Love your videos especially when you analyse different songs. I was thinking it would be really cool if you analysed something like L’Isle Joyeuse by Debussy, which has some really interesting harmonies and i think would be really interesting for you as a jazz pianist to look at...

This song is the perfect example of how major keys don't always mean happy. The root chord is G major, and yet, especially in the context of the movie, this song sounds really sad. It just goes to show how much well written harmony does for a song.

Part of what makes it sound sad are the chords that come from minor though (for example the Cm, Dm, F, and Eb chords are from G minor), but I agree that it's not that simple.

Charles, you should check out some of Aivi and Surasshu's less popular works on the show, mostly instrumental and no lyrics. They have this lovely electronic chiptune + piano jazzy sound, and their work is often overshadowed by the more popular SU songs. - rose's fountain / the hill - alone together - dance of swords - I'm still here - the waterfall - amalgam - pearl's theme - opal theme some of their amazing work.

There were a few years where pretty much all I listened was their SoundCloud page. I got really sad when the actual soundtrack albums released, because all of their SoundCloud posts got took down, yet not all of them were actually on the soundtrack! So now there’s only bootlegs of cool tracks like “Drop the Cherry“, and other short ones, which people happened to record before the posts were taken down. Plus they never even released a raw version of the super catchy ringtone they made for Steven with the lovely counterpoint. People’s recreations never got all the same layers of harmony as the original in that case.

As with VGM, much of 'cartoon' music is overlooked but when you think about it Charlie Brown/Vince Guaraldi is absolutely iconic and bands like The Consouls (their keys guy contributed to music for the Steven Universe movie) and 8-Bit Big Band creatively tap into tunes which are collectively nostalgic. Phineas & Ferb music is also worth a look - both for the music and the lyrics.

Phineas and Ferb’s music team doesn’t get enough attention. Not necessarily because of the special qualities of any specific song (though there are some bangers), but the sheer variety of style within the show proper, while keeping a pretty consistent level of quality. It’s downright impressive.

My top picks from Steven Universe would be Happily Ever After, Being Human, Escapism, and Change Your Mind. There's something about the first one that always makes me smile, with one of my favourite key changes in any song at the end. The others are more serene and solemn, but have something that I always just want to keep listening to. And Change Your Mind might be short, but there's a simplicity that is just beautiful.

Less of a theory thing, more about production, but I love how, no matter how big and unwieldy the plot gets, most of the songs are produced in such a way that they feel “small.” Part of it is due to the fairly minimalist production, and some is also due to Sugar’s lyrics and willingness to have short lines that punctuate the music rather than the opposite. No matter how fancy and wild the progressions get, the songs always feel personal and intimate.

She was pinks “best friend” but she got left abandoned (suspended) by herself in isolation and it made her depressed and traumatized while pink moved on and kept progressing. And the walk down would be her slowly realizing over time that pink isn’t coming back.

Would love an analysis of some of the soundtrack from Ori and the Will of the Wisps or Ori and the Blind Forest. The music is really well written and matches the tone of the story perfectly, especially with the callback to the beginning of the first game in the closing piece of the second. Brings tears to my eyes every time.

PLEASE do more Steven Universe videos. I’ve seen others suggest it already, but many of the instrumentals and themes for the characters are equally if not more beautiful. I’d love to hear your take on them.

Coming back to this one and I think it's funny how this is like, one of his only videos where he breaks out of music nerd mode at 11:01 to be like "wait this song is actually like really sad, wait-"

I rewatched the Steven Universe Movie last night for the first time since my last relationship ended, the relationship that actually introduced me to Steven Universe. In retrospect, I realize now how much I relate to Spinel, between her chronic people pleaser mentality and her codependency on Pink Diamond, both things I was guilty of doing. It's great to know that I love this song not just because I relate to it so much lyrically, but because its composition is so fervent and thoughtful. Great video as always!

Glad you decided to revisit the show, I hope this means you might also take another look at things like Undertale, Hollow Knight, and Spirited Away! Minecraft got a new composer with Lena Raine, maybe look at the new music?

The Consouls do great covers of vgm from those games and their keys guy was a contributor to the soundtrack of the SU movie. He also worked with Leina Burton (whom I thought you might have been referring to when you metioned Lena Raine) on the Kana Quest OST

Rebecca Sugar's big claim of fame is taking chord progressions from one genre and putting it in another. Drift Away is Jazz, only ballady. There's even intentional call and response put in despite this not being a duet. The music is playing Pink Diamond, with Spinel riffing off the tune, as though improvising off it.
