Music Teacher REACTS TO Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak (Silk Sonic) "Leave The Door Open" | EP 111

I have to comment again. Nothing makes me happier than to see this dude randomly and instinctively just JUMP IN and figure out the music AS he's listening to it, IMMEDIATELY adding things that he's hearing in his own head that match SO perfectly with the song. its CRAZY. Great job man.

[@d2197v]

Omg I was like yaaas that is cool I had to play back on that

[@23b823]

There’s a good reason why people went crazy over this song; unlike most modern pop songs, this has a lot of “musicality” to it. There’s complex rhythms, a fantastic Motown-esque bassline, key changes, interesting chord progressions, textural variations, etc.

[@huesudowoodo]

so Talent? cus these guys have tons of it

[@cindeegrijalva8508]

And ooooh those harmonies!❤️

[@IanLeoTV]

But the main reason why it got so popular and got a top 10 in the charts was because they still managed to make it sound modern and relevant to today’s music even with the 70s vibes and unique chords, with the lyrics and singing style. This song was so cleverly composed and recorded, Bruno Mars knows how to make a hit while still playing with his favourite styles of music

[@vickis.9363]

Anderson Paak's live performance on Tiny Desk is one of THE BEST performances of that whole channel and his in general. Such an amazing artist.

[@frigs4715]

Tiny Desk is great. Another two of my favs are St. Paul & The Broken Bones and Tank & The Bangaas.

[@seymourglass26]

Yeah. Guy can write and perform, but he also leads a band (The Free Nationals) when almost nobody but the Roots or the Dap Kings (with Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones, both RIP) have gotten traction in this lane. It's a shame, but they're fixing the problem one song at a time.

[@bitter-cockroach]

"The groove starts in your body." So true.

[@devinstator]

Album of the Year. It’s Grammy time. But more importantly such a heartfelt, soulful piece of art. A combination of fun trolling, mad respect to the old school and flat out ridiculous musical talent all wrapped into a gift for all of us. I’m speechless. 🧡

[@vocabularymillionaire]

Paak and Bruno are leaving the door open for 70's music again. What a great talent they are!!

[@MusicShed]

Only thing I wish is that they recorded these songs without a click track. This one is at 74bpm. I could feel that something was missing and didn't feel as good as it could and lo and behold - it was definitely recorded with a click. These musicians are so stellar that they absolutely do not need a click track and the music would ebb, flow and breath more and just overall groove harder if they just went free ballin! IMHO

[@radiosurgery1802]

It makes me so sad to never see Paak get his flowers in the videos discussing this song. Thanks for highlighting his performance as well!

Excellent musical analysis. I fell in love with this song as soon as I heard it, and the love affair has only deepened since. Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars have created a modern masterpiece that borrows only the best from the past. The Something else about this song struck me - it’s a post me too movement love song. So many love songs are disempowering and downright desperate “I’ll die without you...” “Leave the Door Open” is lush, playful, and direct but leaves the ball in the woman’s court. He wants her, adores her, loves her but what he wants is secondary to what she wants and chooses.

While it's been said in other interviews that Anderson Paak's drumming was the feature in this song, I couldn't help but realize how there is ONE cymbal on the kit compared to about the average of 4-5 on the kits of most, played in contemporary music of the past 15 or so years; everything from Rock, Pop and R&B.
