In this month's case study, I analyze 'Run Away With Me' by Carly Rae Jepsen, best known for 'Call Me Maybe' and her 2015 album EMOTION. Turns out it's the best pop song of the decade (if not the century), but there are some really interesting reasons as to why. Enjoy!
Do you agree? Do you disagree? Do you think Crazy Frog's 'Axel F' is better? Let me know why in the comments!
(P.S. I meant to say "F# major" instead of F when discussing the chords, apologies to all offended key signatures.)
(P.P.S The minor 2nd harmony in the last chorus is actually a major 2nd between F# and G# - sorry for misspeaking!)

@gintuner4371 4 жыл бұрын

Okay, but "I really like you" could be one of the worst songs of the decade. I don't understand why she is so overhyped tbh. She has some good songs. And some good variety, but there are some plain annoying and cheesy songs, even for the pop genre.

@MrDarren690 4 жыл бұрын

@@gintuner4371 If you keep looking at CRJ through the lens of "Call Me Maybe girl", maybe it's no wonder you don't understand her. I think it's best to let go of preconceived notions like that especially when dealing with a stylistically different album (Emotion in this case) from her EP. But hey, it's not my place to tell you to enjoy her music.

@Doomsterlobster 4 жыл бұрын

Eh, I Really Like You has a silly chorus (although I think that bright-eyed, girl-next-door pop aesthetic is part of her thing), but there's nothing wrong with the song musically. I've even warmed up to Call Me Maybe (although the album has better songs, like This Kiss and Tiny Little Bows). Carly is awe-inspiring in how consistently good she is. (Although I'm a little disappointed with Dedicated Side B: it's decent but feels uninspired.)

@Nameless_mixes 4 жыл бұрын

I Really Like You may be a cheesy song with repetitive lyrics, but the instrumental is amazing in my opinion! It’s fun, upbeat, powerful in the chorus, etc. And there are so many songs that’re are a much stronger contender for worst of the decade if you ask me.

"Run Away With Me" is one of those songs that REALLY gets you thinking about that person you love. Dragging them across the world or letting them drag you. The verses feel like those small intimate moments with them, the hotel room and the small coffee shops. And when the snare hits it feels like you're in time square with them just dancing together and looking at every billboard, and most importantly, them. A small detail that I love is that this song can be sung by any gender for any gender with nothing needing change for a natural sound to the words. It may not have been intentional on Carly's part considering the year this came out, but if it was, bless that woman's soul. It's all "you", no "He" or "She", cause in this song it doesn't matter what they are, just that you love them and are romantically requesting to run away with them. I fucking love that.

This song is not that complex. You could imagine chord voicings (the sus2 thingy he mentioned) are seasonings for a food, and used right with a good food (song) itself, the results could be very enjoyable. But for this song, although the seasonings themselves are “odd” for usual, the food itself isn’t any outstanding at all, therefore you don’t feel the greatness of the seasonings because the final product just isn’t impressive, and there is a reason why you don’t hear it on radio.

Incidental note about the "missing tonic" in the progression: In addition to the vocals constantly implying an F# triad, the G#7sus2 at the end of the cycle shares all but the third from F#6/9, a fairly classic jazz tonic tension, meaning that there is *something* of a dominant-to-tonic resolution in terms of the raw pitch content... but it's hidden, pent up, missing key pieces, with the motion instead implying a more muted plagal cadence in the Dorian mode-for when natural minor just isn't cutting it in the heartbreaking department. All of this, I feel, really adds to the mix of frustration, resignation, wistfulness and aching longing that the song conveys, and is overall just a really clever bit of musical storytelling.

I think it depends on how you're judging complexity. In sheer terms of stuff to talk about (keys, chords, harmony, time, form, etc.) I wouldn't say this song or most pop is particularly complex, but complexity isn't really the point; it's more about the musical storytelling, which is subtle and artistic even if it's not complex. I like tons of complex music (lots of jazz, classical, prog), but not BECAUSE it's complex, but because of what it does with that complexity. It's no different than "simple" pop music like this. I guess I'm saying I care more about the painting that the complexity or simplicity of the tools and technique that went into painting it, as everyone should IMO.

I did not like Call Me Maybe. I pretty much wrote Carly Rae Jepsen off because of that one song. Then This song popped up and I had no idea who it was, but I was in awe. I'm already not a pop fan. So to find a pop song I not only liked, but thoroughly enjoyed and wanted to finally break the repeat button, I was so ecstatic. Most of Emotion (with the exception of the song mentioned and maybe one other) is absolutely amazing. I listen to it a lot. Also, peep those lyrics. I love the playfulness in the lyrics. Suggestive, not overly in your face. She doesn't just say, "I'm in love" I know a lot of songs do this, but the way she expresses it is just so good. I'm glad I gave her another chance.

It was such a pleasure watching this video - not only is CRJ the saviour of modern pop but seeing the amount of knowledge and research you've put into making of this video really drew me into it and established a new basis for why I love this song so much. So thank you! Keep up the great work! :^)

KZfaq algorithm really nailed it this time, idek who you are, some of your concepts went over my head a bit, but the passion and humour with which you express your analysis of this fire song are just fantastic. Really cool video.

Prelude: I don’t listen to top 40 or really any modern music. At 40-something, pretty sure my music tastes stopped sometime in the early 2000’s. But this video alone was engaging, informative, and entertaining enough to make my truly appreciate both this song and Carly Rae Jepson in general. Both Run Away with Me and Comeback are now on regular rotation for me. Thanks mate, appreciate it.

I have not yet watched this video but I have to thank you for making it anyways. There's something about this song that reached into a free spirited place in my soul and no one around me gets it. Thank you for getting it.

Thanks for breaking down that chord progression! I was racking my brain trying to figure out why it works so well

My favorite song of all time. This was an incredible study!!! Also, I definitely knew the chorus was louder 😂

IMHO, the chorus from Paparazzi by Lady Gaga is the greatest vocal harmony in pop history.

I can’t get this song from my head after my playlist play this song recently. And thanks for your video now I will blast this song all over the neighborhood and this will be the anthem for quarantine until I bored with it ha ha

@oliver3401 4 жыл бұрын

You make a really good point about the way the chorus shatters our expectations and reveals a much larger space than was assumed! I think that this hints at the way RAWM (and Emotion as a whole) emphasizes this expansiveness of feeling- of your emotions being too large for you to handle (you can see this in the album's definition of it, where it shows how emotions are "instinctive" and hard to control). Too-big feelings are a popular theme in pop music, but I think Emotion is unique in how it carries this theme through into the melody (not just the lyrics) and in how it coalesces around a rather tragic view of that theme.

Yesterday was my first time hearing this song while on shuffle. Now I'm a casual listener of Carly's popular hits (and western wind) but the algorithm gods must've wanted me to hear this masterpiece. . . and let me tell you I've never stopped doing dishes so fast just to save this song to a playlist cause i immediately fell in love with the intro and didn't want to lose the song amidst the shuffle like- AND IT MADE ME EXPLORE OTHER E•MO•TION TRACKSSSS THIS SONG IS CRAZYYYY GOOD

I came across this video years ago, just barely started it but got pulled away and always meant to come back to finish it - FINALLY made it back (because it stuck with me this long, which says something already!) and it did not disappoint! Loved the insights and the delivery! XD
