Thank you so much i am in the final year of my degree doing my dissertation, i struggled to wrap my head around some of these topics as i found the text too academic, but this has made every part understandable and allowed me to utalize it, thank you!! :^)
Glad it was helpful! a more recent, longer and higher production values is available here. In the description there’s a link to an essay with bibliography which you may find useful. ua-cam.com/video/z3vjjHy7gV4/v-deo.htmlsi=nw04crSpW03K5ff0
good video. George brought me here & yes, i agree, i do quite enjoy Small Comfort & love the little gag at the end. does the "eXtra" have to be something that's beyond the lyrics & not the subject/content of the music? in my head i was thinking of Strange Fruit, which is an analogy of the song's subject -- the hanging of bodies from a tree. is that even meta enough?
Good question. For me that absolutely be in the X. The meta prefix includes ‘extra information’ as in meta-data what contributes to emotional Impact. Lyrics, song titles, context, liner notes.
@@miltonline so even something as simple straightforward lyrics can be considered meta & it doesn't even need to contain an analogy such as the idea of a "strange fruit"? interesting. i personally like an additional layer of content in a song. think "Every Breath You Take", where many people think it sounds like a love song, but is not even remotely close to a love song. or to a more obvious one, Maxwell's Silver Hammer -- where it's a nice bouncy fun song, but the content isn't really nice & bouncy. i like the contrasts between the music & the lyrics.
So ‘extra musical content’ includes anything in additional to the sonic. And even the term meta can have simple/humble implications. Eg the meta data of a digital photo includes the time and location. I use the extra musical content to include everything from the simple overt title and lyrics, the context of the piece, all the way to ‘deeper’ meta aspects which contribute to emotional impact.
This channel, more than any other I'm subscribed to, seems to address the listeners as composers.
Thanks so much.
What an excellent topics analysis and insights. Each video you make is so original and unique. Bravo Milton and thank you!
Many thanks!
