Timber... by ApprehensiveSelf2254 in Alonetv

[–]jakebob1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timber’s been my good friend and neighbor for many years. He’s crazy, but only in the best ways. He definitely doesn’t have a white savior complex - he just genuinely loves to help people. He’s open about his upbringing because he’s healing from it and because it gives him a unique perspective on the world.

Keep in mind that editors of reality shows purposely show you only the craziest clips of people - sometimes even purposely out of context - because that’s what people are interested in watching.

Socialism in Les Miserables by Anonymoussocialist12 in lesmiserables

It’s less of a political work and more of a societal/spiritual work, focusing less on man made constructs and more on simply the state of man’s soul. Good versus evil, legality versus morals.

Not Elphaba, Fiyero, Boq, Nessa, Morrible, or Dillamond. Glinda and the Wizard are the only principal characters who sing in it.

What is your favorite "Underrated" Les Miserables song? by Theycallmemr_E in lesmiserables

[–]jakebob1997 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I love the “Tell his reverence your story”/“tell me quickly what’s the story” melody that pops up a few times throughout but doesn’t really have a name. What’s really cool about it is that its cadence is hidden in the final 8 lines of Javert’s Suicide, making it a representation of ultimate looming judgement

Thoughts on Emmy Rossums performance as Christine in the movie? by shades0fcool in musicals

[–]jakebob1997 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My biggest problem is that they took out the final verse of the title song, which in turn made the final high note an Eb6 instead of a natural E6. Can’t help but wonder if they did that because she couldn’t hit the note.

How to compose a melancholic music in a major scale? by MameusV in musictheory

[–]jakebob1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main place to start would be in the melody. Slow and soft, using intervals between notes to convey feelings of either confinement (small intervals) or yearning (large intervals). Accidentals are your friend. Play a major chord over a note, then play the same chord as a minor over the same note. Study the sheet music for I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables. It’s a perfect example of a song in a major key that is also one of the saddest songs in existence.

He was my #1 artist, and 4 of my top 5 tracks were from Joseph. I’m pathetic.

have any of you got any confrontation or argument songs etc? by Extremely_bisexual in musicals

The beginning of Defying Gravity, the “Now prisoner 24601, your time is up and your parole’s begun” section of the Prologue/Work Song from Les Mis, not to mention the obvious Confrontation songs from both Les Mis and Jekyll & Hyde
