sonyc 5,517 Posted June 5, 2020 Thanks Ron. This is probably one of my favourite Sting songs (and on that Blue Turtles album, they're all strong tracks...Set them free is joyous and Russians clever for example). But deconstructions like this are right up my street (as a guitarist (amateur) and more so, as a former songwriter. It helps understanding and getting underneath. I've been watching this fella who does YouTube videos of time signatures and I attach a Thom Yorke one here just for interest (I love what Yorke does with a few sparse chords). Anyway, cheers. Will be looking up Rick Beato now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,517 Posted June 6, 2020 @ron obvious I was even looking at some of Abba's work, which is far more complex than what I thought (lots of major chords with some dramatic minor chords added). I guess its the work of genius ....to make something quite complicated sound very direct and accessible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Bought the Healing album and this track wasn't on it. Had to buy a second hand cassette to get this version. Before downloading of course. Edited June 6, 2020 by keelansgrandad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be looking up Rick Beato now. Just listened to this and loved it. I find this sort of thing really interesting ( until it gets really complicated 😁). I would never have thought the time signature was 4/4 Edited June 7, 2020 by FenwayFrank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would never have thought the time signature was 4/4 Totally agree. It's amazing how he plays the chords in different places to give an imbalanced vibe about it. This is also worth a watch... showing either that 'classical' composers were the pop stars of their day (which I think they were) or a lack of imagination today (though I think art often borrows ideas so it's fine). Anyway I found it a fascinating 19 minutes ( excusing the advert!). Edited June 7, 2020 by sonyc 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,517 Posted June 8, 2020 Just the one tonight but a good one. Always loved the lyrics, dark underneath ... & how the song hinges on the drum roll after the beautiful line "and the moon rose over an open field". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,760 Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Good video makers make things you wouldn't normally be interested in, interesting. And I dig the way she says Jethro Tull.

sonyc 5,517 Posted June 9, 2020 3 very different! Almost bizarre 'protest' song And included here this one for pure pop but mainly for the video (especially like the moment when she takes off her welding helmut!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 9, 2020 Very strange Matt Monro song SonyC, The lyrics as you say were a protest song whereas the melody is a jolly little ditty. Sinatra said Matt was the real Guvnor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 9, 2020 I heard Barry Lee and the Planets sing this at the Royal Norfolk Show about 1964. Loved the song and found out who did the original and then came to know Motown. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted June 9, 2020 The Temptations were probably my favourite Motown group but this is still one of my individual performances and shows the vocal range wasn't just doobee do wah. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
