Wtf even is this song. And I thought that I’d never feel astonishment ever again in my life yet I came around this song wow

[@archebeats]

MY computer can't compute the bass. Watching the camera lens tremble makes me think there was an insane bass system there. Great song. great composer

[@enjoycelinesmusic]

I absolutely love this song.

[@ZforZ07]

live looping is whats up!!!!! Mint, just mint

[@HDu-zb6nq]

What heaven sounds like

[@noahcolston4380]

I will never understand the genius of this chord progression. There is some complex music theory stuff going on

[@kimseniorb]

just fucking transcribe it eh? the genius is a lot of overlapping and random notes, definitely not approached from a theory standpoint when he wrote it.

[@kimseniorb]

and listen to gospel, you'll understand where he steals his shit.

[@ThePaoOfTooh]

"where he steals his shit" lol. as for 'random overlapping notes', there are a tonne of diminished and sustained 7th's. but sure, 'random'... whatever you say....

[@Phoenix_3196a]

Could anyone explain to me some of the genius & music theory of this song? I’m very new to music production & am a bit curious. I do have a hard time getting into James Blake but I’m giving it my best rn.

[@RobertSlover]

Bach!

[@ZforZ07]

Live versions are always the best

[@letterstonepal6923]

this is genius ! Cant stop to listen all his songs !

[@kerblam]

haha, whenever he has to do live looping and then the crowd cheers in the middle of it, it'll be there for the whole song i wonder how james feels abt that. lol

Sampling god

[@maketimmycry]

those microphones are built not to pick up sound coming from outside sources

[@larsb001]

Extremely complicated lyrics!

[@grimblegrumble]

Apparently there isn't a studio version up on youtube... The fuck guys?
