Im leaving this comment here because everytime I listen to this I start to tear up more and more. So this might be the last time I listen to this band which is sad but life is not to remember bad moments but keep those good ones in your head. Remember people, these songs are the closest things we have to time machines as they remind us of the good parts in our childhood. I love you guys so much and never forgot that you made peoples childhoods that much brighter!

@watchthiscrap 3 жыл бұрын

This will surprise you. The OK Go one-shot is actually pretty fascinating, here's why... The reasoning, is that it actually relates to how most *music* is created. Band members make all the individual riffs, or segments of music, separately (kind of like how films piece together many individual shots). Then add them all together (in music, like in film editing) . *But* the interesting aspect, that most people are not aware of, is that the majority of bands do not even learn to play the songs all together at one single time to even record the album. Much like a single shot in a movie, this actually comes afterwards. So the more difficult, or time consuming part, is actually learning how to play it all together, at one time, for live audiences (like a continuous no-edit one-shot in film). Basically the one continuous shot, really is the visual framework for music, when it's ready to be played live after it's been produced. 🎶🎵🎹🎸🥁🎺🎻🎬
