Good & Evil Analysis (Tally Hall)

#tallyhall #rallyhall
No one has made an analysis of the Tally Hall album Good & Evil yet so I decided that I, being a big fan of the album, decided to do it myself. Fun fact I had the whole video almost completed and then I listened to You & Me and I made a new interpretation of it that reshaped how I saw the whole album. Overall I think this is correct for the most part but we’ll see…

I like to think "Turn the Lights Off" is also about how people gets to live with bad persons in their work, home or schools, and how we have to turn off the lights of our innocence to not get fooled by them

[@chrisdeeter5833]

For sure! That’s definitely true in the chorus.

[@limepact]

Judging from the official music video, the song is actually about puberty, but good interpretation i like it!

[@fionngalvin7338]

I think that turn the lights off is about how people can be evil in private (with the lights off, under the covers, etc) and its message is how everyone has these thoughts (everybody likes to get to get taken for turns, etc) but cant talk about or show them in public (all good devils masquerade under the light). With the main "plot" of the song being about a child on the verge of adolescence, realising that the adults in their life arent as good as they seem, which breaks the childs innocence (a callback to never meant to know.) The boy is also scared of maturing, and becoming that kind of person (the entire first verse). The song ends with the boy realizing that this is just a fact of life that he must live with, realising he must "walk the fire". I feel like that was a message in the music video as well.

"I could talk so much more about this album" PLEASE DO

[@amazingpurplegirl0903]

It's interesting to see an analysis of a whole album that isn't Hawaii: Part II. I was particularly interested to see your interpretation of &, which I could agree with, as I've just done my own video on this, and I compared it with the 1980s song "I Won't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" by Nik Kershaw as they both feel like protest songs, with & stating what happens if that bomb detonates

[@butchmcporksaw]

Turn the lights out could be a reference to drug abuse

[@chrisdeeter5833]

For sure! I somewhat allude to this at the end of the video but there’s an argument to be made that every song on Good & Evil can be paired w/ a song from MMMM. Good Day & Fate of the Stars, Banana Man & Turn the Lights Off, Greener & Never Meant to Know, ect. It’s probably not intentional but it’s a fun way to look at the two albums.

[@JustSomeoneHi]

as someone who literally never analizes songs, this was definitely worth a watch!

[@ØçëāñŠhåŕķ2334]

"And haiku is only sad when you look at the syllable count" well, yes, but actually...... yes?

[@douwantabanana]

my intepration is that the 'good' part of good and evil is every song and the 'evil' part is that uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... i dunno

[@theaviationmonke5056]

Good & Evil is probably the most forgotten ablum that is by tally hall- wait

[@chrisdeeter5833]

The past may continue to breathe

[@Nataka_Kurokawa]

You have an intriguing interpretation but A Lady was about Joe Hawley's grandmother.

[@chrisdeeter5833]

True! Honestly, it doesn’t really matter who it’s about because again the important thing is the acknowledgement of both Good & Evil. The reason that I said it was a loving relationship instead of one between a grandmother and grandchild was because in an earlier interpretation I had of the album, I thought that the first half of the album was about love instead of human nature and that the meaning of A Lady had changed. Hymn for a Scarecrow being the major problem with that theory that caused me to change my interpretation. That being said, if you listen to the demo of Sacred Beast it kind of confirms the idea that the first half of the album was, at least for a period of time, meant to be about love. “We thought love was only nice or mean. Perhaps it’s something vaguely in between.” Anyway, the point is you are correct and I am wrong.

@@chrisdeeter5833 You have a deep passion for this album, kudos

[@its_ya_girl_soundous]

wait is that real? or is it just your interpretation?/gen

[@afosandstufflol]

Awesome! Love the analysis and how simple it is - not overexplained or anything.

[@iamzen4483]

alright man i have to get this off my chest, CPG Gray is an educational youtuber, he has a video called Fable Of The Dragon-Tyrant and the lyrics of Sacred Beast match up with the same story. With the Sacred Beast being the Dragon.

[@chrisdeeter5833]

Fable of the Stars

[@AutuMedianMusic]

Tally Hall Mentioned!! Also, amazing work on this analysis! This gave me a lot of new perspectives on the songs in the album (I thought Never Meant to Know was a song about humans never being able to know everything!) Keep up the great work!

[@ilovegarfield19678]

wow, this is really underrated! if you havent already, could you do Cojum Dips album "Cojum Dip" next maybe? (this is just a suggestion, not forcing)

[@chrisdeeter5833]

I would love to do that since I haven’t really analyzed the Cojum Dip album too much. That being said, it isn’t a concept album (to my knowledge) so I don’t think I could find a story to tell in a video. I’m glad to find a fellow Cojum Dip enjoyer though! I love jazz but I get burnt out of it so quickly so I appreciate how Bora breaks it up with rock and metal elements!

[@ilovegarfield19678]

ME TOO!! but i wasnt thinking like a story, more just to see the meanings of the songs @@chrisdeeter5833

This is a really good analysis! Keep it up
