  • Henry: Whoa- Cloud: WHOA

  • Umu: So now you're acting to the girl group Dreamcatcher

  • who are known for having nightmare-themed concepts

  • James: Night- ooo

  • Umu: For their 2019 Raid of Dream mini-album,

  • They are collaborating with the RPG

  • videogame King's Raid by depicting themes of the game like doubt,

  • confusion and twist in their music video the song itself conveys emotions

  • Like darkness loss breakdown and rage that you may feel while playing the King's Raid game.

  • The song is composed by LEEZ and Ollounder

  • Elizabeth: You ready for this?

  • Fiona: ok, three two one *click* Daniel: mmm

  • Daniel: It really fits the aesthetic, (F: Yeah) the music and like walking the castle

  • F: and it

  • Their reverb on it makes it sound like the piano's there.

  • D: Yeah, and they have like that beat that just dropped

  • Isaac: Wow seeping darkness

  • Kevin: Wow already up to iv. It's already a twist!

  • Isaac: and a change in timbre

  • James: Oh shit

  • J: Good unisons. not unisons- they were octaves, but they're in tune.

  • Henry: Oh, I liked that

  • Cloud: I liked it too, but I was more liking the aesthetic of a girl holding

  • a sword

  • Aaron: Yeah, that's synth orchestra

  • Nick: I feel like I should have expected that with the whole medieval thing that we would get like a nice Orchestra

  • But it's interesting because all the strings are

  • Synthesized or at least heavily autotuned

  • H: OH! A little Picardy third

  • Cl: on "fallen now"

  • H: Yeah, that's- interesting on that text?

  • Kev: wow it ends in iv.

  • The phrase continues because there's not really a cadence.

  • very cool

  • Elizabeth: Yeah, they have a very like cool vibe

  • I think like they can be like intense and the like climactic moments

  • but like in these sort of verse moments that like kind of what you're saying like it's reserved and like

  • It's just really cool. Owen: Yeah

  • Aaron: I Think the

  • Harmony, and melodic lines fit well together like this piano

  • Interlude stuff as we like get more about the story from the vocal line

  • Fiona: It sounded like the music did a rewind and like the plot rewinded too

  • (D: Ohhh) Like the dejavu trope was apparent in the music. (D: Mmm)

  • Cloud: Yeah, I felt like they added more instruments to the lead in that time

  • Kev: Ends on iv

  • K: ooooo

  • Nice dominant

  • James: The contrast is so good.

  • Ohhh

  • Melissa: whoa That's like Lord of the Rings. This is like everything

  • Henry: Oh oOOOOOh Cloud: Oh Whoa

  • Kev: Wait

  • They modulated a minor third up

  • And then they went back to the home key.

  • of course because of the relative major/minor relationship

  • Pretty inventive

  • Owen: There's so many secondary dominants in that last sequence, like it's

  • *sings* gettin here going here- going here

  • Owen: *ultra deep* Celloooo

  • It's not a bass, but it's a cello

  • Aron: *Sings ending* Nick: I think that's my favorite music video. You showed me

  • Umu: It was- yeah! how did you feel the music supported what's going on in this story?

  • Nick: Well, you definitely have kind of that like light side with the orchestral and then the dark side

  • it's like what evil demons that are gonna fight all the

  • Good guys I don't actually know- Aron: All they needed to do but throw in some screamo

  • Nick: I Think it would have been... Aron: It would've fit! Nick: Been good in this song

  • Nick: Which is kind of crazy if you hear the introduction to this song, I would never expect it but after hearing this

  • Especially in the bridge they could have used that in the bridge

  • Daniel: The intro or like the first at least like 30 seconds to a minute

  • Had that same like piano

  • Voice duo and so I was kind of expecting something a little bit more like melodically or harmonically or rhythmically complex

  • From the start because we've been listening to this kind of music.

  • Fiona: But I kind of liked that

  • Kpop has a lot of saturation with the themes and it's very generous with like all the fun ideas and stuff

  • I think it was okay to have just kind of an aesthetic layout of what was happening

  • Daniel: Yeah

  • There was this one part where Fiona mentioned that it sounded like choral music and in some ways it did but to me

  • because of the balance of the melodic lines and also the harmony it sounded really like homophonous and

  • and it sounded like there were a lot of parallel fits or like perfect fifths going on and

  • It fits with the theme in that you see like they're in a church or like some kind of Cathedral... They're-

  • Doing they're having all these like crazy

  • swords stuff

  • But it reminded me of the music that we studied in the church like Gregorian chants were like where a lot of perfect fifths were

  • kind of seen as holy and used like almost for everything

  • Kevin: in the first and second chorus, there was this Picardy third and it

  • To me. I was like, oh they're just singing da da da da da da and then the last time they go picardy

  • I'm like, huh? I wonder if there's any method behind this, you know this rather simplistic

  • thing and then in the final chorus it modulates up and then because we're now in

  • a-flat minor the pickety third is now a flat major which

  • Enables the song to go back to the home key

  • So the f major before was foreshadowing that moment the entire time, which is pretty solid

  • compositional

  • Technique I felt like the melodic lines in the verse. Were a little- they kind of just drifted around a bit

  • There wasn't as much direction like the harmonies know their the chords actually changed quite a bit

  • There was no solid sequence. That was too repetitive

  • but the melody the melodic line doesn't have that type of drive that I

  • Like in certain quieter sections like once the chorus hits like yes

  • I'm with this but during the verses it got a little lost for me

  • James: The contrast is perfect and they kept like capitalizing on that over and over again

  • Intimate voices, piano, that's it. And then

  • James: DUNDUNDUNDUNDUN

  • Just like the difference we've seen that like really lit rock section and then just like the really tone down

  • innocent sounding

  • like breathy high

  • Parts, I thought it was really really cool. And I just thought it was like a good song overall

  • Umu: So now you are reacting to a bside release from

  • The Raid of Dreams album called Silent Night

  • Fancier writes that Silent Night falls into the twist theme of King's Raid. The lyrics say a blade pointed at someone eventually returns

  • I don't want to see your blood and it expresses a hope to break free from the cycle of violence

  • The song is once again composed by LEEZ and Ollounder.

  • Kevin: well *speaks the Christmas carol* round yon virgin's mother and child. Let's listen to this!

  • Elizabeth: Whoa

  • Kind of feels like it's a triple meter, you know, like compound meter. One, two, three, one, two, three one two, three, but I assume

  • Yeah, and then it comes in, in 4/4

  • H: I Thought it was like descending triples de do du de do du but it's not Cl: it's not

  • H: It's kind of like syncopated Cl: yeah

  • Cl: you can say it's more of a duple feel H: Hey that's a

  • H: Yeah, that's a cool choice

  • Kev: This has like as an industrial vibe like the Iron Man 1 soundtrack

  • when Iron Man's walking with the explosion behind

  • Jame: I love that that keyboard like synth sound. Melissa: Yes. I love that

  • El: oh, that's a low voice. Holy crap. Owen: I know

  • O: and this is a girl group so El: OOOOOO wait

  • Daniel: Oh my god, this makes me like

  • Fiona: now it's like- Daniel: I wanna move my butt

  • I just wanna like Twerk it or something man this is a feel! Umu and Fiona: *dying of laughter*

  • J: Whoa Mel: I love the like-

  • J: Yeah, I just got chills Mel: it's like staccato

  • which is unusual J: whoa

  • Aron: yoooo so dope

  • Melissa: Her voice... J: it's low. Mel: Yeah

  • But like it's more than that it's like it's like cool it's got like swag, I don't know

  • H: I like that

  • Contrasted to each other with like the really low voice for the rapping and then right into head voice singing

  • El: Yeah, even like the vocal line in the pre-chorus here it's like syncopated it's not on the beat

  • Mel: That vocal countermelody

  • J: Who's Doing that high shit in the background Mel: Yeah the like

  • J: who's doing it? Mel: descant or whatever. You heard.

  • J: That's so good

  • Fiona: And it's back it's combining the twerk theme and the 88 theme!

  • D: yeah

  • Cl: It's like surprisingly quiet, you know like you drop and like... it's like going but it's like really like

  • Really really in there, you know

  • J: off beats

  • What's happening?

  • El: Ooo None of those piano chords were on a downbeat

  • Owen: no except for the very last moment. I think

  • Owen and Cl: *surprised yells*

  • Henry: Hello

  • this is like

  • It's not like- I'm just gonna listen for a second

  • *Claudia might cry this isn't a drill*

  • Nick: I don't know why Aron: this is such a transition like from

  • where we were this is like we're completely different water right now

  • Nick: feels like arpeggiated chords, there's something

  • Both medieval and like video game music about it

  • Owen: No keep going!!!

  • El: That's so strange. It ended there. I don't think the like actual subdivision is any faster

  • I just think the grouping of the notes makes it feel faster.

  • Owen: I s- do you think so?

  • I wonder how the last bit was related rhythmically to the to the

  • Previous bit was it just like separateness goes from where it was to immediately just like dada.

  • El: wait okay All right. Hold on 1 2 3 4

  • 1 2 3 4

  • See the piano is like not on the downbeat. So they're like using this whole like post chorus section to confuse us

  • Owen: I think that's that's definitely speeding up

  • El: It's like Owen: I just don't know

  • El: I think It's just a completely different tempo, (O: yeah)

  • I think this is compound meter just in a completely different tempo

  • I don't know what the metric modulation to get there is and I'm not sure if it's like exact. (O: Yeah)

  • Owen: Who knows? (El: It's cool though.) Yeah

  • Daniel: AYyyy that was so good F: Nice ending!

  • F: I like that ending D: Sooo good F: Silent Night starts now!

  • D: Wut?

  • F: of the Silence

  • F: I liked how there were three intense

  • beat feels of the rhythm and

  • Fiona: *aggressive beat mimicking*

  • F: and the *even more beat mimicking*

  • D: Yeah, I thought so too because there's that metric irregularity which is like one two three one two three

  • one two- one, two, three, one, two, three, one two

  • and then there was like the establishing du du du that was on every like it's like a simple kind of

  • Simple as in like a duple meter

  • Organization and then at the end you pointed this out which was the metric acceleration and it just goes faster and faster

  • Right and that reminded me of do you remember recite this music theory? Should we be studied that with a Clipping video?

  • J: *mimicking counting that I could never do-*

  • and you're like OOOOO

  • Cl: That was stanky

  • H: This is nothing to do with the music but it kind of does.

  • there are different moments where I need different kinds of music

  • Yes, sometimes I want to hear

  • Flows fighting dreamers or go rather but it's yes the Naruto intro because I need the hype to get me to like

  • Really get through a tough spot and running right, but there's other times where I just need a nice driving beat

  • But also something sort of calming to remind me that I need to focus on my breathing and focus on my form

  • Those are equally as important and I think this one fits that ladder you need is like oh, you know what?

  • I need that driving beat, but this is making me like it's very in words

  • It's very very in words, and then there's that last bit where after you've rested for like two solid minutes

  • There's some hype at the end so we can go hard Cl: *mimicking hype*

  • J: the synth noises using the like vocal lick

  • Melismas like in the background. Like that's the way I wish more people would use like vocoders

  • sampling like intentionally like changing the human lights because you know

  • Sometimes you'll hear like vocoders over a voice or like MIDI sounds or whatnot, you know

  • Like oh that sounds cheesy sounds fake or whatever

  • But this was like it fit the style perfectly and the even before that like raves section happened

  • I was thinking like this is rave music

  • I just I thought it was really cool and they're all so talented you can tell because they

  • understand like each member's strengths and they showcase it like the lower voices have their moments higher voices have their moments some

  • Trifling ass hoe was doing crazy shirt in the background like wut I came

  • Yeah

  • Like it's like it's like crazy stuff. It was really good.

  • Umu: Right. Do you guys like Silent Night or Deja Vu better?

  • Aron: Deja vu because...

  • A: I Feel it was more cohesive as a song like all the sections

  • N: they stretch way further in my opinion

  • N: But but that shape it's cohesive A: god I'm so conflicted

  • N: it's just wide in terms of and the stuff that

  • A: yeah! Because we started out like that fantasy

  • Type sound with the piano and then but we kind of like went to like a stark contrast

  • of that like heavy metal type sound

  • N: sorry Silent Night is kind of like a

  • If you took a bunch of instruments from techno

  • Like euro type things and then you put them in a pop song and then you had singing and other stuff over it

  • That's Silent Night. The other one is just everything all together

  • A: Well, I was gonna say I think that the translations are a lot better in

  • Deja Vu

  • *Singing Code Geass OP*

Henry: Whoa- Cloud: WHOA
