Song Analysis, Piano Arrangements, Goofballin, some original music from my project "Power Bait." I do these when I have the time and about whatever I'm into at the moment. If you like my stuff, the best way to support me would be to buy one of my albums off bandcamp. You can also send me an email if you'd like to book a lesson. Have a nice day!
I just started piano lessons 2 months ago but your channel is making me wanna just go for a full music degree bc i only understand about 30% of what you’re saying but I find it all very interesting. You definitely got my attention with these breakdowns of Kate Bush and Judee Sill. I know she’s not everyone’s cup of tea but if you ever make a video on a Joanna Newsom piano tune i’d probably die where i stood (from happiness)
thx so much for sharing! Yeah, I'll admit some of my stuff is a bit too fast for the beginner, but soo glad you enjoy them! I've actually been wanting to do something off Have One on Me for some time, I looove that album. Don't want to be arrested for murder tho
@@addyd.3140 Have one on me is an all time fav. I’d be curious to hear your take on some of her new unreleased songs she premiered last year. They’re all piano based save for one. Rovenshere and Marie at the Mill have this really cool cyclical thing going on that i’d love to hear analyzed one day
Oh man, I feel like you can read my mind about songs I would like to understand. I have been obsessed with this song for years. Incredible job as always.
Wow! thanks man I appreciate all the effort and detail you went in to here. it's nice to have a an analysis that doesn't just focus on moving on the I II IV transition non-stop lol. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that one of his favourite songs was ill be back by the beateles. watching this made me think of that, how it switches back and forth from the a to aminor in the verse witht he same ambiguity. anyway just thought you may be interested. thanks again!
Haha, yeah I know right? A lot of folks tend to fixate on that chord move and call it a day, but there's really a whole world to unpack. I'm glad you see that too, and that you liked the vid! Yes, I remember that tune, great example! The door kind of seems to revolve freely between Maj / min.
Wanted to come back to this video and say thank you, thank you, thank you for putting me on to these guys. They've become one of my favourite groups to listen to, brought so much joy to me and my friends, and given me so many ideas for my own music. They really do feel like one of those groups that "should have been bigger."
Hello Addy, I'm having trouble with a chord in the intro. It's the chord right before the "pretty Mary Kay" melody. It's the third bar, is it a G7? With an F/G on the bottom? Thanks! Hmm. It sounds like he put a C7 on the end. I meant to say that I am playing guitar.
Hi, not super sure which you are asking about. "the chord right before the "pretty Mary Kay" i like to call g minor (first with a 6th then a 7th). "the third bar" i'd say Bb7. Cheers.
Thank you for this video! Only things I would've wished for is less opinions about the "fixes" 🤷🏻♂ allow us to think for ourselves. It's really a treat that you played these for us and I will definitely be returning even if just to hear these songs beautifully expressed on the piano.
Thanks again Addison. Your arrangements are awesome and you pick the best songs. Are you putting together an analysis video for this like you did for "Don't Talk"? Arranger Rick and Sharpie/Flatson were a lot of fun.
Thanks so much for the encouragement! haha, yes A.R. is due to make another appearance for another Harmonic Landscape Tour very soon while the weather's still good. For some, like this, I really just wanted to play my version that I'm hearing and keep it simple, pure. (and a lot less editing time...) But it can always be augmented/expanded upon later!
Almost 50 years since Judee Sill died, but people still remember and and younger ones discover her amazing music. Thanks for this, one of my favourite pieces (and I say this as a fan mostly of classical music).
Thanks for making this, I've toyed with doing something like this for a long time, but yours is amazing. I learned so much theory and technique from elliott by pure osmosis, when I went to music school putting names to his techniques was validating and interesting. You've hit a lot of the big ones, would love to see more on how they interact, especially the way he constructed melodies in 3/4 and 6/8 and how they differ from his common time melodies. His harmonic instincts were absolutely killer as well.
I have a question regarding sweet Adeline It seems Elliot is mixing G Major and C minor, can you Tell me how that works? Its because g and c are very similar or is He using c Major with a Major II vhord?
I have not played that one, though I never really heard it as having a solid tonal center, personally, but worth investigating. I hope to check it out and get back to you when I get a moment!. unless anyone else cares to chime in???...
Loved the video! I started learning to read music about two years ago and i’m currently studying it as a part of my college program for recording/live sound. Listening to you analyze songs i’m so familiar with makes me feel inspired to dive into charting out songs on my own for analysis. Anyways, you deserve way more views than what you’re getting at the moment, I hope more people find your channel, it’s great quality. (P.S I’d love to see more Elliott Smith analysis)
god this video is so well made, as a huge elliott fan who’s just getting into music theory a video like this is such a cool way to learn these concepts and ideas, thank u bro
