Joker (2019): Bathroom Dance | fingerstyle guitar + TAB

Guitar tab and blog: www.intellimus...
Todd Phillips’ 2019 film, Joker, is a gritty exploration of mental health and societal alienation. The film follows Arthur Fleck, a struggling comedian who descends into madness, culminating in a city-wide uprising. The film’s haunting atmosphere is greatly enhanced by the dread-filled soundtrack by composer, Hildur Guðnadóttir.
Guðnadóttir is a tiny, soft-spoken Icelandic lady who also composed the score for HBO’s Chernobyl. While she has done some uplifting work with Johann Johannsson on Mary Magdalene - her musical niche seems to be hopelessness and despair.
Guðnadóttir’s music is inextricable from Joker’s gritty, psychological tone. With a blend of atonal cello melodies, and eerie electronic soundscapes - her music subtly telegraphs Arthur’s descent into madness.
I came up with this version rather quickly, and I love how it turned out. Initially, Hildur Guðnadóttir’s music doesn’t seem applicable to a single guitar performance. However, if one listens long enough, we can begin to hear the faint themes and melodies with in her dark and brooding work on Bathroom Dance.

That deep ringing bass is so melancholy yet calming; depressed yet at ease. sums up how joker gets comfortably mad.

[@SamxSZN_]

The swiping of the strings from 1:00 onward really feel like the vivid memories of a traumatic event, with the sounds made from the fingers on strings depicting the sound of a train going across the railway just like Arthur experienced when he finally snapped.

[@Zero-Dev64]

Your interpretation of the piece is amazing, I shared this video on my personal Facebook in Brazil and people loved it congrats.

All I thought after listening to this is about the death of Arthur and me subscribing to you

[@Ra6vn]

I haven't seen Joker yet but I wish to address the music part. When I listen to classical songs played on guitar I find many players with amazing almost perfect techniques but only few if any can truly sound like one with the guitar or any instrument. I don't know if it's in the audio setup he has or in the technique or whatever but this sounds as if the guitar played itself. One in the melody and one with the rhytm and melody of the song to capture a feel like even the original lacks. I applaud your cover.

[@blue5206]

Brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful

[@GD-yw9zo]

Amazing piece of music... takes you into a different dimension. So sad, yet so intriguing & pleasurable. I’ve listened to it at least 1,000 times.

[@KillerKlous]

[@proximacentauri2684]

Captures the feeling of realising that you exist and can have a very real impact on the world. Not always a good thing, but certainly something that changes you. Or maybe he just realised he gained pleasure from destruction.

[@gordmacdonald9711]

This has echos of the first movement of Arvo Part's TeDeum . The choir in the background sounds like a brief sample. This a masterpiece and matches the transformation of Joker perfectly. He becomes the Devil but not in some cartoon but crawls into his own body because he simply accepts who he was forced to be.

[@MrHaVko1]

Good one! Do more from Joker please!

[@mmishelovka]

When I listen to this, it feels like looking from an outside point of view. The original track's distorted cello traps you within Arthur's mind and drives you mad along with him. This cover however, is much more sane and controlled. But it's not without empathy. Like someone looking back and retelling Arthur's story, long after he's gone. The only person who looked past the protests and the riots and saw how truly tragic his life was. -''Hey, remember Arthur Fleck?'' -''Who?''

Já ouvi não sei quantas vezes e não sei quantas vezes ouvirei mais. Cada nota parece ter vida própria e um desejo voraz de se alojar em qualquer buraquinho que exista no peito. Elas se alojam e crescem, alargando ainda mais o buraco. A sensação é indescritível. Não recomendo.
