Black and white imagery often feels linked to death because of both historical and psychological reasons. First, in the past, black-and-white films and photos were used to document funerals, memorials, and other somber events, so we’ve come to associate that aesthetic with loss and mourning. It’s like a cultural shorthand-if it’s black and white, it’s “serious” or “in the past,” and often, that past includes death. On a psychological level, color plays a huge role in how we perceive life and vitality. Without color, everything feels more muted, which can subconsciously signal something is missing-like life itself. Plus, black and white strips away the energy color gives, so what’s left feels colder, more distant, and final. This is why we see black and white used in films to highlight death, tragedy, or the end of something, even if that’s not the direct intent. It’s just a deep-rooted visual cue.
The black and white bit makes it feel like she died 😭
I thought it was just me 😭
Exactly lmao
HELP😭I just thought the red was too distracting for such a sad song
I thought u were being dramatic then I saw it and was like oh damn.
@@mrmelaninmagic I swear I didn't mean it to look like that it was supposed to be a montage of 14/04/94 riahs for the anniversary theme😭
2024 just like me in group projects 😍
I kinda wish lambs were not as harsh as us 😬
Lmfao 😭
RIP Mariah, we all miss you most at Christmas time 😔
some lamb in like 2100 is going to fr be saying that though😔
Now why would you even say that 😭
Oh that’s not-
0:13 her sick no voice airy tone sounded so good on this part
0:20 close your eyes and you'll hear Butterfly
No
I HEAR IT ON THE "deCEMber"
@@kwazinessthe one syllable is so funny but i hear it too
2023 Ate 2022 soo bad 🥹
Full live version ❤
Lol the last few seconds 😂
i love 2022 vocals
Wish you included the snippets she did in 2017 and 2018 too. Her voice was sooo good
That B&W bit made me tear up ngl 😭😭
1:31 dynamics!
HELP heeheeriah was right that black and white bit is depressing😭
I made this before she started singing live again maybe that's why💀I was feeling nostalgic
1:44 "that's my line"
oh it did make it look like she died with the b&w
the 2023 clip throws me off cuz the instrumental isn't on tempo like 2022🫢
it was faster to begin with so I stretched it and stuff but it still sounds a little weird😭
the split second snippet from 2017 is in another key right?
@@coltonisalamb I think it was also in +1 key😭
@ the eras didn’t come together to plan the group project this time 👹
@@coltonisalamb ikr 2010s went rogue👹 even 2024 contributed something in the right key
Why not use the pro audio?
Not live
@@coltonisalambthe ending was
@@westanmariah I kind of liked the way the audience audio made her tone sound🤭 the pro audio sounds muffled in that production for some reason
@@VMariah oh it's cuz they dubbed it with that ugly whistle ooooaohhhoooo
@@westanmariah help😭wait I just realized is that the same whistle as the one in the 2024 track?
Not including the 2018 clip for any of this should be a criminal offence
it's in the wrong key and let me tell you 2018 tone sounds horrible pitched down😭😭
20th #1 after she dies
How does a color make it look like someone died 🙄
chill
