BTS Album Wings Music Review

  No comments    
categories: , ,



Bangtan Boys also known as BTS, recently made a comeback to the Kpop scene with a brand new album - Wings. I was amazed by BTS maturity in music, since we knew that BTS was famous for their youthful Hip-hop style. In my opinion, BTS has been experimenting different genre of music style after their last album - The most beautiful moment (Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa). Their brand new album features a variety of music style and solo for each member. This album showcased the member’s talent and what they can do as individuals. I heard that BTS participated in the production of this album which was truly great. Wings touched on a few sensitive social problems and some personal subject about the member’s thoughts and their inner struggles. The circles they were talking about in Wings were self, family, friends and the world as they were interlinked with each other. I am pleased with the overall concept of this album, keeping the mystery towards the end and practically leaving us craving for more of BTS. I look forward to this promising boy band future venture as they did prove to us how versatile and precious they were in pursuing performing Arts. This album definitely showed us a different side of BTS and they were prepared to step-up on their game in this ever changing music scene, while creating their own identity. 


J-Hope open the curtain of this album with his stunning display of dance skills and he totally owned it! I love the mysterious feeling to this music and the way J-hope expressed himself with his body movements. The lyrics - too bad, but it’s too sweet was well written and it rhymes with the whole album concept. The tempo and rhythm of this song was enchanting, drawing us into the world of BTS.



We knew that this album was inspired by the popular novel - Demain. The whole album focused on the member’s life and how they keep falling into temptations. Everyone have their own struggles and worries and there were times when we simply gave in to sins. The rap lyrics is both beautiful and meaningful. Basically, BTS carried a strong message about - life is not a bed of roses.




This official music video from Big hit Entertainment was filmed in high quality resolution and it simply showed that BTS was worth every single penny. The story begins with the boys at the Art Museum. Jin stared at a picture on the wall intently with a zoomed in close shoot of our beautiful Jin. All of a sudden, the boys became seven sophisticated princes dancing seductively to the music. I love the maracas that was used as part of the background music and i can't help but move along with the music. The Spanish inspired tune in between the song created a rather Artistic feel to the whole concept. BTS used the trendy music genre called moonbaton trap and added a bit of mysterious elements. These boys are a bunch of masterpiece amidst the Art work around the museum. 


I appreciate how evenly they distributed their lines in all BTS songs. The producer simply looked at who is suitable for which lines and each individual sang their parts very well. The music arrangement was well done and the boys did their best to seduce us with their new style. The music of Blood, Sweat and Tears went from soft and gentle to loud and aggressive and back to seductive again. It was a roller coaster ride to me! I love their transition from youth to adults. Nothing can stop BTS from moving on towards a new level in the music industry. We know that BTS are moving in a new musical direction and they are having fun in their journey towards exploring artistic expressions. 


Jeon Jungkook shared about his life ever since the age of fifteen. He talked about his brother (hyung) pain and how he felt worse when he see them upset. This song is very personal to Jungkook as he sang about how precious his brothers meant to him. In my opinion, this song was a cross between Zion-T and Justin Bieber music style. Jungkook must have been musically influenced by these two artistes. I can feel the sincerity and heartwarming lyrics in begin and Jungkook smoothing voice matches this song very well. Jungkook sang about his gratitude towards the people in his life that inspired him and make him who he is today. 


I have been waiting for Jimin to sing solo and he finally did in this album. He should have more confidence in himself and he does have a sweet voice. This song really make me proud of being his fan. In the song Lie, Jimin presented a person with a huge inner struggle and pain. He was probably betrayed by someone he trusted and fall into depression. I love the lyrics - Don't be like a prey, be smooth like a snake. This song sang about Jimin been caught in a lie which was actually the devil poisoning his mind. He was tempted to give himself to the devil repeatedly. Although he knows it is wrong, he cannot stop because he actually love that feeling. Jimin sang this song with such passion and emotion which totally blown me away. I melted at Jimin high notes and the beautiful chorus. Jimin had improved a lot in his vocal control and his English pronunciation. 


V has always been an impressive vocalist in my opinion and this song stigma totally drawn me to his voice. He has such a soulful voice and it is a shame if he does not utilize it in a song. Therefore, i am glad he managed to sing solo in this album. In Stigma, V was sorry for his reckless and irresponsible behavior. V felt being punished for the things he had done. He wants to redeem himself from the sin and tried all ways to rectify his mistakes. I love the way V sang his high note and it does proved that V has the widest vocal range in BTS. The music accompaniment for this song is simple with a saxophone, drum and piano as the background music. There is this jazz feeling to this song and it felt like V is confessing his feeling from the moment it drop the beat.


Suga always have an anguish overtone in his rap and this song is no exception. I love the way the song was written with such poetic expression. Suga reminiscence about his childhood and his loved ones. He rapped about the brown piano that stood by his side. He clearly stated that he will never leave (give up on) music. This is his faith and he strongly believed that music heal all pains in his heart. He hide behind the music to relieve his pain and anxiety. 



Rap monster lyrics reflected on life been sometimes good and bad. There were dark night and bright morning. I love the way Rap monster rap in English at the beginning. He sound so attractive and sexy. Reflection speaks of Rap monster philosophy about life and his insecurity. He wished to love himself more and not to be too hard on himself. 



J-Hope did a great job in this album and people need to stop underestimate his abilities. He is a talented piece of Art with his own style and he totally throws himself in his craft. I love the way he rap about his mother being there for him in his life. He simply love his mother and he wanted his mother to be proud of him too. 



I always heard that Jin is only a visual representative in BTS and he was one of the underrated member in Bangtan. Some people commented that he does not have much talent compared to other members. This song Awake really proved the haters wrong as Jin demonstrated his potential musically. I was touched by his gentle, sweet voice and the lyrics of this song was so well written that it brought tears to my eyes. Jin faced disappointment along the way and he still choose to hold on to the six flowers (the members) and continue to walk forward despite the obstacles and setbacks. Jin is really good in ballads and he does have a good voice!


Lost was sang by the four vocalists of BTS and it was a nice cover from them. It talks about being lost and how they tried to find a direction in life. This is very common for youngsters these days being lost and does not know what to do with life. This song connects to the youth that are still looking for their own place in this world.


The rappers in BTS continued their venture into Cypher part 4. They wrote the lyrics themselves and trap-rap along with the music. The lyrics - I love myself, i love myself keeps ringing in my head after listening to this song. The rap line tried to convey the message - Do not let the society define us of who we are and we need to find our own identify in this world. Yes, we need to love ourselves and not fall into depression due to other people opinion of us. They are referring to haters who sit behind the computer, sending hatred and resentment towards other people life. They wanted to destroy people life using words that hurts and they were simply saying things casually without sparing a thought for others.



We often question ourselves - Am i wrong? BTS shared about the social problem of these days where people became selfish and self-centered. They talked about the world we are living is going crazy with all the wrong moral values. This is a reflection about the society and we need to look into what went wrong with the young generation. Jimin pronunciation of crazy sound really crazy to me. Other than that minor problem, this song is really interesting.



BTS always talk about empowerment in their music. They did make it a point to be an inspiration to the youth of this generation. They always speak up against bullying, oppression and discrimination. In this particular song, BTS encouraged the 21st century girls to be strong and confident about themselves. Yes, we need not follow blindly on what the world says and define ourselves based on people opinion.


BTS pull the curtain down with an upbeat song that brings hope and a smile on our face. They sang about holding hands together as one to walk through the storm in our life. In my opinion, BTS tried to reach out to the youth with their music. Darkness will end, hope will arise. As long as we stay together, we will conquer the storm. You are not alone because we are in this together. Do not give up hope and let's move on. This song was well arranged and it served as an encouragement for people who are depressed. 





BTS really spread their wings and fly! Yes, this album was a huge success and it will be marked as one of the most beautiful moment in BTS musical journey. I love that the circles they referred to in this album are wings that enabled them to fly higher. Everyone have their own route in life and we can still spread our wings and fly at our own pace. We can if we simply try to spread our wings and fly!

BTS Short Films Wings Theory

Rap Monster's narration - still from Hermann Hesse's 'Demian' reads, "My parents' house made up one realm. This realm was familiar to me in almost every way -- mother and father, love and strictness, model behavior, and school." I love the way Rap Monster recite the lines from the famous novel. Big Hit Entertainment Creative team is so brilliant to come out with this idea. Ever since they released these teasers, many people came out with their own theory about the video and interestingly these teasers were all linked to the previous album Forever Young. In my opinion, the circles perhaps represent the imperfection of life. We learnt to spread our wings and fly despite all the hardship in life. Like the butterfly which means transformation. 


BTS Wings Teaser (1) starring Jungkook

The beginning: We see Jungkook taking in all the pains of his hyung (brothers). He woke up from the bed, in a white shirt and the nightmare begins. We can see the bird imprinted on his white shirt. That symbolise he is connected to the sky  and ultimately free himself from the restrain of gravity (in another realm perhaps unconscious after the car incident in Run). 

We were also given the opportunity to peek at the inner struggle of Jungkook in this video. There was a scene where he depict emotions through drawings. The painting that was on the easel board seem to represent all the members pain and agony. Some people say that the pictorial is V and some say it is Suga or even himself. I have no idea who that painting and drawing belongs to, however if I have to choose I think it is probably Suga. Suddenly, the painting and piano burned and Jungkook called "Hyung!" Next, the room became pitch dark, and when the light shone on Jungkook. We can see a pair of wings behind Jungkook. 

My interpretation: Jungkook seem to take all his Hyungs problems on his shoulders.  He saw the devil coming to devour his friends in his "dream".  Jung kook seem to be fearful and lost his direction in life. He is at the beginning stage of turning into a butterfly (adulthood). There are times when he is still figuring out about life and feel anxious of the uncertainty.

He witnessed the pain of the people around him and called out to his hyung. When I linked this video to forever young, I concluded that Jungkook may grew up in a traditional family with strict rules. He could be angry and upset with school. I think he might have been pressured to perform up to the expectation of the adults. There is also a possibility that Jungkook is a victim of school bullies because he is under the eyes of the public. In my opinion, Jungkook only have his hyungs as his closest friends. Thus, his breakdown when he fear that the devil (crows) were taking them away from him. 

Psychological representation: Fear and sense of lost

Symbol: Wings. That is represented as the chipped butterfly wing. There is also a pair of bird wings behind Jung kook. That is the beginning of zooming into the dark side of psychology.


BTS Wings Teaser (2) starring Park Jimin

Lies: This could have something to do with depression. Jimin in this video looked lonely as he struggled with his inner thoughts. He is desperate for someone to save him! The scene with him lying on the bed and the pills that was tossed over reminded me of J-Hope consuming the pills. That is the psychological realm Jimin is facing. He tried to numb himself and escape from his problems but the struggles deepened. On the surface, he looks fine and force himself to smile at the camera. However, he has been putting on a mask and he was actually drowning inside his head. 

My interpretation: Jimin may be neglected in many areas of his life and is always having negative thoughts in his head. He feels that he is always falling short of expectation, just like what Namjoon narrated in the dialogue the realm of circle that make up his life. It's a cause and effect thing. 

Therefore, Jimin always feel the constant need to please others in order to earn the love and attention he desires. He felt "cold" and "weary" of the society norm upon his shoulders. It seem that he is surrounded by the forest, feeling extremely trapped in himself. He is actually pretending to be somebody (model behavior) instead of being truthful to himself. He developed a self defense between him and the world. He need to truly accept himself in order to be happy. 

Psychological representation: Depression and loneliness

Symbol: Apple. It's a lie that he has been feeding upon. The illustration that Adam went to the forest and ate an Apple from the Apple tree that God forbidden, which then open his eyes to the knowledge of good and evil. He is "poisoned" the moment he took a bite and continue to dwell in that forest (A world that he imagine will keep him safe). He is lonely and his only companion J-hope is nowhere to be seen. The feathers and empty bed could hint that J-hope is no longer around for him and he can't truly smile anymore because they are not together.


BTS Wings Teaser (3) starring V 

Stigma: V is trapped in his own circumstances. As what was seen in the video, V accidentally killed his father in order to protect his sister. This led to a crime that he had committed. He have violence tenancy and a problematic childhood trauma. He suppressed his emotions till the day he burst out and accidentally killed his father. V grew up in a broken family with a sense of hatred and anguish. It was sad when he replied to the police that he have no one. 

My interpretation: V was caught by the police and sent to jail. Apparently, V had lost his innocence as illustrated with him hugging the puppy and trapped in a cage. Then the thing that he hold dearly in his heart left him. That was when he felt so helpless. He knew that he had to face the consequences of his actions. In the end, he lost his freedom. He is trapped physically and mentally as he wish to go back to the time when life was so innocent.


Psychological representation: Lost of freedom, guilty, sinful and complicated 


Symbol: Puppy. He lost the most precious thing in his heart. It maybe his family and friends. The white puppy represents his childlike innocence which slowly slipped away from him. Things that he holds dear to were taken away from him. 


BTS Teaser (4) starring Suga 

First love: Suga broke into the music store and was playing piano. Suddenly there was a mysterious tone whistle played, and a car crashed on the piano. Everything was destroyed as Suga looked on with sadness. 

My Interpretation: Suga first love is music and that was when everything was destroyed, crashed and burned. This may refer to his sensitive heart and fragility. Suga retaliate with anger and a destructive behavior. He enjoys inflicting pain on himself in order to feel that he is alive. His world is destructive and he want to burn everything in despair. The whistle may be related to Jungkook. That whistle saved Suga from the car crash.  Suga has a disturbed mental state and he make a choice to pull away from that depression. He is astounded about his life choices and its consequences as he stepped aside to view his life (car crash and burning). He decided that he need to stop thinking about committing suicide in his mind. 

Psychological representation: Troubled, disturbed

Symbol: Fire. It can represent many things such as pain, anger, hurt and destruction. Suga hated himself and he thinks that love is a lie. Perhaps he feels hurt but is unable to let go of those pain and it became his destruction. Generally he thinks that nobody could understand him, not even himself. 


BTS Teaser (5) starring Rap Monster 

Reflection: We can see Rap Monster is reflecting on life. The "tattoo" on his arm is a story in itself. The past regrets and pain that he experience became part of his life. He ran to the telephone booth with the word liar and he hit on the door, while the phone is ringing. The mirror was destroyed and he stood alone at a corner. He tattoo the black bird that he found and burned the paper into a cup and drank it. He used his rebellious way to block the pain that was imprinted upon him. He is resisting the pressure from the society and trying to refrain from feeling "condemned" by the unfair judgment that people placed on him.

My interpretation: Some people say that it was V that called him. I think it could be Rap Monster feeling helpless and regretful for not reaching out to V in time of need and help him. He may experience self-reproach and choose to keep those pain. He felt that it is his responsibility to hold everything together as a leader. when things happens, he condemned himself for the mistake. He feel a need to free himself from the pain and be stronger. 

Psychological representation: Self-condemned

Symbol: Mirrors. He is a broken person and he longs for freedom like the bird. His life was been condemned by the conservative society. He does put the blame on himself for things that happened and its out of his control. 



BTS Teaser (6) starring J-hope

Mama: J-hope is in a mental asylum and the "drugs" which is actually snickers came crushing down. J-hope look like he is in "paradise", being high in drugs. He stared at the picture of forest which  licked to Jimin scene. 

My interpretation: J-hope could be having some addiction to drugs use in this video. He is happy with the chocolate sweet and that is the only way he can live in that illusion world. His mentally state is still at the stage of a kid , longing for his mother and trapped inside a child. The forest painting may indicate that he is in a maze just like Jimin. Both of them lack of love and warmth in their life. At some point of their life, they might be abused. J-hope was taken to the. hospital when he overdose on the pills and was later locked up in the mental asylum.  That is probably why he was separated from Jimin. 

Psychological representation: Addiction, helplessness 


Symbol: Snickers bar. He is trapped in his childlike innocent. The colouful ink and melted sweets soon became sticky and he realized that it is disgusting. There is a dark side in him that he wants to hide from others. He wanted to sugar coat his pain but it only adds to sinking deeper into desperate attempt to mask that pain. The picture of Eva hugging the child links to Jimin because all sins begins in the tree called knowledge of good and evil. Adam ate from that tree and Eve (originated from Hebrew Eva) is the female that persuade Adam into tasting the Apple. This open their eyes to see their nakedness and lack. The moment he bite the Apple, death follows as people are judge based on their sins.

Bangtan Boys (BTS) Vs Infinite

  1 comment    
categories: , , ,

These two idol groups are coincidentally the Korean boy band that debuted with seven members.  They are considered the popular Korean idol groups that have international fandom. In my opinion, they have individual style and charisma. However, I see some interesting similarity between them too. Who is your ultimate bias? 


Jin Vs L

Similarity: They are the visual representative of their own group and are the pin-up flower boys that girls go crazy over during fan meeting. Interestingly, both of them are the same age, although Jin is the eldest in BTS.


V (Taehyung) Vs Lee Sung-yeol 

Similarity: Both of them are cute and funny in their own ways. They also know when to joke around and when to be serious. When they are working on something or performing onstage, they are seriously doing their best to entertain us. In my opinion, both of them can be really good actors. 


Jungkook Vs Woohyun

Similarity: They are playful and fun loving people who have their serious and manly moment. In addition, they are both rather good in sports and have beautiful voice. 


Jimin Vs Hoya 

Similarity: They are one of the best dancers in their group. In fact, they both have nice body to show off to their fans. Most of the pictures, we can see the both of them wearing sleeveless shirt/singlet. What can I say except that they do catches my eyes on stage with their charisma? 


J-hope Vs Dong-woo

Similarity: These two rappers and main dancers have warm and friendly personality. If I first get to know all the members in the group, I will most probably approach them the first in order to speak comfortably without much awkwardness. I just feel that they are more approachable and smiley. 



Suga Vs Lee Sung-Jong

Similarity: They are more difficult to understand among all the members. The fact that they are more "mysterious" and hard to figure out or predict their action and mood swing is something that connects. I observed that the both of them look the best when they did cross dressing as a girl with their delicate facial feature, slim body and fair skin. 



Rap monster Vs Kim Sung-Kyu

Similarity: They are both born to be leaders. It is known that both of them have the quality of a leader and they have the respect from their members. Most importantly, they know when to joke around and when to be serious.

BTS theory behind their music video

  No comments    
categories: ,

Introduction: Bangtan Boys or widely known as BTS by the international fans. This is a Korean boy band which consist of seven members. The leader is Rap monster and the other members includes Jimin, J-hope, Suga, Jin, Jungkook and V. Their music is a mixture of  Hip hop and Kpop which blended in with their idol image. The reason why the management choice of using Bangtan as the group name is because they wanted to represent a new generation who are bulletproof, which means these boys are not confined by the society or how other people look at them. Therefore, their group logo is the picture of a bulletproof vest. Their music style portray themselves as a strong, unique and tough individual that connects with the youth of this generation. 

BTS dances well to different types of choreography in their music video. They are a bundle of joy to have around and all of them are talented in their own ways. Recently, there has been many discussion about BTS music video which actually narrated into a story. There are many version of the theory which linked one music video to another and Big Hit  entertainment has yet to publish their version of the story. This marketing strategy work extremely well. Their fans, otherwise known as army were searching their past music video to look for the connection, in the process it generated more interest in BTS. It looks like the latest trend is to leave behind some clues for the viewers to spot along the way while promoting their songs. This clever idea gives viewer the satisfaction of being a detective and increase the viewership of their music video. We got to give it to the creative director of those music video for coming out with such creative ideas and to generate such publicity for the boys.  To keep up with the topic that people are so interested in, i decided to watch their video and analyse based on my own understanding. It is definitely not a credible theory but it's definitely quite an insightful journey. 

Boys in love

1) The story begins with our rebellious Bangtan boys having a crush on a girl in school. They tried all means to attract her attention, giving flowers and swooning her over with their "romantic gesture" or "childish ways".

No more dreams

2) The boys make it a point to tell us not to get overwhelm with stress in school work and aggregate score as it does not determine our future. It send a message across that the society need to hear and its the voice of the new generation kids that were generally stressed with studies. The youngsters find it hard to cope with studies and expectations from adults and the society. That caused some serious social issue that leads to suicide rate getting higher. 


Just one day

3) This song is about the youngsters desire to date someone. Its a soft and gentle Kpop music that is different from Bangtan image. It still carries the message of wanting to experience love and fantasize about having a girlfriend.

Danger

4) The boys are back to their tough image again for this song. Interestingly, the music video actually shows some scene where the members are doing their own things (dancing, playing basket ball, boxing and playing piano) respectively. That links to we are bulletproof two, where the boys is trying to get the message across - No pain, no gain. In order to achieve their dreams, one needs to work doubly hard. There were disappointment along the way and they did not want to give up.

War of hormones 
5) The boys trying hard to win a girl over and there were conflicts between the members as V eventually get the girl. Apparently, Jin is secretly hurt and is the most affected among his good friends. 

I need you 

6) I need you is a metaphor that is link to Run and the Butterfly effect. The story develop to the boys always stick together and went through thick and thin since their school days. 

a) One day, Jin felt so down and drives his car near the river. He felt so lonely and the heartbreak of boy-girl relationship and stress drove him to entertain thoughts of ending his life. He had an illusion since he did not actually died but his thoughts drifted to the memories with his good friends. He imagines and picture a series of cause and effect in his mind. We see the boys falling hard through the eyes of Jin. 

b) He saw V being heart broken and guilty over his death. He then decided to head home to seek shelter and comfort. However, he witnessed his father abusing his mother and he accidentally killed his father with the broken glass bottle. He is on his way to a downward spiral as he emerged himself in the water feeling sinful. It is his state of mind having no escape in the darkness of self-reproach.

c) On the other hand, Rapmon experienced hardship in life and is trying to accept Jin "death". He tries his best to get back on his feet and work at the petrol station. However, the harsh reality (money thrown on the floor) has caused him to go back to the "I am done with this crap" type of attitude. 

d) Jungguk was also devastated because of the passing of a close friend (Jin) and walked aimlessly on the street. He felt so lost and gets into a street fight. He is looking for a direction in life too.

e) Suga was full of anger and rage over Jin "death" and chose self destruction using fire. It is actually his state of mind getting clouded with anger and sadness. He screamed and throw tantrum to vent his frustrations. 

f) Jimin was drown in his own sadness in a bathtub. He felt depressed, abandoned and cold from the reality of this world. He wanted to stay in his own world, mourning for the loss of a close friend (Jin). 

g) J-hope was also suffering from serious depression as he struggles to live each day with the pain of losing someone that is close to his heart (Jin). He popped these pills to numb his pain and sleep away his problems.

Run

6) The boys run down the road and rebel against the society. They wanted to be "free" and use that as a platform to express their desire to escape from the harsh world. They are in fact running away from their problems. We can see that the boys are mentally and physically drained. The ending when Jimin burned the picture which Jin miraculously disappear from the group symbolize that the whole "dream" is unreal as Jin is not in the picture because he is the one that imagine or watches this series of events happening in his mind. The storyline is a metaphor about cause and effect, decision and consequences. Jimin eventually burned the photograph as it symbolized that they wanted to change their life.

Butterfly 

7) It is all link to the song butterfly as seen clearly Jin is the one that record the moments of these boys. He has the role of a storyteller who view his friends life using the camera. They have their moment of happiness and they can't turn back the clock. When V jump and dived into the water, it symbolize his determination to change his life and he is willing to face those challenges in life. His friends encouraged him and held their breath as they looked at him. It takes a lot of courage to step out of the comfort zone and reach for the sky. 


Forever young 

8) The boys were once lost in the maze and they were finding their way out at their own pace.  In order to walk out of the darkness in their life, they need to have the courage. The world maybe a scary place to live in, but they believe that they will find a way out of the darkness. There will always be friends waiting at the other end and guiding each other out of that darkness.  Forever young symbolize hope for the generation. Never ending hope as we look at things from another angle (upside down). 

Life will always have challenges and some circumstances are not always justified but we still run forward and leave the past behind. Bangtan have grew up from their younger days and is looking forward to another stage of life. They are actually embracing growth but wanted to remain grounded to their roots. It means that they want to remain true to themselves and accept their pasts which makes them who they are today. 

Dope

9) They send the message that it is extremely tough for them to go through life that is different from others at this age. They work hard and play hard and they eventually found their direction in life. That results in achieving success at a young age and they do sacrifice a lot in the process to reach for the sky. 

Fire 

10) After achieving success, there will always be back slashing and people judging them. The story continues as they burn all the critics that tries to pull them down. Suga mentioned burn it up in the song and to me it means burning all the problems and letting go of the pain. Towards the end, Suga said - I forgive you. That to me mean that they choose to forgive the people that inflicted pain on them.  

Save me

Once in a while, they still goes back to the downward spiral and needed someone to save them before they fall again. They are desperate for help as they face life challenges each day and the feeling of being lonely.  This can be seen as encouraging people who are having depression to seek help and assistance. It is clear that they do not want to go back to depression again. With an unpredictable future, they carry on with their next venture of life.
