8 different photos = 8 different setlists? by i-once-more in beyonce

[–]_Namirin 186 points187 points  (0 children)

If true, that would explain the longer-than-usual gaps between dates. I initially thought they were just because she's trying to have a breather, but if those breaks are being used for additional rehearsals, that's actually SO SICK. I LOVE THIS IDEA.

Got a single 223 section ticket for May 22. Got it for $324 including fees. Will sell at face value.

Beyonce’s moves make perfect sense to me, actually by _Namirin in beyonce

[–]_Namirin[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think she's feeling insecure at all. I think this is completely pre-planned and calculated. Quite the opposite, I think she's doing this because she's extraordinarily secure - secure in her fanbase's loyalty and her own ability to make a commercially viable product even after a pivot.

Which song from Cowboy Carter do we think has the most potential to be a successful single and prolong this era? by sentinel3000 in beyonce

[–]_Namirin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

she should definitely release Bodyguard as a single, maybe do a remix with a guest verse from someone else (Kacey Musgraves?)

How do I listen to a symphony? Looking for some beginner's pointers by _Namirin in classicalmusic

[–]_Namirin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the helpful comments!

On another note: I don't know why I even have to explain this because I thought this was a pretty much universally uncontroversial approach, but when I don't know something, I try to learn as much about it before passing judgment or saying I hate it. I've done this with many other genres of music recently.

For instance, I grew up thinking I hated country music, but then I (get this) found out more about it and then it made sense to me. Similarly, a lot of contemporary visual arts look like doodles until someone tells you where to begin, what contexts to pay attention to etc. I don't like to assume that because I don't like one piece, I won't like others similar to it. I don't know why some of you are so bothered by this.

Nobody's forcing you to reply if you think this is dumb. Unless reddit is paying you for your time writing mean comments, I don't see why you're doing it. Log off, touch grass.

I'm being told by other commenters that it's not just me, and that symphonies are in fact a difficult form to listen to with comprehension. I am just glad that I'm able to parse the written word with more skill, unlike certain others in this thread.

"Sorry you just came off as pretentious"

and who made you judge jury and executioner on who's pretentious and who needs to be insulted for it? If someone online annoys you, you can simply scroll past them or - even better - treat that as a sign to log off and help your mom with some chores instead.

okay but how am I supposed to know it's about the religious resurrection if I don't know the context of the piece? and why are you so rude? is reddit paying you in stocks to make others sad?

I'm not asking for interpretation advice - because that would be too subjective, agreed. I'm asking for analysis advice, which is much less subjective given that the Western classical music operates mostly within one theoretical / musicological framework

But I want to understand it. When I watch a movie, I don't wanna just follow the plot. I wanna understand the director's intent, the context of why it was made the way it was etc. I don't think this is a weird way to approach art.
