MJ's copyright owners will allow this video to remain on youtube but there must be consistent use of frequent stops. No one part of the song in part or in whole can be played without frequent interruptions. This is partially why I stop and comment and sing during and after key sections that I play. If I just play the files, the video will be taken down. Presenting the files in this format with this kind of flow cements the FAIR USE intent which is why it can remain up on KZfaq. Along these lines, I can not reveal where or link to the source files or I'll get a takedown notice as well. Giving away content that is not mine to give also falls outside of FAIR USE intent. Thanks for understanding and for enjoying the video! I'm excited for you to hear all the wonderful nuances! Btw... Here is THE guy who did the bass for Billie Jean showing how he did it. GREAT channel too. Show him some love! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLGqlrVh2LvahmQ.html

For Billie Jean, Bruce made a type of fabric sleeve that fit over the front of the kick drum with a small slit in the middle for the microphone to be inserted, thus we get a nice clean thump. I always thought as a kid that it was electric drum machine but no, just Bruce Swediens brilliant mic placement, layering, and mixingHe also uses ribbon mikes for metal sounds, jars clanking, trumpet solos, as it gives you a natural sound without the high clipping, thus when you master it it doesn’t sound loud and horrible.

The story behind this song is insane. Apparently when Michael was planning this song in his head, he was so lost in thought that he didn't realise his car was on fire until someone passing by on a motorbike told him. When it came to record the final studio version of this, Michael nailed it on the first try in on recording, and Bruce Sweden mixed this song 94 different times. I think the second or 4th mix ended up being the final one that we know and love.

@virgilblaze9090 Жыл бұрын

Michael's voice is such an addictive drug. There are many reasons why his voice can hold a listeners' attention for so long, but the interesting discovery for me is that the magic is found beyond the voice itself. He was essentially an organic instrument. A very complex and layered instrument, and the reason he was able to beatbox entire compositions into a tape recorder. Not many singers use the full repertoire of the sounds their voice can actually make, but Michael does it so naturally.

@markr.devereux3385 11 ай бұрын

I first noticed that percussive and breathing he used on OFF THE WALL the single. I k ow he stole it from other r&b artists but he perfected it on OFF THE WALL. He overdid it at the same time placed them well. I immediately tried sing it myself and you got to have those little sounds he proceeds with. I'll give him full credit on that one.

@tim3970 Жыл бұрын

I do not know if you already know this story, but I think it's a fun one: In his book "moonwalk", Michael tells that he was so focused on the song, that one time, while driving on the freeway with Nelson Hayes, a kid on a motorcycle had to tell them the car was on fire. And even when they were getting help and finding an alternate way to where they were going, he was still composing and adding things to the song. That is how involved he was with the song.

The production is heavy and very layered; but even if you listen to it very carefully, you won't pick up or isolate all it's nuances because of how well it was arranged. I guess... we can agree to disagree.

You can't underestimate the contributions of QUINCY ROD TEMPERTON and now I see James Ingram was there and the talented musicians who played there parts. This stuff takes musical notation good board engineers and hard work. It's amazing there was so much good top notch material. It's historical maybe never to be seen again.

MJ is Incredible

@Mobulus 11 ай бұрын

One part of Michael's musical genius derives from James Brown's all rhythmical composition which means that MJ composed his songs based on the beat and/or the baseline. Everything he composed, he built on top of those components. So that is why you hear guitars playing some sort of drumlines, or even trumpets getting in the groove, but each and every element has a part, a role of it's own. They don't sound the same, obviosly, they play their own part, which is amazing. Btw, Billie Jean's a story, not only a song, you have to understand it this way. Billie Jean was a groupie involved in a relationship with, let's say, Michael, who pretended to have a child with him, and the melody, the guitarline is exactly the crying part, saying something like „I won't do it again!!”, over and over, „she says HE is the one, but the kid is not my son!”, so on and so forth. So, you have to analyze it in terms of the story. Michael was a storyteller through his music. You won't understand him otherwise.

I think, everyone who is 25+ is able to recognise this song from the first drum note. In 80-s it was very good, some tragic minor tones we can find in "Joy", "Modern Talking", "Arabesque". Its a little sad, that disco music disappeared or changed standards, but this simple and smooth melody is looks like a time machine. Later Michael will try to do the continuous song "Who Is it?", but BJ will stay the most popular song from MJ. Twice his prophecy worked (I can die in my dream in "Love You Again"). Unreal but true. This is a long video, but I was watching with no problems. This is so interesting!!!❤

You have a choir, classical instruments, church bells or something like that. Which I couldn't find in any other music. Today's music has mostly only one beat that always sounds the same. That is so sad. Something like it is shown here in the video makes a song so much more fun and interesting and you can listen to it again and again. Michael's sad prophecy I also recognized a few days ago :(

Thank you so much for this! I've been learning my new recording setup and reverse engineering this gem of a piece is just what I needed!

Really enjoyed this. I have worked in the hi-fi industry for nearly 25 years and we spend our time (and cash!) trying to reproduce and enjoy all these details. Great to hear exactly what's in the mix.

In my opinion these little abrupt stops in his breathing are not only for beat and groove purposes but also a kind of a method that he developed to help him breath.

Fantastic, Chris. Thank you. I’d love you to get hold of the ‘Keep The Faith’ stems! ❤

Merci Chris Liepe pour toutes tes vidéos sur MJ. On croit les connaître par cœur et on découvre avec toi des sons, des voix dont on avait même pas idée qu'ils étaient là. MJ was amazing

Te aconsejo a q escuches con mucha más atención como yo llevo 20años haciéndolo desde la 1ra vez q escuche a Michael y lo hice así q por eso llegué a descubrir prácticamente todos los sonidos, con más razón si tienes los oídos sanos, pues puedes escuchar los sonidos si le pones mucha atención, a diferencia de q si escuchas sin esa atención que se le debe tomar qué aunq este todo junto se puede uno dar cuenta de los sonidos, en eso cambia demasiado la potencia qué se puede descubrir si es que tienes buenos oídos a como pasa conmigo y de mi vista no puedo decir lo mismo, lo pones en unos buenos parlantes, si no son audífonos, no tiene q haber ruido q interrumpa el proceso de poder escuchar bien la canción con la voz y la música de Michael y yo con mucha razón puedo decir que Michael en vivo en conciertos a superado lo q hizo en sus discos, intenta escuchar esta como otras canciones con mucha atención, mucha concentración, qué nada a interrumpa ese poder de la mente que tiene para controlar el poder auditivo y ver la capacidad que pueda tener con sus oídos...

As a songwriter who loves MJ, I love the excitement that you have for discovering these extra sounds that you never heard before and I'm enjoying this the same! And damn, I love the string arrangement!

41:12 I’m glad you brought that up with the vocal shift between “she’s just a girl” and “claims that-”. It’s a vocal shift that is so minuscule that it often gets overlooked but it’s such a good part of the vocal composition transitioning from the build-up to the soft head voice. I wish it was as noticeable in the final studio version but still fun to listen to in the demos nonetheless!

On se rend compte à quel point c'est difficile (et incroyable) de réussir un bon mixage ! Mais avec des génies comme MJ👑 & Q.J..... MJ👑:King of Pop Forever. Love from FRANCE 🇲🇫.
