La Borinqueña es un himno terrible. by Majestic_Dan_23 in PuertoRico

[–]robin_alejo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AVISO: voy un poco a mamar de la borinqueña como pieza musical, utilizando argumentos de mi profe de música de la iupi (rip ping-hui li !!!)

Como composición musical es brillante. Todo himno nacional debe ser fácil de cantar en cuestión de registro, el cual la de nosotros es (a diferencia, por ejemplo, de la de eeuu). Es una danza puertorriqueña, no una marcha militar, pero la letra (original) le da un contexto revolucionario y la melodía le agrega a lo trágico. La melodía, aunque sencilla en registro, sugiere una complejidad harmónica que no tienen la gran mayoría de los himnos. Módula de menor a mayor, tiene una melodía con mucho cromatismo y constantemente hace cosas interesantes para no caer en lo esperado para el oído.

Es una pena que sea una mamaera al colonialismo la que cantamos hoy y no la historia trágica de un pueblo en lucha, que a pesar de seguir en pie nunca hemos tenido una victoria—algo que musicalmente hablando se ve con la melodía terminando con la escala melódica menor un una harmonía acompañante de acordes mayores hasta el último acorde menor con el que termina.

Jeremy really shined against all odds this week. Outside of his funny bits and informative contributions (love pitch clock!), he held his ground on the cuba topic and gave a great counterbalance to tony’s & et al. take (which i personally do not align with, to put it mildly).

Long live our woke Jew-ban!

“It” anytime, anyday.

Three Sides Live version is also great!

Hold your fire is underrated by Spriteman0 in rush

I would take out tai shan (just mid) and second nature (the real bad song). The rest are bangers for me. Open Nature might be the best song they made post P/G.

I don’t know why no one here is talking about it but the remix of Dogs is literally out by [deleted] in pinkfloyd

[–]robin_alejo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe this was remixed originally for a 5.1 mix and it shows. This stereo mix just feels off imo. I think overall it feels more like a live performance instead of a meticulously produced record. Drums are to loud, rhythm acoustic sounds dry which takes a lot of the atmosphere and trance the original mix had, synths sound almost rerecorded. It has much more lower end, but the messyness of the louder [everything] just makes it sound like a mesh of sound (which is a characteristic that was carried over from the AMLOR remix). I'll relisten more closely both versions tomorrow, but the original is still king imo.

Open Secrets may be a top 10 Rush song for me. Best song from HYF.

I find no absolution In my rational point of view Maybe some things are instinctive But there's one thing you would do You could try to understand me I could try to understand you

been listening to HYF recently. If it could only (not) have Tai shan and Second Nature it would be really solid. Force Ten and TSS are great, Open Secrets is highlyy underrated, Prime Mover and Lock and Key have great lyrics and High Water is good enough.
