SP REVIEWS BAND-MAID - Forbidden tale (Song Review)

[@spiderhandspnz]

Sup Shredders! Thanks for checking out this review - what song should we listen to next? Btw - I want to apologize for the mic audio. I've realized just now that there's occasional glitching, due to noise processing, and I've adjusted that now so that it's less noticeable. It should be all fixed up for the next video :D

@@spiderhandspnz "Don't you Tell Me" live from Yokohama please, Mr Spiderhands. You never played it on your BAND-MAID request live stream. 😔

​@@MnPofBM Has it been that long already?😲

[@dazedandconfused318]

Sorry for the length but here's Kanami and Saiki talking about the song:- KANAMI: Yes. Actually, SAIKI had been telling me for a while that she wanted a song with a lot of development. And when I was making this song, I happened to have experienced the death of someone close to me, so I was thinking about things like "What is life?" and "What does it mean to live?" So I thought I'd like to try to express things like "What is a person's life?" and "Life has ups and downs" through music. Even though there are ups and downs and many changes, there should be a core that never changes, so I expressed that in the riff... I'm kind of embarrassed to say this myself SAIKI: This is a song that I thought was very wonderful from the first time I heard it. I got a lot of images when I listened to it. This is exactly the kind of song I wanted. ──The lyrics of this song were written by SAIKI. It seems a little different from "life has ups and downs," but it seems to express a view of life. What did you want to express here? SAIKI: Every day, I realize the greatness of music, and while I was researching the history of music, I learned that there were songs that were forbidden to be sung long ago, and stories that were forbidden to be told. But now, with modern technology, we have the chance to restore them and listen to them, and the reality is that we can now read stories that were once forbidden. That made me realize that art is something that never disappears, and I thought that this in itself is very romantic and beautiful. When I thought about what would happen if I expressed life in music, while asking the question "What is life?" that KANAMI asked, I thought that "living" means "we are here now." I wrote this song with the hope that even if our bodies were to disappear, someone might someday pass on this music. I thought it would be nice if our music would remain in the future. I thought it would be wonderful if people in the future who would never know BAND-MAID would find out about us through this song, and if our music could give someone a push. I've experienced something like that myself. There are many musicians who were no longer in this world when I started to like music, right? But their music gave me courage, taught me the greatness of music, and gave me a push, so I wrote these lyrics hoping that I could do that someday

Hey thanks so much for sharing 👍🍻

Excellent and deep analysis. The song sounds to me like a rhapsody, seven themes developed in four and a half minutes. Thank you!, very interesting points to think about.

[@spiderhandspnz]

I agree!

[@philipcable437]

When Kanami was writing this song she had lost a close relative (I believe it was her grandmother). It is a song built on the meaning of our lives and what that means to the individual members of the band. Realising the music will be their legacy, their love for the Masters and Princesses and each other.

"Forbidden Tale" has more transitions than the HULK & is every bit a beast of a song :)

Welcome back, Spiderhands. Always impressed with your analysis. Band-Maid puts a lot of work into their composition, and it rewards careful listening, and it’s always great to see someone like you have the ear to appreciate it. And it’s a wonderful gift to communicate clearly about it for people so people without your background can appreciate their work more. Thank you.
