"8PM"

Already with another music composition? Yep, I guess I'm really doing this.
So I don't have a whole lot of "trivia" or whatever for this one. I'm well aware that the verse is a pretty blatant sample of a Hootie and the Blowfish song, and props to anyone who recognizes it. It used to play at Pick N Save sometimes. Which yeah, I modeled part of this after a PICK N SAVE SONG. What has happened to me.
There's also a much smaller nod to a Turtles song, and I'd be even more impressed if somebody sniffed that one out. I dropped a bit of a motif from the "10AM" song 'cause I know ACNH did that sort of thing across a lot of its tracks and I assume New Leaf and the others must have done the same, but I'm not sure. It still sounds a little awkward to me when it shows up, but I guess it's true what they say about you being your own worst critic.
Otherwise, I think the biggest "risk" I took (if you can even call it that) was trying to make a bass line that did something besides sitting on the root most of the time. Granted, there are parts where it does just that, but I also wanted to let other parts of the song stand out in those moments. The banjo is such a fun instrument and I hope to use it more in the future.

Banjo-Threeie composer been real quiet ever since this dropped

[@5LbSquirrel]

Well probably because Banjo Threeie is never happening

[@byzantineroman2407]

Good... Now, we just need a band to play it. You know who'd be perfect...? Yes.

[@NintendoCapriSun]

I totally agree, in a roundabout way.

[@byzantineroman2407]

@@NintendoCapriSun And You and I seem to agree here

[@zg234]

Always love when you share your MUSAC, Tim!

[@matthewleconey9813]

Love this Tim! While 10AM is great also, I think this one shows your growth and comfort in the program while showcasing a totally different vibe. The bassline often gets overlooked, but not in this song, it's works so well here. Here's hoping someone let's you compose songs for a game soundtrack someday, you certainly have the skills for it, but if not, we're happy to enjoy whatever you share as long as you have fun with it!

[@FourBoxComix]

You know Tim, I often find myself surprised by how musically talented you are. You talk frequently about music theory in your LPs that I shouldn't be surprised when you release a banger of a track composed entirely by yourself.

[@Fieryredhair08]

Very happy and cheery song. Reminds of what would play in a farm sim. 🚜

Who’s pickin the banjee?

Pick N Save saga?

[@missmilky6677]

@@user-rh1pb5oo4w wayyyyy back in like 2008-2009 NCS used to work at a grocery store called pick n save as a baker and talked about it in his lets plays made back then

This is definitely when you know to call it a day in Stardew/Animal Crossing/any sort of life sim

I love the bass! Heck, I love all of it!

[@EmmaMessner]

Tim, how tf are you so talented?! As always, your compositions SLAP!

[@junoeclipse7715]

a romhack/ indie game dev should get you to score a game at some point

[@Harmless_Music]

The growth in your music is astronomical. I love your willingness to modulate, it’s not something found in many composers nowadays. C Major to Parallel Minor brought a big smile across my face.

[@TwilightEclipse64]

Love it man, please keep experimenting, if you're sick of adding accidentals you can drag and drop a new key signature at any time from the tools section, check out the mixer too, that's fun for reverb, chorus and effects

[@NintendoCapriSun]

I did get to play around a bit in the mixer with adjusting volume of certain instruments. Even now I kinda wish I had turned the oboe down ever so slightly. But yeah, I had no idea about dropping in key signatures. I could see that being super useful.

[@VivaciousViv]

Man, Tim's music is just magical and so whimsical, with very chill undertones. Love every second of it, DUDE! Keep it up

[@ExinerisLP]

Damn man this kicks ass. That part at 0:50 and the bass line 10 seconds later are my favourite parts i think

[@XSaebaYRyoZ]

This made me immediately think of 2 things: Summer in Stardew Valley and... Yuffie for some reason. I can't get the image of Yuffie on a farm, not especially doing physical labor, just hanging around, while singing her materia song out of my head while listening to this. Joyous vibes, I like it.

[@zachhouston514]

YES! I had immediate Stardew Valley vibes and I am fucking in love with it. The Stardew Music is so good and Tim absolutely NAILED it

[@KhumoFiveTen]

Hey Tim, Old time fan here! I remember seeing your older Mario Paint compositions back in the day around the time I started doing KZbin stuff. Did you ever go to any college courses or anything for music? You have a really good ear for creating some really solid melodies.

[@NintendoCapriSun]

Closest thing to an education I have was a music class we took in the 5th grade, but having a keyboard growing up and improvising melodies on it (with those sweet "Casio chords" where you could just press C to get like a synthesized CEG for example) made it super easy to just play around and make stuff up that sounded cool. My Dad taught me a bunch of stuff on guitar later, but I was also a lot older and so I guess never really made the time to commit to it. So I could play like basic three-chord stuff but that was about it.

[@KhumoFiveTen]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@NintendoCapriSunExperimetation goes a long way for sure. Genuinely, keep up the great work!

[@GamerMom33]

My toddler heard the first 5 seconds, put his piano to the side and ran over to listen to this masterpiece. 😊

[@samelliott7789]

dude you had such a huge impact on my childhood, I've re-watched the PvZ series countless times, so glad to see you're still on KZbin

[@NintendoCapriSun]

Very much appreciated; I'm thankful to still be here!

[@MasterFenril]

Calling it now, Tim is working on his own farming sim like Concerned Ape did.

[@thomasescorcio4260]

You are very skilled at this

[@FrossTF]

Seriously, the banjo-kazooie vibes are absolutely rooted in this piece. I can just imagine myself running around a farm as the duo causing all kinds of shenanigans. Incredible work as always, keep it up Tim! :D

[@Hellisarc]

Gives me happy feet! Such a welcome light happy vibe. Thank you for sharing this with us~

[@thededsec1017]

Definitely gives me nice Stardew vibes. The bassline is really good. Great work dude. I always enjoy your compositions

[@isanalias]

Ah yes, it is now 8 PM as I watch this. I did not know I needed some relaxing banjos in my evening, but far be it from me to deny them.

[@theattila567]

I feel like NCS could compose for an indie game. I love this tune and it would totally fit as an early game area in an RPG or the main theme to a life sim.

[@DoomnDust]

Some really tasty bass-lines in there.

[@Betsy7Cat]

…aight brb gotta go pull my bass out now

[@lmcd301]

Very nice! That organ part definitely rounds out the 8pm effect. Also I actually think the 10am motif works really well, although it does make that part sound a little more afternoonish probably.

[@Hypervalence]

Sounds fantastic as always Tim! I love hearing you experiment with banjo. I'm not sure I've ever heard you make use of it before.

[@ExinerisLP]

Stopping by again to say (again): DAMN dude I'm really loving this. Listened to it a few times since you put it on here, and each time I'm appreciating it more. I've been here on the channel since 2012 and have always been excited when you drop a track you composed. Thanks for putting the time and effort and sharing these, Tim

[@NintendoCapriSun]

Aw, so glad to hear that! The repeat listeners always make me feel grateful, 'cause I know a lot of the songs I love the most in my life are ones that didn't necessarily "hit" me until I heard them multiple times. Even some songs from my childhood that came back later only hit me as an adult after I had probably heard them dozens of times before. But yeah, I think I already know what I'm going to do for the next one, just have to make up my mind which hour. Leaning towards 1AM. Anyway thanks again!

[@ExinerisLP]

@@NintendoCapriSun bit late on the draw here, but still loving the song man. And hell yeah; it's awesome rediscovering old music by listening to it again and again, or even once after not listening in years. It makes old music new and that's amazing. Really looking forward to 1am (or any hour for that matter). 1am from Animal Crossing New Leaf is a really mellow emotional song. If you haven't had a chance to give it a listen you should check it out man 👍

[@carrotspace8593]

Glad to see more music from you!

[@Phenyphen]

This is really great! Knowing that you taught yourself to read this kind of notation makes it that more impressive! Well done!

[@Finnycoco]

Love this, kinda gives Outer Wilds vibes with the banjo. Really excited to see you making new music!

You have a talent for this. I would encourage you to expand on it.

[@danman3163]

I dont play those farming-sim games, but it does for real sound very similar to one of those in terms of quality, to my ears.

[@lambdachi107-gamingandmusi2]

This tune has some real Stardew Valley vibes going on, almost like it could've been composed by ConcernedApe himself. It just gives off that cozy small town feel, y'know?

[@tylersandusky]

Very whimsical

[@NinjaKinopio]

Ah sorry I hadn't noticed your compositions before, that was a really nice listen to. I get what you were probably going for from the title but honestly it gave me the feeling of like an rpg village or one of those songs in pokemon black & white where you can get the musicians around town to join in. Just what I was thinking though and I know I seem to think in particularly strange ways.

[@NintendoCapriSun]

The stranger, the better as far as I'm concerned! The last thing I would want is for everyone to see it the same way or picture the same thing when they hear it. I always did love that song from Black and White that you get the townsfolk to join in on.

[@EvanMMO]

very nice, Tim!

[@jimbojambo396]

I initially misread the title as "8BPM", and was horribly confused when it said 118 BPM at the start :P

[@derekspradling7452]

I definitely get the banjo Kazooie vibes mentioned, but I’m feeling a bit mother 3 with that baseline. I can almost mentally see duster playing it.

[@ExinerisLP]

Yup that's what I was thinking! I get Banjo (both meanings in this case), Earthbound, and Stardew vibes when I listen to this. Plus a dash of Uematsu

[@codinplays3180]

Such an intriguing and happy sounding tune. Definitely fits a peaceful town theme, like certain Pokemon games or Earthbound's Onette. Excellent work composing! XD
