Who Says Dynamics Are Dead

JDN · 9th June 2006

Just a Happy Observation. The song "lost" on the current Cure CD, "The Cure" is Literally musically the same 2 bars for the entire 4minutes and 7 seconds.

It's the dynamics of the players, the building of the drums, the guitars become more aggressive, both part wise and playing wise. More Layers are added, but really, it's the same instruments and same 2 bars! I guess we can thank mastering and Mixing for also not ruining the spirit of the song. Anyway, even if you aren't a cure fan, check this out, I knew I really liked this song and just got around to analyzing it tonight and thought it was quite clever to build a song exclusively by dynamics rather than parts(although the drummer obviously performs several different parts)
