Musicians react & analyze ♡ SKZ - Photobook

Okay this one was sad :'( Had a feeling since Holiday, but the lyrics hit so hard with the last two tracks of Do It album that we almost went into denial mode :') Probably the first time we talked about the message first before the music. That's not to say there weren't much going on musically—there were lots of fun things to discuss there too—but the fact that we all know what's coming forced us to focus on the lyrics this time around. Whatever happens, we're here to support SKZ, and to share our thoughts with you all :):) So let's keep it coming. Next up will be Do It Festival Version as well as Turbo version to lighten the mood a bit :') And of course, if you wish to watch our reaction to every single SKZ tracks, Kids Room series, SKZCode, extra performance clips, get early access, and much more, visit http://patreon.com/handsomesausages !

They have a special talent for making me cry ㅜㅡㅜ

Lady Athena

This song is gonna be sooo good when sing live💕💕💕 gonna hit more emotionally

Bella Fontaine

I feel like they are preparing us for at least a couple of them going to military service and the rest of them possibly taking a break while that happens?

hansterfelix

Also, with the amount of enlistment jokes leeknow makes I don't even know how much more preparation I need lol and idk if it's just me but I'm kinda hoping they all go at once and come back at once too 😭

This song has been living rent-free in my head lately, which honestly surprised me. I didn’t think I’d fall this hard for a more ballad-type track, but here we are. That said, this whole album has been kind of insane, and I genuinely can’t pick a favorite because every track has these little moments that really stand out. Also, one thing I’m really glad I did for myself with this album was avoiding all the teasers, especially the mashup; I’m so grateful I didn’t listen to it, because I feel like it would’ve set my expectations way too high (like what happened with Karma).

Also, not sure where to put this, so I’ll just leave it here: about two months ago, Han did an OST for 'Typhoon Family' called “Updraft.” You might already know about it, but if not, and if you’d be up for adding it to your never-ending list of things to react to, I’d highly recommend it. It’s an alternative rock track, and from what I know, it’s his first solo OST since debut. It suits him really well. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjRLFFo-8lA (MV)

Oh my, im late. No it was I.N's favorite track. This song is fucking beautiful and you're going to love it. Exfuckingactly Han-C. I have been saying that since I heard it for the first time. It sounds like a Japanese track. Oh yes the vocals on this song is stunning. Also I absolutely loved that D'some gasped so dramatically when Felix started singing. I didn't say Japanese anime but it definitely sounds Japanese to me. Yeah I.N's s part in the second verse made me start tearing up. Oh no, just wait for the explosion...And it's precisely at this moment when I started bawling my eyes out. Y'all don't understand how much I love it when all of them sing the same lines together. And then it ending with Lee Know after it started with Lee Know, yeah it took me the fuck out. I'm crying Han-C, what do you mean they did? I know you don't listen to the lyrics but my guy 🤣😂. Jesus fuck not you too. Everybody has been saying that. About the military. Okay so the switch in the song from how it sounded in the beginning to it adding the guitar remind me of the song fate from their album Hollow. Okay hearing all freak out about changbin this song kind of reminded me that you guys need to listen to In The Dark by stray kids and DJ Snake. Oh my gosh I don't know how I forgot about the festival version and the Turbo version. I think I like the overdrive version more than the turbo version but the turbo version makes me dance more.

Remember Puppy said he wants see this as the finale at a concert and everyone said it would be too sad.

포토북 정말 너무너무 좋은 노래고 좋아하는데... 말씀하신 것처럼 가사때문에 개인적으로 온전히 즐기지 못해서 아쉬워요... 눈치가 아무리 없는 저조차도 포토북 가사를 처음 접했을때 솔직히 심장이 철렁했답니다 ㅎㅎ 사실 앨범이 나오기 전부터 슬슬 생각하긴 했던 일이지만요 직접 듣는건 또 다르니까요.. 아직 멤버들 그 누구도 군대 언급은 없기도 하고 내년 9월에 리우의 페스티벌 헤드라이너로 나가니까 그때까지는 활동을 할거라고 생각해요 국가의 의무니 어쩔 수 없다는걸 알지만 2년 가까이(어쩌면 더 오래) 완전체를 못본다고 생각하면 심란해지는건 팬으로써 어쩔수가 없나봐요... 사실 다같이 가서 다같이 복무를 마쳤으면 하는 바램이 있지만 그게 말처럼 쉬운일은 아닐테니까요 그저 건강히 무사히 다녀오길 바랄뿐이에요 ...정말 솔직히 말하자면 최근 나온 스키즈코드를 보고나서 더 걱정이 되는겁니다 한이랑 창빈이랑 이엔이는 제가 대신 입대를 해야만 할것 같고 막... 예...🥺🥲

Daxeah Reacts

I absolutely agree with yall, I do think they had the military service in mind when they wrote this song. I know a lot of people are taking it as SKZ singing to STAY, but I can't help but think they are also singing to each other... that is why this song absolutely destroys me. Like, yeah, they are saying goodbye to STAY, and that is sad, but I know how close they are as a group. They have been together, living together, working together, and vacationing together for 8 years. I know it is going to be hard on them to be apart.

I absolutely love Photobook. 😭😭 I’m a sucker for this style of music. They sound so beautiful, the lyrics are heavy, and the fact that Chan said he thinks he’d cry if they sang this song at a concert (from the intro video) I think solidifies the feelings behind the song. I would LOVE a full translation for it. But I know it’s a lot of work but I love this song 😭😭 🩶🩶

yoshi

my fav song on the album it’s so good

Shayed

I still can't listen to this without feeling like I'm going to start crying. Feels like a military soon song and I hate that it's so beautiful.

J.A. Moore

That's what I'm hoping for - that they all go at once. My theory (based on no solid evidence whatsoever) is that they've been recording individual songs and album material that will be released while they're serving. I think Bang Chan will handle that (with help from Versachoi, etc) while Felix gets some much needed, more in-depth treatment / therapy for his back that wouldn't be possible if they were still traveling and performing. But again, that's just my own theory.

J.A. Moore

Ohhhhh his solo OST is amazing. It's PERFECT for his voice. I can't wait for HS to react to it.

EL Knox

No matter what this song makes me cry ... even before I read the lyrics, the music feels like a goodbye, and after the intro video I also knew it was for STAY and that made it feel even more emotional... but they always say that they want to be together as Stray Kids going forwards ... so even if they go to army, hiastus very nice long R&R holiday .. I feel like they will always comeback together eventually. I love all the vocals in this track ... always love a Changbin, Hyunjin, Felix vocal moment... and this song really shows off a lot of their development and versatility. > Felix singing in 2 different tones for his parts ... Light and then Husky Felix in one song is always a treat, reminded me of 'Stray Kids' by 'Stray Kids'... > Hyunjin singing "I do know I have to leave for awhile without you" ... does feel like a not so subtle reference to the military. 😭😭😭😭 >HAN's vocals towards the end .... like an arrow to the chest!... INCREDIBLE... the ACE of Aces Ladies and Gentlemen. >Finishing with Lee Know... the final member selected for SKZ by Chan and the eldest of the members to be going off to military (although I kind of hope they all leave at the same time, rather than drag it over years.... but who knows.) In saying that they are Headlining 'Rock in Rio' in September 2026 ...record fast sellout too!. So hopefully that means we still have some more time before their big break... AND I just know that Bang Chan planned something for that time ... It just feels like if Chris could foresee it, than he planned for it.... and the military is unavoidable.... so he probably started planning after they debuted lol. All and all I feel this album is very reflective and empowering for both SKZ and STAY ... throughout all the songs I get the message that you shouldn't hold back, do what you want to do, and with that hard work you can afford and deserve a break, but you can always come back and remember all the good and hard times it took to get you where you wanted to go/be..... Love, Dreams and Stray Kids ... and a lot of hard work and mateship will get you through!... so DO IT. My heart aches BUT MY GOD I WANT THIS LIVE!...tissue sales will skyrocket. I.N said that they are performing a song at the end of year which they have never performed before ... so this as well as a few from Karma are on my list .... but there are a lot to choose from.

Guys I cry the first time hearing this song, didn’t know what the lyrics say ANYTHING, just the music and there voices, it feels so emotional and you can feel it that they felt that too. And know every time I listen to it makes my heart hurts so bad bc I know what this could mean, we know the military service is getting in the view, we don’t really talk much about it, but I know stayville knows and they know they we know Lee know (lol I couldn’t resist). Is such a beautiful song, I loved so much is one of my favorite with divine. I always love hearing them sing, yeaaaah Changbin, Felix and Han was WOW, and the fact that Lee Know starts and finish the song after they all sing together always makes me emotional idk is so pretty 😭 I didn’t think about the order of the songs with Holiday and Photobook but I think you have a point, how in one they want a break and in the other they want to remain in the moment, and I think is a relatable feeling, they are so happy with everything they being living this year, we can tell, they look happy, and thinking that they gonna need to take a break (but actually they need a vacation fr hope they can have one) for long period of time for SM. I’m sure is not right now now, but I can understand it could be difficult for them, they love perform, they love doing music together and I can tell is hard for them to think of that, sometimes we think that is gonna be hard for the fans, but what about them? This really feels solemn in a way, to finish this with Photobook, is not sad, but nostalgic, is not a goodbye but a see you soon. I’m emotional know lol

Robin

It's such a sad way of almost ending the album I can't believe they did that 😭 But to lift up the mood they went to a lot of different variety shows while promoting so as a pick me up I highly recommend Lee Knows appearance on Seventeen's Seungkwan new show! https://youtu.be/4Xv7mPV10jA?si=Ujz1xcDlIU-ivron

Cause I wasn't already crying about this song enough already and then you show up with more heartbreaking translations. Thank you tho.
