 It's gonna be okay. Everything's gonna be fine. We have all been saved. The celebrities have taken care of it. Thank you Celebrities. Things got pretty hairy there for a second. I was worried, but thanks to the thoughtful initiative of Gal Gadot We now have all of your favorite celebrities singing John Lennon's Imagine all together in about 75 different keys. You know, this is a very interesting Reharm of this tune and I'd really like to get to the bottom of it and find out exactly what's going on here musically Because who knows maybe I'd want to steal a thing or two and and apply it to my own playing So so let's jump into this and find out exactly how this brilliant arrangement of Imagine was constructed Let's just see what we're working with here Very nice very nice start, let's find let's figure out what where are we? All right, so we're maybe a little flat, but that's okay. I mean if I'm sure it'll just slide right in So that's gonna be C Oh Okay, all right hold on hang on the tempo is interesting here I think we're using more of like a rubato feel like this of kind of a Fluctuating tempo, so we're not really we're not really beholden to one particular pulse throughout the arrangement So it's just gonna kind of you know ebb and flow just with the with the feel I would imagine Easy if you try Okay, so right there we're gonna jump up a whole step we go from C to D. How about that? That's really nice. I kind of like that That's that's nice, that's that was a good idea. That was good thinking know how Okay, so I see I see the motif that you know that's going on here So we we climbed up a whole step and now we've just we've climbed up another whole step. This is a this is really clever This is really clever, so let's see Are you serious It's it's another it's another whole step it's it's perfect. It's brilliant almost like it was on purpose Easy Imagine all the people Okay, now so we've been relatively Diatonic and whole tone and what you know, whatever you want to call it all the way up through this point But Sarah Silverman brings in the first really interesting harmonic shift here, so let's figure out what's going on So so far we started in C went to D went to E went to F sharp And then James Marsden put it back into B, which is still kind of a similar sort of feel there But where are we now? Imagine all the people Whoa Oh I don't know where that went I mean we were in D flat there for a second on the five chord But I'd have to go back and slow that down. I'm not sure what the thought process was there But you know what we're just gonna we're just gonna gloss over it. We'll call it ad lib. That's fine It isn't hard to do My guess is that's Jimmy Fallon doing John Lennon, but the bigger question is what key are we in it isn't hard So we're in like C A quarter flat. I'm really sorry people with perfect pitch. This has got to be even worse for you Your sick nothing to kill or die for Natalie Portman sticking with the same key Although she's a little more in tune out of the real musicians who are actually in this I'm amazed that nobody thought to ask like hey, are we are are we all choosing a key or how's this gonna work? Three in a row in the same key I don't believe it. Oh, and then we jump from C to E Good okay, yeah, we're getting there. I think we're in E again Amy Adams coming through third in a row in E. We're getting somewhere So we had three in a row and C and three in a row and in E now That's a major third Modulation which is very interesting harmonic device. It's kind of a little bit not as common as maybe the minor third That's an interesting motion. Let's see where we go from here Hey, you wanna join us Hey, look at that. We're back to C and remember we're not really using a steady pulse here We're kind of just floating and and really going Wherever we feel like we want to go so don't worry about the time. It doesn't matter imagine no Possessions we're gonna ignore that one Very nice very solidly in a flat we went there from E, which is another major third. So we're using this We're using this major third motif here. So we're then then moving up moving up again. I Can only presume we're gonna go back to C Let's see what happened no need for greed and hunger Will Ferrell we we almost got there We were a half step away because that was B and not C so kind of ruin the the harmonic motion we had going on there Is that Mark Ruffalo for a second. I wasn't sure if it was Mark Ruffalo or Tai Lopez. You're in my garage Back to C so if Mark Ruffalo got us there will Ferrell drop the ball, but we made it eventually Back into be okay For for a second we were there E flat, okay, I don't think we've been any flat yet. Who knows we might even be trying to use all 12 keys in this arrangement I'm not sure. We'll have to keep listening over and over again Okay, so now we have a tempo we're introducing a tempo for the first time in the arrangement It's right right about here nice little sidestep and a snap. That's nice That's nice So after all this uncertainty and the rubato quality of just sort of being free and letting it fall wherever we want It to now right towards the very end. We're gonna introduce a nice steady pulse. It's an interesting compositional choice But let's see where it goes from here, but I'm not the only one Wow E flat again perfect really really good. I hope someday And bring it back to gal to wrap it all up back in the key of C I got to tell you I for one feel much safer these ideas compositionally are super interesting and I and I'd like to you know experiment with them I feel inspired to kind of you know try these out in my own writing and in my own arranging Well, let me know what you guys think in the comments below. What was your favorite part of the arrangement? What was your favorite key change and who is your favorite performer out of everybody? That's it for today's musical analysis and we'll see you next time. Thanks for watching
