❤ absolutely amazing. Thanks a lot

Nur damit ich das richtig verstehe. Du und sie singt das Lied mehrfach ein und du fügst die Tonspuren zusammen? Richtig?

What a wonderful job!!! The female's choir is awesome... beautyfull!!! 😍😍😍

I don't think you have a license to be able to sell this arrangement, but is it available for free? What other songs have you scored?

I dont understand how V resolvs to IV and i thought V to VI was a deceptive cadence. Can someone explain to me?

I think something’s off about his C#5. You could always hear it sticking out. At 5:27 It’s got its own rhythm going. That’s so cool.

Always wondered if Nik was inspired by Godley & Creme’s "An Englishman In New York" for this song? Has that similar mallet part, pulsing rhythm and interesting chord changes.

Nik Kershaw is a harmonic genius indeed. Listen to You Might also. It contains almost every power chord there is (except E flat :-)) in one song.

Ok i need to ask the weird bridge from the song Know How at 42 minutes i am obsessed with and unfortunatly i don’t read sheet music yet its a skill i want to learn but is it possible to write the name of the chords cos jeez that stuff is wild .. Amazing video im discovering nik kershaw and its pure gold thanks for the analysis

Just watched too much of your videos especially the long one on nik kershaw which i’m obsessed with lol and subscribed cos you do an incredible job at explaining all that !! Theres a strange thing though i find in the perception of music and how we feel it differently as humans with different backgrounds and maybe nature anyway my perception here is that even though the concept of shifted meter is really interesting but i wouldnt apply it there as the groove in the bridge feels more simply like a kind of rythmical call and response with the keyboard and vocals putting the accent on the 1 and 3 and the bass and drum on the 2 and 4 which has this ping pong exchange effect that makes you want to dance Meaning the bass and drum probably feels where the 1 is like all the other instruments through all the song but makes it bouncy with the emphasis on the 2 and 4 instead but thats my perception how i feel the song i guess everyone can feel it differently .. Also Never noticed the chord progression changed keys and used modal interchange it sounds much simpler than it is its all really consonant Anyway Great analysis 😊😊

Just amazing. Congratulations

Ich find, dass ist die beste Version die ich bis jetzt gefunden hab :0 Schöne stimmen, gutes Zusammenspiel, klar und kräftig gesungen und auch die Betonung ua. Durch die Lautstärke find ich schön :)

Hammer so wundrrschön gesungen ! Gänsehaut pur !

I love Ravel and his Impressionistic Style especially in his works about water.

If you put this much effort and to believe it in Jesus and reading the Bible you would totally believe in Jesus and have an amazing life be happy and have a peace that surpasses all understanding cuz I heard those little missionary thing that you said in I could get right away where you're coming from I'm military veteran from United States and it would be sad to waste your life on doing stuff like this that means nothing when you need Jesus to go to heaven I think after you die that's way more important it then trying to make a big deal about worldly things create about man God's creation is way more amazing he says in the Bible he named every planet he loves you so much he knows the hairs on your head he died on the cross for you he says pray for your enemies what other God in all the fake gods out there say that they don't because they're fake Jesus is the only way and I hope you realize that and I hope you realize if you become a Christian and believe in him he will change your life and so happy you can't even understand it you'll still have tough times you'll still sin and mess up but that doesn't matter because what you're saying you're always say that I don't care what any pastor tells you God says trust no man not one trust the Bible That's why the Bible has never been this proven not one mistake has ever been found I don't care what you've heard did research it has never been this proven because if it had been then Christians wouldn't believe in it still to this day and is still the number one selling book in the world for last decades so you can't argue with my comparison saying if Jesus wasn't real and the Bible was it true then it wouldn't still be selling at the number one position of all books old every year around the world and go do all the research there's documents that prove 500 people saw him after he died and rose I'm just telling you because you like your very smart and you put a lot of effort into this song and that end of the day it doesn't mean anything The one thing that mean stuff is stuff we do for others not ourselves and stuff we do for God that's what matters The problem with you two it makes people self-centered they want to be famous they want to be seen they feel like then need to have attention they find a way to try to make money easy TH-cam has produced nothing will not nothing but mostly garbage it is turn society into garbage and there's so many other things that it's done that too

3 Redondas en 4/4?????

Why, oh why was Wagner such a horrible and disgusting person? Listening to his music in awe goes a bit in the direction of admiring a painting of Hitler. I will never be able to wrap my mind around the fact that this divine, supreme music was written my maybe the most repulsive character in music history. But it simply is exquisite music. Elegant, thought through, overwhelming, touching, timeless, beautiful, exciting, intelligent. And he lived long ago enough and didn't mass murder people. So I will forgive myself for listening to his works. But it will always have a certain aftertaste. Because he simply was a haggish, nasty and bitter narcissist with a profound, passionate hate and disgust towards Jews. It is a paradox to me how such a horrible person could possibly create music/lyrics dripping with tenderness, longing, melancholy, love, pathos, elegance and purpose. Incredible.

сделайте то же видео с сыном Алоизия

love you

I've been listening to it since I was 12 (so 16 years) and I always liked it, I found it special. Today I heard it randomly on the radio with a friend in a car. I told my friend "the song does something with me". I never knew what it was

That EMaj7 at the end is simply wonderful and never gets old 🥰🥰

Scientifically catchy

That's a lot of fancy words I only partially understand but needless to say this song is a BANGER

What a great lesson! Congrats!

IT'S A FIFTH LOWER!

How could something this extraordinary sophisticated become a world wide hit?

Absolutely incredible analysis Jonas - I came here after learning this on the acoustic with ¡Guitarra, Guitarra, Guitarra! - I am no intellect regarding to the theory but I love the fact that you have arrived in the same space and that this song as are so are many of Nik's song harmonically genius!

44/3 : your chord 6-4 means d# g# b but your III means d# f# a#. It's not the same sounds.

Interesting, I’ve never had any issues of feeling the 1 in that section… And considering that the bass line continues with the same groove even in the last A section, I feel that the heavy 2 and 4 beats are just a part of the feeling of this song. But I do think it’s an interesting idea to explore more.

Dreamer was composed only by Roger Hodgson when he was 17 years old. He had Sony recorder that (maybe was broken) could record and playback without limit. He played his new Wurlitzer, all the instruments and voices. Used cardboxes and even galsses with water. When the band tried to play Dreamer in the studio the music was so complex that they give up and used the original recording to play over it.

-How many? -Yes

This piece actually goes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I remember how astonished I got on the first hearing... That feeling still today is quite fresh

Nice analysis - thanks!

Outstanding work!!!

This explanation of the harmonic complexity of the song brings tears of joy to my eyes and so much happiness to my heart.

Like the other commenters, I have often wondered where the happy tension in Dreamer came from. Nice job. Great band, great songwriting.

I know its four your later but I had to comment. I have talked about this song for years to my friends and family but they just look at and nod there heads (none of the play an instrument). When you started talking about this song I started to cry a bit with joy. Thank you for posting.

This composers use as complex and epic harmony as this before chopin? Or is it his innovation

this was an excellent harmonic analysis! I love how the figured bass was so detailed and all of your facial expressions representing the feeling each chord evokes! one major thing that you could've improved though, is putting lowercase roman numerals for minor and diminished chords, for example, the chord at 1:08, the 7 chord, is correct, but the roman numeral should be lowercase (write it as vii instead of VII) to make the chord quality clearer, as it is a type of diminished 7th chord.

I went to see him the other night on his "1984" Tour. A-May-Zing! Great analysis by the way.

1:58 1:53

Hmmm, alas lots of approximations of English or straight mistakes in the commentary...for me a better idea would have been to use your mother tongue and then a translator to produce an English version. While analysing the song may be an interesting exercise, I think you also have to bear in mind that 20-something Kershaw, while musically inclined and gifted, was not extensively trained but rather self-taught, and would no doubt have been writing what he heard, unencumbered by these theoretical paradigms. The freedom of modulation in the synth part of the interlude reminds me, of all things, of the b-side synth accompaniment on the French TV program Chapi Chapo by François de Roubaix!...who was also formally untrained, incidentally.

Congratulations for your work. But, I have to say, though, I strongly disagree with your point about the time shift. What you're hearing in the bridge I would not actually define as a shift in meter, but rather a stylistic choice in the arrangement-something that's very common in popular music, especially with weak beat accents. For example, listeners familiar with the one-drop rhythm in reggae (where the kick and snare land on 2 and 4) might find this sensation of displacement you're talking about simply non-existent. It's all about the arrangement, not the meter itself.

Listen to "Cowboys and indians" chorus, he did a similar thing.

Add closed captions please! Some of us need them! Thank you!

Add closed captions PLEASE! Thank you.

Back then I was just learning the piano and was really frustrated I couldn't make out all the chords. Later when I was able to, it almost took away the magic to know what was going on.

Before I even watch, I have to say that C part is absolutely nuts. I could pick the rest of the song pretty easily by ear but I gave up as soon as that C part started.

6:47 "Transposing the last chorus of a song a step or two upwards is quite common" - akshually just stepping up one semitone is not that uncommon either. It's just extremely artfully executed here (and I admit I never noticed it myself - not having perfect pitch - until I actually played the song for the first time). And yes, with regard to artful chord progressions, this song is one of my favorites along with MJ's Thriller and few Pet Shop Boys tracks.

If you play his songs you can tell he was into music theory
