I've listened to this before.
[Music]
Wish I had a juicy pad that I could
throw on really quickly, but all I have
is these strings.
Okay. So, I'm hearing.
[Music]
This is the power of common tones. And
it's something that happens very, I
think, organically when you're writing
music. You don't need to be knowing what
chords you're playing. It just sort of
happens. You play a chord shape like
this.
And then if you just move one finger one
way or the other, you get a new chord
like this or this.
While the other ones just stay the same.
So it's such a I think this probably
also goes for guitar playing too, I
would imagine, but I don't know. So we
get this. This is a an uh A flat major
chord. It's the flat six chord. It's
just voiced like this.
And then all he had to do is change his
thumb. Let's just say that it's his left
hand. I don't know. Down to the note.
Blow it. G. And you get And now it's a
minor chord
in the back.
And then it goes up to the seventh,
which sounds very hollow. Yeah.
[Music]
And also when you do it this way, you
kind of inadvertently create melodies
with the note that's changing because
against the notes that aren't changing,
they the ones that change stick out. So
they start to sound um very melodic. So
da da da da da da
and it's just I don't know flat 6 is the
best. So that's the thing why it sounds
so intense dark
[Music]
and that low piano going on the C.
It's nice.
[Music]
And I love how that drops.
[Music]
Not here where it begins, but here in
the middle. Oh, m.
Okay.
[Music]
Okay.
In true film score, passion fashion
fashion
um changing key a lot taking you on a
journey through that. So, let me back
up.
Okay. So, it goes um
[Music]
sorry. And then
and then you get to a major chord. It
used to be a minor one, but now it's
major.
And then it changes key.
[Music]
Okay. So, okay.
[Music]
I think that's what it does. That's
Yeah. So, we're doing a key change. Uh,
in the key of C minor or C major,
there's no E major chord. So, this is a
pivot point. Um, new notes are being
introduced by this E major chord we
haven't heard yet, like this one. So,
things are changing. And then it keeps
going up
[Music]
major.
[Music]
stays there.
[Music]
Okay. All right. So, this is so exciting
feeling, right? Cuz it just suddenly
blossoms.
Sorry, that's not the right one. It's
that one. E, right? E. E. E. E. Okay.
So, okay.
Oh, sorry.
And this chord that it's kind of
creating like this has a Lydian sound
which is very curious and uplifting and
bright and floaty and disconnected and
tender and then
and then it goes ta
Then it goes to F minor,
which is also completely unrelated to
the E major chord.
Oh, okay. So after this one,
then it goes to
and lands on a ninth, which is so
heart-wrenching because it's all
dissonant and reaching. It sort of
pushes past the octave.
So sad. I love nines so much.
And then there's a repetition of that
theme of the da from like here. Um
see patterns
two
and then back to C major. Woo, that was
tricky.
All right. So,
sorry.
[Music]
and it goes up
and then it lands on the third which is
what makes the chord major or minor. So
it's very like powerful and it gets up
here.
[Music]
Okay. more traditional harmony.
E A minor.
F major
[Music]
stays there.
[Music]
You might notice there's also a lot of
um ascending up the scale melodies and
then coming down the scale melody. So
that's like a a pattern as well that
these patterns although they may see
seem simple um we attach to them, we
follow them. They make it exciting to
hear themes changing because we know
what they used to be uh intuitively. You
know, we're probably not thinking about
it all the time like, oh, this thing's
ascending and this other thing is
descending. Like not really, but um we
feel it. I feel it that there's a
familiarity and a continuity.
That's so pretty. Yeah. And then I think
it like starts over at the pads here,
right? So, I'll stop there. But yeah,
cool. Love was exciting.
