Please talk about the incredible elvis feeling in the song"surrender" and how he expresses every single word meaning.he pronounces " fire"and differently "disire" the pride of "story "and "glory" the continuity of"forever" the immediacy of" tonight" and the supply of " please" twice in the song really big lesson from that big singer.long live the king.

It's not word painting, but the Ben Folds example made me think of one of my favorite examples of sneaking some dirty language in... in Lou Reed's Take a Walk on the Wild Side there is that great line "Holly came from Miami, FLA" were most people seem to take it as just the state code and miss the dig at Los Angeles.

A nice one that I like is Kate Bush's "Watching Me Without You": kzbin.info/www/bejne/kICbeKavYqqKgbM The backing vocals are mumbled and indistinct. But if you listen carefully, she's singing "you don't hear me, you don't hear what I'm saying, do you?". So, indeed, if you're not paying attention - as I didn't on the first few hearings of this song, until I stopped to truly listen - then you don't hear it and she's calling you out on that (but it, of course, plays into the theme of the song about being ignored, isolated and alienated by another person. The notion that she's a ghost in her own home). There's also a few "you can't hear me" backwards in the background. An "SOS" in morse code. There's a backwards message that I don't think anyone's worked out how to decode (because she's not saying English words - some kind of code? But all still playing into the "no communication" theme). And, at the end, her appeals to be heard are all broken up and staccato.

in Mary Poppins, during A Spoonful of Sugar, Julie Andrews says, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. The medicine go do-own, the medicine go down.” But on the first and last “downs” the melody goes up. The people who wrote this song said that they had the melody go up because Mary Poppins wasn’t “normal”, so naturally, down would be up.

Word painting is used really well in the chorus of "Into the Unknown" from Frozen 2. The song is about a character overcoming the urge to stay in safe stability and go out on an adventure. The chorus' first line jumps by a simple octave, representing safety. The second line jumps by an octave plus a step, just a little bit out of comfort before coming back to the octave. The third and final line goes all in with an octave plus three steps and ends one degree above the octave, returning to a place that is not the original safety but a triumphant note nonetheless.

@@azearaazymoto461 No… the key is the set of notes used to play a tune. If you transpose a song from D major to B♭ major, you will be playing different notes. E.g., if the first note is a D, you will now be playing B♭ instead for the first note. (Also, G and G♯ are just as much different notes that, say, E and F is. Don’t let the ♯ and ♭’s fool you into thinking they’re really the same notes…)

twigx when singing there is something know as a head voice and a chest voice depending on where the singing is coming from. I don’t know the exact difference but I know it’s significant enough that the sound will vary depending on head voice/chest voice and that if done wrong a head voice can be nasally 🙌🙌
@d0llf4ce-n3ko4 жыл бұрын
twigx okay so there is this thing called voices in singers. You have head, mixed, and chest. Those are the three basics. So a chest voice is where you engage your core and a note is fully supported. You can hear the absolute power behind it. A mixed voice is a supported note but it also starts to slowly lose power. It’s supported but it might not be as powerful. A head voice is typically used when trying to get outside of the vocal range and hit higher notes. You can hear in that song that as she sings “head” her voice gets softer and softer. My explanation isn’t completely accurate but it will give you an idea. Hope thag helped. :))

My favourite example of this is a pretty subtle one, Between the Bars by Elliott Smith. The entire song is a parallel for alcoholism, with the dark undertone that while you can rely on alcohol to help you ignore your problems and regrets it won't fix or get rid of them. This is communicated in the lyrics of the chorus, which ends "I'll keep them still". Behind that line, he plays Eb followed by Ebm, a IV-iv movement in the relative major of the song's native G minor. This is of course a common cadence used to resolve in a bittersweet manner down to I. However, both times he plays this, the cadence is cut off. The first time it goes straight back to Gm, which just sounds intentionally jarring, and the second time, the song completely ends on the iv chord. A song about alcoholism and how it won't resolve your problems, ends unresolved.

Jonathan Dintner it could be by playing the string past the top of the neck. there’s a part before the neck, by the tuning pegs, where if you play the strings, it’s very high pitched as there is a lot of tension
