    For as popular and successful Snarky Puppy is I still think they are underrated and underappreciated. Every thing they do is a matter class in performance, composition, arranging, musicianship, etc. It's clear that all of the collaborations bring out the best of the guest performers. I find something new in each performance with every listen.

      Actually, this is a composition of the singer, Laura Mvula. Snarky Puppy arranged it in a way only Snarky Puppy is able to. The original version of this song is from her debut album, also called Sing to the Moon (2012).

    You pronounced her name correctly the first time: ''Mmm-voola''. She's a British vocalist, married a Zambian guy, and depending on which country in Africa you're in i.e South Africa, their surname would mean ''Rain'' in Xhosa. It's an amazing song.

    This is my first time listening to this, and WOW, it's beautiful. The vocals and the solos by each keyboardist were such a treat.
    Bill Laurance does play some unexpected keys, from time to time! He's sometimes on duty on the synths, like here, in the clavinet, or in this weird little keyboard instrument that I still don't know what it is on Coney Bear. Edit: It's the Osmose Expressive E.

      Yes, it did and it did to me as well - and I think that That is what some special music/musical experience can do to us. And eventhough it might get to us in unexpected ways and timing, I still think they are a blessing🙏🏼💜😌🤗.
      Several times I have had these experiences at eg. a Live concert with Eivør (just in another “language” so to speak), and I was so happy, I didn’t have to get a beer at the bar afterwards and chit chat with a lot of people right after, because I was just so filled with and overwhelmed by all the beautiful and powerful experiences that I just wished to keep it precious for a little longer in me - kinda cherish it🙏🏼💜❤️💚💛.

    That's some dominant chord at 2:13. Very spicy and suuuuuuuper tense. Haven't analyzed it yet, but I'm definitely getting the 13 in there. Not sure if it's the natural or flat 13 though. And I think... a b9, which is my favourite upper extension for dominant chords.
    But there's something about Mvula's voice. It's so raw, tender and sad. You said it in the end - sorrowful.

    If you want to listen to some great Snarky-inluenced music you really should check Dynamo. It comes from the same area as Snarky and the band leader Ryan Connors can even be seen in the audience on some Snarky videos. Their song Carried Away from their latest album Celina (2017) is maybe the best starting point. There's a live studio perfomance of Carried Away in the style of Snarky in UA-cam. I'd describe their music Snarky Puppy with vocals. Try it, I'm sure you will love it!

    You remark that this music is very visual. Snarky is magnificent. Awesome musicianship and this one was deeply moving.
    But since you love well done and sometimes complicated music. Perhaps music from the 70s or 80s in not your bag. But Genesis makes very well constructed and very visual music. They paint wonderful soundscapes, especially in their 'prog' years. Please research some of their music to present and analysis. It is often jazzy, but very symphonic and often majestic. Great stuff.

    Really man... If a vocal performance is what you're looking for... Please do a reaction to Adele singing "To Be Loved" on her couch to a backing comp track. It is raw, amazing, and unreal that she can sit down like she's doing and just sing out like she does. It is something that is unheard of with clarity and power. And the lyrics are so powerful that she'll refuse to sing it in public. I've seen a number of reactions to it and was wanting your twist on it. Since you don't pause the video and you actually show emotional linkeage to what you're listening to.
