All artists learn and are inspired by others but if you are gonna copy another artists work then you shoulf at least give credit to the original artist

Bro how much anime do you watch to have so many references 😂

So basically everything is either 4/4 or 2/2 or one of those with a weird variation

I think minor is more dramatic and wild in the sense that it is more unexpected. Major is more calm and steady? I mean you could probably break that rule. Its kinda like a child and adult sorta vibe. The sporatic movements of a child and the stability of the adult. Idk, that might entirely wrong

the thing about most star wars villian themes is that they all have this progression, not just the imperial march but also duel of the fates and the emperors theme, anakins theme is also the imperial march being played in major

i dont know what i watched, but you seemed like you do. so i stayed for the sanity

Someone has to say it, that thumbnail looks wild out of context

dont forget its also very cultural!

This feels so weird to me, because as an orchestra player I would have for sure though 3/4 to be the second most common! I guess pop is quite a different genre from orchestral pieces, huh 😂

Almost all of these follow the same back beat pattern. In my ears, it being triplets or not doesn’t change that. 12/8 vs 4/4 vs 6/8 vs 2/4 is just ease of reading for the musician. The only sound that TRULY pushes the limits of time meters in pop is Hey Ya! and Something in the Orange. But that’s only because they use mixed meter. We have yet to hear a pop song that actually has a different FEEL from te basic backbeat structure. I just really wish there was a nice 10/4 or 7/8 shuffle in there. It would be so cool just knowing something as whack as that is on the charts

to all the LZ haters,why hate on LZ? its the record companies that give credit to artists what u think the 4 of them just said hey lets not pay them? of course not the accounting is done by the RECORD COMPANIES,its been done by MANY MANY MANY aristst The Beatles Nirvana Oasis The White stripes etc

Tetris theme is russian folk song "Korobeiniki" you are ignoramus

the most well-known song that uses the Dorian mode is "Saturday" by Swedish musician Basshunter

The chords for move on up sound like the lark ascending

....and there are those dynamic scales (or *ragas* ) in Indian classical music, where the melody is in a major scale/mode and suddenly shifts to its parallel (not relative) minor or vice versa in the same song. Examples being the songs, *(i)"Ek Do Teen"* from the 1988 film Tezaab (example of intermittent shifts from an initial parallel Major to a parallel minor and back again) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4SYc3-JZ9h8eq8si=xeFnC4Tb8zBYXZJ0 and the patriotic Hindi song, *(ii)"Sare Jahan Se Achha Hindustan Hamara."* (example of intermittent shifts from an initial parallel minor to the parallel Major and back again) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZWXlISnaZ1siLcsi=T2dn02tIBOnq-80n But it's unlikely that it is construed as modal shifts in their own musical theory the way we might with Western music theory.

all the minor song examples although don't feel sad, definitely all felt sassy

g, b, d, f#, g chord

Another nice example (to me, at least): "Bringing Home the Bacon" by Procol Harum on their "Grand Hotel" album. It starts with the drums, then the piano still does not clarify the true rhythm, but finally the organ sets everything straight. And you can experience the same effect a second time near the middle of the song.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the song "Happy", which is in a minor key.

Great video! The "Ella Baila Sola" pronunciation made me do a double take though hahaha

it's masterplan by Oasis :o

The first David Bennett video that I haven't come close to finishing. Pop music since 2000 really has been awful. And so have the bling/celebrity-themed videos.

The ending of the video literally had me fall out of my chair.

I've noticed that Flo Rida uses 3:4 and 6:8 in his hip hop sometimes, which, to me, imparts a more playful feel to the music.

I can't remember the name of the music, only the melody and rhythm, but I'm high school concert band, I remember a piece written in alternating 4:4 and 7:8. It feels like a 16-beat with one beat missing.

But the other scales aren’t just relatives scales ? For example Bm Locrian is in fact a FM (idk it’s just a example)

A Waste of Blood by Matt Elliott, it's in G major... but damn the lyrics and the tape manipulation at the end are so tragic that it hits close to home for me.

Isn’t it called Klezmer in GarageBand?

11:25 At first I was afraid, I was petrified!

but also the fact that a minor 7, suppose Aminor7, its still a Cmajor6th!!

Please explain how Hero is 6/8 but If I Ain't Got You is 3/4. I don't understand why you would choose to make the bars half as long in one of the songs. Is it just because Hero's a bit faster?

Does equal temperament mean that guitar frets aren't equidistant and if so, how does that work for the different strings (i.e. different roots)

Attack of the Killer Queen by Toby Fox is in minor key and doesn’t even sound sad

all deep tech house is minor and is not sad but uplifting and groovy

Hi, do the major and minor scales only pertain to chords? or do they pertain to melody as well?

Well, this explains why I have a tendancy to write so many original tunes in 6/8 without realising.

I've always felt like major keys often sound really jarring when they're played in a usually minor key song

and those countries didn't invent any of the tech that the countries that use our system did

She king on my gizzard until I lizzard wizzard

Wot? No Thunder Road? Tsk!

Sultans of Swing, in the saddest of all keys.

Know what, my favorite sad song is in the C major key.

3:43 quite nice to use a rendition sung by the great Luciano Pavarotti

You should play the part where he actually said that and not cut it out after showing a video of him to try to get your point across.

when i saw the title, i thought he was talking about like minor stuff like getting a 1dollar paycheck and major being like A 100,000 PAYCHECK, but when i saw the video, i saw a literal electric keyboard/ piano, when i saw that electric keyboard / piano i was like "Oh sh**, i accidentally got into a melody, but when i watched, just got even more boring👉 if you cant see this, you probrably dont know about this message.

and then there's A minor, the favorite key of Kpop used for haughty and angry songs

How does he not get copyright struck. SHARE YOUR SECRET.

Today by Smashing Pumpkins is a really depressing song despite it being mostly major chords, and that sadness only intensifies even further when you look into the lyrics.

For the very first time I have understood counterpoint. Thanks a million, David!

It seems like there are two "musics". First music is interesting, inventive, it exists either for the art itself or for the passionate few - people who feel music and understand it. And second music is "pop music" which has nothing to do with first one. It exists to be popular. You'll never listen to this music passionately, it's like the background for social life. Shallow, restricted to the basic elements, and so on. I'm not saying second music is "bad", it's just completely different. Those musics have nothing to do with each other, and their fan bases almost don't intersect. For the fans of first one, second is cynical, irritating and shallow and the fans of second music even don't know that first exists.
