#the chord progression there

it's so worth listening to almost 4 minutes of SHC by foster the people just for the payoff of "do you want to live forever?"

in which cure gives me brainrot 5 months after release

so ive been transcribing the guitar parts for cure and i just have some thoughts regarding the music and its relation to the video

first of all, the guitar motif that you hear front and center in the teaser is pretty hard to spot in the actual song.

it plays very quietly in the left audio track starting from when ivan begins singing his part, and lasts for 7 bars until the main guitar riff kicks in. i think there's interesting ways to interpret this, if you think of this little guitar motif as representative of ivan. by choosing this motif to represent the entirety of round 6 in the teaser video, it's made clear that ivan's feelings are the focus of round 6. in the song it plays quietly, hidden in the mix, as if symbolizing his masking of his true emotions. however, it plays loud and clear as the sole melody in the teaser; not the guitar riff from the intro of the song or the stuttering guitar of the chorus, even though they are more recognizable parts of the song. it's like an audio representation of ivan throwing his round: this is not about the song, or the performance; that is all cast aside for ivan's emotional outburst. something that should have been neatly hidden away is now the focal point of the round.

the next part i wanted to talk about is the ending, the part that deviates from the studio release. after till and ivan sing their individual parts, there is a call and response section where they take turns singing.

till stops singing halfway through this part, and ivan tips over the microphone and goes in for the kiss.

during the kiss, the guitar part from the chorus plays, as if to say that this is ivan's chorus now. it's an expression of his feelings, and ivan is the one in control.

after confirming their scores, ivan leans back and holds till's neck. till closes his eyes.

during this part, the guitar part from that previous call and response section repeats.

the shot switches between ivan and till. till closes his eyes. ivan is shot. ivan looks at till. till's eyes are closed. ivan looks at till. till's eyes are still closed. the guitar returns to the tonic chord, Fm, again and again, and the visuals parallel the same failed call and response as the music. ivan is waiting for a reaction from till, anything in response to his outburst—and till is giving him nothing. and that's how the round ends, no duet, no last run of the chorus, no callback to the intro. it just ends, unresolved.

so anyway i thought that was neat.

Pushing Daisies would make for a killer stage musical, by the way.

that fucking Siracusa 2 PV Song might outright be the best song I’ve heard come out of this game in years. I fell in love instantly

[jokuvainart]

I found the perfect video

[vimbry]

I don't think any of us can analyse a tmbg song as hard as weird al yankovic. that guy locked onto the car crash motifs, final chorus change-up, surf rock interludes, syncopated, non-rhyming stream of consciousness lyrics, and high backing vocals back in 1996

casually sliding into the tag with another cover of mine 🥰

I'm having lots of fun with these! it's helping me to be more confident with my voice which is something I've always been pretty shy about 😅 I hope you enjoy it too!

I also posted a cover of vse kar vem if you wanna check that out too perhaps :)

Traditional music theorists are so funny. They'll give an example of a chord sequence that you just should never write and it's the most interesting thing you've heard all day. If only your music sounded more like this! *plays most generic cadence feasibly possible*

[4x01]

i’m not even joking or exaggerating at all when i say this changed the past present and future of music i am dead serious when i say this is a TRUE cul-tu-ral re-set.

✦ B A R D

She does not consider herself an archer, but the bow feels slick and powerful in her hand. She settles on the peak of the roof, unbothered by the fog and the rain, leather coat unfurling around her. Like the skill it takes to learn an instrument, hunting is as much about patience as it is about precision. Her breath stills. Her fingers flex, the bowstring taut. They will not see the arrow coming. —level 90 compendium

Song descriptions

Bubble: simple and bubbly music. Pop-sound-effect.mp3.

Caine tutorial: also pretty simple. Takes from the end credit theme, it’s more jazzy and fun.

Pomni: she’s still new to the circus, so her music is kinda awkward and stutters. It draws most of its instruments from the digital circus theme itself. In an unlockable second battle she’s a little more confident. Still heavily playing into the circus theme, but a few more original instruments.

Ragatha: she’s got a cheery little tune with a more sharp and foreboding undertone. Some vague glitchy notes that are similar to the abstraction music. Kind of inspired by raggedy Ann music. Possible second battle after a Jax side quest that’s more harsh and a little angry.

Gangle: girlie pop has an anime intro/outro depending on if she’s in her comedy or tragedy mode. I don’t make the rules. That’s it. Comedy is major cords and faster, more upbeat. Tragedy is more bass toned with minor notes and is slower.

Kinger: odd rhythm that doesn’t really sound complete. It seems like some of the notes are missing. But he has some moments of “clarity” that soar upward before they crash down in little weird sounds and fizzle away.

Zooble: fairly basic background notes but different parts add different layers to the music, and new attacks. More punchy and punk with bass and drums.

Jax: chaotic, but has an electro swing twist reminiscent of old cartoons like Oswald and Felix the cat. Eventually could be coded to be binaural, literally running circles around you.

Caine: it would start with his tutorial music, slowly fading into the basic lines of “your new home” or the theme before kicking up into a chaotic whirlwind.

Secret 1: it’s corrupted and glitching. Repeating notes in weird ways. For some reason it kind of sounds like it also taking from the theme song.

Secret 2: it won’t stop laughing at you. It’s chaotic and wild and glitching. It’s creepy and weird and no one likes it.

Secret 3: it sounds vaguely familiar, but it’s missing something. It’s glitching and sad. It didn’t want to be here.

Secret X: upbeat and bubbly, with a more choir-like undertone.

hey guys check out this super cool tadc clip.. (turn on the audio)

Anyways the new era of DW is the most “woke” (/pos) franchise media I’ve ever seen. In 6 episodes it’s been established that:

Doctor is gay

Donna gas a trans daughter, would commit murder to protect said daughter

Doctor has a discussion about assuming pronouns

Isaac Newton played by a person of color

UNIT’s scientific advisor is an ambulatory wheelchair user

The doctor gets killed by a universe breaking deity who takes the form of Neil Patrick Harris acting fruity

Doctor decides Donna’s daughter is his niece now

Doctor is a new guy but he’s still gay and he’s black now

The new companion and him bond over being adopted

The doctor goes on a pro-choice allegory adventure

The new companion’s best friend is a different trans woman, trans woman is shown as lead singer of a band

The Doctor meets another evil deity, this time taking the form of a genderqueer drag queen who represents the evils of corporations hoarding music copyrights

The word “lesbian” is used for possibly the first time in the shows history, referring to the aforementioned trans singer
