    I've listened to Coldplay since Parachutes. That's a long time and I never saw them in concert until 2016. Man... I was missing out on more from them. The show made that vacation to best in my short 31 years of life. Coldplay has a special place in my heart.

    4:50 Question is so subjective, and in the same way, so real. Im a psychologist and I believe that music and personality have so much in common. People dont realize it at first glance.
    Each and everyone of us, have our own soundtrack, and is a reflection of the emotions that we feel connected to.

      I mainly agree with this list (+ the Beach Boys and The Doors) but the music of the Beatles is waaaaaaay too complex to explain in a video. Musicologists spent decades trying to explain what was going on in just 2 bars of an early Beatles song called 'Not a Second Time'!

    • @clockdockfree
      @clockdockfree 7 років тому +1

      The beatles were strumming guitars and putting together chords they had no Idea why they worked. Ask a jazz musician, what they were doing can be explained with modal interchange. Their music is packed with non musical attitude and psuedo-intellectual production concepts. They basically made a weird form of jazz pop without realizing it. However, they revolutionized the sound of rock and pop. Brian Wilson of the beach boys on the other hand was a whole other world of songwriting. I cant even compare him to the beatles, because the beatles made folky rock and brian wilson was really just a composer. He was in another realm in terms of songwriting. Not a better realm just way more music based one. He was a really simplified and modern Bach. His organization of frequencies and harmony is still unobtainable. Listen to Pet Sounds, listen extra extra close. Close your eyes and don't distract yourself, compare the intervals and bass relative to the vocals. It's otherworldy.

    Hi there! Thanks so much for videos like this. It's the first time I see a video like this in youtube, talking about music, from a musician, for musicians (the real ones.. who studied music academically at least).
    It's really surprising how you understand the context of each musician you talk about, and how you show how this (sadly) music business works nowadays; and I can realize that most of it, it's set to get the major sales, tranforming the sound to the one which most people would like, loosing the style in the whirlwind.

    Songwriting analysis reminds me of record label meetings where they ask you “What makes your music original, unique and still marketable?” Then deliver some really great analysis lines from this video with real sincerity. The truth is when we trained in theory songwriters sit down to write a song we try different things until we are actually moved emotionally by the music and words that accompany them. If it gives us goosebumps it will resonate with the audience.

    When you talk about using the third in their melodies, are you talking about the 3rd of the chord being played at that time or the 3rd scale degree of the song's key?

    • @bitchimgayasfuck171
      @bitchimgayasfuck171 7 років тому +1

      I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure he's talking about the 3rd scale degree of the *key*, because the examples he gave for coldplay's use of the third were:
      1. HYPNOTIZED - key of F# major - the note indicated as the third *(A#)* is also the third scale degree of this key
      2. VIVA LA VIDA - key of Ab major - the note indicated as the third *(C)* is also the third scale degree of this key
      3. LOVERS IN JAPAN - key of Ab major - the note indicated as the third *(C)* is also the third scale degree of this key
      4. YELLOW - key of C major - the note indicated as the third *(E)* is also the third scale degree of this key
      5. UP & UP - key of F# major (or D# minor) - the note indicated as the third *(B)* is *not* the third scale degree of *either* of the keys, so I actually have no idea about this one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
      6. CHARLIE BROWN - key of Bb major - the note indicated as the third *(D)* is also the third scale degree of this key
      7. SPEED OF SOUND - key of A major - the note indicated as the third *(C#)* is also the third scale degree of this key
      8. IN MY PLACE - key of A major - the note indicated as the third *(C#)* is also the third scale degree of this key
      (I hope that made sense cuz I think I worded it kinda awkwardly lmao)

    • @bbu33
      @bbu33 7 років тому

      Would the major 3rd interval of the key really convey the emotions he is refering to when played during any other chord than the tonic? Or does it only work because the chords are changing rapidly?

      It's surprising he hasn't done Frank yet. He already did Mayer and now Coldplay. Frank's a songwriting genius. He made Strawberry Swings sound like his own song.

      Honestly I'd be fine if he did another series on rappers starting with Tyler, the creator and Earl sweatshirt, To name other members of OF that he should do

    Do Green Day. That'd be pretty interesting I personally think, as the chords are so simple but the songs sound so different each time.

    Can you do The Beatles at some point? This may be impossible as they fluctuate so much album to album, song to song, but can you do such based on each songwriter over certain periods of time?

    This is amazing, i've watched the series a couple times and probably will a lot more to really integrate what you teach, i would really love to see an episode on bjork or radiohead, as i feel their music is closer to the edge, i dont know of what, but they are closer for sure.

  • @newrider4201
    @newrider4201 6 років тому

    Didn't understand too much but I can realize that all the songs are played in the same scale, only the notes are changing. And always after the bridge of the song he intensifies the notes and the chorus making a supermasive explosion of feelings and sounds! :D

    Hello,
    Immensely enjoying these series and would like to thank you for your down-to-earth approach - it is really quite refreshing to get both opinion and knowledge from a UA-camr, without either of those devolving into criticism (in the purest form of the word) and boredom, respectively.
    I would like to propose Lana del Rey for a next video because of her radically different approach (for pop music) to both melodies and lyrics - in a time where existential crisis and suicidal urges are uncomfortably remembered by all as the '90's grunge thing and where all is upbeat and energetic (or, whenever there is some sadness involved, it is more often of a dream-like and distant type, without actual misery or desperation involved) Lana defies all that with downtempo beats, dragging dirges of dark, hopeless tones and lyrics that present nostalgia and melancholy over the past not as something to be remembered upon with a knowing smile, but something that has ultimately become ruinous to the present and to the one remembering it.
    It would be great to explore the phenomenon of something like that becoming so popular as it is.
