Keep it interesting!! Is what i took from this lesson.

that one part at the end of bye bye said: "Like a dream that you cannot let up let up, and you scream because you can not get up get up"

this video was very entertaining and educating as someone who does not know music theory, new subscriber!

this song has one of my favorite key changes ever. it's crazy how they shift it into a new key and then shift it back for the 2nd chorus

Oh my god thank you so much for this! I love the way you breaking it down! It's so detailed but you don't make it complicated to hear. Sabrina is such great and witty songwriter so I had a feeling you were going to like this one. Great content, you just earned a new subscriber!!

U should react to we can’t be friends wait for your love by Ariana grande that song is so beautiful written and emotional u will really enjoy it if u react to it 😊

Loved this reaction and dive into the theory of writing this song! Please react to Symptom Of Life by Willow ❤

Loving the pop breakdowns!! I’d love to see you do some Taylor Swift songs from Folklore and Evermore. Champagne Problems or Betty would be a good place to start, as a songwriter I think the storytelling in them is fascinating.

Lyrics- she’s tryna F. Haha

Soo you won’t break down not like us cause you ain’t like em even if you like em? If you listen to kendrick at 1.5 speed he sounds like Tech 9 or Busta Rhymes . I enjoy… speed rap? Not mumble but clearly pronounced articulate lyrics so fast its hard for some to catch everything. But now im off topic. Dijon mcfarlane , mark spears and Sean Momberger worked with Lamar on the track but im not sure who did what or at what stage of production? Should A diss track be a song of the year, even if its a top tier tune? I’ll leave the morality to humanity ( for whatever thats worth ) . Todays tune doesn’t move me so ill hold any commentary on please please please. Have a wonderful 2025 may it be peaceful and prosperous

Ahhh thank you so much. You have great ear and this is so helpful 🙏

I saw them do this live at SNL it was awesome

Aw man I always thought the line was “your wife BROUGHT us flowers”. Waters kinda ruins it for me it doesn’t work for me now. I mean I still get what she’s saying but her ex’s wife coming over to bring flowers was a better story in my head

“‘Sposed to be” is pretty typical of how we talk in certain parts of the US. otherwise I agree, her choice to always put accents in the wrong place bugs me

I love your passion, knowledge and honesty! 💛

Her stage name is a pun on "Chaperone", meaning "Anstandsdame" in German, which is funny given the fact that she is pretty much the opposite of that on stage. It's also meant as an hommage to her grandfather whose last name was Chappell, and his favourite song had the word Roan in it. You're not fully pronouncing her right, "Chappell" is pronounced /tʃæpəl/ with an emphasis on the first syllable.

Listen to the f**king song and then, in a secont listening, break it down. Stopping the song every 2 seconds in the first listenning is dumb and annoying. I couldnt watch the hole video

You had my attention when my eyes caught the Jamie Cullum album in the back lmao, I've loved his stuff for 20 years now. Love your analysis, looking forward to perusing your prior videos as I try to learn how to write music! By the way, Chappell did a cover of 'Last Christmas' with Sabrina Carpenter for a Christmas special, I wonder if that was inspired by the similarities with 'Good Luck, Babe'.

0:16 btw Kayleigh Rose Amstutz is Chappell Roan, (Chappell is her stage name) so she wrote some of this amazing song herself!

Wonderful analysis!

Fortnight isn't even Taylor Swift song of the year, but I don't think any of the potential contenders from TTPD would have been any more deserving of song of the year at the Grammy's. Twice as many songs but half as interesting. The 'penmanship', usually the most cornerstone of her art, is not very good. Melodically and harmonically, its very boring. The album is just variations on some rather dully familiar themes - and yet so many of them! I think quite a lot of Swifties would be peeved if she won. Did the Grammys voters nominate her out of habit? Had they actually listened to this song? Perhaps they decided to reward raw volume of output. She's been pumping stuff out since Midnights: the new albums, the multiple deluxe editions, the Taylor's versions, the previously unreleased songs from the vaults, not to mention the biggest stadium tour the world has ever winessed and a movie that broke box-office records. That's a conspicuous work rate. But to what end - proving she needs an editor?

I have to agree. Die with a smile is objectively a great song. I'm not sure why fortnight is nominated honestly. I'm a massive Taylor fan, but Fortnight is so far from the best song on TTPD. I think it makes sense as an opener as it is meant to set up the theme of her album - leaving a long term unhappy relationship to try again with an old flame. The first lines also connect it to one of the last songs she released (his different) with this line about being sent away. I think the uncertainty and sort of stuck feeling of the chords monotony is a bit intentional given the feeling she's trying to evoke. It's an okay song with an ok feature, but no one can understand why Taylor has a habit of picking the worst singles to release from her albums. This double album was written on tour and i believe was released with very little editing or concern about critical reception because it was more of a therapeutic exercise. The album contains some half cooked songs in my opinion that could benefit from a change in production or a bit of editing, but even her worst is pretty great. Anthology is a bit better from a songwriting and structure standpoint while the first half of TTPD is all about the story.

You're a songwriting teacher that has no knowledge of Nigro or Chappell? What?

I honestly thought I was going to lose interest in a technical breakdown, but your enthusiasm and pacing pulled me in! And it's very rare to watch a technical analysis also pick up on the message, that won my heart ❤️

this was fantastic, thank you for your commentary :)) - hope you react to more chappell, she’s a fresh of breath air in this industry.

nice commentary!

I loved the songs in this movie so much bro

Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

Love your animation and energy!

Great analysis. Is there a vid of your full performance?

❤❤❤❤ Nunooo

I can't stand this straight ignorance.

this channel is so cool! exactly what i needed <3

I don't know much about music theory, but your enthusiasm made this a very enjoyable watch and easy to follow along with.

F# fan; oh yeah youre cool, subscribing for sure

Dave Chappelle Roan. 😄

I think this ranks among the best breakdowns you've delivered so far- perhaps helped by there seeming to be quite a lot of meat within the song to chew on! I especially loved hearing you talk about how Chappell (and her writers) amend the melody in the verse depending on the chord that's being played underneath. I do find it fascinating the pre-chorus having just the one chord, but her hammering in that F# is also intriguing- if I remember correctly didn't Coldplay's ridiculously titled feelslikeimfallininlove have a similar thing with it's chorus? That song I didn't rate overall, but the chorus specifically I found to be a tremendous earworm, and this idea of singing a second over a chord is something I would really like to experiment with in my own writing Quick other notes, I love that you are doubling down on 'A Bar Song' being rubbish- not only do I agree, but I also really hate what's going on with the pitch correction/ autotune in the vocals, nothing to do with the specific writing I know, but still not pleasant sound to me at all! I remember early when I discovered your channel, I mentioned finding you occasionally overly critical, and I'll take a moment to clarify- the first video I saw of yours was the Kings of Leon- Mustang one. Though thinking it over everything you say in that video is accurate, I find that particular song still manages to work despite it's strange aversion to proper songwriting techniques (I heard an interview where the band said they wanted the song to have a live, jammed feel to it, so perhaps that information helped me make sense of the song). I agree with your previous sentiment Die With A Smile is probably the best of these nominations, but I personally wouldn't mind seeing Birds of a Feather win too. I find the melodies in that one really grab me. Keep it up!

This is an amazing song that has become a queer anthem ever since it was introduced, and thank you for the lesson and analysis. If you wanna get the chills, try searching UA-cam for: "Good Luck, Babe! Gaia Music Collective (One-Day Choir)", mind-blowing performance!!!

Bye Bye was my favorite song in the movie❤❤
