Does "Something in the Way" on the The Batman soundtrack also use that Major 3rd? Is that why they picked it? It sounds very similar to the theme to my normie ears.

Love your detailed attention to music theory in this video. I'm a music theory teacher and am a huge theory nerd. 😁 I just started working on intervals with one of my students who loves Wicked and I will share this video with her.

Oh fuck me. I recently rewatched Die Hard at the cinema, and at the end, when the paper is falling down from the building, I turned to my Mom and said "It's snowing", thinking that was the intention.

I love this! I saw this already discussed in the comments, but I also thought the new chord in the final chorus is her son - only because of what your video taught me, it’s been so many years since I learned anything about music. And never composition like this! It’s so cool that this is free on KZbin. I wonder if part of why that meaning of the new 2 chord jumped out to some people is that the “shift in gravity” from loving a husband to loving a son is pretty major in many women’s lives. It’s even described that way by many women. So this change in resolution, in the anchor of Jane’s love, makes perfect sense. I have always heard the whole end of the song as referring to her love for her son in her last days. I wish Jane Seymour had gotten to really be a mother. She would have been a good one, I think.

Why haven’t you done anything of Taylor Swift songs? At least do, a breakdown of all too well the original version versus the 10 minute version please 🙏

Interesting cut to They Live, because the glasses work exactly the opposite to what you’re trying to get across here. Those glasses show the world for how it truly is, rather than filtering and limiting reality as you discuss.

Glasses have been a symbol in many films, and they've represented many different things, which is one reason I was able to see what they were doing in Wicked.

Came back to this video. In What else can I do (precisely at 11:07 on the video) there's a really nice key change. So yeah, Isabela can access another set of colours, hence the different chords. But do you have any thoughts on the harmony happening here? Would love to hear more of Encanto from you

Cynthia said she wanted defying gravity to be earned and you can tell she studied the lyrics and music to understand the evolution of Elphaba and it works in the film

Something i didn't realize until seeing the movie was defying gravity literally meant flying. So it was used literally and figuratively in the story.

My favorite thing about the visuals is how it showcases Luisa downplaying her troubles and feelings. “Who am I if I can’t run with the ball?” - the ball is the literal planet. “Line up the dominos, a light wind blows” - the wind is a literal tornado. And, well, this line isn’t illustrated, but “Give it to your sister, it doesn’t hurt / And see if she can handle every family burden”. Yeah it does hurt, but she’s denying it. I see so much of myself in Luisa… 😢

INCREDIBLE analysis! This film has reignited my love for music/musical theater and your video has taught me a tangible reason as to *why*. As someone who was an English major, I haven’t been this inspired to analyze any piece of art since college and I can’t thank you enough. I’m so inspired.

Your post on wicked a few weeks ago was the reason I went to see this opening weekend.. i figured if you raved about it this much, it has to live up to the hype. I rarely enjoy musicals when on the big screen., but I haven’t enjoyed a movie in so long.. these are the types of movies I had been missing. It was everything ❤ I’m so glad I went
