Kevin: lil parallel 5th
Man their voices compliment eachother when they sing it's... AAAAAAAH Isaac: WOOOAAAHHHHHHH
So this is a collaboration between Lee Jin Ah and
and SHINee's lead vocalist named Onew
The song is written by Lee Jin Ah, Simon Petren and Andreas Öberg
and the lyrics by Lee Jin Ah and her CEO Yoo Hee Yeol
She's got a really nice voice - Yeah she's cool
This was released in 2016 and it's a jazzy pop duet
and the lyrics talking about wanting a friend in the dark gloominess of the world
AKA a bright star against the night - Right you know
Hey oh! oh! oh! oh!
Technical difficulties please stand by
There you go! - There you go !
Ooh - That's kinda cool visually
That line how it shifted between instruments - Yeah yeah yeah
sounds. That was pretty cool
That was sick
It's kinda like harp-y and then the piano, kinda bit?
Vibrated bass down there that was cool
Ooh stand-up bass yeah
We love her song writing
Nice use of percussion too with the shaker
It's like he's like
tsh tsh tsh
With like different layers he's using brushes I think on the snare and a side stick on another snare
Oh god so good
That was a b7 well yeah
b7 vii
b7 dominant vii chord
I don't necessarily mean it in like an insulting way Henry: awwww so cute
but this type of music for me
is what I would call intellectual music
like this requires some sort of brain power to
to like... yeah
to like understand and to make and to listen to
and it's actually intriguing it gets your mind thinking
I like how he has a nice soft low voice underneath hers
Also his voice paired with hers is very nice
I also like that it's a very limited texture
he just brings there just an octave for a long time
I think I would rather that the chorus be his voice
Yeah well, his voice.. This is one of the few times I'm gonna say I'm not I don't like the lower voice
Yeah - This one
I think he's trying to match the breathiness of her voice
See that sounds more natural - Yeah it's better when it's full tone
I like the motion of the chords that they use so it's like you have passing chords
instead of passing notes you know just like bah bah bah
I like that
Is there string bass in this
Cool
Like upbring bass yeah
That's a good classic jazz thing too - Feels so good
Is this like a jazz trio
He's such a good buddy
Just change tonal areas all time
this music is good
See I feel like it works much better now that they're harmonizing instead singing unison
No totally I feel like
their voices sound much better in harmonizing
their moulding together better I think
oh yeah I agree with that
Lil parallel 5th
man their voices compliment eachother when they sing it's inc...
(rip ears)
We're on a trip !
I feel like I'm tripping some heavy balls right now
Love this animation
wow!
Hugo's like.. - Taking a magic carpet ride
Oh my god it's like a rollercoaster through space
I'm like in love with this
Oh woah ! they did !
Oh the twinkling of the piano this song is so like
this star space aesthetic - Well his face has nothing on it...
... and hers just have lips
This is creepy
Like they're back in F major but...
Little mixolydian action COME ON
Was it mixolydian
No lydian
Another modulation !
This song litterally ascends
This song transcends
and ascends while people are descending the stairs
What is the meaning behind that ? I need to know
I want to take just a bit of breathiness out of his voice
it's what I think it is - Yeah
He's trying to match her breathiness
aw she wanted a star against a dark sky
And she got like 80 000 stars
I love the way the piano is mixed it's so warm
You don't hear a warm piano on pop music that often
See
This song ends on like a ii chord or something
Or something like that
Holy crap that was really good - That was amazing
I really liked that / oh my god - that piano was really well done
I feel like if I could redo life I would do jazz piano
Yeah so what did you think about it musically and then you can talk about
the music and the video combined
It was just so - I really loved that
just like the whole aesthetic that derive from
between piano from her like... like...
and lovely little voice
with like the bass and like
it just had such a good vibe and the stars
with the visuals like it all tied together
in a nice nebulous little package of cute
The piano was like very high
it was playing chords like in a normal way
but then it went into a lot of higher like twinkly kind of stuff
which was.. I mean it's called Starry Night I think
it kinda fit it was kind of interstellar like that kind of stuff
and then
her voice being very high and his voice wasn't really
that low too so they both
like their registers it just kinda felt like it was all kindof floating
It was very loafty
Like if you think about music sometimes you can imagine it being like here, here or here
and in the past it has been really up here like very trebble-y
but this was in a good vibe feel of wafty like floatiness
like it was effortless
Yeah effortless - it was
Yeah it was overall effortless and they weren't trying too hard
to get to result because they're both very talented and very good
It fits the jazz
I thought it was really cool how instead of just relying on
just one drumset beat they layered multiple percussion
like multiple percussion instruments playing over eachother
if I was one drumer, I couldn't do all those things so you could tell
they were doing a lot of overdubbing which is very nice
cause it creates a cool layered effect
Jim ??? does that a lot in his percussions
for his songs
It's just really really cool the sound that it produces I guess
I thought, the use of instrumentation combined with
the timber of their voices worked really well
As I mentionned earlier I thought
when they sang the same note together in unison
I thought this wasn't quite as successful as a harmonization
but the harmonization part was
that was pretty cool yeah
I think... so it was kind of weird
her voice sounded much much better in her
style and context like this when it was kind of breathier and more calm
I think the songwriting obviously was phenomenal - Awesome
but I think
his voice was actually not suited to the style
when he was singing solo and was letting his actual voice come out
and not adding any of that breathiness
I think it kind of... - Well I think also
that he could
he could sing this style but I think he was affecting his voice
to make it more in her style - To match hers
I think there was a bit of airiness overall and like
It may have been intentional - Yeah
Yeah that's the thing I was saying like this was a choice they made
I think having her do that. I think her voice sounded great with that
and in her style
Her by all means I'm not saying she should have changed anything
but I think if it was a choice that they made to make him a little more breathy
I would have made it, not that they would have needed it a bit brassy by any means
But just a little more tone
A little more on the core of his sound. A little more on his tone
Cause I think it would have grounded it a little bit more
And there's way to do that. There's way to sing
in a more just kind of style where you
stay on your tone without adding breath
You have straight tone a little bit more - Yeah you kinda have like
the core of it and then you add this stuff on top rather than
getting the affect by taking away the core
Yeah and I mean we heard some of that - Yeah
When he had a solo verse, we heard a little bit of that
I thought the bridge was excellent
When she was going on a trip on the rollercoaster ride
I thought the way they also mimicked that in the music was awesome it kind of was a mixture
it was an excellent exampler.. example of
exampler ?
Exampler
of kind of atonal mixture into tonality
Yeah
I tought it was really really well done
Yeah so what did you thought of this song overall musically
It was amazing - It's what you think of good music
It's a perfect jazz infused pop song
It knows what it wants to be It's a great collab between the two singers
and it's very well produced
I don't know the chorus is just fantastic
they just keep modulating upward
to show oh! we're going somewhere
or we're looking for something
I feel like the visuals were so trippy and I couldn't
stop looking at it
like for instance the aspect of searching things and the passage of time showed through
Newton's cradle and the cat
was just like sitting around like throwing tails around
and like going down the staircase you're goign through somewhere
and it's like oh looking for a phone number to ring and then
they're waiting for the phone
Man I wasn't paying attention to that
Well you were paying attention to chord - I was just screaming
Yeah but it's like you know the chords
They do matter
Damn and also the
minor 6 and 4 it was like the peak and the main motif
it was like "da dee da da da"
That's not minor 6
Oh shit - I think it's a major 6
Major 6 ok now !
but what about those instances where it's like
Well sometimes they use their tenth chords when it's technically minor 6 plus a 7th chord but
WOOOOW
