Reddit sub really needs to get non-audio related hobbies

 

just make AI argue with that person and walk away.

The argument against introducing an A natural in the musical piece revolves around the potential shift in modality from natural minor to either Phrygian or Locrian. Let's break down the main points of the argument:

1. Phrygian Introduction Critique:
   • The author suggests that introducing an A natural on the last note might shift the key's modality to Phrygian.
   • However, the author points out that there are no other Phrygian phrases in the entire song, making the introduction of Phrygian in the last note seem inconsistent or out of place.
2. Locrian Introduction Critique:
   • The alternative option discussed is introducing Locrian, but the author argues against it.

• The lack of stability in Locrian, due to the absence of a perfect fifth, is highlighted as a significant drawback.
• The author mentions that Locrian is rarely used, especially in the given context of the song, suggesting that it might not be a suitable choice.

1. Harmonic Support Critique:
   • The author argues that there are no other supporting harmonies to make the last chord function as a iii chord.
   • Instead, the analysis suggests that the last chord is functioning as a minor i chord in natural minor.
2. Speculation on Oversight, Laziness, or Rushed Decision:
   • The author speculates on why the potential mistake may not have been pointed out earlier.
   • Possibilities include assumptions about the professionalism of the mix engineer, laziness, or time constraints during the creative process.

In summary, the argument against introducing an A natural on the last note revolves around the potential inconsistency with the rest of the song's tonality, the unsuitability of introducing Phrygian or Locrian in that context, the lack of harmonic support for an alternative interpretation, and speculative reasons for the oversight or acceptance of the potential mistake.

 

sidenote, as it relates to discography runs:

The version of “Sadie“ that exists on Crimson on streaming is the demo. It’s perfectly fine, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the actual album version. I can’t find that anywhere on streaming, and I can only find a copy of it on YouTube on someone’s self upload.

Is there a reason they had to take that version off of streaming services? I think it’s one of the five best songs in their catalog, or at least one of the five most beautiful.

 

I was wondering about that too. It is definitely missed.

 

Better yet, I asked ChatGPT to write an Alkaline Trio song where Matt and Dan both sing “bussin’”:


(Verse 1 - Matt and Dan alternating lines)
Matt: In the shadows of the city lights, we're lost and found, we're taking flight,
Dan: Heartbeats racing, minds abuzz, chasing dreams, leaving dust,
Matt: Streets are alive with whispered tales, our secrets hidden in the gales,
Dan: Neon signs and broken glass, memories that never pass.

(Chorus - Matt and Dan singing together)
Both: Bussin' through the night, chasing stars that shine so bright,
In this concrete jungle, we'll never fade away,
Bussin' through the night, with every breath, with every sight,
In this endless motion, we'll always find our way.

(Verse 2 - Matt and Dan alternating lines)
Matt: Tattoos tell our stories bold, scars of battles fought and won,
Dan: We're the ghosts of yesterday, still searching for the sun,
Matt: Hearts like wildfire, burning bright, in the darkness, we ignite,
Dan: With every step, with every stride, we're fearless in the night.

(Chorus - Matt and Dan singing together)
Both: Bussin' through the night, chasing stars that shine so bright,
In this concrete jungle, we'll never fade away,
Bussin' through the night, with every breath, with every sight,
In this endless motion, we'll always find our way.

(Bridge - Matt and Dan harmonizing)
Matt: Through the echoes of the city's song,
Dan: We'll dance until the break of dawn,
Matt: With every beat, with every rhyme,
Dan: We'll make this moment ours, for all time.

(Chorus - Matt and Dan singing together)
Both: Bussin' through the night, chasing stars that shine so bright,
In this concrete jungle, we'll never fade away,
Bussin' through the night, with every breath, with every sight,
In this endless motion, we'll always find our way.

(Outro - Matt and Dan fading out)
Both: Bussin' through the night...

 

Laughing way too much at that.

Gonna need someone here close to the band/people around them to send that so we can get a funny youtube video out of them singing that. It'll be up there with "wrote a bridge today"

 

Are you happy with what you've done?

 

Also, granted it was like 5 years ago at this point but Demon and Division is literally a play on words about the Damen and Division intersection lol

 

Hey @bradpetrik started it!

 

I don't think I've seen anybody mention "it's time to tell you how I really feel, Cameron says it's time for a change" on Shake With Me, lol I love that he just shouts out their producer

 

I actually meant to look up the lyrics to see if he really says Cameron or not.

 

Yeah he does haha

 

Man, what I wouldn’t give for Trio to re-press GM and Crimson on 12”.

I refuse to buy those 10” monstrosities.

 

Grr. Same.

 

I never even know about the whole 10inch 2x2LP thing til I got my preorder of Senses Fail’s LINAWR and I was REAL confused for about 30 minutes lol

Why is this even a thing? When did it become a thing?

 

I bought both on ebay for about 75 each a few months back. Not ideal, but more affordable than some of the other stuff on my wishlist.

 

Makes me glad I just shelled out for 12” versions last year haha

 

That's not how you use bussin, another chatgpt fail

 

Really enjoying this. Easily my favorite since Agony & Irony.

 

The bridge in Versions of You continues to send me. This album is so so good.

 

I don’t disagree that the production isn’t my preference but fuck, Reddit users need outdoor hobbies.
