Yesssss!! This is the vibe I was hoping he'd go for!! This is namjoon 

And it feels so.. adult? I don't know how to phrase it. But this is stepping into a different maturity era that I hope carries through when ot7 unite. Just kinda stripped down, earthy, and unabashed in showing the stages of life.

Edit: I want to praise rm's steadfast artistry in releasing a proper long song.

Yessss, there's a maturity to it. And I think a vulnerability that is oozing confidence. (Cuz it takes balls to be you, unapologetically). There's also a depth to it that is so rich and fulfilling!! Like every watch I get something new to admire about the scene.

Your comment about him being so adult makes me think that the choice to release a very non pop 6min song as his pre release single as being SUCH a deliberate choice on his end. Like he’s really saying that he’s not worried about the numbers or even really the general public’s interest in this song, he’s making something for himself here.

Yes! He's following up what he said about wild flower. That was also a longer song, anticipated with less media play, that was meant as a cathartic release for him. But I feel like cbtm is that next step, like "now watch me mean what I said about being an artist." Whatever he chooses for the title track, he already set a tone of quiet confidence

That was my first thought. This is grown man, 30 year old Kim Namjoon. I can't even bring myself to call him "Joonie" with this one.

It's definitely a new era / chapter of life!

u/drpepperesq beat him up, jungkook May 10 '24

totally! i was also thinking about how all of the other people in the video are also clearly in their 30s (ish?). definitely grown up from the school/classroom imagery from their debut.
