#god I love music

these freaks make me SICK

[greatgavintron]

When that one motif from earlier in the game reappears in a boss fight, like their past is screaming at them:

[niinnyu]

That feeling when you're listening to a song you really like anyway and then notice a specific instrument in isolation, or "small", rather quiet elements, or layered instrumentals and vocals in the background, ahd youre able to break down some these elements into its own unit, and suddenly the you feel like the song's rhythm changes in your head allowing you to enjoy it as though you haven't heard it before and appreciate subtle bits the artist decided to add to make it sound the way it does and you go a little insane

WE GREW UP LISTENING TO THE SAME SONG ON DIFFERENT CONTINENTS. i love the uniting power of music

[bliss-in-the-void]

Ok I studied some music theory in high school right.

And we all know the song that plays during Satoru’s final moments with Suguru is called “This is Pure Love” (which is obvious enough already) but I want to talk about the theory behind the chords that cement this moment even further.

I’m specifically going to be talking about the part of the song that plays during the scene with Satoru and Suguru, which begins around 2:48 in the track.

The song itself is in A minor. Minor keys in general are used to make songs that are sad and full of angst. Chords are usually comprised of three notes that fit within the key.

The home chord of A minor is “ACE”, having A as the root, C as the third, and E as the fifth. A minor has no sharps or flats since its relative major key is C.

Interestingly, this section starts on a C major chord, which is the third chord in the key of A minor. It has a rather happy-sounding start, sort of gentle. I think this reflects Suguru’s feelings towards Satoru, since the second he sees him, he smiles despite himself.

During the moment where Satoru says his last words to Suguru (the ones we have yet to even know what he said), and Suguru smiles at him and tells him to “at least curse him”, another major C chord plays.

In the midst of a minor key song, a swelling (loud & full of instrumentation) major chord is played right during the pivotal moment. It sounds like happiness, like a resolution, like an answered question. When tension is built throughout a song in a minor key, it resolves with a major chord.

This is showing that whatever Satoru said to Suguru was like a final moment of happiness. Like in the middle of all this turmoil, depression, and death, they get to have this one final, sweet moment of clarity and relief. This happens exactly as Suguru’s eyes widen in response to Satoru’s words and smiles.

But that isn’t the last chord played. It’s the second to last chord.

The last chord played is another A minor chord.

This is to show that no, this is not a happy ending, that they’re out of time.

Because having an A minor chord to close off a song in A minor means the song has returned to the home key. There’s nothing left to say. The story is finished.

The song disappears into silence before Satoru ends it. He’s left sad, full of regret, and alone.

holy. FUCK i love radiohead

[kuipernicus]

Howl’s Moving Castle sounds like being awake in the early morning hours.

It’s snowing outside, each speck of snow swirling and dancing with the music, vanishing and reappearing in the light of the street lamps perched outside the coziness of your home from where you admire them.

The fire crackles behind you as you realize how cold your hands are, pressed up against the icy window. Removing them, you think of how warm their hand would be intertwined with yours. And there, in that moment, you realize just how hard you’ve fallen for them.

-Alejandro

HE'S GOT THE TASTE OF AN OLD MAN.

Full on banda man, loves instruments and human vocals (always makes the comment of "now this is REAL MUSIC not like today blah blah")

Think mom radio on a sunday morning, full of old romantic hits.

Song I associate with him/think he might listen to:

-obsesion (adventura) BANGER

https://open.spotify.com/track/65H6t1WQBim6q93yM8fEwn?si=LzzOE-R8R4ikqFrCGq6sbA

-Rodolfo

Definitely similar to Alejandro in regards to loving romantic old songs but I think he's a bit more modern!

Idk why but I get major sad boy vibes.

(He likes the occasional arca though the explicit-ness does make him flustered)

Songs I associate with him/think he might listen to:

- ANYTHING OFF CORTA VENAS

Jugaste y sufri (esablon armado) Alejandro approved tell no one

-no me pesa (junior h)

-Soap

Honestly the hardest on this list for me??

2000's man for sure though.

He likes the occasional rock but mostly likes smoother music.

RnB, pop

Songs I associate with him/think he might listen to:

-never fight a man with a perm (idles)

-sugar sugar (baby bash)

https://open.spotify.com/track/6Nq5lE0CeOAAAqN4qhkbZU?si=h4-LGGYBQHW0ScdmjJ411w

-Ghost

Don't think hes a big music person honestly, he's got enough going on in his head without the added noise.

The music he does listen to however is like 2000's rock (I don't care if he's british Everlong is his SONG)

Occasionally he listens to drill and or 90's rap.

Songs I associate with him/think he might listen to:

-EVERLONG (foo fighters)

https://open.spotify.com/track/5UWwZ5lm5PKu6eKsHAGxOk?si=i7RlxVHyTAO2pXxh6grR-g

https://open.spotify.com/track/7jIujRjK5JKNrMCcAvYUTN?si=13tX4CVYSee6cTUJmOz0gg

-Price

IS the old man Alejandro thinks he is.

He doesn't really feel strongly against any type of music really, throws on whatever for background music.

HOWEVER he loves stuff like Mavrin Gaye (so does Gaz and they both just spout off songs they like to eachother and take turns nodding respectively over a cigar)

Songs I associate with him/think he might listen to:

-Flyin high in a friendly sky (marvin gaye)

https://open.spotify.com/track/0ycb2zVgjpzJU6PSXZGn34?si=li5iMl0USVekQW2R3MDMFA

-Another brick in the wall (pink floyd)

-Gaz

I think he mostly likes singers, think Adele, Whitney, etc etc.

Very diverse taste! Actively looks for new music.

Out of everyone in the 141 he can bond the best with others music. (hanging with ghost? Throws on a couple of rap/drill songs. Price? Loves to talk about the oldies)

Songs I associate with him/think he might listen to:

Chasing pavements (adele)

https://open.spotify.com/track/56pHllZT7QOacB0bP56ofx?si=IhMnjwM2QXewekv0lg2rQw

Los pollos hermanos (knucks)

-Valeria

The weekend, trap music, loves powerful female singers.

On very rare occasions you can catch her late at night and she'll be looking out over Las Almas alone, listening to something that reminds her of her time in the military, something bitter and sad.

Songs I associate with her/think she might listen to:

-Catalina (Rosalia) can't help but be sad 😞

https://open.spotify.com/track/0c7XKJjw6heRqQX7PzkUIj?si=CFFs2QA5SpG270z9JENGCw

-El plug (Tony Loya)

https://open.spotify.com/track/2SileYKPcl00Vm7clj68a0?si=xAbHPJvSTOKO_5EeKj9u-A
