That Was Honestly A M A Z I N G
That was honestly A M A Z I N G
I started trying to write 14 songs in 28 18 days today
Carry it slowly, so you donât drop it Watch your footing on the floor like it matters that you make it The soundsystem is losing its reception, and itâs cutting out again Trying to lure your attention
Terrified dreams youâve already forgotten Thereâs one every morning of late These days are mostly about the distraction of what you can put on your plate
So donât drop it So donât drop it
Carry it so it doesnât dig into your shoulders Stand as straight as youâre able to, without wiping out Miles stretch behind you but youâve been stuck here for a while Canât finish anything fast enough
Itâs cool, youâve got plans for the weekend The one thatâs always several weeks away Itâs cool, itâs good if you get up early tomorrow Youâre holding it together and trying not to drop it So donât drop it
Canât set it down but keep moving your feet

Just a little correction for On My Own: as seen in the video, itâs âEveryone, everyflock, everyponyâ during the âchorusâ.

Hey, I noticed youâve made some lyrics transcripts of The Standard Model, Iâd like to share what Iâve made way back in 2012. Here are On My Own lyrics http://pastebin.com/u19TxGs2 and A Beautiful Heart http://pastebin.com/hMVcXSp6 Iâve taken a different approach to them, but feel free to modify it to your liking. Have fun!
Oh wow, thanks! I admit the idea of trying to transcribe some of the more heavily spliced SGaP tracks has daunted me, but itâs great to see you took up the challenge!
Just for posterity, Iâve copied these into some google docs, which Iâll provide links to here: Lyrics: On My Own Lyrics: A Beautiful Heart
Tbh I think thatâd be hella rad tho
I wanna make a hymmnos style rendition of Undertaleâs signature themes, but I DONâT HAVE THE TIME.
omfg is this what I think it is
heyâŠ! yall should listen to this, itâs got rhyme flow on it and i did the beat⊠also the rest of the albumâs got some cool stuff w/ a bunch of other artists and itâs been a long time in the making so check it out !
Iâm not sure if this is the case, but Iâm afraid serchumfuggler may have confused quarter tones (which are notes located between 2 semitones, thus not playable on a standard piano) with quarter notes, which refers to the duration of the notes within a given meter signature. As most (if not all) of Sgapâs songs use a standard 4/4 signature, itâs not that surprising to find quarter notes used in them. Meanwhile, quarter tones are a much more interesting thing to notice as they are much morre rarely used in music.
serchumfuggler submitted:
SGaP does indeed use quarter tones very extensively; you can hear them in basically every single one of his songs. two examples would be in the beginning of Dashy / Hearthâs Warming Eve, or halfway through Night Glider, at 1:20-ish. now that iâm listening closely for them, i find that theyâre in, quite literally, nearly every single song of his at one point or another.
in general, SGaP just loves going âoff the beatâ, away from his 4:4 time signature (a 1-2-3-4 beat), to create his songs. if you listen very closely to nearly any of his songs, and count in a 1-2-3-4 rhythm, youâll notice that, although almost nothing seems to match up to the beat, on every 4th beat, a chord ends and another begins, or the percussion plays, or something else changes.
even in places where his songs cut out briefly, or seem to change entirely, the beat usually holds true. for example, at the beginning E40, count a beat every single time the guitar is strummed. when the song drastically changes at around 0:40, youâll find that the beat still holds true, and that notes are indeed played on them, and that when the song âresumes,â it will do so after a 4th note in this 1-2-3-4 beat.
although, he isnât necessarily held back by the 1-2-3-4 beat, either, as iâve noticed. later in E40, where he sings 'where has older sister gone?â youâll find that it no longer holds up. itâs still there, but itâs gone slightly faster, and itâs much harder to find, because of the lack of hints; the only clue is when one 'burstâ of strumming ends, thatâs the fourth note in the beat.
i could give more examples if needed, but thatâs the gist of it, and itâs part of what makes his songs so wonderful and lively to listen to.
Many thanks for this thorough explanation! Especially with such detailed examples. This has really helped me to understand his music a little better, including why it seems so unique, and I think itâs a help to plenty of others, too
