@@taskeen777 how would they have came from the video, if the video was made 2 months ago, and the comment is from 5 years ago? /nm

[@bulletsponge6920]

@Dahlan Drinkwater To further clarify on the other response given, most music is created in 4/4, meaning it's split into musical chunks with 4 beats that usually loops or continues a pattern. This however is 5/4, so there are five beats to each part. So, try this: for the beat of the song, count to 4 and see if it's off rythme.(which it will be). Then try again but to five.

Love this song cause its basically one long buildup. Extremely gradual change of emphasis and volume until the very end. Theres a saying in musicals that you talk until the emotions get so strong you break into song, and when it gets even more so you break into dance. This song reminds me of that idea because it increases until the vocals intensify, and before the singer is screaming, it breaks into a breakdown and solo. Very good song

Of course it has done justice as well. It was made bý a group of Portuguese youngs and we understand exactly the message of the music here. Portugal is rotten with corruption and social problems and the government only cares about the big companies and their friends, share holders and profit. That is why the vídeo has become amazing, because it shows a message too. (sorry if there is any error)
