    I think the reason this feels so different from other Bass Gang covers is that Marwan is singing the whole lead, instead of the guys juggling the lead between them. And I think, even though it's different, it was absolutely the right call. To hear Marwan sing: "But hey, it's home!" really hits different when it actually *is* his home, instead of having an actor (like Will Smith) sing that line. And it also makes sense to have Tomi, Bobby, and Peter play the roles of travelers, visiting the bazaars.

  • @bjspeck4337
    @bjspeck4337 9 місяців тому +41

    What a treat you in for if you are already this excited. This is grand. Marwan killed this because since he couldn't fly out to the Czech Republic, he had to get a location, as well as camera crew and the lady dancer, and work out stuff with Peter, Tomi and Bobby who were elsewhere. These guys did such a great video/song.

    Just as heads up: Within their released Volume (3) The Bass Gang also did Friend Like Me which is equally good. Lead done by Bobby Bass. Besides Aladdin in the Volume Be Prepared done by Tomi and Gaston where the titular character is done by Peter showing off operatic skills.
    These three don´t have video so far though, so go somewhat unnoticed. All can be find in Releases section on their channel.

    What a great reaction! I feel for you with the sciatic pain-I was just putting my dinner plate down when it hit for the first time-it really is crippling. It can mess you up for a LONG TIME. Anyway, it was a lot of fun to watch you react.
    All I know is this was Marwan at his absolute best-I do agree it’s really different from other BG music, but it’s amazing, so IDC. What actually has me biting my nails going from here is, because Marwan wasn’t able to be in the Czech Republic with the guys, I’m not sure how they’re going to pull off the rest of the songs with him as one of the backup singers, but not in the same frames as the other two guys, if that makes sense. I’m sure they’ll find a way to make it work but it’s hard to imagine. Can’t wait, though, because the audio recordings for the songs sound fabulous.

  • @jonadabtheunsightly
    @jonadabtheunsightly 9 місяців тому +1

    This differs from a lot of the Bass Gang's material in several notable ways:
    1. Most obviously, it has instruments. Have they ever done that before, as a group?
    2. There's a lot less multi-tracking than usual. Marwan's run-down at the end of the word "amaze" overlaps the start of his next line (which is a quite cool effect BTW), but other than that I _think_ each of them was generally only singing one part at a time here, and that's unusual for them.
    3. I think this is only the third song that they've done with basically coherent lyrics. Their first two albums focused mostly on the Panic at the Disco / Billie Eilish / Imagine Dragons style of clause-salad song, wherein individual lines in the lyrics sound meaningful but you're missing context, and when you put them _in_ context it doesn't actually help. They deviated from that for Hide and Seek and for Hooked on a Feeling, and this song likewise. Maybe I'm missing another one?
    4. The same singer has the lead for basically the entire song here, and I can't think of any other song where they've done that.
