Kevin: Oh!
Umu: Hi guys, I'm Umu, Reacttothek channel creator,
Kevin: I'm Kevin, Reacttothek member...
Umu: And if you like any of the fanart that you see on the wall behind us,
I have all the information about the super fanartists in the description, if you want to check them out!
(claps) Um, so,
Infinite, "Clock".
(vibing gestures) Infinite had a comeback...
yeah!
Kevin: (joking) Let's 'clock' in!
Umu: This clock - we're clocking in late,
sorry about that, guys.
Hickory dickory dock,
the mouse ran up the (hits play) clock!
The clock st-
Kevin: Oh, geez.
Umu: (still on the Hickory Dickory Dock reference) Strike twelve and something - something
Kevin: Elves.
Umu: (STILL on the reference) ran down.
Kevin: (now back on the reference) And the mouse,
made elves. Umu: It's a phone
(snapping back to reality)
Kevin: Why - why-
(referencing the opening credit) I feel like I've been seeing a lot of videos
that have parental advisory ratings recently.
Umu: (acknowledging) Oh.
Kevin: Rated 'G' for general audience.
Umu: (satisfied) Ooh.
Kevin: Wait-
Umu: I thought it was going to change chords, but we're-
okay.
Kevin: (acknowledging) Uh.
Umu: (vocalizing the bass line) Prolongation...
(when are they going to start?)
(wait for it...)
(there we go!)
Kevin: I feel like INFINITE has a type of melody that they do.
Umu: (hums in agreement)
Kevin: Yeah.
We're kind of mixing the same chords throughout.
Umu: Okay, okay!
Kevin: Yeah.
Umu: Oh, I love introducing of the rap so early on.
Kevin: (hums in agreement)
Umu: When rap appears in - kind of - is the pre-chorus?
Kevin: Yeah.
Umu: Okay, yeah-yeah, I love rap whenever it appears during the prechorus.
Umu: Very "INFINITE" chorus.
Kevin: (more agreement noises)
Umu: Ooooh!
Kevin: Ooh, but the minor iv (four chord).
Umu: I could have goosebumps.
Okay, descending (referring to bass line).
Now back up...
(in awe of the anti-drop)
Umu: Woaaaaaaah!
It's like we're floating!
We had a lot of motion in the beginning of the chorus that just propelled us into-
(mimicking floating in midair)
(Umu laughing at her "floating")
Kevin: How does this song sound live?
There must be so much reverb,
Umu: True.
Kevin: even more (because of the large concert venues).
They-they have to have a version that's like, crystal clear,
to create the same effect in, like, the stadium.
Umu: Already new vocal-
uh, melodic material.
Kevin: Rap?
Yup.
Umu: Yeeeeesss!
Kevin: Oh, sing-rap!
Kevin: Nice.
So the second time-
Umu: (bewildered) It changed again!
Kevin: it's L who sings it, yeah.
Umu: And this time it's like back-and-forth,
call-and-answer,
between the vocalist and the rapper.
(Umu lipsyncs to the chorus drop)
Umu: I feel like an INFINITE 'thing' -
not necessarily 'trope',
but something that appears in a lot of their songs is -
(vocalizing to the chorus) A melody!
then, YEAH!
Kevin: (various agreement sounds)
Umu: Just the 'YEAH',
I feel like there's lots of...
Melody, melody, pause... then (signaling for the YEAH)
(continuous YEAH signaling)
Just like... quarter note.
Or a half note.
Umu: We didn't go into the floaty area this time.
But I guess the bridge counts as the floaty part.
Umu: Why are there so many phones (sound effects) for something called Clock?
Kevin: Right?
Umu: Wow, okay (referring to the abundance of phone noises).
Umu: Wow.
Maybe it's - there's probably some deeper meaning.
Umu: Yeah, I really love how they incorporate it (the rap).
Rapping-
Kevin: So, we're still at the bridge.
Umu: Oh! The lower percussion!
Kevin: Oh, there's a bit of a syncopation thing.
(Kevin vocalizing the syncopated beats on top of the current percussion)
Kevin: (not nearly as visibly shocked as Umu) Woah.
There was a - kind of (fusion)
Umu: YEAH, that was so cool!
Umu: Such a minor chorus.
Umu: (floating interrupted) Oh, again! It's changed again!
Umu: (noting) Outro.
Umu: Octaves in the vocals (referring to the new lower voice also singing the melody).
Umu: Wow.
Kevin: Yeah.
Umu: Probably time passing;
[the] phone calls represent
the people that have come and gone in our lives, I don't know.
Kevin: Or maybe one person.
Umu: Or - or one person.
Kevin: I think that the melody in this song is very 'INFINITE',
and the good/cool thing about 'INFINITE melody' is,
it doesn't try too hard,
and with every/any chord progression the song is given,
it fits right in like a glove,
and I think that's why this song sounds so nice,
and so - good - !
Kevin: Like, even though if you analyze it theoretically it might seem a bit generic,
Umu: Mhm.
Kevin: But-
(trying to find the words)
it - it's just something about the way they put the -
the melody in, and the rap sections,
Umu: Yes.
Kevin: in, with the chords.
Um, it doesn't - it doesn't turn out to be a generic experience.
Umu: Exactly.
Umu: That's - that's basically what I was going to say, because,
this chorus, I knew what the rhythm was going to be like,
I knew where the melody was gonna go,
I could sing along - maybe, even, just the first time I heard it -
but, because of how the sections changed - so - much,
and, how they're like, LITTLE plot twists: like the first time, the chorus going into just-
(floating)
Umu: No, uh, percussion beat whatsoever (in that chorus),
and having SO much of the song being a rap section!
Or sing-song rap!
I - I just - overall, I really love the soundscape,
and how they organized it to be... comforting?
Like the predictable comforting? But-
Kevin: Mhm.
Umu: also keeps your attention because they keep changing things.
Kevin: (affirming) Yeah.
Umu: It's really nice.
Kevin: It's great.
Umu: (fake sobbing noises)
(Kevin and Umu start laughing)
Umu: (still laughing) Got a little emo, okay!
Thanks for watching, guys! Bye!
Kevin: Bye.
