@Oltovos2003 2 года назад

some guy on the original video analyzed the metric modulations and time signature. its switches between a 9/4 and 6/4 feel throughout phrases and within that, theres a metric modulation that goes 5-7-7-5-5-7. i believe the end is something similar but its in triplets and very confusing

@TheLemonKiller 2 года назад

What's crazy is he writes all this shit in a program and then learns it. I'd suggest trying to do the same thing with guitar. I primarily wrote in Guitar Pro and the bass line and guitar parts in some things I'd never be able to come up with just playing around. Trying to learn it though. It's a whole nother thing. Mainly because you wrote something that might not be technically possible

@xJaGG3d 2 года назад

There was a comment on the music video that totally explained the meaning behind the song to a T: the dude basically described the history of the word Monomyth and explained that it means the course that a hero goes through during mythological journeys to grow, and then went on to point out that there are elements of Madness of Many, Joy of Motion, Weightless, and the self-titled AAL album. After hearing this, and knowing about Tosin and the band members, it's blatant to me that it was 100% intentional to do this. Incredible artistry.

I don't think AAL will ever get huge due to them being a band that makes music for musicians. They are all god-tier talented but the "normies" aren't gonna get it I don't think. Not saying that's a bad thing in and of itself, just an observation.
