Another Word - Talk Talk. Advanced Battle opening theme - Pokemon. A little bit modified the first one. R.I.P. Mark Hollis (1955-2019). You will always be remembered by your music.
What do I do with this information? I can't think of anything, and yet it's so weirdly specific and unexpectedly cool that I feel there must be something...
I think the similarity you’re hearing is the chord progression, they’ll both probably be using the exact same 4 chord structure most western popular music has used for decades
@@Feisty123 Diamond probably has a point. I personally really like the song but the singer Mark Hollis was not content in the slightest with the band’s direction at the time, hence why they completely changed their sound some albums down the line. He was a very shy and awkward man, so that’s probably why he seems to be “chilling”. I couldn’t possibly recommend more Talk Talk’s three last albums, “The Colour of Spring”, “Spirit of Eden” and “Laughing Stock”.
Lyrics: All soldiers have a cause Giving life upon graffitied walls As a way to pass the time (Oooooh) I saw a father's tear For a leader standing over here "Who's the King?" says a passerby (Oooooh) But it's another word It's another word Woooord Woooord Oooooh, I'm unbeatable! Pokémon! Advanced Battle! Oooooh, I'm undefeatable! From the stars and the ancient past, They come to play but they'll never last!
I never had access to the current episodes as a kid, but I remember hearing this theme song and thinking, "This is so cool I want to watch it so freaking bad."
The synth pop, new wave and poppyfied LA styled hard rock movements for sure. The 80s as a whole though... Believe me, stuff like hardcore punk, crossover, doom rock/metal, US power metal, thrash metal (or the extreme music wave from second half of the decade in general), acid house, dark new wave, gothic rock and alt rock sounded nothing like this.
I was at work the other day and the radio they play is mostly 80s songs, and theres one song that made me think for just a split second "wait is this pokemon??" It's not this one, but if i find/hear it again, I'll make a vid about it
