  • @hoehoebah

    Awesome analysis. Just one tiny inaccuracy. During the at the beginning of the B section (ex. 5:40), where your chords go “C, Bm, Am, G” that Bm should actually be a G/B (“G over B,” or a G chord but with a B note in the bass) The F# note in your Bm chord should be G. If you listen to that bit in the original song, you’ll see what I mean. It’s a subtle difference, but the G/B keeps the tonality feeling major and resolved, while providing that nice C, B, A, G descending bassline that grounds that section together. Everything else was absolutely spot on though! Never even noticed the double 16th note kicks when the drums come in, but sure enough, they’re there in the original. Also apparently my Yamaha keyboard has this exact sound. Lol who knew. Thanks for your awesome work, dude. Keep it up!

    So about the Dire Dire Docks sample, it actually seems as if it’s two patches mixed together from two separate 90s pieces of hardware. I know that it actually uses an E. Piano from the Roland Sound Canvas and some other piece of hardware that we don’t know yet. I also believe that the strings are from an old Roland CD we’ve been looking for but yet have not found.

    So I keep seeing people saying it's the original sample was from a JD 990. And although it very well could be, bare in mind that a lot of it's presets originally came from the JD-800 released in 1991. Meaning that it very well could be sampled from either. The JD-800's "crystal rhodes" preset was very popular during the 90s and if you listen to demos of people playing it, it sounds almost identical to the dire, dire docks piano minus the compression and bit crushing obviously to save on file size.

    I feel like that 2nd note of the 2nd chord in the C section is wrong. In the "Bass Line"

    Patrick Kossila it is wrong. It should be a first inversion of the I chord. He saw that the bass note was “b” and assumed it was the iii chord.

    yeah, it's meant to be a g/b chord and he went for a b minor chord, hence why the f# note feels so out of place

    Patrick Kossila 5:41 instead of E,G,B it’s B,G,B

    3:05 - i love the contrast between the 'normal' video and this 'low-quality' joke part xD

    Nice video! The explanation of the whole origin of the sample and the sound was very interesting! I know it's a pretty old video, but I wanted to correct a wrong chord: 11:11 the 2nd chord of the progression isn't a B minor, the notes there are actually (from the bottom) B, D, B, which is most likely a G major chord in the first inversion (and without the root), it also fits much better if you try playing it, the B minor there feels a bit weird 😅 even though when played it back together it sounded great! But yeah, little mistake, but the rest was good!
