This is absolutely fascinating! I took a music theory course in high school and I love this kind of deep analysis. I also really love the editing touches and colors in this video. I'll definitely be exploring more videos from him. Thank you for posting this!

I KNEW he was going to say The Weekend. Somehow my subconciousness connected the dots.

Wow can this man get out of my head???? Iโ€™ve literally been noticing/โ€œsayingโ€this for years... but I donโ€™t have any close theory friends so Iโ€™ve just been keeping it to myself and then this guy comes along and puts literally everything Iโ€™ve been thinking so succinctly in a single video. Very good explanation also.

I even have a running list on my phone titled โ€œSongs in which Taylor Swift just sings on โ€˜reโ€™ for a whileโ€ (re is solfege for supersonic) which was inspired by her new album ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

The fact the โ€˜peakโ€™ song for this is a fucking Katy Perry song sent me ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Does anyone have any examples of songs that donโ€™t use this? Or, artists who donโ€™t rely on this as much?

Wow I'm shook. I don't know anything about music and notes so this really surprised me. It really becomes so obvious when he starts giving examples. XD

Edit: Also, all Weeknd songs sound the same like wtf??

Tell me why I started laughing as soon as he mentioned Never Really Over ๐Ÿ’€ iconic

Also, is this my problem with thinking too many Weeknd songs sound the same for me to enjoy him?
