u: and if you haven't seen our 'the boyz' reaction, yes my hair is clean no it is not oily and dirty
i just got out of the shower, i don't blowdry!
just @ the people in the comments! k: kkeuuHAHA
u: what the frick did you just do? k: i got so into it, was like
"you DON'T, you BETTER NOT, BETTER NOT"
u: it's just like, i feel the need to clarify in order to not disgust our viewers, just say this is clean hair.. not oily
you're welcome.
OKAY, ANYWAYS..
OH!GG, subunit of girls' generation k: it's a subunit
u: yes
that's why they're called oh!gg
and, this is called.. k: which members, cause i know the members of g-girls's generation
u: uhh taeyeon, sunny, that gal.. that's (?).. that gal..
i only know like.. there we go! k: oh my gosh they changed so much over the years, i just can't- okay
u: alright, let's..
we're ready to dive in, neither of us have heard any teasers
k: yeah man, just give that spacebar a "lil' touch"
u: lil touch!
k: okay cool
u: then the steam.. k: oh my gosh, dry ice..
u: dry ice rolls in.. traumatic.. church bells k: 's just carbon dioxide
u: sensual.. lace k: i wonder if the same note will be in the same key
k: oh i don't remember anymore
b minor is a rare key for kpop, so *hand symbol* nice
lalalalala
u: i always.. i already love the harmonies k: why are their syllables so clear? their consonants are so.. clear
k: oh nice
oh good!
u: so here we are, tonic.. bass is touching on tonics, so are the vocals a lot so far
but we're staying lower in the range now, so
u: think the chorus is where k: ooh uupupup, bridge is touched on 6th, but hey
oh i like they added- they adding a reverb
oh this choreo is.. pumpin'
u: so we have this like.. is it 6-1?
in the backround?
is that tonic?
i can't hear the lower note
k: what- wait, is there a lower note? u: yeah!
u: there's a- k: oh man..
u: are your earbuds okay?
k: i like the feeling of the song having not peaked, and i feel like this whole song will not peak
but i just like this mood, i like the vibe a lot
u: mm, the fact that it's just so minimalistic k: yeah
k: it doesn't need the feel for trap- *interpretation of trap music??? LMAO*
u: there ar- k: is that tiffany? (oh honey..)
i think it's tiffany (kevin pls)
u: tiffany isn't a part of girls' generation anymore..
k: ohh fuck.. (skskdksj)
hi guys..
welcome to 2018
oh yeah, i like the way they add the reverb and then
the last phrase of the bridge, they just cut- where the transition is, cut it
oh there's a bit of a trap thing going on
oh that weird middle register, it has 4-5
u: so they're prolonging dominant during the chorus k: oh a nice little..
u: that's five?
k: one.. one u: well this isn't, this is something different
k: but it's not gonna go..
yeah it goes back up so it's not quite a lament bass or descending touch chord
u: the bass sounds-stays the same throughout the entire song, but.. k: i love that little
u: yeah, very interesting k: little reggae stop, offbeat
timbre
k: okay you know, at this point,
u: yeah.. yeah k: the song's lost its luster
u: it's just none.. i think this is a vibe that you really enjoy, for me
if i don't enjoy the overall vibe, just based on (?) i just zone out
and right now i'm zoning out cause there aren't any like, chords popping out
k: yeah u: the vocal melody doesn't move around a lot
like you said, it prolongs dominant, then it prolongs tonic..
we're staying in the key the entire time
like there's definitely fantastic attitude coming from the vocalists, and the dance looks really fun
i just.. *shrug*
k: honestly the same
honestly same, like.. by the end i just wanted to listen to new by LOONA again
(STAN LOONA)
u: when we're comparing like, easygoing, easy to listen to
k: easygoing, and just vibey, y'know with that
percussion that's sorta stuffy
not stuffy, that's not the word
or just a bit more muted
yeah
u: but i don't..- k: lowkey clubbangers
u: this is a lowkey club banger? k: i'd say it's like a lowkey club.. it's like-
the audie- i mean the people have an option to either dance on the dancefloor, or just chill, like
either one is socially applicable because of this song- like a lowkey club song
u: it's interesting, the fact that the prechorus vocal melody is higher in range than the actual chorus
i guess you could consider that a drop since you're building up and then you're going back down
k: yeah.. u: but we have this, the hook is *daa da da duhda* or-
and below, we have this
very simple rhythms throughout the entire song, both percussion, bass, instrumentally, and vocally
but that's what makes it so catchy, and i think also so it's simple and easy to listen to also
umm but yeah, i definitely.. i think that the- even though the prechorus does adventure higher in range, it works
..for me because it didn't- even though it went higher in range it didn't necessarily have that like,
y'know crescendoing instrumental that will, y'know would fake you out if the drop wasn't as hard
k: yeah it was refreshing at first, but by the end i almost wished for just some sort of crescendo or some sort of..
even just a little bit of a timbre change which we never really got
we kind of get an offbeat reggae thing, but that doesn't contribute much u: yeah!
u: like we took out and added in some instrumentals once in a while, but the dynamic..
of the whole song stayed the same, even though you're taking out and adding in
which y'know, creates very- the overall soundscape stayed the same throughout the entire song
and so that's why by the end we felt like we need a little bit of a dynamic change,
that's why we needed like, maybe like some thickness to it..
cause like, yeah like what we said before, this song is.. umm
is very minimalistic and even though towards the end some phrases that they had like a 7th or a 9th chord,
it was so drawn back in the mix that it just seemed very soft and delicate
so nothing in this song is just like y'know hitting you hard, so therefore it was very successful
k: yeah no, i wanna make a comparison to an american pop song that i hate
but listening to this song actually makes me appreciate some things about Ed Sheeran's 'Shape of You', which is..
a terrible song because it's just played so much,
but even in that song, you get here a little synth vibe, vibrophone things in the beginning,
and then halfway through you get the flamenco guitar, so like
if you want a lowkey club hit, you still gotta add some uh
cool instrumental things halfway through or change it up a little bit
just to make it more interesting
so like.. listen to 'Shape of You'
u: haha, i think.. almost everyone knows that song k: yeah
u: yeah anyways thank you for watching our reaction, we'll see you guys later~ k: bye~
*Umu's chair making squeaking noises when it rubs against the wall*
k: what?
k: oh god... u: BYE!!!! (WHAT ARE YOU DOING UMU JHFJFHJS)
