Tortured Artist by Hop on Pop
A pretty typical-sounding indie pop/rock song. Thing is, I challenged myself with this one... and came up with something that is through-composed.
There are no sections repeated anywhere in the song. (Although I do quote one lick from the middle, at the very end -- once.)
I began with the descending acoustic lick that you hear in the middle of the song, and built the rest of the tune around it.
I'm actually pretty proud of the way this one turned out and, particularly proud of the vocals at the end and the arrangement, in general.
Happy.
Featured Review
It was very tedious for a while, but then all the variations kicked in, and turned the track on it's head!
It proves that the reviewer can't fully summarise a song until it's all over! The marks were soon amended!
I liked the bass gently pounding the rhythm at the beginning of the song, root note stuff, but well in time, gently driving the song along, easy life..... Then the dramatic change. It was classy, and effective, and really made the song stand out. There was change, after change, after change, and it was very well executed by all the musicians.
The song ended with a very creative outro, and I was unable to predict the ending...
I couldn't detect a hook myself, so I'm happy to leave a thought with you all that the whole 3.03 is a hook!
Well done all of you.
