- This is a kind of "lyric video" but describing the instrumental instead of the lyrics. This time i add comments about interesting aspects of the music. Tell me in the comments if you like it.
Before watch the video let me explain something:
In the majority of music the percussion exist to support the melody and it often mark the difference between verse and chorus but in Arca productions the beats create its own story, you can listen the music only paying attention in this layer and it have variations and motifs.
Thats why it sound so organic but its the reason too why some people doesnt like her music, is too much going on at same time.
Utopia is yet another album for future enjoyment, rn is still ahead of the time.
This make me appreciate the music more
Arca is such a production gemius, how he creates such lush soundscapes that can be both relaxing or completing unsettling. I'm hoping his next project will drop this year, it's been a few since his self titled album.
Amazing observations! This was a very interesting watch. I've also always thought that this song was about two sides "fighting", with the gentle side (Björk's voice, the harps, and the flutes) gradually becoming harder and harder to follow as the song progresses. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I've taken the ending as Björk accepting that you have to embrace grief / loss in order to heal and move on (echoing the sentiment of Vulnicura), hence the beats ultimately drowning out everything else. It's a very "cinematic" song if that makes sense, it's almost easier to imagine visually than to follow it sonically. She never fails to impress me!
Interesting observations! I already liked your earlier videos where you pointed out all the instruments and sounds in a song but your comments here made this one even more interesting. I'm sure I'll be listening Utopia with a different mindset from now on.
Thanks for this breakdown, it's brilliant. The intelligence is very obvious when you listen but to hear someone really breakdown what's going on takes it that bit further.
BEST SONG EVER !
Your work is amazing. Finally, somebody that appreciates the compositions. Incredible analysis.
and of course the flutes at the end mimic an ambulance siren or some kind of emergency sound
Such an interesting analysis - I'd never really thought of it as a 'battle' between nature and technology before, but now whenever I listen to it, it makes total sense. Amazing video!
I wish all music could be experienced visually like this!
Im so inlove with utopia, thanks for helping explain its complexity and beauty <3
The losing of the battle reminds me of “Let Down” by Radiohead where the digital noises won over the guitar
love love love this, thank you!
Love Rabits production on this!
Thanks for making this video! I love tearing songs into bits and pieces to "figure them out" as I put it, and Losss comes across as such a mess! It really isn't though and once you know all the parts it plays out so beautifully. Rabit, Björk, and Arca really knocked this song out of the park.
Your work and dedication is incredible. I hope to see you soon when Fossora releases :)
What about making a similar analysis on a Medúlla track? It’s definitely my favourite Björk’s record. It would be interesting to understand her underlying work with voice samples
I love this track so much
WOW! Thanks to you I discovered much more sounds than I used to hear in that song!
