black midi - Ascending Forth/Nylon - live (new song)

[@stickysappy]

How in heck did they compose this masterpiece

[@altrumodi5694]

with 4ths i guess

[@joshk3939]

put his pen to forehead, waited for proof of his unquestioned gift, miserably clutched, tried in vain for one pure line, slipped into the warm, soft night, spilt ink freely on his finest scores, generally tried and risked

[@nolestrono]

I really hope Greep sings it on the studio version as breathy as he does here, it fits the song so well

[@mattdrummond3552]

I bet you he does because the recent single Despair has the breathy Greep. Studio captured it well

[@nolestrono]

@@mattdrummond3552 I can’t listen to them till Friday makes me sad. So fuckin pumped for Cavalcade

if you haven't already heard the studio version, it sounds absolutely phenomenal

[@vinnieisntreal]

@@meagan4605 you know damn well I was at the listening party (it sounded fucking incredible, all expectations exceeded, AOTY)

[@eschlagenjeim1945]

yeah i love ascending fourths

[@FairuzOsman]

prefer descending fifths tbh

[@mattdrummond3552]

1:30 - 1:37 feels so Mahavishnu Orchestra influenced. If you're unfamiliar, listen to their songs Dance of Maya or maybe Stepping Tones

[@archieforde]

mahavishnu orchestra are so so so good. actual 1970s black midi !!!

[@georges5562]

greep said that they all bonded over bands like mahavishnu orchestra so not surprised

[@Rosalina102798]

Honestly, I still prefer this version over the studio one, especially when it comes to the more intense sax playing near the end and the almost cacophonous guitars and drums clashing against each other in a violent climax.

This is probably Ascending Forth, it'll be the closing track for their new album. Geordie sings it in the very beginning

Is the sax guy just touring or a new member?

touring, matt was gone for some reason so they brought a sax player and a piano player on tour.

fronk I hope Matt comes back. He takes the spotlight away with his crazy stunts and antics.

i think this song has been released as "Despair" but i still prefer this version.

[@StudioScarecrow]

Nope, this one is Ascending Forth, the closing track off the album. "Ascending forth" is the first line of the song

[@yoshifanfic]

@@StudioScarecrow thats awesome that you noticed that! plus now i can hope it sounds as good as this in studio!! thanks

[@deandesoto1609]

@@StudioScarecrow So they made the same song twice and just changed some of the lyrics and extended it?

[@StudioScarecrow]

@@deandesoto1609 I think it's more that Despair is an alternate version, it's not intended to be a separate song
