Hi, just find out your chanel, its great and the new perspective is refreshing for a metalhead like me. Could you react to the Spanish group Mago de Oz with their song La Cantata del Diablo? I would love to see how you find it. The live versions like Barakaldo DF and Diabulus in Opera Cdmx are great choices, but maybe it would be better to react to the studio version for a first listening. Thanks for your videos!
I found your channel a couple days ago and I'm almost through all the analysis videos. When I watched your video on Nightwish, my thought was they should have suggested The Dance of Eternity by Dream Theater instead. It's nothing like Mozart, but more like...
...maybe I shouldn't make the same mistake and build expectations. It's a very unique and interesting piece anyway...
Are you aware that Ian Gillian played Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar? All the songs he sang are incredible, his vocals are amazing!
I can't wait till you discover the 90's!!!(Metalica isn't my cup of tea, and I highly doubt they were yours)
I think the three bands listed below(at least to me, opinions vary)were the greatest/most influential of the 90's...
What would you guys say are your top 3?
(let's be civil in the comments folks, we can discuss and not hate, I know this is a passionate topic😋)
Soundgarden
Alice in Chains
TOOL
My PERSONAL top 3 from the 90's are:
Blind Melon
Radiohead
Jane's Addiction
@@flyercow Ooh trying to go for the big epics already? 🤘🤘
If you like Ian's singing, he also sang Jesus on the 1969 recording of Jesus Christ Superstar, where also gets to bring out all his talents. it is an all around great Rock Opera
I just watched the reaction and I noticed some Andrew L Webber phrasing similarity at one point myself. Throw in those high notes and it took me right back to JCSS. Ted Neely notes were on point.
As a bass player, I think Roger Glover did a fabulous job sitting back in the pocket, providing the foundation without overshadowing. You have that little riff going, but there is a lot of space between instances of the riff which Roger ties together. Just a masterful job
That's down to Glover being a superb bassist. He and Neil Murray are my favourites.
Glover is fantastic, it's a criminal how Blackmore treated him.
Yes, he did a fabulous job
"We don't need to be too territorial in art" :) I love this in-depth analysis videos. Thank you so much.
Loved the mention of Ian Paice's drumming. He's my favorite drummer, with all due respect to Peart, Bonham, Bruford, Ward, Moon, and countless other great ones in rock. He's got great feel and touch and always seems to know how to best serve a song.
You might really like Blackmore's Night, the band Ritchie has had more recently with his wife/singer and others. They play medieval festival type gatherings and play a bardic style of music that mostly predates the baroque period. I like practically everything Ritchie has done, and this incarnation is a nice change of pace from rock, another variety of music to listen to and get ideas from.
I enjoy how you break down the musical theory aspect without losing appreciation for the emotional power and creative intangibles. You can see the forest for the trees
Great reaction!
The song "April" by early Deep Purple features an original composition for choir and string quartet, written and arranged by Lord. The classical influences are prominent in their compositions and evolving them into hard rock and proto heavy metal was an amazing mixture.
I'm really happy you understand the intensity of Ian's vocals on this song. The album recording definitely didn't have the intensity of his live performances, but even the album version is extremely difficult to sing well. There's so much dynamic range, so many different emotions, so much control required. Not to mention just how high his screams are. Many male singers can't even hit those notes, let alone hit them well.
Absolutely!! It's tragic that the great live performances aren't the first experience, the cooler analysis with studio version and a score makes more sense.
Some surprises won't have impact without sight
We all knew you would love it, as you recognizes great musicians working together to make great music that last the test of time.
Oh, PLEASE Amy, so that comparison of Stairway to Child in Time! All of us classic rock folk here would be SO up for that!!! It’s never been done before!
I was always a big fan of Jon Lord (John Douglas Lord).
Outside of "Deep Purple", Jon was also known in both Jazz & Classical music circle.
Jon was also into JS Bach, & also into Edward Elgar, & also Black North American "Blues" Music.
What I have always noticed about the end of the song, both in the studio and live performances, is that not only does everything speed up, but everything starts to come apart (in a good way). Having a lot of chaos and dissonance in the instruments. To me it helps symbolize where all this cold war craziness was leading.
Most informative analysis, It's A Beautiful Day was in every Hippy's record collection back in the early '70's.
What makes her story ironic about the origins of this song, "Bombay Calling" and "Child in Time" is that a third design that guitarist Ritchie Blackmore would later use with Blackmore's Night for an instrumental song called "Mond Tanz", which was the song I originally first heard. The melodies are the same for all three songs.
It's wonderful to see someone else recognizing Blackmore's Night, I've seen them a few times, I think Amy would love so many of their songs.
Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore often wore a Top Hat in those days and he had mounted a small radio in it. It's through that portable hat radio he heard a part of "Bombay Calling" by It's a Beautiful Day and the eerie melody stuck with him and parts of that melody were used for the organ intro to "Child In Time".
I’m glad that you finally got to hear a rock song with organ. My favorite style of rock is when it has the organ swirling around everything like cosmic smoke. And other instruments, like the flute and even theremin, are welcome, too :)
Wonderful break down and explanation of this piece. 👏
Can I suggest "Close to the Edge " performed by a band call "Yes".
Yes!! That and maybe some firth of fifth, by Genesis.
Great suggestion
@@tobepps This too👍
When Deep Purple were developing this song, another band, Uriah Heep were in another studio. Deep Purple had to break off recording the album to work on Jon Lord’s Concerto for Group and Orchestra. Uriah Heep’s organist, Ken Hensley, wrote July Morning using the same structure as Child in Time
I saw DP in 1972. So good that it was a spiritual experience
I love the way you dive into each piece, the way you commit to understanding and enjoying it. It’s fun to hear the elements on a harp also. Well done!
I watched the first reaction video and gave it a like and saw this was the analysis, so jumped over here to check it out. A lot of "analysis" videos tend to be somewhat boring, but this one blew me away. It is educational and perfect in every way. I like the way you broke everything down and gave the history. By the end of this one I gave it a like and subscribed. Thank you so much for this!
King Solomon said it best, and it applies to everything, including music: "There is nothing new under the sun". The i, bVII, VI progression is probably the most prominent progression in rock/metal music. But, it still rocks, and is used very well in both "Child In Time" and in "Stairway to Heaven". :)
Love your analysis of a 2 or 3 phased climatic wave in this song that pushes us beyond our expectations - supra-experiential moment for me 🤓
Congrats for 35K! To me the reason they have to have that second climax is to emphasize how powerless we are against the politics of war.
Ah the times when reimagining a song meant creating something new. Unlike last couple of decades "remixes".
An extreme example of this would be All along the watchtower by Jimi Hendrix. It's so much more than the original.
And going the other way……Hurt by Nine Inch Nails and then covered by Johnny Cash.
I've been watching this channel from the very first video when it started in July or August, and wouldn't have predicted it would’ve turned out so exceptionally good. That one, is possibly the best musical analysis I've seen on CZcams. She's also a good writer, putting complex ideas down eloquently.
Being a dyed in the 🦙 Deep Purple 🟣 fan... and a guitarist/musical history buff, it is exciting to see an accomplished classical musician such as yourself in to discover these events and information... very rewarding watching/subbing to your channel. Keep up the musical adventures! Cheers from Louisville, Kentucky.
That was wonderful. I would have never expected to find so much in Deep Purple and your enthusiasm for them is delightful.
I would love if you examined "Solsbury HIll" by Peter Gabriel. There's a lot to discuss in the lyrics and musical composition, why it was written and how it's changed in live performances over the past forty years. I think you would enjoy the research a lot. I think you would become a huge Peter Gabriel fan.
Especially as Solsbury Hill is written in the unusual 7/4 time signature.
Analysis like this why I love your channel. No one else does what you do. I've learned so much in such a short time from your reviews. Keep up the great work and do yourself a favor, just for listening fun, listen to Deep Purple's "Hush" with the volume turned all the way up. You won't be sorry.
I'm new to her channel & I think she's amazing.... I'm already hooked LOL.... I love to listen to her break down the songs....
Wow you are getting much better at this. Your explanation of the two climaxes is incredibly eloquent and you were never at loss for words or imagery unlike in your earlier videos. Is this due to the inspiring effect of a well written and performed song or have you learnt to prepare your comments beforehand.
Its been mentioned before, but the 'riff' was composed by jazzman Vince Wallace in the early 1960's, I believe. Vince has a co-credit on Bombay Calling on the Its a Beautiful Day album (1969).
Excellent analysis. So many great insights, delivered with genuine enthusiasm, makes for a impactful and enjoyable experience to watch. I really loved seeing you get so excited in describing your experience. I for one would love to see you do a side by side comparison of Stairway to Heaven and Child in Time. I think such a video would do very well on your channel, and would truly be a unique approach in the CZcams music Analysis community.
I didn't expect a rock song to make your playlist so soon but you have made an excellent choice! Wonderful analysis.
Isn’t the whole premise of her channel to be exploring rock music?
@@langdalepaul I think he meant her personal playlist, not the channel. One thing is exploring, another to actually enjoy it enough to listen to it outside the framework of this experiment
@@TheAnalyst79 OK, my mistake.
All musicians borrow songs and music and put their own spin on it.
Johny Cash took I hurt myself to a whole other level. Too many to mention.
However in the more disciplined forms played in concert halls etc.
You have the piece in front of you that’s a masterpiece already, and it’s probably sacrilege to improvise.
Not that I’m any expert on the classics. But I have influences, particularly the Harpsichord music. Love the grand sound that comes out.
I try to improvise on guitar that sound. In a more Rock Form.
All music goes back to those classical roots.
After listening further, I take it back. You obviously are working to take music to new levels.
Love your channel and teaching.
Its great to hear an analysis from a person with an extensive musical background such as yourself. Thank you
I don't think any rock band had a greater understanding of dynamics than Deep Purple, particularly in a live setting, where large parts of the music were improvised. It's interesting that you pick up on the role of the drums so quickly. Deep Purple drummer, Ian Paice, is almost the opposite of Neil Peart, being a more intuitive and agile player, with an elastic sense of time, rather than relying so firmly on structure and composition. Ian Gillan recorded a later version of this song in a more progressive and ambient fusion style, featuring a flute instead of an organ. Well worth listening to.
King Crimson at this time was more "dynamic" as they constantly screwed with getting very quiet and then bombastically percussive and loud. A bit more primal too.
Agree but don’t forget the band that did the song Easy Livin...wow
Dire Straits
@@DeekJohnson Uriah Heep
Thank you for pointing out the artistry of Ian Pace, one of my favorite rock drummers.
So enjoy your applying of your classical knowledge to an appreciation of my favorite genere, and even a favorite band from my teen years. Thanks for the insights and the shared enjoyment.
Listening to the comment about changes in songs having to be done just right really reminded me of Steve Hackett's solo work. Speaking as someone who knows nothing about making or playing music, this is something I've always felt Steve gets so right..
It's a Beautiful Day. I had a high school friend in the early 1970's who was a huge fan
this is one of the best... I just hope somebody is suggesting RUSH XANADU !
I was surprised with how you covered this piece. This song (if you can call it a song) is one of my all time favorites since when I heard it first time ( I was in my 20s then, and in my 70s now), along with stairway to heaven, bohemian rhapsody, sgt pepper's lonely heart's club band, and a few more. And the reason is 90% because of the phenomenal performance by Ian Gillan. To my surprise, you only touched on it, but from my view point, if it wasn't for him, this incredible composition would've been just a great rock song, no more than that...
It's a Beautiful Day was an amazing, but short-lived group. Their lead player was a classical violinist who played the electric violin. Yes, it was a two-way street where IABD stole back from DP, who let them do it, as well they should have. I think you will enjoy "White Bird," by It's a Beautiful Day. It's unlike any other pop/rock song thanks to the electric violin. John Lord was, along with Keith Emerson, just about the best keyboardist of the rock era, who added lots of life into the simple musical phrase heard throughout the song.
I am going to add Ken Hensley to that list. His playing on July Morning is sublime.
..and Ray Manzarek ,ofcourse
And Rick Wakeman.
The original "It's A Beautiful Day" Album is iconic. The song "White Bird" is incredibly beautiful.
Wakeman, Wakeman, Wakeman...
It’s a Beautiful Day was moderately known in the late 60s early 70’s. They had one song that was played all the time during intermission at concerts I used to attend in Seattle. It’s name is White Bird….and it’s a lovely and simple melodic piece. Did you happen to listen to it in your rabbit hole sleuthing?
This was really interesting as someone who loves rock and metal music. I love the work this channel is doing, giving us another perspective on music we love. Thanks!
You mentioned riffs and in Rock it's pretty much an ostinato phrase...you nailed it perfectly. It's sometimes a bit more nebulous when Rock musicians use the term probably because there's a free-form connotation. It's also called a "run" or referred to as the "hook" at times. Take one of Deep Purple's most iconic songs, Smoke On the Water. The opening riff is legendary for being the first thing many folks want to learn on electric guitar. The G-Bflat5-C5 to G-Bflat5-Dflat5-C5 progression is accessible and you don't need Geddy Lee fingers to pull it off. In my case it was the third song I learned, Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl was my first, followed by Lou Reed/The Velvet Underground's There She Goes Again.
You mentioned loving the Hammond style organ in this piece. There's an older Deep Purple tune that is my favorite bit of Rock keys ever, a song called "Lazy" and I think it's worth a listen for you at the very least. Even if it doesn't turn into a reaction, your ears and musician soul will thank you. Keep doing what you're doing and sharing your love for the craft!
I have the LP that features "Bombay Calling. It's a Beautiful Day is a fun band to listen to. :)
You have one of the most informative and articulate response channels on CZcams. Kudos!
Just wanted to also let you know that Jon Lord has done a lot of very interesting solo work. Largely instrumental music with the keyboard - organ or piano - being the lead instrument. On his solo records he often plays with a full orchestra and he also sometimes adds in a little electric guitar and rock drums. His solo work isn’t particularly well known but I know you would enjoy it, and I really wish that you could hear some of it someday. In my opinion he writes some beautiful music on these albums Most of it is original but he also does a does a take on the famous Bach “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor”, that he calls “Bach Onto This”. Maybe one day you can do a reaction to it. 😊
As someone said all the Grates steals and the Less talented mimic.John Lord at the early 60s was considered a grate talent/hope for UKs classical music but he chose rock genre,until his old age,when he returned to his beloved piano.
Amy is a top-notch reviewer! Even with such limited exposure to rock music, she consistently shows her ability to key in on bands’ performances and ability (or lack thereof) to truly emote. She’s not getting distracted by things designed by the intellectual mind to appeal to other intellectual minds (the egotistical side of rock music). I mean, it really doesn’t matter how impressively a musician plays some part, if it has no place in the song! And even the simplest musical ideas can be gripping in the hands of a world-class performer.
Also, this was the first time I’ve seen her get pulled fully within a song rather than analyzing it from the outside. Relaxed and moving to the music. What a wonderful milestone in the journey!
Keep it up and keep keeping it real, Amy! I can’t wait to hear what you have to say as your knowledge of rock gets even deeper.
Love the little flurry on the Harp Amy, with the harp tapping accompaniment. Imagine if you made a whole recording …
Wow! I enjoyed (and understood) your analysis. Your description of carrying along some of the tension from the first climax into the second one, thus adding to it, is so satisfying.
I created an image in my mind, which defies written description, that I will never forget. Suffice it to say I picture two peaks; one before and one behind, where climbing the prior had not exhausted me, but rather, filled me with a sense of accomplishment and a drive to continue to the next.
Sorry if I've babbled, but I'm really excited.
Thank you.
If you ever do another DP video I suggest "Highway Star"; the organ and guitar solos will sound very familiar to you.
Yes! Or "Burn" 😀
Many thanks for this video! You are amazingly talented to research and explain ❤
You are soooo right about how music shouldn't bee territorial for the sake of exploration and possibilities. It is the marketing and commercial part of delivering music to masses that makes music so territorial. But if we take out that selfishness from the music production creation today we get some unbelievable pieces for generations to come and inspiration for them to create more of great music. One of the good examples in rock/blues music is Jimmy Hendrix and SRV (Steve Ray Vaughan) and song Voodoo Child. Jimmy made a legendary piece with his original song and SRV did his version of it. While those who prise Jimmy for his work and originality dont want to hear any other version of his song, Others who appreciate SRV genius talent on his guitar are glad SRV made his version of Jimmy's song which also become legendary. While both fans are in conflict of who is better of them two they mostly overlook that Jimmy and SRV were a very good friends and Jimmy was an idol to SRV. Jimmy didn't mind his song to be played by SRV so much that he even lent him his innovation (at the time Jimmy was experimenting with) a wah-wah guitar pedal for SRV gigs. When Jimmy died I believe his father gave to SRV Jimmy's pedal as a gift. Now we have two legendary version of the same song and both equally appreciated. It is a shame music industry robbed us of creativity and possibilities. And the funny thing is todays commercial music is more alike than ever before to the point that is hard to be excited about new songs topping the charts (with some very rare exceptions).This is all because the music is created by the money and commercial rules and not by talents.
I did not now about about Bombay Calling version, thank you very much for this information. Very interesting. When Deep purple came out with this song there was no internet, and unless you red Rolling Stone magazine (or similar) you would not get many such information in those days. But I was young, I had my turntable and my vinyl and would immerse myself into the songs without warring about copyright crap or who stole the song from whom.
The history is more simple. John Lord and and Ritchie Blackmore saw Bombay Calling. Afterward John and Ritchie make a gig together with those chords that John remerber . When they change the band to MK2 It came a new song. Music is all you learn. Make It your Way !
I'm a new subscriber.Thank you for introducing me to your channel.I am a retired carpenter (67 yrs old)and I grew up with metal music such as you are playing.I also have a keen ear for classical music.How you may ask that I have such a wide variety in music tastes?My wife was an microbiologist and loved classical music.I was a construction worker and loved metal music.We would go to classical concerts and metal concerts together.You have a talent for expiaining and teaching.I find it very interesting.Thank you for bringing up some wonder memories.
.
.And YES iI do watch the parts two,,,
I've followed your videos almost from the beginning. You really develope and making better and better videos, with more confidence to be on camera and greater float in expressions. Keep up your good work.
Thanks for this. And thanks for using the studio version, rather than the live versions often used on reaction videos.
Amy, can't help noticing how you inadvertently mention a couple of classic rock songs in your wonderful commentary, such as Close to the Edge by Yes and Break (Crash) on Through to the Other Side by the Doors, two songs I'd recommend for you to give a listen and analysis.
Excellent, excellent! So happy that you really like this song. Is this the first song you have reviewed that you put on your playlist? First I've seen, but then I haven't watched every single song you've done. Also happy to see that you really get it. This incarnation of Deep Purple was all great musicians--Ian Paice is one of my favorite drummers. Sorry to say that their other songs never quite reach the depth of this one, tho. Don't get me wrong, they're great and iconic rock pieces, can't beat "Lazy" in my book, they just are more rocking out and not as universal.
One comment: You initially were interested in how the organ would sound but those of us who recommended this song to you knew the main strength was Ian's vocals. So it was so great to see how your face lit up when you first heard and then later talked about those vocals. Hardly a word about the organ tho.😁
It may be virgin rock, but this talk about climaxing was expertly described and it applies exactly in the same way to more subjects than rock.
Your analyses continue to blow me away. Thank you for bringing a different perspective to this masterpiece.
The stars were aligned when they recorded this one. Superb analysis.
Hi Amy,
Wonderful and unique analysis! I especially resonate with your perception of the two climaxes and how the very end of the song, the second climax, added such a uniquely powerful and memorable message. The very best songs have no "ending", meaning that they leave you feeling unfinished, unsettled, wanting more in some way, on some level. Such songs leave you not satiated, but looking for MORE truth on the same general subject. That is one reason Child In Time is close to the beginning of my anti-war playlist of songs. Because the ending is a perfect "mind feed" to move on to even heavier and harder songs that express and reveal the true facts and horrors of the Insane War Ritual.
Excellent research and analysis. A lot of people try playing this song but it doesn't sound right. You nailed it showing the "articulation" of the notes!! Also didn't some of the classical composers in their day "borrow" and were influenced by other composers? Maybe you could give some examples of that? Thanks for doing this song as it is one of my all time favourites. Full of Eastern European pathos!!!! Thanks from Canada.
Amy… I just discovered your channel just a few weeks ago. I am really enjoying watching you listen and react to much of the music I grew up with such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, etc. Each time I listen to these musical pieces, I have recognized and continue to recognize the melodic and motive characteristics, but I do so enjoy watching and listening to your expressions and immediate reactions as well as your more technical reflections. It is very cool how you introduce new and different layers and ways to intrepret the music; as well as relating it to other genres and periods. A couple of bands I can suggest. 1.Renaissance 2. Moody Blues THANKS… I appreciate your work. 👍
There´s always something to be learned in your analysis. i never knew that "Child in Time" is a kind of cover.
Not cover, it has different structure and elements in addition to the same main riff
12:45 - when you hit that groove, it's called playing in the pocket
Hello Amy. I love your channel. Can I recommend that you look at Kate Bush. The word 'genius' is thrown around a lot these days, but she is worthy of the epitaph. If you start at the beginning 'Wuthering Heights' is the place to start. She really is unique an inspired many musicians.
Wonderful articulation and explanation of musical dynamics. Thank you.
I would love to see you listening to the band Pearl Jam, songs like Garden or Release.
It's great to watch you, with all your knowledge in classical musical, getting out of your comfort zone and giving rock music a chance.
I absolutely love listening to you describe your appreciation for this song, and why you feel it works as a piece of music. You are so eloquent in your description of it, and your passion for music is so wonderfully obvious.
I would love to see you do a video one of these days describing your favorite piece of music, and why it is so. I know that would fall slightly out of the purpose of this channel, but it may help all of us get an insight into what you normally love to listen to.
Anyhow, I am very happy to see that you liked this song so much. You should check out many other things that guitarist Ritchie Blackmore has done. Especially his more recent work, which is mostly playing Renaissance music.
Since I'm from the Netherlands I'm proud that the interview from the Dutch TV show Top2000 a go go comes up in this analysis. I remember seeing that on television when it was broadcasted. As always a very interesting and clear analysis of a great song. Thank you.
This is one of those songs that Flanders consistently votes into its top 10 songs of all time.
Being a guitarist, I'm naturally very attentive to Ritchie Blackmore's work. His background is interesting, and his inspiring lead guitar solos are fairly epic.
Richie soloed so very tastefully, it was something noticed even by this channel's harpist. I simply don't find fast shredding as powerful emotionally as the classic rock gods ability to play with empathy with the track.
Listening to Yngwie Malmsteen for example, he seems to play over the rest of the music rather than with the band.
I'm almost as gobsmacked by Amy's analysis of the song as the song itself when I heard it the first time, and I'm already listening to Child in Time with a much finer appreciation of both the song and the artistry involved. From a personal experience perspective, what I most appreciated is her explanation of the articulation of notes. I've often wondered why you can hear when a different musician performs a piece of music that one is well acquainted with, even though the exact same notes are being played. Thank you very much Amy!
Since you're learning about individual instruments, and how they evolved with the history of Rock and roll, why not listen to some early rock and roll songs, to see how the genre began? I know the perfect early rock song: Chuck Berry. Johnny B. Goode. What do you guys think?
Be bop a Lula. It’s important to see the videos too to get the Rock experience.
If Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" was good enough to be included on the Golden Disks NASA included on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft, which were launched in 1978 on their long journeys to encounter all of the outer planets and eventually depart our solar system for interstellar space, it's good enough to be considered the perfect "early rock song." 😉
@@ronforeman2556 One day aliens will come searching down in Louisiana, cross from New Orleans, way down in the woods amongst the evergreens, for a little country boy named Johnny B Good.

“Every giant stands on the shoulders of others” as Amy said.
Amy is the Classical Rick Beato
( What makes this song great )
It was very interesting to hear your more theoretical approach to analysing this song, different from just expressing impression (which I guess most people would feel). As a sidenote Ian Gillan was earlier both singer and drummer, which could explain why he sometimes uses his voice as a sort of percussion (like in _"wait for the riCOchet")_
Absolutely love Deep Purple, and it's great to see one of my favorite songs of theirs analyzed like this.
If you're looking for more rock music featuring an organ, I'd highly suggest reacting to Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.
There's so many great songs by them that it's hard to narrow down my suggestion to just one, so I think I would recommend either "Tarkus", or "The Endless Enigma".
Love your channel, and I hope you continue doing these reactions and analyses for a long while.
My favourite bit of this is Amy referencing "Zeppelin" and "Stairway" - sounding like a veteran rock aficionado!
Please take up 2 songs by Yes... "Heart Of The Sunrise" and "Roundabout." If you're feeling adventurous, try the song "Awaken." I'm really enjoying your channel, you remind me of my Godmother who is an accomplished pipe organist and pianist.
I echo this suggestion
Please, please do Yes.
Yes to Yes.
Totally agree with your suggestion
Hi miss Virgin Rock, I really enjoyed your commentary on the legendary Child In Time from Deep Purple this is one of my all time favourite pieces of music. I first heard it when i was getting into rock music as a young teenager about 45 years ago! The "classics" such as this and others, Stairway to Heaven, Freebird, Echoes, Warning, Bytor & The Snowdog, Rock Bottom, Firth of Forth, etc are all "proven" songs. How about commenting on a much newer song EVOLVE from The Warning (an all girl Mexican 3-piece), now that would be interesting!
Excellent analysis and explanation!!!
"Borrowing" is very common of course, as were outright covers - there's a whole area of modern music called "remixing" that builds on those customs where a new artist takes some portion of another artists music - sometimes only small parts, other-times more extensive - and creates a new work. That new work might be just a simple variation or it might even be sometime only that hints at the original work but creates something entirely new.
Wanderfull !!! Both videos are fabulous. Thank you Amy :)
This is my favorite analysis, so far. Well done.
Another great in-depth analysis video in which we learn so much!
Wow, such thoughtfulness, insight and articulation on your further exploration/ analysis of this song...kudos to you!
Amy, thank you so much for both of these reviews. I really, really enjoyed them. Deep Purple was my first favorite rock group in those all-important teenage years. I appreciate how you really listen closely, and you articulate very well what you’re feeling and experiencing.
One particular point I loved was your remarking upon the way Jon Lord articulated the three notes of the main keyboard riff. I had never really realized how he did it, and how he could’ve done it differently (and less effectively). Your demonstration of that on the harp was excellent.
I also liked your mention of the drummer, Ian pace, interacting well, playfully, with the keyboard melody early on in the song.
You’re absolutely right that it’s very curious how zero people mentioned that Purple had taken this main theme from a different band. I didn’t either. I think maybe it’s because we big fans of the band want to give our heroes as much credit as possible for this creation but, you’re right, there’s no need to be territorial about it, Purple themselves mention it, it’s simply an important part of the history of the song. But I agree with you, DP did take the motif to a whole new level within their song.
I’m really glad that you very much enjoyed the singing and voice of Ian Gillan. In his prime he’s my favorite rock singer. Hopefully you can return to Deep Purple in a while, they have many interesting songs. Thanks again!!
😍 this more in depth analysis/experience of this piece of music shows how deep you have been digging into the entire piece!! I'm glad I have subscribed to your channel!
Yours is a good idea (the reaction and then an analysis). Mine is the revisiting of songs, and some newly learned perspective. Thanks.
The first record I ever bought was Deep Purple's Concerto for Group and Orchestra. I was young, and my father hated 'that modern music'. With this stratagem I hoped to sneak Rock into the house!
I’m a complete autodidact when it comes to musical theory. Sometimes I wish I had been told a few things. But in reception of good music I am instinctively good and don’t mind my shortcomings
Thank you for your deep, really interesting and incredibly articulate and eloquent analysis. A true pleasure to listen.
My recommendation for another video: 'Miracles Out Of Nowhere' by Kansas.
Always loved this song. I enjoyed your impressions and analysis.
It is fantastic that you picked the studio version! Everyone who doesn't want to analyse live vocals or improvisation should listen this version first.
Thank you for your insight!
