I really like the layered background vocals in this song (around 1:30) and the funky bass paired with the off beat egg shakers makes this song very catchy. The main vocals are balanced out really well and with all the instrumental happening in the background, at first I thought the song was a little bit crowded but after listening to it a couple times I noticed how all the instrumental and percussion compliment each other really well.
Muse – Stockholm Syndrome
Matt Bellamy really outdid himself on this one, the guitar is so freakishly good and the way his voice is so haunting and smooth it fits amazingly with this song. I really like the contrast between the tension in the rough guitar and the release with the light piano and high harmony background vocals (1:08). I highly recommend listening to this song all the way through because I truly think this is one of Muse’s best songs.
Keshi- 2 soon
This song overall has a lot of repetition. The beginning starts out with piano and guitar, and drums fall in when the lyrics come in. The drums disappears pretty soon, and that continues throughout of the song. I like the steadiness throughout the song 🙂
Learning basic piano chords in under 10 minutes!
I found that playing the piano can sometimes be super difficult if you have just started. But sometimes just learning some simple chords is a good start. These simple chords are also great to use for song writing!
Once you figure out how to play some simple chords, you would notice that it’ll get easier over time!
Just keep practicing!!
Quick Start in Music Theory!
Okay writing music is annoying sometimes and hard. I started out writing music not really understanding much about how to make songs interesting and wrote the exact same type of song for a while. Eventually it hit me that a little bit of music theory never hurt anyone. This video I think has a few key things that can be helpful when not knowing starting in theory!
And if you don’t feel like theory theory and want to just learn something a bit more digestible, learn a tiny bit of keyboard! If you can figure out middle C on a piano those little piano rolls in your DAWs will seem a little easier!
When making music on a laptop for the first time everything feels super foreign and I think videos like this one will help it make a little bit more familiar!
