i think it's worth mentioning that the responding "T" after "can i get a T?" is also said somewhat quietly and apprehensive, which makes sense because it's the start of the song- it's almost as if the audience is unsure about the music, and the band is filling in their enthusiasm. it ties well with the cheering from the crowd at the end as if they've really grown to like it
i was so excited when you said something along the lines of "these next lyrics are my favorite" when the next actual lyrics were "I MIGHT RAP LIKE AN ENGLISH CHAP"
When he says he might rap like an english chap, its reference to the fictional country of England, obscure trivia like that is why tally hall is so great!
I’ve been a fan of Tally Hall since roughly 2014, slowly getting more deeply intimate with the entire discography and deeper into the history of the band. I’ve always thought that Welcome to Tally Hall was their best song, and I’m sure you don’t agree with that, but I seriously appreciate this analysis into the first three tracks off of MMMM. There was always something so special about it to me, and now I can finally put my finger on it.
My friends refused to commit tally hall fan so im starting a war and screaming weird references at them. Also i love the video *i just thought that'd be something important*
Question and then reccomendation: Do you think that Tally Halls music is deep and physiological? If so I reccomend the band Primus. They are weird and funky like Tally Hall, but they go in kind of the opposite direction with it. Their songs are usually “about” very real events and scanarios and people. But if you peer beyond the veil you see that something ain’t right. If you want a starting song I’d reccomend John the Fisherman. If you want an album i reccomend Green Naugahyde. If you take this up and enjoy the music, I’d love to see a video breakdown of a song or the band similar to this one. Thanks for reading
I think this is one the bests recommendations I've ever received just from scrolling through the comments. Not long ago a friend of mine also told me about Les Claypool and you both are the Lords of good music so... ¿Would you like to talk more about the album? Or just help introduce me into primus if it's no problem :)
@@OuiBaguette05 dude I’d love to. That’s awesome that you checked em out. I honestly think they are a lot like Tally Hall in certain ways tbh but a lot of people aren’t ready for that conversation.
I think welcome to tally hall was the reason I started listening to tally hall in the first place. I got it recommended to me next to banana man and turn the light off. I wouldn’t say that banana man and turn the lights off are any substitute for the experience of hearing mmmm for the first time, but it was definitely pretty close.
dang you were new to video essays when you made this? you could’ve fooled me! very entertaining and well thought out, you can really tell you are passionate about music, thank you for this video as I go about my tally hall lore dive!
Great video! You did a stellar job explaining what makes tally hall so awesome, and I really liked the visuals you incorporated along with the song clips.
Oh also I was gonna ask something yesterday then forgot but I just remembered. Have you listened to Da Vinci's Notebook? Their album Brontosaurus is really good
[6:39] BRISTOL F.2 AND SOPWITH CAMEL F1 SPOTTED, WW1 nerding out time. The Bristol F.2 fighter plane is a 2 seated attack plane introduced in the late war when Britain was losing the air in the war to Germany’s superior fighter pilots, the plane is outfitted with 2 guns, a front machine gun used for front hand dogfighting, and a Lewis gun mounted on the backseat to help the plane avoid get shot down from the back. The Sopwith Camel F.1 is arguably the most famous plane in WW1, it is a single seated fighter biplane with 2 machine guns on the front for dogfighting, the plane gained the name camel from the hump at the front, it is the highest scoring plane of the First World War, with over 1000 enemy planes shot down. Of the approximately 5,490 Camels manufactured, only 8 are known to survive, likely meaning every other one was shot down, lost, or destroyed.
i really love this video and i think you have a lot of potential!! you have personality and you clearly put in effort :) ill definitely be watching more of your stuff!!
Good video, but I have some complaints: 1. The JoJo reference was annoying (because it lasted too long, though I wouldn't have cared for it anyways) 2. You skipped the English Chap rap
I noticed no attempt to justify or defend the english rap, hah. It's a really good album, but that part and Two Wuv make it REALLY difficult to play around absolutely anyone else...
As someone who's known this band since 2015 (far too late to actually watch them perform unfortunately) it's so surreal to see people still finding out about them now. It's great that more people are getting to enjoy them and their music, I know it's had a big impact on me. Apart from that, loved the video! It was a beautiful introduction and explanation to the wonderful chaos that is Tally Hall :)
this might seem dumb but what i think what's great about this band is that a lot of people have already "discovered" them, but there's only so few (like us watching this video) that don't write them off as just a weird quirky music group and actually appreciate what they're doing. I think in a weird way we're all a really niche and special group of people with our own quirky interests who were lucky enough to understand the fucking TALENT the 5 people in this group have
another thing I've noticed in the introduction part is that as the members are introduced, their respective instruments start playing. also, after joe's line about the amp, the guitar becomes the lead instrument in the song.
I was already far too deep in the tally hall rabbit hole so much that I got tinnitis from listening to them 24/7, however I'm pretty sure this video made me appreciate them even more than I already do
@@ElementFreakYT I found them originally from tiktok (THE NON CRINGEY SIDE OF AESTHETIC VIDEOS) with their song Hidden in the Sand. I got into them more thanks to Mewtley using the demo to Spring and a Storm. I then listened to more of their songs. I enjoyed them then
You did an amazing job on this. You should do an extensive dissection of their Good&Evil album. I don't think that anyone else can really give it the scrutiny it deserves.
I'm physically restraining to listen to the entire album again as you play samples. How dare you. Edit: 6 Minutes in bye I'm gonna listen to all their songs now.
this is a really nicely done video, even beyond the quality analysis of the song and album as a whole your editing style, the typography style in particular, looks really slick.
Found hawaii part 2 but accident, then got recommended &, not knowing it was mostly the same group. Then found a comment on variation on a cloud mentioning ruler of everything. Looked up the song and have been in love since. Ps. Banana Man is a gift from God himself
Lol I found this band by a person that sounds like technoblade singing hidden in the sand, and I played the real version on accident. Best accident ever
What’s up noon, I enjoyed this. I have one recommendation for a history/biography/musical evolution. If you’re interested I want to see a one of the Korean-American rapper/actor Dumbfoundead. Thank you
great analysis. Been hyperfocused on tally hall these past weeks for some reason, always loved joe hawleys work but never cared too much about their band. Now, IM ALL, TALLY HALL
Okay, if you like Tally hall, I bet you'll love Lemon Demon, you probably vibe to lemon demon already, but he's the guy who made harry potter puppet pals, helped on music on gravity falls, and made the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny, if you haven't already, PLEASE listen to some lemon demon if you have the time. ALSO 69th COMMENT
You know someone understands a band so well when they do something right and you learn from it so you can duplicate that, I say it because, talking about how well they introduced themselves, you introduced yourself perfectly at the star of the video, like one minute in and I already knew what to expect of the rest of the essat and it was just what I imagined. You're basically Zoomzike but instead of Sonic is Tally Hall, if you don't know what I am talking about check his video "City Escape it's peak Sonic game design"
I stumbled on tally hall through a eddsworld flipnote of “Hidden in the sand” and I really liked it though I didn’t listen to their other songs (except for turn the lights off and ruler of everything and a little bit of the bidding but only the first part) and during summer school I decided to revisit tally hall (though only listening to ruler of everything and turn the lights off) until Spotify decided to play me & and I really liked it and decided to listen to their first album and taken for a ride is my favorite song from their. Haven’t listened to good and evil yet though
Love the video! I recently discovered Tally Hall (as in, 2020l) and I am absolutely fascinated. The amount of times I have listened to their album is just too much. I've wound love a video about the Miracle Musival and Hawaii: part 2, to explore that crazy album (probably one of my favorite of all time). Keep it up dude!
Tally Hall posted a video saying that if they get 30-40 million monthly listeners on Spotify, they will reunite! They’re probably just joking about the number (but hopefully not about them coming back). Either way, I want to bring hype to this situation, and most importantly, to spread the Tally Hall listenership! So please listen and pass on this information! Here’s a link to the video: m.ru-vid.comyK9II6Ap4fk
Great video, but was the jojo reference really necessary? I feel like it does nothing but detract from the otherwise enjoyable and well-written analysis of the song and beginning of the album.
I know I'm four years late, but since you had trouble with his name, think of "hedge" but replace the "h" with "s" and then add an I at the end, like "happy." I see a lot of people have trouble with it, not trying to be a nerd emoji.
I got into them around 2010 and wasn't aware that they stopped making music. I was still waiting for the next album for the next few years in the back of my mind but it never came
Watching this video for the third time now because it is so good :) I love hearing people talking about tally hall because i stumbled across them a year ago and since then they've been my favourite band Kinda sad i was so late but looking into them is really fun lol
I found Tally Hall through Banana Man back in 15, and it’s been a fun ride, since. Finding them, thinking they’re a comedy band, then playing another song and being confused about what I found. Listening to Tally Hall makes me feel like I’m missing out on life, and it really gives me motivation to go out there and make something of myself, just like five, six if you count Bora, guys from Ann Arbor did. These guys had a passion, and are still chasing it, even if it’s not the way we’d exactly want it
