  • Let's talk about two of my favorite Arctic Monkeys' songs: "505" and "Do I Wanna Know?" There is a lot that factors into why these songs are so good! In this video, we cover the band's use of modes and unconventional song structure.
    0:28 - 505
    4:18 - Do I Wanna Know?

    It would be very interesting if you could analyze their newer albums (Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, The Car), they seem to be unorthodox in their structure, I would love to learn about them.

  • @pizzzaeater1425
    @pizzzaeater1425 Год назад +4

    i've always interpreted the "do i wanna know" section as the chorus and the "crawling back to you" section as the post-chorus. so in my mind, it's not so much of another pre-chorus as it is the post-chorus continuing on with one final chorus coming in for the hybrid section. i don't have any sort of technical basis to support my argument, that's just how it's always felt to me, and it still makes the most sense to me this way. i'm endlessly fascinated by how subjective music really is even when you get down to technical stuff like this.

    Dm to Em is subdominant to dominant (IV to V) in a key of A minor.
    All these particular modes and stuff sounds kinda unnecessary and wrong to me. You can resolve 505 with A minor chord any time, it will sound absolutely right. Song just never happens to have a good old resolving, which is nice thing that helps the atmosphere of a song. But it doesn’t sound like some mode for me at all.

    first of all, you ROCK gurrrrrl, okay now let's cut to the chase can you or can you not make a video on their new freaking time machinery album "The Car"? or for example "Body paint" from the same album, their music creates a combination of the same chills that old school Rock n Roll like the doors "jim morrison" and Bob Dylan and many composers and song writers from the 70s, Jim morrison is pretty much hard to follow, but in my opinion Alex Turner Turned the music industry backwards where it really should be going even if you wanna add up all these major changes in music creation and production, much love darling thank you for the video

      If you were old enough and British when they came out with those first two albums, with that sound, and were part of that huge cultural impact they had (the biggest a band hand since oasis in 1994) and the way they sounded British in the music with references we all recognise and a real British working class attitude, it’s very difficult to listen to those two and then that latest album and not be completely underwhelmed by it
