I don't know if it's because I'm slightly drunk or what, but I almost pissed myself laughing when the umpa dancing part happened. Oh, man... I need a second to recover.
wow that's amazing! You're more than a whole band! And I must say you are better than a big part of singers! I love your songs! You're just brilliant! :)
This is WAY too damn creepy, in the best possible way. It's fascinating- your Pomplamoose stuff is so upbeat and happy, but your own stuff is so dark. Good, but dark!
I have a question that you might never answer, but when you record these, how do you start? Like... do you start with you singing then build off of the instruments? Or do you play one part to give you a guide line? and then think oh hey, that will sound neat here, and then add it?
I asked the same question but I got no answer so I had to do it by ear.
Verse Bm G#m G B
Chorus B5 C5 E5 G5
They're not in order, but i think those are the chords for the song. I play them and they sound good. Although the main sequence in the verse is Bm G#m
My mom says that this is the best thing she ever heard last time. :) You're really crazy J. :) It's just what she likes, she also loves your sense of humor and disharmony. :)
Btw, she is 39, has 2 children (me and my brother) and is still annoying with playing your songs by me. :D
Then why you be trollin'? Don't like it, don't watch it. Besides, having a crescendo does not mean screaming, so it kinda appears as though you don't even know what you're talking about.
That's what happens when you write when you are drunk. Of course I don't know what crescendos is, that's what we have google for. I just didn't like his puny screams...
What I don't like about his singing is that there is no power... sounds so weak!
I found a cover that I think is better: /watch?v=AmfnAPD-x3o
if you don't know what a crescendo is then don't talk as though you do, and his vocals aren't usually this weak, it actually fits the lyrics and the mood of the song, but whatever. go listen to whatever screamo stuff you're talking about.
It almost look like if you had different personalities, according to the instrument you are playing :P accordeon-Jack is far more serious than the drummer, hehe!
@surfysez96 YES! I didn't hear it before, except for the accordion! Who else rocks the accordion? Yuri from GB! Of course! I'm seeing Gogol in Reno in two weeks! Psyched!~
What just happened?! I think I've gone crazy... and! I'm!! Enjoying it. I really do enjoy your music sir! You were the one who introduced me to videosongs.. and once I get money :) I'll hopefully put up videos in the super near future. Wish me luck! BTW your a genius! :P
im not a big fan of this type of music but this song sounds like it can be a number one hit all over the radio and crap like that... why hasnt it happened
Jack! I think you're really a genius when it comes to music composition and your simple videos. You made me curious in the vocoder demo, and now, well... let's just say, if you came out with an album, I'd definitely buy it. :)
I just realized something. I was trying to explain this song to my friends, and I realized in theory, this song should be super boring. What I mean to say is, you've got your instruments all playing the essentially the same thing over and over again. In actuality, it is extremely entertaining. I'm still trying to figure that out. I guess the musical greatness just goes straight over my head.
@musicalman1995 No, I totally agree with you. I'm just not used to hearing simplistic music in today's industry. Also, I would just like to say, that UmPa dancing is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen.
GENIUS!
