The Chord at 8:12 is a Bbadd11 Chord, if I´m not completely mistaken. What makes it even more interesting is that to fit in the key of the song it should be a minor chord, the minor parallel to be exact, but they decided to make it major, which is quite typical for 80s music, but very uncommon in todays usual pop music.

The chord for minute 8:07 is Bb 11 It is a Major chord but with the tension of the eleventh (equivalent to the fourth) that is not resolved, it is like a chord in suspension, which waits for a resolution towards the third that never arrives, it remains as in the air. The interesting thing is that it does not become a suspended chord, since it also has the third, and it is like a particular coexistence that is generated between both notes, the third and the eleventh. Beautiful chord, Greetings from Argentina ... very good video!

It's a BbAdd11 because it's missing the Ab which would act as the dominant 7th, the addition of the Eb being the 4th/11th is without it's dominant 7th note (Ab) making the chord an Add 11 rather than an 11 chord.

last chord is a simple Eb major chord (III in the key of C minor), just with a simple suspended 4 on top giving it that kind of head-tilting anticipation of its resolution down to g, but we never really get that. A more complex way of naming that chord could be a Ebadd11, although I don't like this spelling as much as it doesn't imply the function of that Ab very well, as well as most major chords utilize a #11 to sound resolved.

the original is made + sound-designed and probably overworked/mixed/mastered with a bunch of analog gear, which gives it a unique texture which is (to me) impossible to remake with just software

@scars6300 3 жыл бұрын

also, although the remake is amazingly made some sounds may have been closer to the original (the chorus lead lacks of decay in my opinion), and the muffled sub-bass on the verse is actually a distorted 808 in the original, the drum samples may have been better too imo
