I'd argue that's somewhat reductive to the craft of both song lyrics and poems, and does both of them a disservice. There's a reason "poets" and "songwriters" are separate demographics- what works as the lyrics for a really catchy hit song may not work so well without music to back it up (like "Coconut" by Harry Nilsson) while many poems would be difficult to assign workable music to ("Childe Roland To The Dark Tower Came" probably couldn't work as a song). While there are many songs which could work as poems, and vice versa, and a lot of overlap between poetry and songwriting (in Bob Dylan's discography, for instance) there are also many examples of poems that would not work as songs, and vice versa. If anything, in the modern day, music and poetry have become more separated- pop music continues becoming less cerebral and more simplistic, while poetry gets ever more pretentious and inaccessible for those who want to consume it.

@@NicolasSequeira You are right that there is some loss. Transferring music to poetry does cause you to lose some of the feeling contained in the music, and transferring a poem to music does cause the audience to not have the same perspective as in a poem, and they would not be able to take as much time to digest what they are hearing. I never said it would be exactly the same. It is just music lyrics and poetry do utilize a lot of the same tools, (rhymes, rhythm, etc) to the point where there are a lot of songs would still work as poems, and a lot of poems that would still work as songs. Many of the outliers that don't work can also be reworked into a poem/song to say something similar to the original. Remove repetition and add more meat to "Coconut", and maybe it can be an interesting poem. "To The Dark Tower Came" would be a difficult one to do in comparison, but it likely can be executed well if split into parts, and given some changes in diction to provide a better flow for the right melody. Although they are still different mediums, I do think music is the way most people in the modern day consume poetry, mainly due to the fact it is so niche most people don't pay attention to poetry outside of their high school English class. Even though pop is repetitive, a lot of older music stays pretty popular, standing the test of time.

@@berrydraws0 Like I say in the video, I'm not sure how exactly poetry is consumed on a national scale- but here in Denver, there is a small group of people who take poetry extremely seriously and belittle music. I imagine it's a very specific niche, but as a musician I actually feel ostracized by the poets

@@NicolasSequeira Yeah, that situation does sound like it sucks. I have not really found my niche, or people yet either. So far, I decided to focus more on designing and writing lore for creatures, and put my animations on hiatus. My general artstyle is weird in comparison to what other people do, and I do not know how to actually collaborate with other people. Ironically, if someone were to genuinely insult my stuff, I would probably become more motivated to prove them wrong, when compared to vague positive affirmations, and lack of feedback I usually get. When it comes to nation-wide poetry consumption, according to the source I found, in the US, poetry consumption appears to be around 12%, taking a slightly upward trajectory. The odd bump upwards at the end might be due to a change in curriculum, or pandemic (the data collection ended at 2022), but who is really to say? On top of that, it could be that the poetry readers are dispersed in such a weird way, most of them are in Denver. wordsrated.com/poetry-book-sales-statistics/

That's a good one

​@@NicolasSequeira Sure is

There are too many Tim Heideckers and not enough Adam Sandlers

It goes places you would never expect

It was a blast!

(jaws theme intensifies)

Not that I'm aware of

I have seen and heard more in my 22-year life than most do in a similar amount of time, I imagine

I don't feel enough RUclips channels achieve that effect

It mostly just stays in the hallway where I film, the hallway isn't all that conducive to echoing

@@NicolasSequeira would you consider voice acting?

@@knock4banquetmeals Yes- in fact I think I'd be pretty good at it

I don't think it's particularly dirty- you can wash long hair. I guess the benefit of it is that I've had it for my entire life and it looks good, not much besides that

I'm telling you it's the day your life officially starts

I tried it, but I think my songs are much better

Peach time

These tunes are very bumpable

AI is cringe!

Yeah, I think my influence is already starting to be felt. Some people are incorporating more new wave tendencies into their stuff

True dat!

This is one of my favorite songs of all time

I'm not sure how this could serve as a gay relationship simulator considering I'm not gay

@@NicolasSequeira would you allow me to paint the scene for you and explain how?

@@knock4banquetmeals Yeah, I guess. I'd be very interested to know how

I would argue this is better, but you do you I suppose

@@NicolasSequeira where are they going without ever knowing the way,,,,,the WAY

In Denver, there are no calming ocean breezes or sweeping beach landscapes

This is the music of a face being rubbed into concrete

@@NicolasSequeira aka the best music

You can download the whole album in high-quality wav files here: nicolassequeira.bandcamp.com/album/hyperconscious-oscilloscopic-friendship Or, if you're really feeling spicy, you can buy it on tape through Nicolas Comics

My songs are best dripped onto the tongue

And so it goes

Quitting is for suckers

@@NicolasSequeira tru

Wow finally honest journalism

You will not find this sort of thing on CNN

It doesn't follow the same process, it's extracted from the chocolate river

​@@NicolasSequeira Don't tell Augustus Gloop. He would want to steal all of it. Be careful and look out for fat kids.

@berrydraws0😂

Mayo all the way

I would generally agree

Good comparison!

And or spaceman 3

I'm not sure what you're implying there, but thanks for commenting, I suppose

Yeah, that's how it is

Nobody can say I don't try

I cannot really avoid doing me

I find that it works in certain aspects, although I can't say I buy into it completely. It's much more useful than astrology or whatever

@@NicolasSequeira Not sure what you mean by 'whatever'... (numerology etc?) but what certain aspects do you think it works?

@@consumerextraordinaire8209 The passage of time means that younger people will be different from older people

@@NicolasSequeira Wow, infinity is, like, so big, man

I'm not from the 90s, I was born in 2002. 2024-2002=22. I am absolutely Gen Z, your math is flawed.

@@NicolasSequeira I've seen a number of people claiming to be GenZ but born in 97/98 which is millennials. 22 years though doesn't necessarily mean you're GenZ. GenX has 25 years and either silent generation or boomers forgot which is about 34 years of them. It's based on the average of when the previous generation started having kids up to when the average of that generation started having kids. Also if you have parents who are GenX then there's a good chance you're a millennial, GenZ are the kids of millennials which are what my little sisters kids are and my daughter who were born mid-late 2000s My sister is a couple years younger than me andI was born the final year of GenX. In some references a generation is every 30 years but most GenX only include 80 and not the following 5 years in it. As I said do some research in books.

@@desmien679 My parents are baby boomers who were born in the early 1960s and had me in their 40s. What generation your parents were doesn't determine what generation you are, all that determines what generation you are is the year you were born. Gen Z can have parents that are millennials, Gen X, or boomers, depending on when the parents chose to reproduce.

@@NicolasSequeira no it doesn't, it's the year which on average that a generation starts having kids, which means it's also not when the first people of the generation has kids but the average in men and average in women combined. Otherwise we'd have a new generation every 14-16 years.

@@desmien679 I'm not sure you have any idea what you're talking about- you seem to define generations as a successive series where each generation gives birth to the next rather than defining generations by who was born when. By your logic, since I was born to boomers, I'm actually Gen X.

It is a very interesting and surreal existence, albeit one with its own unique obstacles and circumstances

I do hear quite often that a lot of aro people avoid contact and don't like interaction, but I actually enjoyed it a lot until I realized that everyone was having sex and flirting, and being friends with me wasn't enough for anyone on its own terms. I guess maybe I became addicted to friendship without realizing it, and it's actually bad for me- I probably shouldn't view it as universally positive in the same way I don't view romance as universally positive

Romamce

Everyone seems pretty lonely and desperate in Denver for whatever reason

@@NicolasSequeira understandable

It's what I was sent here on the rainbow bridge to offer

Aesthetics can serve as a component of identity

It just started w looks but went a lot further.

I want to believe

That's what they want you to believe

It is fascinating how many aspects of life are designed to revolve around romance, the more you consider it

Yeh, I like me some Oingo. I like "Dead Man's Party" most, I would say

I don't think so, I typically make sure to film when she's asleep or out somewhere. If you did, though, I guess that's neat
