should it strictly be jazz?:) or just music in general

Track recommendation

Requesting a review of Ace Combat’s soundtrack once again! It’s crazy good, will undoubtedly impress. I recommend Daredevil (AC7), Mimic: Rage and Scream (AC7), Zero (AC0), and The Liberation of Gracemeria (AC6)

Hey! There's a game I think you might enjoy the music to, the game I'd called genshin impact, and in my opinion is has some of the most enjoyable music of any bit of media I've ever experienced

Persona 5!

This makes sense. Goddamn that thing made SU stop feeling like scripted tv for a min.

Yep! They had to change the story board before they fully animated it because she put her SOUL into that song.

I was not ready for the amount of emotions that song put me through I just had to call it a day and stay in to just cry in bed with it on repeat lol

they screwed her over with that hairline good lord vegeta 2.0

Deedee is a freaking amazing singer.

Nah cause facts💀

that was hot as fuck, but he do be a jazz painist so improv be like. ya, you know

I want him to do a whole cover where he does improve like that!. Love this style of music

Lol, you could tell he was just plain out having fun and enjoying the vibe. That's pure happiness ☺️

I would absolutely listen to a full version

Theres a book???

Yea wasn't a fan of the show but I kept watching just to learn about the world and lore

@@Jeff1tgdsghdehhsf we get it u comment that everywhere

@@pinkbarbie6966 3 times in 3 different discussions and there is more than a single discussions going on if you don't like people taking part in multiple discussions and post on a random youtube video you better get off the internet

@@pinkbarbie6966 Crying about what what's the matter with you?

ikr, i was a little sad that he only checked out the songs and didn't find out just how much musicality is woven into the fabric of the show itself, but i suppose there was little chance of him knowing without actually watching a few episodes

Pearl isn't a "ballerina," she's a night

@@violetrose674 Both? Both, her style is that of a ballerina and she was inspired by one from what I know, the knight part is for when she is fighting but she still keeps that elegance from the ballerina inspiration, she has the shoes that are similar to ballerina shoes

@@violetrose674 a big part of what makes this show great is how it shows that anyone can be (and usually is) multiple things

@@violetrose674knight* and also she’s both

same that song is top tier

i listen to thrash metal and holy fucking shit love like you is SO FUCKING GOOD

Love like u is one of the greatest songs I've heard I feel like crying when I listen to the lyrics so much emotion is put into it

This version is better kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obuehaWd2dybqmg.html

She has a version but the one in the show is Rose's voice actress iirc. Or just a different person. Do correct me if im wrong

lol I’m finally taking the class and it’s def worth it lol cuz now his vids are even more fun to watch haha

You don’t need to know music theory to know good music

@@floridaman7243 i'm talking about the chord vocab

@@Northflowo either way

​@@Northflowo here's some basics to understand in chords we notate each note of a scale with numbers, let's take the C major scale So the notes CDEFGAB Will be notated with each respective numbers, so the tonic (the first note of the scale) would be a 1 so you can notate the notes with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and so on if you go to the next octave [9; 11; 13 ...] So let's take a Cmaj chord as an example [C - E - G] the C would be 1 the E would be 3 and the G would be 5 a 7th is the 7th degree of the scale added to the chord so Cmaj7 would be [C - E - G - B] with B as the 7th If we take a minor scale, like A minor the same thing goes - notes are notated through numbers, but this time, A is the 1, so the 1 3 and 5 would be [A C E] and because it's a minor scale, it will sound minor if numbers in chords are flat or sharp you just raise the degrees up or down by a semitone (the smallest interval in the western temperament) so a C7b9 would flatten both the 7th and 9th degree Now sus chords, Charles made an entire video dedicated to them, so I advise you checking it out! Anyways hope that explains a bit of the chord vocab Music theory is fun! :D

Thats amazing!! The music is definitely the best part of this show!

Had to change the storyboard, animation process is done after the song is already produced

@@TheLocus343 yup I don’t know that much about animation so this checks out.

I keep thinking of amazing stuff too! Escapism, That Distance Shore, Let Us Adore You, Change, the instrumental of Whats the Use of Feeling Blue, Familiar, and even just the backing music.

Giant Woman, Other Friends, True Kinda Love, Lapis Lazuli, Full Disclosure, Be Wherever You Are.

@@kingdanett4043 lapis lazuli!!!!

the outro to the movie was great too

@@rux_99 ok yes, adding Being Human to the list. He should do a part 2.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pMiohJenstmxp5s.html Finally its out..

yeahh everything stays is an amazing one, I love all the songs from these shows

Her live cover of Time Adventure broke me - No offense to BMO but that Uke version was just so much stronger

Came here to say this. It's a slightly different feel but still wonderfully written. Rebecca Sugar is amazing.

Unfortunately she’s a crap writer

And Steven had chiptune for a fairly good while, especially in the earlier episodes. But as he matured and experienced more, the chiptune was replaced.

@@eaglefan2569 maybe ukulele?

@@eaglefan2569 and now it’s an acoustic guitar

Well...just when I thought there was no further way for Steven Universe to blow my mind

@@kenbee1957 For real, how did I never know this. 😳 It's literally genius

This is so sweet, what an awesome thing to share with someone you love!

Susan Egan, voice of Rose and famous Broadway actress and singer

Lisa Hannigan did a voice as well

Christine Ebersole as well!

WHO DID NICKI VOICE?

@@sewshoww Sugilite.

Undoubtedly, while people hate on the show for the rushed ending and lack of build up the show does some really good things. It has flaws throughout sure but the emotional lessons and music are top notch. As a man I can appreciate this show for what it brings

@@bruiseleeroy7010 I do need to disagree on the emotional lessons part. I liked the show, but it ruined itself a lot, and not to mention a lot of weird choices made by the main cast. The only arc I feel had the best follow through was peridots, as it wasn’t retconned, ruined, dragged on, or forgotten while it happened and afterwords. Garnet for example, was excellent up until after the fusion reveal because they left her character development sort of in the dust and made odd decisions regarding her established character in later episodes. But yeah, banger songs

I really like the lore of the world I kept watching just so I can get info on what happen to the world around them not a fan of the show per say but I liked the world and lore

I can deny their music sucks

@@slyp5409 the (emotional or not) lessons of that show are top notch, stop being dense

Agreed. Like in Finale from SU the Movie, there's a part where Pearl sings and sorta overtakes the part, it's where she goes "Here we are, Here we are, come so far", that last note is just so powerful and really shows the strength of Pearl's VA's voice. Shame she didn't get any more solo songs, unused potential imo

Also when she is rebooted

For real????

@@khalilboutira1177 Yeah!! It's crazy

**redraw the storyboard

"Other friends" is SO good.... My favorite is "what can I do for you"... Wish he'd do that!!

Yes pleaaaase, make this happen~

What can I do for you would make a good pub song

"Independent together" PLEASE

YES

yes!

It reminds me of Ben Folds Five

@@Margar02 I think it sounds more like bens solo work, Ben folds five is more rock

@@rarecrom maybe. But there is some really harmonically jazzy stuff on whatever and ever amen

I will always hv a goosebumps whenever Live like you played

I disagree. Instead, it should set a new standard for what a kids' cartoon can be. Children do appreciate this kind of substance, effort and beauty! It's a shame that for so long, media producers felt it was fine to just half ass entertainment because they didn't consider children worth any of that. While watching the show there were so many moments where I cried and said "I wish someone had told/shown me this as a child! I needed to know! I needed to know but nobody told me!" And it made me happy for all the children who will grow up understanding these things. For all the kids who will tell their loved ones when they struggle with scary stuff because Steven showed them that you loved ones want to know how you feel, even if it's a lot for them to deal with! All the children who will clock deception because Pearl made a horrible, inexcusable mistake. All the children who will know the difference between love and infatuation because Garnet cleanly rebuffed the guy with a crush on her. This cartoon is SO GOOD because it was made for kids, but with respect and effort!

@@Broeckchen Agreed, but.... that's a HIGH standard to set as the average. I doubt we will have another show on the level of SU for quite some time, although, oddly enough, Centaurworld came close....

@@Preirin I felt like She-Ra came close too, and Owl House is also fantastic!

@@Broeckchen Ive been meaning to watch Owl House. Heard nothing but great things. Like Gravity Falls

@@Preirin I HIGHLY recommend it. It's absolutely excellent!

I know right?

In the finale, there's a shot done by James Baxter, (an infamous guest animator), it's this smooth rotation and it looks absolutely amazing

@@expandingsalad786 someone says James Baxter and all I can think of is the Adventure Time horse named after him

@@hcxpl1 Not just named! Animated and played by as well :D

@@Broken_Whispers just amazing how adventure time named the best character after a real person and that real person animated it too, just amazing

Well I don’t like all the songs maybe only one I forgot which one but I know it’s there

What other jazz songs are like steven universe?

YESS awaltzforluma forever

Yeah, definitely give credit to those two. They don't get enough shine

Honestly I'm kind of disappointed he didn't acknolwedge Aivi and Surasshu

Absolutely amazing work

Rekcahdam also did drumming on quite a few songs.

For real.... I remember at a point in time when I wondered what the full song would sound like.

Yeah!! I wanna say it’s called a trio? I love that song so much I think it was perfectly executed!! :)

I do agree that it's a great song, but the thing that bothers me is that whte diamonds singing is way to loud. You can kind of hear yellow, but blue's voice is totally lost in the mix

I think you're referring to counterpoint right? In this case homophony

@@noelzettergren8432 I think that’s kind of the point character-wise. That’s the power hierarchy of the diamonds !

Yup! Rebecca Sugar wrote some of these songs fully, but most of them she wrote the lyrics, and aivi and surasshu wrote the melody and everything else, and performed the instrumentals

Instrumental Steven Universe music is so soothing and calming. Reminds me of the Night in the Woods ost, perfect for on a rainy day when you're just chilling

Dude that just compounded with the later season's reveal too.

Also “Here Comes a Thought” is straight up cognitive behavioural therapy in song form.

all Pearl songs are amazing, and all the fusion sequences with her involved

"It's over isn't it" is a banger, and is even better when you hear the story of how they had to re-draw some of the scene/storyboard because Deedee Mango Hall went harder than they expected.

couldn't agree more!! Please make a part 2, cause there are so much more (even better) songs in Steven Universe!!

and escapism! love like you reprise!! so much more.

@@phebz4213 YES! Love like you reprise is one of my favorite songs of the entire show, the build up and the escalation and the climax and THE ENDING HHHHHHHHH song makes me go insane

Escapism is so good!!!

I agree. I want to see a part two with this song and 'Let Us Adore You'

she makes good music, not so much stories

@@yoloboogie3674gotta disagree, SU was great from start to finish. I think it got a bad rap because it got rushed at the end but that wasn’t Sugar’s fault. And future just blew me away, you don’t see that kind of intense character study in animation often

@@legoboy468 i cant hear you over the 4 months of continuous filler episodes

oh 100%, having skills in a bunch of different stuff makes it so you can intertwine each thing with purpose. This show has some beautiful visuals, beautiful audio, and a beautiful story

Sameeeeee

is this a jeremy passion reference?

for me it's kinda like hot chocolate in the winter

I hope so, I love Jeremy Passion!

@jskatemMusic - replied to the wrong person

Im glad someone else noticed this, Ive been considering making a mashup or something

@@PTSD_Guts unfortunately, you'd be way behind the curve on that mashup. There's already a really popular Stronger than you, Just the two of us, and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger mashup song and I doubt no one has tried it without that third one

@@k54ltyd28 maybe they're talking about SU, not SU Future

@@k54ltyd28 the last episode of original steven universe (not future) was january 2019, so its been 3 years since small red shirted steven

The four main characters also have a music genre/style related to them!

musically Steven universe is amazing but everything else not so much

@@orangesunshine7666 I love the show, it got me when I watched with my kids some od the episodes, especialy the ending of the season five and the movie, it is so simple yet powerful.

@@orangesunshine7666 Mostly agree, for me it was great until season 4 and it was a steady down from there, with some notable exceptions/episodes

And it all comes together when they fuse!

OH OH please let me talk about its development over the years because holy shit its art! For the first few seasons, we get the simple love like you melody and rebecca singing the lyrics. The first seasons are always referred to as the most lighthearted ones, since we're joined with Steven still learning everything about the gems and his powers. However as later seasons progress bringing along the plot developments of homeworld gems, pink diamond being shattered, and steven slowly uncovering Rose's past as one that wasn't as heroic as he made it out to be, "love like you" is straight up removed as an end credits song! Its instead replaced with these ominous instrumentals that's usually associated with homeworld. Diamond synths, a discordant piano melody, electric drums mixed in. You're drawn to a sense of dread as to where the story is going - after all, you started off love like you and now you get this? BUT with the heart of the crystal gems special, after Steven learns of his mom's nature and the diamonds come to earth, the end credits shift again - the final swings of the unfamiliar space orchestra dies away and we return to an opening swell of "Love Like You" playing again! Its cathartic! After years of not hearing it, we are literally given a return to the shows roots in one of the most important episodes in the show. The entire piece literally describes the flow of the story, with each section divided up to certain developments that we the audience undergo with steven. From that wonderful introduction, to pestering doubt, and finally a return to the familiar - a whole message of love and acceptance.

I remember people piecing all the snippets together on SoundCloud lol changed my life

@@kingsaracoon9594 yes!!! its so goooodddd

Love like you is the most genius song in the whole show IMO. The fact that you can interpret the song from different characters' perspective, it's beautiful.

Completely different show. MMC was a live-action variety show. DeeDee's last season was the season they had her, Keri Russell, JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Cristina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling.

Not at all, that song and Finale literally make me start to cry whenever I play them. It's weird, because I practically grew up alongside Steven, so finally seeing their story come to an end was just heartwrenching, and bittersweet

wow i had no idea!! i always wondered why where were so many songs in that episode and why they were so incredible!! obviously every other song is amazing too but just wow Mr. Greg knocked it out of the park!!

I still think Mr. Greg is Steven Universe's magnum opus

Hate to be that guy, but its dopamine, not serotonin. Serotonin is mood control, while dopamine is the happy chemical

@@sofanofafalafel2890 oh, alright then, thanks for the fun fact.

@@tylermccaw8092 yeah, I didn't want to be rude or condescending, I just want to educate

@@sofanofafalafel2890 oh don’t worry, if anything I really was educated, and I appreciated the correction.

The Black Box was probably my favorite album that I found last year

I still listen to that album..i heard that album way before binging Steven universe and when i did watch, I had no idea who composed the music for it but the tone was so familiar.

Love Like You is AMAZING!

prolly cuz it was an ending

Also wow this was long.

Agreed. Even without knowing the context, the songs hit home on their own, but knowing the story behind them just makes them so much stronger. My first time hearing some of the songs like "Love like you", "Here comes a thought", "That distant shore", I was legit tearing up from them

Like, complex jazzy stuff in a few places.
