“I love challenges. It’s always good to step out of the comfort zone, and this channel documents one such journey. Rock music is not young and new anymore, so we can say it is enduring the test of time. If it has any significant value it deserves more than mere casual listening. Often, what is not instantly relatable holds the deepest meaning and value, so I decided to put time and effort into looking deeply to see what Rock offers us. I’m making this journey public and hope you enjoy it and are inspired to take a new challenge, too!”
After Disney & Clear Channel/I Heart Radio bought every radio station and became a monopoly, no challenging music was played. Only silly Song are allowed
Ya know i think that It's kinda funny how you compare David Lovering's drumming in this song to that spifcific style of music known as "bossanova" only....because that's in fact what tha name of tha album is that this track is from....
ELO was a kinda "the beatles at the era of disco music".The discovery album is such a pure gem and a madeleine de Proust of my childhood like crimes of the century by Supertramp
for me, the drum beat ends and the final line "The show must go on" comes in before a natural/comfortable amount of time after the "wheres the feeling gone? will i remember the song?" questions. i always felt this as he's being ushered along before getting a chance at resolving the internal questions/turmoil building.
Meatloaf nicknamed by his father, as a baby coz he looked like a small pink lump,like his mother's meatloaf (before cooking presumably) as told on Australias TV show Spicks and specks. When this came out there had been nothing like it for our generation before. Even riding our pushbikes with a tape recorder occy strapped to the handle bars, playing the cassette at full bore.
@Virgin Rock just for the record, there are no electric guitar and bass guitar in this tune, what you thought as guitars are actually clavinet and the bass guitar is a moog synthesizer. Though I can understand you thought they were because it was actually mimicking those instruments you thought.
I wrestled with this song for a very long time. I really didn't want to like it, but I finally gave in and realized that Cobain and Nirvana really achieved something special here. Part of it was due to Cobain's natural talents, but it also might have been a stroke of luck as well, because Nirvana screwed up many live performances of spectacular songs over the years.
I’d like to see somebody do a study that simply counts the number of notes used in top ten records over the last century. I suspect that it will be fewer in recent decades, with purely diatonic music (and therefore limited to the seven notes of that heptatonic scale) being more prevalent now than in previous decades. It’s difficult to find ANY Beatles songs that are purely diatonic. Even the most seemingly simple of their songs almost invariably have moments of chromaticism in them. I suspect it would not be at all difficult to find Taylor Swift songs that are 100% diatonic.
During the parts of the song that say "Say the word and be like me, etc.," one of the voice/harmony parts is just the tonic note "D" repeated. Or, you could think of this repeated D as being the actual melody (with all of the accompanying notes being the harmonies) in which case the melody would just be the note D over and over again. This is the one note that Paul was talking about. (and the harmonium drones the D as well).
You really need to listen to 3 Chains 'O Gold from the "Prince and The New Power Generation" "Love Symbol " album. You'll definitely hear Freddie Mercury and Queen influence.
I love Black Sabbath for the aesthetic of the image painted by their music. The colors painted by the music is wonderfully matched to the name of the band and their album covers. Their self titled albums songs sound like the cover, bleak, melancholic, and of course doomed. Color in Black Sabbath, both lyrically and instrumentally is a tool used so well to immerse the listener to the environment that a black sabbath takes place.
I think the “one note” they are talking about is the “word” note. It isn’t literally the only note in the melody (acknowledged in the comment that they “came close” to achieving a one note melody here), but they really hammer it in the verses. It’s the minor third over the tonic major chord, and the minor seventh over the dominant chord. You could view the other notes as mere ornamentations around that central note
Jimi’s playing isn’t about being technically brilliant. His playing is just raw, there’s a human element to his playing. I doubt I make any sense by saying that but I hope you know what I mean.
This performance breaks my heart every time. That shattered, haunted wail on "shiverrrrrrr!" followed by his gasp of breath and the opening of his eyes kills me every time. Her cello makes this version extra mournful, which fits into the funeral like atmosphere created by the candelabras and the lilies that surround them. Almost like Kurt knew what was coming, and wanted to attend his own funeral. Truly an iconic performance. ❤
One way around the copyright crap, i seen on other channels.... is they do all kinds of cuts every 5 seconds or so. So eventho it's chopped up, you get a feel for the song , without hearing all of it. Much much more music, than the way you Do it Now!
These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arm Through these fields of destruction Baptism of fire I've watched all your suffering As the battles raged higher And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line on your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms
One RU-vidr slows down the video to half speed and he instructs you to change the speed to double in the settings to be able to watch it normally. He seems to get his Beatles' videos up that way while still being able to play the entire song
John sings a chorus of She Loves You at the end of All You Need is Love as a way of emphasizing Love as a motif throughout their work since the early recordings.
The move from Eros to Agape was a major movement in their maturation. It freed them artistically from the constraints and limitations of always writing about teenager romance, a worn- out theme which had dominated pop music until Dylan disrupted that convention.
Check out the chords that the harmony vocals are forming over the musical chord changes to have a sense of how delicious this arrangement is. In lesser hands this would be a bland pop tune - the magic is in the vocal arrangement.
