Here’s a song I recently discovered that I’ve been really enjoying; cool music video too!

Rhythm: The song is in a duple meter and the downbeat is created by the snare drum. Not only does the snare drum keep the “pulse” of the song but the bass line is very easy to follow and allows the listener to follow the downbeat.

Melody: The main melody in this song, akin to many other pop songs, is in the vocals of the song as opposed to a specific instrument. The main meoldy of the verse is different from that of the chorus. Listen for yourself…the first vocal verse begins at 0:27 and the first chorus begins at 1:22. The song is in a major scale, will explain in further detail below.

 Accompanying Harmony: The bass and vocals in the verse and chorus blend wonderfully together creating consonance  In addition, the chorus has a synthesizer playing a melody that accompany the main melody of the chorus.

Instrumentation/Timbre: As previously mentioned, this song is in a majore scale due to the overall feel/mood of the song. It feels very hopeful and dreamy and this is emphasized not only by the vocal style but by the harmonies relationship between the many different instruments in the song.

Form: A very simple ABA form is heard in this song. It does not go digress into any parts that are separate to the main verse and chorus.The first part (A) ends at 1:22 and the second part (B) is from 1:22 to 1:47 (i.e. the chorus)
