I know people have been saying that Blinding Lights by The Weekend sounds like Take on me. But the beat reminds me of Take on me just right off the bat. Edit: I meant Take on me. Sorry y'all I'm really stupid when it comes to formimg sentences.
The original song's video was so ahead of it's time and this guy's set-up to 06:02 took me back in time 1985. Boy, this is crazy, nuts, hats off! Time travel is indeed possible !!
If I remember correctly the video won an MTV award for best special effects or conceptualization something or other. It was a striking mashup of video and animation I remember.
I started to use GarageBand on Mac few weeks ago and I realised to understand nothing about making music (reproduce notes and tempo is not so easy to me). This guy is amazing, what he does isn’t simple as appears. I hope one day to be able to enjoy myself doing things like that.
I want whatever you're smoking if ANYTHING this guy did appeared simple. There were hundreds of different 'keystrokes' required to produce this on the iPhone and he did it flawlessly. It would take ages for a normal person to ever even figure out how to arrange that much less reproduce it.

Inspiration was doing it like the bands did in the 70's -80's. With real instruments and musicians with a memory to remember each note his instrument was needed to produce at a specific time. Our generations created the music you kids are copying using computers and cell phones🙄. As you can see he did this song in only a few minutes when in our generation each band member had to actually use their instrument, talent and their brains memory to not miss a note. Here a computer does all that work for you. That's why the people who call themselves "musicians" today really aren't nothing compared to the artist who did it back in the 70's -80's.

I sometimes wonder when someone creates a song like this if they really have any idea what they've done. This song is timeless and has been covered so many times in so many ways.
I spoke to John Ratcliff who remixed first version of this song. He told me Take on Me was released 3 times before it caught on and became a hit. It was the MTV video that gave it that boost of exposure. They knew it was a great song; they just had to convince the rest of the world how great it was.

the intro and verses of Take on Me are in B dorian (like natural minor (aeolian) but with a raised 6th). so the 3rd scale degree (D in B dorian) should have been minor (so D natural), giving you a Bm chord instead of B major. you use the correct scale degree in your melody line and in your D major chord. if you had stuck with the D# the entire time but kept your A natural, you would have been in B mixolydian which woulda been kinda cool but would have changed a lot of other stuff about the song. the modal mixture/interchange you have going on right now gives the song a very unstable feel (because dorian is primarily a minor mode and mixolydian is primarily major). for those curious, the chorus simply switches into A natural major (ionian) which is what gives the song its unique power and lift before falling back into the wistful melancholy of dorian.

Edit: I meant Take on me. Sorry y'all I'm really stupid when it comes to formimg sentences.
Yup
Why do you think Seth Everman did what he did then? Lol
Take on me is older, so it cannot sound like Blinding lights ;-)
also blinding lights has always reminded me of a slowed down Kavinsky song
Alot of people say blinding lights is sampled from / made around / inspired by take on me even google says it
The 80's will never be forgotten.

I think that B chord must have been minor instead of major. But absolutely love the channel 😊☺️😊 great work!!!
yup, that's it, that would probably scratch my itch
The song is in A Major, but the starting chord should be a B minor 9 and then to the regular B minor chord, E Major chord, A Major, and D Major
Probably hes avoiding copyright issues

Incredible and amazing!!!
Pretty amazing to watch that put together! My only criticism is that the B major chord should have been a B minor chord. But great job! :-)
It's like a miracle for one who just listen and knows nothing about music making
Sounds like an extended mix replay intro. Excellent in every way!
Wow, Incredible!! I learned GarageBand is not just a toy. Thank you very much!!
Este compa definitivamente es el Dios de GarageBand 🤩
Nice man!
Isn’t the intro just [Bm] and the theme [Bm-E-A-F#m]? Thanks for sharing anyway!!!
Intro is Bm E A D, I think. He goes B E A D. Should definitely start on Bm, at least.
@@nicuramar Yeh, came here to mention the major chord. Its close, and kinda works, but its not right.
Yeah, i could tell something was *slightly* off, it sounded slightly higher pitched than it's supposed to be at that certain point, glad I'm not crazy
A great 80s song this is, now it’s time to remake it on GarageBand!! 💪😉
I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure that first chord is supposed to be a b minor not major
So Morten Harket already had an iPhone in 1985? Amazing... 😁
