the tritone begging to be resolved yessss v apt. and so glorious opening up to g major. i love that i've progressed enough with my music theory now to appreciate this
i love this sooo much i love when ppl tell stories through more than just the lyrics in your songs i love clever musical choices i love songs that are crafted to be a certain way deliberately and for storytelling reasons
I hated music theory in college so I'm not a music major anymore but YOUR music theory videos somehow make just enough sense to make me cry and get chills
Bless them tritones. I always think of the Heart-Shaped Box riff-has that lovely rub. Love how you use harmony in all your songs, both musically and thinking how it suits a lyric
Love this. Also. The Devil Interval was a hot topic of conversation in fundamentalist circles when I was still going to church. There's even a book about how minor chords are potentially "evil," being farther from god than GOOD major chords. It's as silly as it sounds.
idk why but watching this with headphones on makes me feel like I'm watching a trailer to a movie! ..or maybe just like those rlly fancy ads that play before a movie in theaters but either way watch with headphones!! sounds soooo good
I _love_ music theory for it's own sake. I think a lot of people see theory as "rules you should follow", when I see it as connecting the dots, and hearing new things in music I love. This can help me to hear things in my own music, too. Breaking the rules is also 'theory', since theory isn't about rules! There are no rules, just conventions. I think you can theorize about many styles, if you take the music on it's own terms.
I've been learning piano and music theory for twelve years and have never heard of a polyrhythm! Super cool! and I love the idea of key-changing to a minor (or just a key change that goes lower rather than higher). Thanks for these behind the scenes videos, they're super helpful for inspiration as a young artist!
I love how dodie writes in major that changes it to minor in a bunch of her music. It really adds alot to the building of the song. Along with the use of tritones since they sound clashy. I used to think they just did not work till profs showed how to make them sound good. Luv dodie💛
it's weird bc i've always wanted to be a musician so i write, play instruments, produce etc. but only self-learned so i both understand what she's talking about while still learning something new lol
I'd love to hear you do something in symmertrical scale (I'm not sure about the nomeclature,but...) like C, D, E, F#, G#, A#. Such dark beauty. And if you really enjoy a challenge, please write a song in locrian scale. I only know one preceding example, which would be the bass line in Björk's "Army of Me".
I. Heard. The. Song. For. The. First. Time. Ever. A few minutes ago. And as I’m digesting what I’d just heard and thinking how insanely interesting it was I see “hot mess music theory” and I can’t be more excited.
i love having done music gcse but zoned out for most of it and having an extremely vague understanding of what shes talking about as if im listening to someone describe something i did many many years ago but dont quite remember
Currently taking a music theory class and it’s so nice to understand what in the world she’s talking about now 😂
i can only imagine
Can u pls explain what she’s saying pretty PLSSS I’m trying to get more into music theory but idk where to start
@@ladyjqueen2484 Artistic bs. Same as other bs. Just make something up.
that snapping was so impressive
The 4:5 polyrhythm was wrong though
I’d really love to hear the music theory behind some of your other songs if that’s something you’re interested in doing!!!
Yes, please make it a series!!
i am feeling like a tritone today. i hope it resolves soon.
mood
now i want an instrumental version
hot mess instrumental is needed immediately
Same here!
Same
Yes!
the tritone begging to be resolved yessss v apt. and so glorious opening up to g major. i love that i've progressed enough with my music theory now to appreciate this
i love this sooo much i love when ppl tell stories through more than just the lyrics in your songs i love clever musical choices i love songs that are crafted to be a certain way deliberately and for storytelling reasons
YESSS agreed I love doing that with my own music too, it just feels so cool and exciting
It's almost as if musicians had been doing that for millenia
@@ldgariusthey do but like, most people don’t think about that when they’re listening to music
i love artists who actually know theory and puts sneaky things into their songs
this made me realise i know nothing about music theory lol. you’re really clever and creative!!!
You're in for a big reveal then when you go further and further
I hated music theory in college so I'm not a music major anymore but YOUR music theory videos somehow make just enough sense to make me cry and get chills
Mate no wonder this song gets my ears so good. So well crafted dodie, you are a genius.
For a class, me and my friends, made a vocal arrangement for the song, we notice all of these, we loved them, and working it was a lot of fun.
you should do these for some of your other songs, it’s so cool to learn about!!
"again and again and again" - I see what you did there.
I know nothing about music theory but just your passion and excitement, the pride you have in your art is so adorable and addictive
Bless them tritones. I always think of the Heart-Shaped Box riff-has that lovely rub. Love how you use harmony in all your songs, both musically and thinking how it suits a lyric
Purple Haze from my time...
@@grahambell4310 Absolutely :)
Can we p l e a s e get an instrumental release?? 😍
I’m studying music in uni, and this makes my heart happy.
I love this woman so much
Love this behind the scenes ❤
I love that you do these it makes my heart so happy
This is like a list of all of my favourite parts of the song, haha.
I’m in my treble choir rn and it’s so promising to understand everything Dodies saying lmao
omg the way you watch Adam neely makes me so happy
I love music theory, especially when explained by dodie
Those tritones always get me soft, the hole song is beautiful
I love this format!
i loooove the tri tones
beautiful. thank you for this. the percussion sounds remind me of gojira's 'the art of dying' intro. in a great way.
pleaseee more of these vids
I don't know why but I adore this woman. She's my taste.
Please do this for more of your songs!! WOW!
Love this. Also. The Devil Interval was a hot topic of conversation in fundamentalist circles when I was still going to church. There's even a book about how minor chords are potentially "evil," being farther from god than GOOD major chords. It's as silly as it sounds.
more music theory videos pls this is so cool
Yes please more of these 💜
Thank you so much for making this video :D
I never heard about tritones but it kinda explains why I like this song so much
*Jacob Collier has entered the chat*
oh my godddd i got chills from this u are a genius
Realizing the string arrangements would sound epic as a movie soundtrack
Tru !
i want so badly for dodie to write a musical
It’s fantastic to hear this. I’m 62 and discover optimism in finding good smart young musicians on YT, TikTok & Instagram.
idk why but watching this with headphones on makes me feel like I'm watching a trailer to a movie! ..or maybe just like those rlly fancy ads that play before a movie in theaters but either way watch with headphones!! sounds soooo good

I love this! I'd love to learn more about music theory in general and in your music!!
I love how dodie writes in major that changes it to minor in a bunch of her music. It really adds alot to the building of the song. Along with the use of tritones since they sound clashy. I used to think they just did not work till profs showed how to make them sound good. Luv dodie💛
I hope this becomes a series
girl i LOVE you so much because AAAGH
This is so beautiful
lots of love from a brazilian fan
I *love* this, please do more of these
These videos make me enjoy the awesome songs even more!
it's weird bc i've always wanted to be a musician so i write, play instruments, produce etc. but only self-learned so i both understand what she's talking about while still learning something new lol
More shorts like this. Please. 🖤
it's such a cool song! one of my favorites instantly
I’m living for those clicks
I spotted something else: It is wonderful for a music illiterate to listen to.
You have always been so talented but it's so wonderful to see how far you've come
ok but i desperately want more vids like this!!! i love learning abt music theory
NICE OK will do!

It’s so lovely hearing about this sorta stuff! Thanks for sharing! :>
More dodie music theory, please!!
fantastic, your work speaks to the complexity of the human condition. pain and love. please always make music, your great at it. 🎶😊👍
your work speaks to the soul.
i love the theory and dodie's voice is so cute ❤️
Dodie quoting Adam Neely is all I needed, if you don't know, go check him out! One of the best out there !
I love her brain.
now we neeeed instrumental hot messs
Gorgeous ❤
as someone who LOVES theory, i am adoring this rn
Yeeeessss omg I LOVE analyzing music through theory. You should definitely talk about some of your other songs!!
awkwardly fun! lol disclaimer: loving this music theory breakdowns :)
These are perfect musical tools to use in scoring movies as well! (That would also be really cool to see you do one day :D)
i want to start a family with a tradition of teaching music theory to each generation of children
Love your songwriting.
I'll never be able to click in polyrythm so well 😅
I NEED MORE OF THIS
AHHHH loving this song even more!!!!
I love these so much! AH I need more :)
SOOOO COOL! Genius lady
Dodie! I loved seeing you in concert ❤!
AAA LOVE THISS
Three things why I love Dodie
1. She is Dodie
2. Dodie
3. Dodie
Now you have to do one for every single track in your new EP.
I really like your Musik because it is so different. ❤
Ready to sign up for a weekly music lesson with you!
Nice save with the Adam bit
You’re amazing 🎉
i love hearing about theory even though i know nothing about it
gosh you're mesmerising
A hot mess love it
love this, thanks!
luuuuv this
Since you asked: I’m Irish and recognized some characteristic bits from Irish music
When you snapped the first polyrhythm all I could hear was the down with the sickness intro
Remember modal interchange isn't key change.
oh my god instrumental is in need now
i love having done music gcse but zoned out for most of it and having an extremely vague understanding of what shes talking about as if im listening to someone describe something i did many many years ago but dont quite remember
Can you do this but with Lonely Bones too?
Yes!!! So here for this music theory content
Sounds like the intro to 'down with the sickness'
I dont understand any of this but i just love seeing people talk about their interests
