Nice video, I did some analysis myself and I'm kind of inclined to disagree but the harmony is kinda wacky and ambiguous in the first couple of bars. To my ears it sounds like the first bar is a full bar of IV, mainly because of the bass, but the melody also outlines the third with its highest note. In this case, Jerma would certainly be foolish in his note choice, as the Cb over Gb sounds really bad. HOWEVER looking at the rest of the song, the second bar sounds like Db/F which makes a nice plagal cadence with good bass movement to go into a very obvious ii-V in the 3rd bar. Then, to go back to the top of the progression, there is a CLEAR I7 secondary dominant in the fourth bar going into the IV. So maybe Jerma is still a genius, just with really shit timing. This song has some fun harmony, and secondary dominants are definitely a theme (like the second time around the progression goes IV | III7 - VImaj7 (!!!) tonicising the VI, which is really bright with the D natural in the VI chord) and is another example of Nintendo's composers making insane music for random ass games.
I knew it was only a matter of time before someone pointed out that the first bar is all IV! Figured I could make my point better fudging the harmony a bit and leaving out the subsequent measures though, and I was mostly expecting a non-musical audience, but I appreciate your analysis.
I love seeing parallels across different fields of study. I think a musicologist and a civil engineer would make great friends, since one chose the "back up" to being a composer, and the other chose the "back up" to being an aerospace engineer. I could be projecting slightly. But yes, composing is difficult, and so is physics, but damn are both of those things really cool.
I appreciate the use of Mahler's 6th, my favourite symphony ❤ Quite a good analysis, could use even more explaining about roman numeral analysis and chord functions
one of the voice channels got 'phase inverted' at some point. the left/right of your speakers or headphones move in exactly opposite directions. this makes the voice sound impossibly wide/distant as sounds don't naturally move through air in this way, it completely disorients our sense of direction.
Music theorists will come up with complex terms like "temporary modal modulation" or "creative use of polytonal reharmonization" instead of admitting the note they played was a bad one.
i watched that video of the british kid with the calypso on a private tab and this video came up in my recommended. in between like a daily dose of internet video and a try not to laugh compilation. actually insane pull
i forgot i was watching a video about jerma half-way through and just started listening with genuine interest as if i was watching an educational video
I see the scientists finally published the findings from their mind reading machine they used on jerma, I heard this is the most reoccurring thought process for him just before sleep and that it's what keeps them up at night
my god. he is a musical genius. i don't even have to watch the entire video to get it. that voice crack, a twist on the original melody, a crunchy note of you will. i am not musically trained, but for what my brain may not understand, my heart does. 10/10, jerma should replace all singers ever.
i just want you to know that the mic position makes this literally unlistenable without headphones whenever a sound effect played and it made me lose my shit laughing
This is an amazing video analysis but the volume balance makes it really hard to hear your voice and other parts of the video are very loud in comparison. Otherwise, great content!
your microphone sounds like its inside my brain
Be careful, he is one of the Jermites trying to get in your head to convince you it was NOT the worst voice crack ever.
