Hello
I'm Umu from React to the K and this is
Kevin, also from React to the K
ready to crush
none of your dreams.
[Kevin noises]
Okay...
Yeah? Yeah?!
[Umu noises]
You know-
-goal in life is to beat him with puns related to the title of songs
that we are reacting to.
I really like this guy ever since I saw him at K-Con LA.
Let's see if he'll crush it once again.
Maybe yours is better
It's like a heartbeat.
oh my gosh
syncopation~
Oh wow
Major fourth minor fourth already
I'm just going to say this sounds like a Crush song, but it's not a bad thing.
Was he - is he forming a triad? Yeah triad?
Not anymore.
It was almost polyphony at the beginning
It was almost polyphony at the beginning [Kevin noises]
while he's doing the none-none-none and then- [Kevin noises]
[shook commentary]
This definitely has a Crush sound but isn't-
as similar as some of his other pieces.
as similar as some of his other pieces. Right right right
It's not samey Yes
This is actually in two keys
I don't know which one has the stronger presence
It's either A-flat or c-minor
A-flat major or c-minor
Cuz then you get the applied chord and C minor
Cuz then you get the applied chord and C minor c-flat minor
and then you applied chord back
to A-flat major.
oh and the "none"
I love love lo-
OH MY GOD
Wow, he stays there
stays there even more
and more
Wow I don't know
That entire thing was in his falsetto.
He does that uh-uh to move back down to
well now he's doing falsetto again
Nevermind
We're still in 4/4
-that syncopation I've been questioning everything
More falsetto
Yeah
Oh that bass note
Oh it's different
[Umu references to something]
That is a chord I don't even know
I don't even know what that is
I don't know what's happening
Oh my god See, polyphony-ish
It's so great
Major
What is it?!
Wow
I just don't
Oh that piano
I love the black and white-
It just doesn't stop becoming inventive- -with this colorful song.
It's so colorful
What is that last chord?
What is that core that he ended on?
It's so good
It's so good THAT WAS SO GOOD
That was so fucking good
One of the best songs I've heard a very very very long time.
We had the same exact-
percussion samples synth things repeated throughout the entire thing except for the moments of silence that he went acapella
and we had a piano
and then his voice was like the chorus
There's so much to point out
so many cool harmonies and both
both his vocals creating full-on chords
at times possibly even a seventh chord
but I think most of the times during like the none-none-none
those were triads with
All of them are seventh chords
All of them are seventh chords Are they all seventh...?
I think all they chords, yeah
All the chords in the song are sevenths
Even the fourth chords lol
That first note
That's in seventh
[Singing] Seven six five
[Singing] Seven six five Higher
[Singing]
[Singing] Seven six five
I also heard a-
[Singing]
Those were the three notes that I heard.
Oh really? Yeah, two three five seven.
So it's very crunchy. It's not-
Yeah, very far from triad. So there are no triads in this song.
I heard three notes, but I'm missing some-
Not a triad.
My bad, sorry.
But I-
[Umu noises]
Freaking brilliant.
Your turn. Yeah it was awesome.
I mean does this song even have cho-
Is it verse-chorus-verse-chorus?
Can you say it's verse-chorus-verse chorus?
There are two verses
But the second time where there should be a second chorus
it does something totally different
and then they introduce new cords and
cords that
aren't even in any key
Just complete almost clustered chords
and that last chord made no sense
but um
I really like the
what felt like a bridge was probably just section 5
where the piano came in and I think that piano sound really complimented it
like it's weird because it's very prominent
It's not like underneath. It was just as loud as the voice but because they were all working
I don't even want to call it syncopation. I want to call it rubato
Because they're not they're purposely not going in any subdivision of the beat. They're completely doing their own free thing
It was weird. Yeah, but when they come together, you hear like the interact- there's still an interaction going on. That's awesome
I really like how the percussion didn't feel the need to get any louder
than the heartbeat that we felt at the beginning. I think that
there- yeah sure. There might be other songs that do that but not that many at all
That was amazing
But none of our words-
could do it justice. Exactly.
That's why I like I want to say so much more, but I think I'm just gonna leave it at this
because I was so moved by that.
I thought the music video complimented it so well
didn't take away from anything just added more of a mood to
Everything that was happening in the song
I mean, I won't look at the lyrics for this because I wonder if maybe this switching between major and minor
could maybe be fueling something maybe?
Actually you're right it's sort of like a love-hate
relationship going on in the lyrics
he like, kind of
it's self hate but also like
Yeah, but also like liking this person
yeah I guess you can interpret it that way
Yeah, when I'm in the dark you brighten my life.
Maybe it's going for a minor to major there
It's possible
Brilliant
100 out of 10. Yeah. Thanks for watching guys. Bye
