It can be remarkable to learn how much (or how little) has gone into the making of a song - either from a more theoretical post-production perspective or tracing a more organic process as I recently discovered watching an analysis of (a slightly different kettle of fish) "I'm not in love"(10cc). Can't remember why I researched it a few months back, but the analysis of the "bleeding together" was interesting to me; for a non-musician to hear how something "happens" (to thank the gods for) for the musicians that tells them when it's right (or Great).
I grew up on the 10cc song but paid it little attention as it wafted past in the background on the radio, and it must have been a curious prompt (in a film perhaps?) for me to have picked it up and given it a closer listen when I did. Something new must have struck me.
It is often something harmonic hidden in the midrange, I concluded, and Rick has some interesting things to corroborate that.
There is a lot more to hear in the Boston song, which I have (of course) also heard before, but I wouldn't have guessed without this theoretical analysis. Love such picking aparts, which leave you with a more complete song once you put it back together again.
Great source of music theory on Ricks channel! He digs music.
