Winston Yellen Night Bed Analysis

706 Words | 3 Pages

Opener “Finished” drags a little too long at six minutes; although the racket it makes is rather nice, with echoing strings and Auto-Tuned vocals, it feels strange to start the record off with its longest and least eventful song. However, Ivywild is honestly not the tasteless mess you ’d expect from an alt-country-gone-synthpop act; it’s impressively cohesive, and is consistently attractive musically. This record’s biggest problem might just be its lack of anything stunningly beautiful. Ivywild’s network of synths and samples helps to hide Yellen’s inconsistency in songwriting (for while Country Sleep has some gorgeous songs, it also has a few extremely dull ones); however, it’s missing that emotional immediacy that can only come with a guitar and a whisper, and Yellen hasn’t quite found something to replace that.

The first song is titled “Intro”. The lyrics start by saying, “Will someone please turn off my mind, My thoughts are racing all the time. There is no reason or no rhyme, Im trapped inside myself.” There is not a deep meaning to this verse specifically, but this could be talking about how his mind is always going through thoughts and he is applying that to his music.

Chungking Express

472 Words | 2 Pages

It is an example of Wong’s usage of diegetic sound, as it is primarily contained within scenes set in the bar the woman in the wig frequents, played by the bar’s jukebox. The song comes to act as almost a theme for the woman in the wig and her likely questionable lifestyle, as its first appearance coincides with the introduction of the drug dealer who she serves, along with his lover. The notion that the song is a theme for the woman in the wig’s lone storyline is further reinforced by its numerous reappearances in the film’s bar scenes. However, the song also crosses over to non-diegetic sound twice. The first occurrence serves as another foreshadowing of the later meeting between Officer 223 and the woman in the wig, with the song beginning in the bar and following the woman in the wig outside and then carrying onto play as the camera returns its focus to Officer 223.

The director aims the audience to focus on the location more than action or script. Music: The soundtrack is quite soft and chilling. As has been pointed out above, the main protagonist of this first scene is nature itself. The blow of the wind and the sound of the first steps on the fresh snow are not intended to be muted by the music. Cajun melody and lyrics related to loneliness themes are very suitable for this concrete scene.

The Raiders March Analysis

746 Words | 3 Pages

The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).

From beginning to end, I am captivated by the music. Each element brings a unique character to the overall piece. The music takes the listener on a suspenseful journey. The arrangement of the song gives me a visual of someone stumbling upon a dark forest and begins to hear the fast-approaching movement of something behind them. The pairing of several melodic phrases throughout the composition adds to the sense of chaos and turbulence.
