Tremendous video. Should be compulsory viewing. :-) Bizarre listening to this after listening to John Coltrane. Even more bizarre to enjoy both.

A very interesting video! Thanx for sharing.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Pop music is weirdly addictive. When I was younger I really rebelled against listening to it. Now as an adult over ten years later it definitely catches me off guard, and I find myself drawn to more pop songs lately. This video was definitely a neat share. Thanks for taking the time to post it up on the forum for folks to view!


Cheers,

This is quite fascinating to dissect music from a producers' perspective. The little dissonances in betweeen the chords is a great tactic. They're definitely scientists! Thanks for sharing

When I was a kid, about middle school age, I listened to a lot of pop music. In high school, I was more interested in punk, 70's rock, and metal. I figured that as I continued to get older, I would think the pop that I used to listen to was crap. Now, as an adult, I've started listening to some pop playlists (from the era that I was in middle school) on Spotify. I actually still really enjoy the songs, and somehow remember all of the words.

I totally can agree with what he's mentioning here. He perfectly expressed himself too. It may not be for everyone but you can't deny it is an artform.
