As always, thank you so much for watching, and thank you to all of you that leave comments.
Version 3 sounds so James Bond-y, really cool stuff
They way you combine classical and contemporary is amazing as always!
Thank you!!
This is amazing! Please make this a series!
Deal!
My kids are into K-Pop so I sent them this. Thanks for giving me something I can share with them.
Version 3 is my favorite and it kind of resembles Adele's Skyfall due to same chord progressions in the beginning which is cool.
yeah i heard that as well i was like this sounds like a song i heard in a Bond Film
Version 1 is elevated through the reharmonization, which adds a lot. Version 4 is elevated by it's rythmic variations, elevating it in a completely different way. Very cool video, although I've never heard the original!
Very interesting! Thank you for breaking this down to make it understandable! ❤
Thank you back!!
And here in order we have:
1. classical
2. romantic
3. "impressionist" (I just think of Debussy)
4. modern (Nahre's personal style)
it's amazing how you can completely change the atmosphere with rhythm and some chord choices!! I think I wanna try something like this as a tribute to songs I like, because I don't know how else I can appreciate/make something with them xD
Love your innovative videos as always :)
I don't usually comment on your videos but oh wow as an ARMY / musician this was right up my alley and just so incredible.
I particularly enjoyed version 3 and 4. Version three because of the borrowed 4th that was just really pleasing to the ear, plus the increasing tension by going up by half semitone and then going back oh my gosh, I really love this kind of progressions.
And version 4 because I really like your style and I very much enjoyed the overall arrangement, the details and how it accentuated but not overpowered JK's voice.
Seriously please make this a series. I'd personally recommend doing Laufey's "From the start" I think it would be really interesting to see what you come up with, specially with all the different styles. So yeah, keep up the good work !!!
As a classically trained composer and Pianist who also enjoys K-POP, i see this as a BIG W!
As for the song suggestion, I'd love to see what you can do with "Idol" by YOASOBI! :)
This brought to my mind the concerts (and live albums) Metallica did with the San Francisco philharmonic, known as S&M. I think it would be a real shame if he never ended up having something like this composed for a full orchestra to perform with live sometime. It's very nice. I really enjoyed this one.
Edit: By "he" I mean Jung Kook.
Brilliant! I liked the bass chromatic version the best (but they were all great!) with the borrowed IV. Kind of had James Bond vibes which I think works well with this song. Your version reminded me of Polyphia’s complex textures. Very cool.
By the way, I teach middle school band and orchestra and I’m going to use your video as a reflection activity in class. It’s really great. One of our guiding values is “learn to think like a musician” and your work embodies that so well. Thank you!
PS- maybe I can send you some student reflections when we’re done.
Thank you!!
@@NahreSolhad to expand haha.
I am so impressed! I like classical music, I abuse the piano when I play it.
Your knowledge of music is fantastic and leaves me in awe.
That was INCREDIBLE!!! Version 1 was my favorite 😻😻 I could totally see jungkook singing to it live~~
HOW ARE YOU SO SKILLED!!! beautiful as always, your creativity and insight are so inspiring! Makes me wanna go practice right now
Shiina Ringo is the most versatile female composer on the planet that can reasonably be called a charting 'pop star'. I hope you'll do a video on her one day. 🙏🙂
This video reminded me of Shiina Ringo
I'm looking forward to the surprise Nahre Sol accompaniment in the Jungkook Tiny Desk
I just love the Chords, that IV Chord from D major, really lifts it up mystically. Would love yo see somewhat of a full version of it in any of the styles, or even mixing them up
Nahre, you're definitely a genius! Thank you for this amazing episode! I love all of the versions, but the Version 1 is the number one from my part of view. What an easy way to play... or so it seems. Incredible!
Your borrowed 4th (G) gave the song a bit of a James Bond feel. You can finish with a DmMaj9 for that air of mystery which might also shoot you. Love your vids!
The minimalist version highlights the voice too, that's nice.
It would be cool to hear you break down how SM made classical versions of Kpop songs like Red Velvet's Feel My Rhythm or Town's Make A Wish
Version 3. Melted me. So amazing!! Also my fave song on repeat at the moment so LOVED this!!! Any other song, this is so cool!
Love it ❤ Last version obviously! Try arrange songs like "Thousand miles" from Vanessa Carlton, or "Somewhere only you know" from Keane 🤔😎🎹
Version 3 is my favourite although I’m biased towards arpeggios, all of the sounded really nice tho
love this Jungkook song- thx for choosing it to work your special magic- Version 4 is my favorite! Also love the cool orange lighting happening in the corner behind you 👍
This was really cool, I love this kind of stuff. And I love your style of videos where you have fun but also make it a learning experience by breaking things down, This defiantly needs to be a series!
I love how you're open to exploring so many genres of music, and then making them your own with such cool compositions ❤
That G maj in version 3 really grabs you. I love it
You're a genius. I think I liked the first version best. Just the aesthetic of it really. I'm sorry I don't listen to pop music so i have no suggestions for anything else but this is really great. BTW how did you isloate the vocals?
The last version, with your more modern approach is my favorite...a nd is the most appropriate for the style of vocals imho
I like Version 3, it glued the rhythm of the voice with rhythm of the piano. It felt like a more balanced song and no extra instruments were needed.
very interesting takes. Love to hear more.
Always love the way you approach and break down the different techniques! Lots to take away in my personal practice and exploration💜
Would love to hear a fully mixed and long version of version 4
Brilliant, thank you! Version 4 is my favourite, thought they're all great. You probably know that K-Pop groups have sometimes employed musicians with the Seoul Symphony in their compositions, and it shows in the sophistication of some (especially girl-group) K-Pop harmonies and instrumentation. Would love to see what you could do with Japanese-Korean (Japanese born, Korean trained) girl group XG's amazing song from last year Left Right, which already has a lot going on in it.
Wow, congrats, this is really amazing!!! Thank you so much, my favorite is the first version, so dramatic! Could you try to do another one of Jungkook's songs from Golden album? 3D or any other? Honestly, all of them are masterpieces in their genres. Tysm!!!
I loved version 1 because of the reharmonisation - is it just me, but is playing around with harmony around a constant melody the most exciting thing in music? Love the rhythms in version 4 too, but would love some Brasil 66 chords there!
That D minor / B-flat / G Major "borrowed IV" progression ( 4:41 )seems to come up a lot in movie music -- spy and superhero and space fantasy stories, etc.
I think Charles Cornell has focused on it more than once.
I think you are brilliant. I learn so much from you, especially how to improvise. I found that the best approach to improvisation (for me at least) is through a composer's perspective-taking an idea (alberti bass/arpeggios etc) and making it your own, as you so masterfully show in your vids. You have a fan!!😊
Love the version 3, Gm - G Bond progression!
The first one is so beautiful! Wonder what would happen if you tried accompanying with a Bach-style counterpoint so that his singing sounds like a cantus firmus? 😂
Don’t pretend to be their accompanist, tell them you’re available for a very large fee if they’d like to perform some adult music.🎹🎹
😂
"adult music" 😂
wtf this means even ?
i don't understand the context of you laughing here when the song is quite brilliant on it's own @@NahreSol
If "adult" meant more "mature" and "interesting" music, I'm all for it
I'm glad someone else remembered it was Mozart's birthday! Odd too how he looks like Jeff Beck in that painting
I liked the G Major - I'm so used to that cheesy 1950's trick of dropping a minor 4th into a major chord sequence :o)
Version #3 is very fetching, as
Dmin/D & Bb/B are followed by
G/G with the vocal adding the E to form a major 6th. But the funky syncopation and shifting dynamics of #4 is a real toe tapper. I'd love to hear a melding of the two.
in every video one learns something new about music as a way a human being can express everything in their conscience. I love how your piano sounds, may i ask you to make a video for digital piano comparisons? i think a professional review from you to different ones out there would be really helpful.
So amazing and inspiring! Would love to see you perform live one day. Love this series, can’t wait to see more!
Hey, I love your videos.
I am also a musician, and I have no eyesight.
Piano was my first instrument that I started playing at the age of four, and I also play saxophone, which I’ve been playing since the age of 11. I also produced music using logic pro, and there are some songs on my channel that I have produced with logic pro.
The first approach was my favorite. Great job Master!
Version 4 is so gooooood! Also Version 3 made me immediately think of James Bond. It's got that very chromatic/dramatic vibe to it that you'd expect from a James Bond opening song.
Fourth ! For sure... Authentic revolution, coming from most different influences good choices ..Very creative .and very beautiful
Loved this! Very informative and enriching. Please do more, maybe some jazz derivatives of Chopin?
Love version 3. You are so creative and I am loving your talent. Thanks Hollywood Songwriter D
You are such a creative inspiration and wild inspiration. Always fresh, creative content!
YES! So well explained!
Love the addition of the borrowed IV chord - sounds so fab.
Love your version! So crunchy, rhythm and fun!
You are very talented, each style works well - what a fun idea for a video. Subscribed 👍
Please make a full version of the nostalgic edition!! Sounded so awesome!!
I love this cover! ❤🔥🎶🎹
You are so good! I liked all the versions.
Version 3 is very "Skyfall"-esque! I like it. #4 is my favorite!❤❤
I liked #3 best. Thanks!!!
i like version 2 . All versions are stylish, great!
Hello,
very nice video like always.
I appreciate a lot version 1 and 3. The beginning of the third could be a James Bond soundtrack before switching to Glass:). But all four are interesting
Have a nice day
Your version 4 is absolutely incredible
Musique pop parfaite pour danser dessus, mais aussi idéale par exemple pour un grand film de "James Bond".
J'aime tout dans cette dynamique et ces harmonies. C'est un bel exercice d'improvisation (un peu facile mais très chouette à réaliser). Et votre version n°4 est ma préférée :)
@Nahre Sol - I have a leaning towards version 2. I also liked your own version which incorporated your personal touch. So creative and such a genius. You should take up on Michael Bishop’s suggestion - seriously.
Late to the party but joining all the comments that say it evokes James Bond...I feel like I read something about the James Bond chord progression being a sort of singularly recognizable, "special" shift of harmony, but I can't seem to find it anymore. There was something in that too about "modal interchange" where you borrow the Dorian chord of the same root, the way here Nahre borrowed the D major chord into the D minor "frame." Also, when I looked into Billie Eilish's "No Time To Die" it does go from Em9 (and there's a LOT of info out there about using the minor-9 in James Bond music), to C major, which is the like an equivalent shift of going from Dm -> Bflat, just a whole tone down...so that gets us most of the way there...but I think it's most obvious in the harmony of Adele's "Skyfall" ...I'm not knowledgeable enough to draw the parallel for myself in the time I have, but I'm with curiosity at this point...
Like if you think Nahre and Jung Kook should collaborate for the feature piece for the next Bond film...
I love version #3....
Good job with all the versions!
Also, awesome explanation on the chords/notes/theories!!!
🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I learn so much from your videos.
#3 could be a James Bond theme. As one who doesn't care for Kpop (or JPop) your renditions make it more palatable for me.
The circular arpeggios and lower register portion of version 3 (between 4:05 and 4:25) gave me a classical + Bond vibe. Now I want to see a Jung Kook Bond tune for real using that beautiful chord progression that "borrows" a G major.
Wow, I make similar music, sometimes remixing k pop, pop, or rap and rnb to make my version of hip hop music. Anyway i would like to suggest to download or use a better vocal extractor. Serato has one as well as FL, i think logic has one now too but i never used it yet. Also with Waves Clarity you can dial in the amount of vocals left to pass through. But to suggest all the remixes you made were good and high quality i would just hope for the whole song to be remixed and not patches or parts only. My next suggestion is maybe a hip hop song but in your classical pianist style.
So beautiful version #1 i feel tears welling up. Music touches and moves me in powerful & unexpected ways.
Amazing Nahre. Do you think it'd be possible for you to record the full song with each one of your piano versions to youtube ofc?
Also would be cool to see you review/comment on Scott Storch (Hip Hop producer) and Chilly Gonzales' piano skills/songs/compositions.
Aw Nahre you are just so talented. Maybe if you have time and interest, can you please cover a song called "Hana" by Fujii Kaze? I love that song so much and i believe you will too
Espectacular ❤
all of them, i'd like to play the drums on your versions
Enjoyed all the versions!!! Can you do Spring Day and/or Black Swan next. Thank you❤❤
I love love love version 1!!! It adds so much emotion and honestly sounds better to me than the original. A lot more intimate at the very least.
Awesome Nahre, another very interesting vid 👍🏼 and the winner is (for me) version 3 ❤
Please do something from Michael Jackson. Thankyou.
Enjoyed all versions though love #4 just a little more. You're a wonderful musician!!❤
This format is great. You did great this video with everything. please produce more in this format videos. You music hero
Thank you Nahre, always learn so much from your videos so original. You should dissect Tyler Swift song in this manner
I LOVE YOU !
Ελπίζω να μιλάτε για τον jungkook🫰 (jk)
All versions work. I've been jammin' with Dr John on Mama Roux, some songs are like little seeds that are buried in the ground & one day they sprout up and grow on you. Lazy & smooth.
I loved this! My suggestion for another similar video would be "Cover Me" by Stray Kids :)
Tempted-Squeeze!
And thank you for the theory lessons!
Honestly, I just enjoy watching you...
Really enjoyed what you did. Very interesting.1. 4 ty Kime
Oh daeeemn, i luke that last version you played, makes me feels like transcribing it😂
I've listened to version 1 repeatedly! Version 3 also gives me the feels. Bravo!
U the Best Ms. Sol 🙏💥⚡️
This was very well done and should be continued. I like some Kpop and think it has musical value. Your treatments probably take it out of the POP area, but increase the probability of a Real Aesthetic Experience, such as one might have with a classical composition, perhaps by Ravel or Rachmaninoff. Keep going on this.
Fantastic as always!💥 Maybe the first and the last one❤ Billie Jean😹
My favorite is version 2. You could give Gentle Giant's "On Reflection" a try.
Superb Ma'am
I like Your 2nd Version
God Bless You Lot 😊
All of your videos should have 5 billion views, I never get sick of this!
my favorite is the nahre version, version 4.
Good new format to your lessons.
Wild Horses by Nick Kershaw (to prevent life feeling sunk in Levi’s tatters)
or If I Were An Englishman by Michael Marra (to help us feel sunk in Levi’s tatters)
LOVE it, LOVE it, LOVE it, LOOOOVE IT!!!! #4 was my favorite. I didn't know classical could sound so funky. : ). Maybe try "Attention" by Charlie Puth?...
I love the four of them ! The first version, at the beginning is very Michel Legrand like.👍
I like ver2 and ver4...nice!
I love this song. Its the song that brought me into BTS in the first place. You are so talented i cant. 4th version sounds simply fantastic.
