I've been pretty intrigued by her music for a while now... But this video makes me want to really delve into it. This is interesting stuff. A very different angle on pop music. I'm almost through the video....and I'm really hoping he discusses her very first song *Ocean Eyes.* Probably my favorite BE song. Such a GREAT melancholy minimal pop song. So aching and yearning. I'm curious how that feel is achieved from a music theory standpoint.
It's what we call intelligence. We can recognize that her work is unique and creative. I am myself a musician and I love understanding another musician state of mind even if I don't really enjoy the music.
@@user-rv7ge1tc4l Yes. That stood out to me a lot when I listened to Optimist for the first time. Usually when artist collaborate, especially where Finneas was already an established artist, they can't help but influence the sound of the other artist. But Finneas is very talented at focusing on Billie's image 100% and not getting in the way with his own ego. Really cool guy for that
@@Jack2729o Exactly!!! But people usually can't cope with Billie being able to write besides sing, so they stubbornly repeat the mantra that Billie is so successful only because of her brother's genius
Man, if this is your take away on Billie, I’d love to hear your thoughts on The Cure. So many of the things you associate with her, I associate with them, including the horror asthetic and the cinematic style.
One cool thing about Xanny that might not be immediately obvious, I only just noticed it recently - the descending bassline chords are the same as the structure for Goodbye. Xanny's bridge practically IS the song Goodbye. You can even hear the "Please" line in the background.
Glad to see the old format back. The time and effort made in these videos really shows and they're all super informative. A feeling I honestly missed with the other format.
I honestly have no clue how I´ve existed on the internet without ever coming across this channel. Super amazing.. Thank you for the awesome content.. Time to binge your channel ( binging with babish reference not so intended )
This video is so helpful! It reaffirms a lotof the things I've noticed about her music and Finneas' production style but you explained everything in such a clear way that it really locked everything in for me. Love this type of content! Great work!
With TH-cam being full of creators now that promote their own products/courses/something else to buy, I found that you actually did it really well in this video. You struck a nice balance between being genuine and authentic, while still getting your stuff out there. I get it, making content costs a schnizzleton of effort, time and frustration and I think it's sad that as consumers we've grown used to getting quality content for "free". But I get more and more upset with TH-cam every day, often having my time wasted by videos that claim to be informative but are just an ad in disguise. This video was none of that. And as a songwriter it makes me actually more and more inclined to listen to what you have to offer. So thank you for that, and please please, eventhough it may be hard keep trying to stay that way. Also...The "Artists Series" is one of the cooles breakdowns I've seen. If I could get these in a 1 hour format, I think I'd quit Netflix and instead pay for that (it'll be more expensive, that's okay. Also, I'm so sorry for the rant. I want to add positivity instead of frustration and somehow hope I still managed. :) Cheers. PS: Anyone ever feel like watching TH-cam content reminds you of porn?..search for hours through all the cheap generic stuff out there till you find something heartfelt and genuine to watch for 15 minutes.
I've played music for twenty years, and your channel is what I've been missing the whole time. This is incredibly valuable information; it's changed my outlook on songwriting in the course of maybe 72 hours.
I've managed to learn so much from this series - thank you for putting out such high-level and insightful content like this. I think it would be cool if you took a look at acts like The Killers, Wallows, Depeche Mode, The Cure etc. Each of those groups have put out songs that are so melodically rich that it would be interesting to see your perspective on. Thank you again!
As a Billie fan. I love that you’ve done this. I love everything music production and theory! I love learnin the more Finneas adds to things. Finneas is such a musical genius. Thank you for this
My recommendation and why for your next video in The Artist Series. I would love to see a holistic analysis of OneRepublic. I think there is also a lot to be discussed with Ryan Tedder's style of writing. I’m sure the average listener can not tell what songs he has written for other artists, and he has said in interviews he’s never wanted to be a producer that leaves their fingerprints on records. Nor does he want to be known for a certain style. Part of the reason Rumor Has It came about (other than because of Adele writing Rolling in the deep a few days earlier with the other writer on that song. And that they were inspired to do a dark bluesy record, and Adele wanted to talk about all the rumors being spread about her.) But also because the day before they wrote Turning Tables, and Ryan shared his frustrations to Adele about how he did not want to be known as “the ballad guy” because of Already Gone, Bleeding Love, Halo, Turning Tables, Love Somebody, which lead to him breaking away from that with Rumor Has It, Maps, Love Don’t Die, and more recently Sucker. Anyways, my point is he’s doesn’t want to have a sound that puts him in a box. However when I listen to Brighter Than The Sun, I think: Ryan Tedder Melody (And even the style of the lyrics), when I read the lyrics of I Want You To Know, I think, wow this sounds familiar. I check the credits and sure enough he was the main lyricist on that song. In 1R songs and a lot of his cuts, there is a certain tendencies in lyricism that I immediately recognize as Ryan Tedder (however I’ve study almost all of his songs so maybe it’s just me). His harmonies and melody choices are also recognizable but I know that’s true for most singers anyway. I also think that the amount of sync deals they have done shows how accessible they are, with Feel Again, Good Life, Start Again, and recently Better Days, there’s a quality to it that makes it super universal feelings that everyone can relate to in a sense. For example the opening line of Counting Stars “lately I’ve been losing sleep dreaming about the things that we could be” I find it hard to find someone who can’t relate to that in some sense. Even their most recent album is called Human. Their music is not for everyone sure, but their music talks about the human experience mostly. I could go on and on but I’m sure you can make a really interesting video on the types of things they say, how there overall sound has changed very dramatically from being an alternative rock band at Coachella in 2006 to being dropped, then apologize getting remixed, them becoming a pop band. Dreaming Out Loud is pretty different from Waking Up, and then they went a lot more dance on Native and Oh My My. Oh My My also had quite a strange variety of sound. All of which I throughly enjoy. What type of listener likes One Republic, Ryan’s style of writing, and how they differ from the other types of bands they get compared to like Imagine Dragons and Coldplay which I think all three are drastically different from each other. And how all their singles compare to the deeper cuts on their albums. I hope reading this Friedemann is inspired to make a video on OneRepublic. Thanks.
I wholeheartedly agree. Tedder is one of the most interesting pop songwriters of the last 15 years or so and his discography is quite vast and diverse.
@@starsoflight Hmm....interesting to know. My knee-jerk reaction to One Republic is rather dismissive. Not unlike my reaction to Imagine Dragons. But...I've learned to temper my initial impression. For years I never listened to Coldplay...they were the butt of so many jokes. My loss. Once I _finally_ delved into their stuff...I was blown away. It's objectively great. I still hate Nickelback though. My open mindedness does have it's limits.... :P But fuck...even then....every now and then I'll hear some Nickelback song that might have a really creative interesting riff in the pre-chorus. It's not much....but I think it's important to appreciate creativity no matter where it comes from. Also, I have to check myself.....because any band/artist that becomes THAT popular....even if I personally don't like them, I have to realize there must be _something_ worthwhile there. Even if in the end, I genuinely don't like it. Also....music you honestly hate can be educational. WHY do you hate it? And WHY do others love it? What's going on there? Am I wrong? Are they wrong? Is anyone wrong...or right? If I find a Nickelback song rote and derivative....why? From a music theory perspective....what is it about that song that feels like nails on a chalkboard to me? It's honestly fun stuff to think about. I think anyone who truly loves music....and especially if they write their own music...should be willing to give ALL music a chance. Because there are diamonds in the rough. Case in point? That Britney Spears song Toxic....is really good! :)
@@avedic Todd In The Shadows did a good episode on OneRepublic's Counting Stars and Imagine Dragons' Demons. He also mentioned how easy it is to mix them up and I can't say I disagree.
Great video! Love the concept of "writing visual music." I'd love to see a video on The Smiths/Morrissey personally. Always feel his lyrics are a league of their own.
3 words: adolescent, creative and rebel(in an individualist and emotional way). For rebel i mean that i think she cares about her feelings first no matter what she's meant to behave but i find no word for that.
I was inspired and made a simplistic beat. It has a lot more character and direction than my other beats because I had a lot more control over exactly how I wanted it to sound. It sounds like something out of a movie
my three words to describe her were 1. sweet 2. soft 3 creepy and I couldn't believe how close I was to yours, and in the same order! O_O legit goosebumps
Im about to buy everything you are selling, I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now & I just got to know the knowledge you have. I think it’ll really help me make songs more melodic & not just spend time guessing and on what’s going to sound good or what I’m trying to achieve
Wow fascinating..I don't have synthesia I wish I did? I just freestyle to music till something sticks...I like new methods though..I normally get something out of a new methods Thank You I appreciate the work you put in to inspire us..and inspire us you have.
I've always found this kind of song/band analysis, lessons, top 5 trick about bla bla.. as clickbait and waste of time. Because maybe %5 is helpful and the rest is bait. That's how I experienced everytime. But your videos oh wow.. I've never seen this kind of analysis and your approaching is magnificent and different than all the others. Plus, your analysis too. I felt in love with your videos. I'm gonna dig all your stuff as of today. Thank you. Hope you will keep your style
I love what you doing with the series I know few artist I would love to see you touch on that have been at the back of my mind from Beyonce to Janet Jackson to Whitney Houston and Aaliyah keep doing what your doing
15:21 This reminds me of one of my favorite little musical moments on the song "IFHY" by Tyler the Creator. After the intro, where all the instruments start coming in, you can hear Tyler mumble something about how the beat could use a little more "yellow" and then you hear faint piano chords added to the mix. This has stuck with me because I can just imagine working on a song or beat with Pharrell and telling him to add some Orange to this or some magenta. I just find the idea very wholesome
I'd be very interested to watch "How .....writes a song" about Lewis Capaldi, Little Mix, Finneas, Shawn Mendes, Camilla Cabello, Niall Horan, 5 Seconds of Summer or Sasha Sloan. I'd love to hear about any of them :) Love this series!
I know he’s not super popular nowadays, but I think the complex harmonic vocabulary and amazing songwriting abilities of the late Elliott Smith would make a great video!
My three words of decribtion were: honest, melancholic, defiant Although I was thinking primarily about the long pre-album era. It was less horror-filled and not that dark.
I don't think my suggestion will get picked up as she isn't such a staple in the west, but an artist that is both brilliant and sorely lacking in any sort of youtube analyses is japan's and new york's Utada Hikaru. She self produces since she was 15! With 10 studio albums under her belt, under 3 different artist names, she has plenty of exquisite material to comb through and inspect. From her early "I wanna be like Aaliyah when I grow up!!!" teen years, to her weird experimental electronic 20's and her (present) introspective, minimalist mom-pop 30's (that's a very diminutive palette of descriptors... Sorry Hikki) she has so much diversity but such a personal approach to composition and production. I'd love to see your take on her!
So refreshing to see someone who actually does the homework on an artist before critiquing their content. subscribed.
I thought the exact same thing. Instant subscribe for me!
