- Disappear
- Songwriting
- rhyme scheme
- verse & chorus: ABAA
- A: "fears"/"here", "disappeared"
- bridge: A
- "real", "heal", "disappear"
- repetition of words and/or melody ("yeah, that shit's disappeared" x5) can create atmosphere & lend emphasis
- for development, after the 2nd time Bea varies the melody – it leads into an instrumental break
- or interspersed between an ongoing musical motif/solo ("please come back")
- Production & Instrumentation
- atmospheric synth thing? guitar strum heavily delayed
- xylophone countermelody
- lots of little ear candy to fill out the spectrum around the guitar
- vocals are reverbed pretty heavily
- lofi drums – layered with acoustic?
- rimshot is especially layered
- Apple Cider
- Songwriting
- introduce title early
- contrast – "apple cider" and "fruit punch"
- repetition by couplet
- "it's really nice to talk to you / it's really nice to hold your hand"
- "and even if we're just friends / we could be more than that"
- repeating words
- "you said you liked this jumper i wore / so i always wore it"
- Production & Instrumentation
- kill music on "f**k" for emphasis
- xylophone countermelody
- instrumental break 2x, fill, 1x, silence, next verse with same melody
- lots of cheery electric
- loud and active bass sliding up and down
- light sandy drums and cymbals. kind of a break-beat going?
- Soren
- Songwriting
- mid-line rhymes
- "Miss your hair / I like the way you stare most of the time"
- 2 lines rhyming with no particular pattern
- "And if there was a place I had to choose / Or a memory, that faith that I cannot lose"
- "Are like the leaves in the summer / And it changes with the weather" ... "When you slightly lose your temper"
- song is really built around the chorus (devotion to Soren repeating), the verses describe what she loves about Soren (varied)
- Production & Instrumentation
- atmospheric synth that fades in
- acoustic guitar layered low + high capo
- ¾ time signature
- jazz brush hitting snare on 2 and 3
- synth louder pedal tone going into chorus
- 'ooooo' / strings pad?
- before final chorus, EQ'd piano for countermelody
- orchestral strings ending (kind of obviously MIDI but pretty enough)
- Chord Progression
- Verse: I-IV
- Chorus: IV-V-IV-V-IIIm-IV-I
- Ceilings
- Songwriting
- so much anaphora ("love me like", "let the") BUT melodic variation
- minor/diminished on "ceilings were so high"
- jumping octaves - ceilings high means the melody goes up, then the nature stuff goes an octave lower closer to the earth
- Production & Instrumentation
- opening ambience fades in (like train tracks?)
- am i crazy or does it change pitch... yes it does
- gets louder just before vocal comes in then softens a bit (basically side-chained to the vocal?)
- picked acoustic guitar
- vocal 'oooo' pads
- another 2 picked acoustic layers in the chorus including one arp-ish hammer-on-pull-off layer
