSCAPE :purple_heart:
Let’s be honest here, the song makes you feel sad. Whether it’s being sad for a friend you’ve lost yourself or being sad even for Yoongi. To think that we know people whereas we really don’t. Not when Yoongi so beautifully and in such a melancholic way expressed yet another story of his life to us. A story wherein he lost a dear friend of his. Dear My Friend is personally a song I can relate to because I’ve lost a friend or two in my life, whether it be because I’ve simply lost contact with them or because they’re not here anymore.

The song starts with a simple line, “Ajekdo Yeojhoni” literally meaning “I still miss you” or “Even so, I still miss you” and then goes on to describe the entire incident which takes us back to Yoongi’s ordinary life, one where he wasn’t Suga and was Min Yoongi. The song continues telling us how Yoongi had a close friend with whom he had shared his thoughts, his ideas, basically himself over ‘soju’ or beer and how he had lost him when one day he received a call letting him know that his friend is a prisoner at the Seoul Detention Center with Yoongi visiting him once in a while. The song doesn’t tell us in detail what exactly his crime was but I believe Yoongi left that to our imagination. Music is what the listener deciphers it to be anyway.

Even after being released from jail, Yoongi particularly mentions that his friend ‘offered him some’ which we can only imagine to be some kind of drug and the moment Yoongi declined, he knew he was never gonna see his friend again, he knew how he had changed and that this wasn’t the person he was once soulmates with. Although a rap song, the music has a retro vibe and the rapping is done in a slow way letting the listener understand the words sung, with the chorus beautifully brought to life by Kim Jong Wan of NELL with a really catching hook saying “I hate you but I still miss you dear friend.” The mixture of guitar, piano and drums in the background makes it perfect and probably one of the things that made me really fall for the song.
The entire lyrical content gets deeper and more profound whenever the lyrics speak of how good of a friendship they had, exchanging ideas to change the world, passion in both of them that held the power to turn things upside down and whilst Min Yoongi very much has achieved those dreams in his life, he still aches on the fact that his beloved friend isn’t there by his side anymore. The vibe is soft but intense at the same time.
Speaking of the bridge, it has nothing but just the instrumentals playing. The drums and the guitar providing a feeling of both peace and sadness ( according to me ) and it’s when the same chorus is sung again, is when you realize that Yoongi didn’t really have anything for us to learn from here. He just wanted us to listen to his story and when he’s done, he’s done, leaving you wanting more. The lines “Even so, I still miss you” keep repeating and you know that’s how the story ends. It doesn’t get better, it doesn’t get worse, it justs end and so does the song in a matter of a few minutes. Guess good things really don’t last long 😉

In the Break The Silence Docu Series, on the previous episode, Yoongi speaks about how he is envious of people who get to go out with friends and do ordinary activities such as the movies, dining etc, throwing light on the fact that he doesn’t have any personal friends. Maybe this shows how an idol’s life really is from the inside while all we see is the sparkly appearance of fame and money. Somewhere along the song, we realize that Min Yoongi sometimes misses Min Yoongi and his old life. The life where he had friends and an ordinary schedule. The life where he hasn’t lost his dear friend. The life where he is not Suga for a while, where he’s not always in the spotlight. The life which is normal.
In conclusion, Dear My Friend helps us to get to know our idol better, to learn a little more about his life and how not everything that glitters is gold. Not everything that looks happiness feels like it. The way Yoongi expresses himself through his music really makes you think and realize how much he has gone through. If I had the power, I’d tell Min Yoongi that he’s got a friend in us, in ARMY. That he’s not alone and that to achieve one’s dream, you have to lose some and you have to gain some. Dear My Friend is a deeply personal track and the least I can say is that I’m eternally grateful for Yoongi to be able to share this with us considering how reserved of a person he is. I’m sure it took him lots of courage to present this for the whole world to listen and I’m proud of him for that. Now it’s time for you to listen to the song again, what’re you waiting for? Put on your headphones and listen to it right here down below!
I hope you liked this blog. I’m not the best writer but I’ve sure tried my best to pen down the feels I get once I listen to this beautiful melody. Again, these are just my opinion and thoughts about the song so if you have anything to else, don’t be rude and let’s discuss politely. Let me know if you want me to make more such explanations.
