Just finished watching a Charles Cornell video on HTTYD's soundtrack and it got me thinking about how much I really love this movie and it's music.
I started crying when he was analyzing Test Drive, both the scene and the track, and maybe it's because it's 2 am but I got super emotional. This movie and franchise has been so important to me my entire life, the adventures it's taken me on, all the failed fan fictions I never got off the ground (no pun intended).
HTTYD truly is one of the best movies ever.
@tmbgareok a music appreciation YouTuber appreciates "Birdhouse in Your Soul." As is only proper.
anyway, this is good.
"The Most Hauntingly Beautiful 4-Chord Song Ever Written" -- Nick Drake - "Riverman", from the album "Five Leaves Left" -- analysis by Charles Cornell
Like many millennials, I first heard Nick Drake through the Volkswagon commercial. In the summer of 2007, his family had a MySpace page for his music, promoting a new album of home recordings, called "Family Tree". It included some of his earlier work, stripped of the orchestral accompaniment that was part of the commercial soundscape at the time. (EG "The Sound of Silence" having two versions.)
In this video Charles Cornell describes how the chord progressions show different emotions - putting words to the "3am feelings" phenomenon I have described in the past. Just... a swell of dynamic emotions. And that's part of why I love Nick Drake and music in general. There's a catharsis to listening to this sort of music, whether you're happy or sad.
