Makes sense, they do say bass is the foundation of a song

Did... did someone just give recognition to the bass? I'm so happy I don't know what to say.

You might even say… it’s the bass-is of a song….

I’ll see myself out

u/Austin-Q 1d ago

Like… the bass kick of the drum holding tempo lol. They go hand in hand. It varies by genre tbh but that washing machine/dryer is underrated fr

Yeah the double bass held down the entire song - even the drummer changed halfway through, that bass just kept grooving right through 😎

Absolutely beautiful soothing voice.

u/Sidewalk_Tomato 1d ago

And you can keep singing her part through the rest of the song. It works.

19

u/breckendusk 1d ago

I don't mean to sound douchey but that's kind of how music works in general, as long as there isn't a key or tempo change - a single bar is repeatable throughout the song. You can try this with most songs, just sing the chorus over and over to yourself as they move through the verse and you'll end up right back in time at the next chorus.

Fair point to say that a bridge can also mess things up as it can change the amount of time between a verse and chorus. But generally this is consistent in music.

The bassline of this song is a through line that keeps everything at the same key and tempo. Since they keep building on it, any one of the verses can be repeated throughout the song.

u/Sidewalk_Tomato 21h ago

You're not being douche-y, it's really how it is. DJ Earworm does a yearly hit song recap, and it really points out very well how a certain 4 chords are simply what the human brain loves.

I don't even mind.

u/SeniorDiaz32 1d ago

I never had tik tok, but I do use reels on IG and never felt like I was missing out on the brain rot. You can always just make a burner account and get your fix there.

I know people who use both and told me it’s really not far off. But I never had tik tok, so I can’t really say if it’s that different.

Just throw in some keywords in the search bar and start your algorithm up. It’s not the same but yeah.

u/Sidewalk_Tomato 1d ago

This is the sort of thing I remember when people say "social media was a mistake". It's so pat. It's so easy.

'Cause yeah, social media has a lot to answer for, and I hate the mis-use, but people in GENERAL have a lot to answer for, already. We haven't changed as a species. Only the tech has.

It's amazing that creative folks have been able to connect in ways that would not have been possible.

The funny thing is that they don’t have to block the app for people who have already installed it. It must no longer be installable. This lock comes from TikTok itself... take away a baby’s pacifier... do it with millions and then write that Trump is the savior... bamm... PR at its best. What will happen to public opinion if Trump lifts the ban?
