MUS 1014 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Arpeggio, Second Chorus, Synthesizer
Document Summary
Promise of a spiritual awakening beneath the song. Wraps up the verse that there is something just beyond reach. Song is tapping into the woman about how there is something beyond this world. Hyper chord progression/phrase length continues in 4 measures, 5 measures, last is 7 measures then the chorus is 8 measures. The world is always handing you a little bit more. Synthesizer is the first chord in the song. Chords portray a feeling of creepiness and dread. Song is about an affair between a student and her teacher. The guitar solo in the middle of the song repeats the same line over and over, Most of the notes that the singer is singing do not match with the chords being played symbolizing the theme of obsession. Makes the listener yearn for the completion. The ending chord of a bar is not dissonant, the listener is yearning for those notes.
