Tragic Kingdom (the album this is from) is a masterpiece of the 90's, and doesn't have a bad song on it. When this hit, it sounded like nothing else on the radio. Yes, it's got it's ska roots, but it still feels so fresh even 25 years later. This song, Just a Girl, Sunday Morning, Don't Speak, Tragic Kingdom (the song), Excuse Me Mister, and Happy Now? are all fantastic songs from this killer album. I think you guys just need to listen to the whole thing (ideally on a stream!) or at the very least, check it out in your own time. You'll love it.

I had this blasting many a day, hopped up on caffeine and coding like a fool. This and many other 90s masterpieces. As I mentioned on their other No Doubt video, I moved out to Silicon Valley for the gold rush. I had not been keeping up with what had happening musically. Another guy at the new job swapped a couple CDs with me, and he gave me Tragic Kingdom and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. That completely changed my musical world, and now the 90s are my favorite musical decade despite the fact that I graduated in 81 and am really a child of the 60s/70s.

What you're thinking about in terms of her voice is pitch vs. sound placement. The pitch on this song isn't particularly high in the female register, but her placement is nasal and dental. Basically, she's laser-focusing her sound at the front of her mouth near the top, which not only gives it a lot of presence to help her cut through the other instruments in the mix, but also helps bring out the overtones in her voice. Overtones are notes above the note that you hear that give an instrument its unique timbre, the way it sounds. By isolating those overtones, her voice has a certain ringing bell-like quality to it. There are actually a few traditional vocal styles that completey isolate the overtones to create two distinct pitches at once. These styles of singing developed in chanting by Tibetan monks, folk songs by tribal people in the Altai/Tuvan region of Northern China/ Southern Mongolia, and a folk tradition among duets of women in Inuit tribes. The reason other than the pitch that gives her voice depth even though it's laser-focused is spin. Basically, by creating a big space in her mouth (like you do when you yawn), she's allowing the air coming through her mouth to swirl around, giving it sonic richness. Think of it like an ukulele compared to an acoustic guitar. The acoustic guitar has a larger space inside for air to swirl around in, so the sound is thicker and richer than an ukulele's. The reason she's able to do those fast vibratos (the warbling sound in her voice) is that she supports her lungs with her diaphragm like when you take a deep breath. By pushing significantly more air than what is necessary to create a note through her vocal folds, she causes them to flap, creating what is called forced vibrato. This also distorts her voice somewhat, which gives it that edgy sound quality. Every singer who is supporting their voice well will have a vibrato, but it's not something they can immediately summon on command to accent shorter notes unless they take this more forced approach. It takes talent and skill to do this without damaging your voice, which goes to show that Gwen Stefani is an exceptional singer.
@Captainpigraven2 жыл бұрын
It makes me sad that some people feel they had to hide their enjoyment for a song, a band, or even a genre of music. I understand why. My uncle was all about experiencing different music, and as a result I grew up with a pretty expansive palette of taste. I wasn’t shy about what I liked or listening to something when it fit my mood, and I was often teased for those things. But part of being a teenager is learning to appreciate yourself and find who you are and what you like and embrace those things. How can you do that if you’re constantly hiding things out of fear of what your peers might think or say? Why would you ever let someone dictate like that the choices you make when it comes to your own personal taste. What’s worse, it’s pretty clear from some of these responses that some people still “hide” their interests even as adults. And I just think that’s really sad.

that thing you're talking about where it's low and high, that's a category in sound called Harmonics, which is the multiple Overtones (more than one frequency) you are hearing at once. Lots of sounds you hear have multiple tones in them, overtones - multiple frequencies. Like, if you listen to a lawn mower going, you hear one overall machine-like sound, but if you listen closer you can here multiple sounds. You hear the middle pitched loud sound, but if you pay attention you can also hear the lower rumbling sound. Or listen to a big bell ringing, like a church bell, listen close, and you'll be able to pickout multiple overtones, different notes. Different people with their different ears can hear them better or worse. Anyways, the same is true in a human voice. You hear a main note, but sometimes the sound has a quality to it that's huskier, or nasaly, or boomy, or ringing. Every voice is unique in the way they harmonically sound, the kinds of overtones they make. Gwen is a MASTER at manipulating her voice that way. Sometimes she goes soft, which sounds 'lower', sometimes she pushes hard and sort of cracks upward and it sounds 'higher' because her technique is pushing that higher overtone out. I know that was long, but that's what's going on. It's fascinating stuff if you're into the science of sound and music. And you know what else?? the guitarist does it a ton in this song too! he uses guitar harmonics! Like when he hits that high note on every phrase of his verse riff, where it sort of screetches higher for one note. that's harmonics! Try pointing out to yourself when you hear things like that and you'll be amazed at how it's all around us. this is just a great example of a song where it's being heavily utilized.

And they all came from Frank Zappa's band. When Frank got sick he encouraged them to form their own band. Dale was a fantastic vocalist, though she used her inflections a lot in MPs, where she used a more powerful traditional voice for Frank. Terry Bozzio is one of the top drummers of all time and inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 97'. Warren Cuccurullo is one of the top technical guitarists, and was cutting edge in his heyday, making his own instruments and pedals to create sounds that guitars didn't make. Warren replaced Andy Taylor in Duran Duran and wrote and played on some big hits on the Wedding Album. All of them were fantastic musicians, including bassist Patrick O'Hearn , and keyboardist Chuck Wild who recorded and wrote for Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul, Philip Bailey, and more.

Fun fact- back then caller ID wasn’t prevalent. To know who was calling was to actually answer the house phone! So to screen the call is to let the answering machine get it, hear who is leaving a message and decide to pick up or not. When you have unwanted calls, you’d start to not answer any call until you know who’s there. The chorus is like an answering machine message… “sorry I’m not home right now…”

If you want to really hear an incredible song that shows her power and range, and that of the band, try the song, Tragic Kingdom. It's a prophetic song really, talking about the fall from grace of Disney. The lyrics are so well written. "They drop to their knees They pay homage to a king Whose dreams are buried In their minds His tears are frozen stiff Icicles drip from his eyes The cold wind blows as it snows On those who fight to get in On heads that are small Disillusioned as they enter" You'll have to do a live version to hear it the way it should be heard.The track is great, but you really have to see the live show or you'll be missing out on the power and energy of the performance. Even if you can't post the live video, do yourselves a favor and watch it. It is a different kind of song for them, more rock oriented, with a fantastic bass line as well. `\

Nice that's they're most ska hit (unless you count the oi to the world cover and I'd wait for the Christmas season to review that one) in my opinion. They were definitely helpful bringing ska (rhymes with Pa) to mass culture in the mid 90s. Definitely a lot of cool 3rd wave ska songs to check out.

You have to watch Gwen Stefani in her videos. She is a very visual artist and once you see her sing in video or live you will appreciate her more! She still is amazing today because of her look and style . Shes all girl power and everything good about California !

You guys should check out Garbage. Paranoid, Stupid Girl, Number One Crush, Only Happy When It Rains. Another great 90s band.
