Loved the Hyperbole and a Half reference :)

Mr. Brightside is like a passive aggressive Layla

She wrote a memoir, and the cover is a pic of her as a young, bratty-looking teenager. So deceptive because my gut reaction was "what does this kid have to teach me?", but after reading it learned that, like this song, there is a lot of substance to her.

Outstanding job! I thought I knew the song well, but that was very enlightening.

19:49 _"...which makes them feel less like a single person and more like a conversation"_ (draws Gollum). No, stop... I can't breathe.... 😂😂😂😂

'So how do you know this song isnt metal?' Proceeds to play Little Lion Man, my second favorite song of all time, which I was dissapointed he hasnt done an analysis of

80s overproduce? Compared to what???

Thank you. Subscribed.

Sounds like plants versus zombies

Technically, the song isn't in C. It is in F Lydian. She was underestimated,

That is the best use you give to music score paper? Well, at least I a, happy young people follow Rick's show. I am 62 and I agree a lot with him. Nevertheless, I learn to appreciate today's pop since I understand not all is the stiles I like, but I have to recognize genius and creativity of most of modern artists, because they really pull a lot of audience, I recognize. Rick, please don't stop. You have a lot of attention of youngsters too.

Hey 12tone! How about Time after Time by Dr. Sin? It's a brazilian power trio you might like :)

He's right, there is so much garbage out there that if there were great music being made no one would ever hear it because what we hear is what distributors think they can sell, control and keep the most of the money from.

I've been listening to Tommy since I was ... 8 or 9, maybe. So for me the resolution on "sure plays a mean pinball" sounds perfectly natural, that's just the way it's always been.

I had to stop and laugh for a second because the isolated harmony vocal line sounded like Jimmy Fallon's rock dude impersonation 😅

Lauds the simplicity of the song, then proceeds to explain why it's not so simple. Elephants all the way down!

Valid criticism is valid because it is executed as art. After watching your posts on and off over the past few years, it struck me to subscribe. Thanks.

It's cause you don't just leave addiction. It's a life long battle, no matter how long someone's been clean for

❓️Influenced by *The Churchills - Straight People* ...?❓️ A 1969 track with a similar feel, vocal delivery, production and theme. Great track 🎵🎶

You mean to say ...instead of composing a melody line , we have to compose a bass line ...and then according to that bass line ...we find the chords ?... Is this figured bass ????

I have absolutely no clue about music theory, and it's a subject that doesn't *interest* me enough for even a cursory overview. But because you explain the results of the the theory (how each choice changes the "feel"), I get a better understanding of some of my favourite songs and (even though I'm already in awe of those people who have spent the time to master their art) I find myself even more impressed at the thought behind the pretty tunes. Thank you. ❤️ (Oh, and for the kick drum, I always thought it was representing a heartbeat rather than time. As you said, something so simple providing so much scope... 😉)

good video

One of the greatest songs of all time, pop or otherwise, frankly.

I did not expect to see Aunt Dirt at 13:12 but I agree; she is a very important addition. This song holds a special place in my heart. I was 15 when it came out, and this was _the_ song of my first true love.

I gotta ask - how do you do your drawings? They're great.....

The movie covered it perfect! :) I love Queen

2:00 Did you just draw River Surges in Sunlight?! You have excellent taste in board games. 😁

Would love to see a reading on aespa. A relatively new kpop group that has some weird songs.

I just re-watched the piece, and not to be intentionally contrarian, but Prince's solo was abysmally horrific. Instead of paying homage or even respect to Harrison's masterpiece, Prince thought the song was about him personally and played terribly showy and non-musical garbage that showed him, once more, to be an egotistic wanker. It was amateurish rubbish playing, too, in my opinion, that didn't fit with the piece at all. I recall this being my exact reaction when it originally occurred as well. This is the part where everyone tells me how wrong I am, and I tell you to re-watch the performance and evaluate what you see/hear and NOT how much you love the original piece (I do, too).

I would never have guessed this song is in a Major key

Omg, I always thought she was lying in her battle gear.

Ian Dury is well worth your time when it comes to writing excellent lyrics. This song, Glimpses, is a punchline tune. You have to listen to the last line to get the gist of the whole song. Beatles - Drive My Car; The Police - Message In A Bottle; The Rays - Silhouettes; The Ames Brother - Naughty Lady of Shady Lane; are all examples of punchline tunes. ruclips.net/video/gQ0cK_eeZ9A/видео.html

Study Chuck Berry. He was the best lyricist of the 50s and early 60s. When most were trying to just make the rhyme he was actually telling stories.

First instinct following Fabri is that an iconoclast can create a genre by not fitting one, and then it becomes a matter of whether other artists fit the definition of the new form. But I hate genre in general because the best artists will flow between them without regard to any potential labeling. Prince, Miles, Regina Spektor, Bjork are among my favorite artists that have no regard for precedent and instead roll with their soul. So I guess it follows that to me Soul music is the only “genre” worth listening to, but it is completely unbounded. Anything that doesn’t come from the Soul is cynical and unworthy. (But don’t worry, I’m very forgiving in my reading of such)

that anicius manlius severinus boethius name made me say wtf?? lmao

The appeal of metal for me is yeah of course the heaviness but it's all about those technical riffs. Definitely prefer tech death over any form of metal but metal is still metal!! Palm mutes and chugging

That's a powerful thumbnail you've got there on your thumb. Bet it picks really well hah

Can you give a breakdown of some technical death metal, like Necrophagist or The Faceless? I know it's not up your alley but I would love to hear the technical analysis of tech death lol

"There's not much voice leading and the chord functions don't make a lot of sense." Yes, there's not much voice leading, but the chord functions are COMPLETELY standard. This is the back half of a circle of fifths progression, IV - viio - iii - vi - ii - V - I, except the viio has been turned into a V, which is basically the same chord, just with a different sound, and the vi has been turned into a IV, which is extremely common as well. IV - V - iii - vi is also the Traditional 80's Intro -- see Never Gonna Give You Up for the most obvious example. Changing the vi into a IV doesn't change this very much. It's also not hiding the key. The F, G, and Em triads together make up the entire C major scale and, in that order, are very characteristic of major-mode music, and that particular combination of functions doesn't make sense in A minor (the Em would have been an E7 in this progression, but even then I think it would sound like a V7/vi in C more than a V7 in Am). This is standard run-of-the-mill C major with no tricks.

Now do the other Time after Time, the one by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne.

The intro sounds similar to Prince's "Little Red Corvette" from two years earlier 😊

Sorry, I'll be the unpopular one... Prince was good but this is just really good pentatonic blues riffs like a million before him. like I said, hes good but the best solo ever? not even close! you would have to discount Hendrix, Gilmore, Page, SRV, Eric Johnson, Beck, Easton, Knoffler, Trower and on and on... not buying the hype.

"European Orchestral Music"?

Please do a video on a Scritti Politti song! Ideally 'Don't Work That Hard'.

The song is huge. This analysis is miniscule

This is a relatively uninformative video that repeatedly uses music theory lingo that most people, including me, don't know. Just maybe "this guy" should have defined a couple of those terms?

It also happened to be her Birthday when you published this video.

whenever I hear that very sparce base drum pattern the rhythm sort of (while listening to the song) in my ears slowly morph into the feeling of a slow resting heart beat. Something about that captures to me that same described feeling of being there.
