I love that this is narrated by Carly Rae Jepsen 😂❤
Looking for an explanation of what music is, I find no logical answer.
Why?
Because we take it for granted.
My definition of music is that it is a variation of human speech, vocal or instrumental.
That is the part of the brain that processes it.
Of course like speech it contains everything in human life, emotions, moods, questions, answers, statements, violence, everything.
The current explanations focusses on How this is done, but nor What it is..
The opening song is: Explained – Theme Song by Jackson Greenberg.
why did everyone replay 8:23 whats wrong with the monkey like the replay bar skyrockets at that second
Saw a funny dance for a school shooting on YouTube and wanted to know where it’s from.
quite a few mistakes in this.
7:16 – the audio is a "harmonic minor scale" but the animation shows a 'phyrigian' scale, which is not what we hear. the scale we heard would have both the second and seventh lines move to be at the same level as the major scale. also using a harmonic minor scale is not a great example if you're trying to objectively show the difference between major and minor sounds, a "natural minor" scale would accomplish this better since you don't have to change any notes(using the "relative minor').
9:02 – Major isn't nessecarily associated with "happy feelings." It has a brightness to it but that doesn't nessecarily translate to happy. take for example the a section of duke ellington's 'caravan,' which chills on one (major) C7 chord. You'd probably think of it as "suspenseful, dramatic, eerie" rather than 'happy.' But it is still thought of as *bright*. Just one of the many ways chords can work, and always depends on the broader context.
10:20 – the last 2 notes quite noticeably rise, the animation shows them as falling.
the animation also shows each note falling as lower than the previous, but the note is repeated.
10:23 – the Beatles and Bob Dylan basslines are not the "exact same bassline" as the example you depicted before. it falls in semitones, rather than diatonically within the key, like Hit the Road Jack and Lamento della Ninfa do.
But love the video, 'specially the evolution discussion.
So does everyone of us have to do this for our music lesson?
Is there one on Netflix for sex?
Ed Sheeran and Marvin Gaye have entered the chat 9:40
Carly Rae Jepsen 😊😊😊
Vox is on another level
The theme song is just dope
that chart is really beautiful can we get it as wallpaper
2:01
duuduu
Hey can someone help me with a school asignment for this what is darwins evolutionary explanation for music??!
💚🌻 Music heals by increasing our frequency vibration.
this is great, but whats up with plugging a moog into a guitar amplifier?
Masterpiece! From Secriptwriting to narration, to sound design and editing… Inspiring work!
What about Hazrat Inyat Khan's quote from "The mysticism of music & the power of the word"?. "Rhythm, when of an eve nature, can be felt by every living thing". I guess that means they can feel the rhythm but not react to it IN rhytm
That documentary was so interesting… Could listen to that brain surgeon all day
nobody gets that song girl
SHAME ON NETFLIX FOR PUTTING MOSTLY GARBAGE, DISGUSTING THINGS FILLED WITH VULGARITY AND GRAPHIC CONTENT. SICK SICK SICK SOCIETY. SICK
I have the same disease as Jennifer. I had the same surgery as she did but only on my right side. I lost all sense of music as well for about music. It was an odd sensation for sure and I thought I was alone in this experience until I saw this documentary two months post surgery.
❤❤❤❤
Music is really amazing!
calling for a prayer or the azan its not a music though!!
2:52 was that a mosque? You know there is no music there
Why is rated tv-ma ????
Regarding Rock and Roll… EXPLAINED came with the miseducation version, I'm afraid. Sister Rosetta Tharpe Born: March 20, 1915, Cotton Plant, AR
Died: October 9, 1973, Philadelphia, PA. IS and always will be known as the one of a handful of official pioneers of Rock & Roll who were African American. Sister Tharpe's influences were born of Gospel music and SHE is credited as influencing early and great Rock and Roll artists. Her career began at age 7 and her performance at a Manchester railway station, her in an overcoat, clearly lay bare she is Rock & Roll's nebula. Can't forgive the fact you tried to ignore African American's as THE creators of Rock & Roll, but That's ok Explained… we see you & know what had happened… I'm here for it. and to CHECK that ASS! tfoh
Repetition legitimizes
This Documentary is so emotional idk why but the vibes the voiceovers all made me kinda emotional. @netflix can ya'll do a Documentary about frequencies? For example the 432 Hz tone, that would be mad nice.
If the sound is not recognized or performed, It will be another noise.
Please can anyone help me with the name of the background music at 13:44
I cant believe they have Carly Rae Jepsen narrating and didn't even sya iy
Of all the episodes I’ve watched so far; this was the best, for me. Really kept me super invested in the show.
This episode is where I started questioning this series' credibility.
The chord progression of The house of the rising sun (you can hear it at 10:08) is not at all the same as the other examples. Neither is While my guitar gently weeps (10:22). These two are almost identical in chord progression (with a slight difference), but not "the exact same bass line" as advertised here.
Saying "composer after composer has been using the exact same bass line.." is true, but you didn't get all of your examples right. That's just lazy fact checking, and for a company with your resources, Netflix, you could afford someone who knows music theory to fact check your episodes.
I watched this in class and now I feel like watching it at home and here I am watching it at home again
vox is huge
