I really missed out on this one. My early childhood was a bunch of Sonic games, street fighter, outrun and some battleship game

Holy hell. You’re actually incredibly enlightening to music language. I feel interested in learning to read music after watching your video.

Not entirely sure what's wrong? Song sounds good

One of the greatest game ever made with most likely the best soundtrack ever written. I remember playing it back in the day and thinking "this music is insane." Even today it's phenomenal. Hence the remake.

Wrong track... The intro song is the GOAT

Favorite example of something that’s just 4/4 with weird tempo changes is Strong One Masked Man from Mother 3. Sounds like it could be in 29/16, but it’s actually just 4/4

Remember playing this game with my best friend, oh my, oh my, the nostalgia.

As someone with 0 music background but a Streets of Rage fan since as long as I can remember, it's so cool to see someone *with* that musical background pick apart exactly what makes SOF's music so damn special.

I’ve never even owned a GTA game and I can confidently say San Andreas wins by a county fucking mile.

Welcome to game music! This was my childhood.

I'm latino, and, well, I have a lot nostalgia for the latin spanish version, but the english version of this song is my absolute favorite. I dont think it's the best version, but it's oje that sets me in the right mood every single time.

You shaved, that's what happened.

I through it was nirvana

Dreamworks is an incredible intro

Surprised you haven’t done Mortal Kombat yet.

That's amazing, such a beautiful and iconic theme. Thank you for this analysis Charles!

If you ever get a chance, check Actraiser soundtrack from Super Nintendo

peak music in general

Can you review Rudy Mancuso’s music to his new movie? His song “música” is particularly interesting

Reminds me of a lot of the music from Atlas games, specifically Persona and Cathrine

5:31 sounds so emo

This guy, for sure was a huge fan of Yes.

super mario 2 overworld theme pls u gona like it

I said “scales” with you in the saddest tone 😢

This song reminds me of Battletoads & Double Dragon level 2 music.

Sounds like Tim was a fan of Emerson, Lake and Palmer as well as Yes.

7:15 the quality analysis we came for... you kind of do have to do a little extra homework to break down Tim Follin, apparently.

Wizards and Warriors 3 (David Wise) had a dope sound track, it goes so hard that it uses the games sound effect slots for the music and when a sound effect happens part of the music cuts out lol

I feel like the best theme is San Andreas and the most iconic one is going to be GTA v

This mf said one piece opening has sus chords

Iconic game`s sountrack: Unreal Tournament...pick some Foregone Destruction...or else...didn`t find it in Your movies...

i dont know anything at all about music theory so this video sucked with a guy talking about all the music stuff without me getting anything, but thanks for reminding me to replay the game.

No wonder he doesn't practice piano. He's been lifting instead. He got JACKED.

Hey Charles! Love your stuff, would love to see you do an analysis of Meta Knight’s Revenge. I particularly like the Smash Bros version, and 8-bit Big Band’s version won a Grammy just 2 years ago

There is so much depth and nuance to this song that can’t be perceived by your path…OUR…our pathetic human ears. Perhaps we just don’t understand the culture of a vastly more evolved and stronger life form. We should all just put down our arms, and accept the Robots as our new perfect overlords.

I saw a while ago a MVG video on trackers and tracker music, and ever since that expanded my appreciation for early chiptune music. I wasn't prepared for Tim Follins tho.

My favorite game of all time. Favorite soundtrack of all time. This game is a classic!!!

Thanks for this great advice! For those of us who are composers and songwriters, how would you recommend taking your practice advice for performers and applying it to composing?

when I first heard pyramid song it took me a long time to hear it as 4/4

I love your passion. I agree it is a most beautiful song and so, so cleverly constructed. I am an amateur musician, but dont read or play piano....but the fact remains, when we hear solid gold, we know it. Just becsure to olay the whole song through in the video!!! We are all gasping and gagging for it out here!! 😢

Take a look at "The Last Ninja" or "The Last Ninja 2" for the Commodore-64. It can make 2 regular notes which could each be different instruments and a 3rd channel that could be white-noise that could work as percussions. Here is a sample: ua-cam.com/video/1ok1ChTtWQI/v-deo.html

I’ve never felt so seen by a UA-cam video.

This song is known in this New Generation because it's the most Beautiful Classical Song Right??? Agree???

I dont when first heatd this song, probably a movie, I know i know This Song Because of the Evil Within Videogame, i see people reaction for this music for as the most beautiful song ever and i agree! I think pretty much this song is the most famous on This Generation and Young Geeneration because is the most beautiful classical song i ever heard, and many agree but not eveybody, i say this is not an complex song with many more notes per second like Beethoven's Hits lol, But i believe Clair de Lune is the most beautiful.

You should check out the Shovel Knight soundtrack! The composer, Jake Kaufman, wrote the soundtrack within the confines of only 5 bits, like the OG NES games. Some of the songs he made for the game are insane. Hidden by Night from the Specter of Torment is definitely one of his best, especially when you consider the story of the game along with it.

Best game soundtrack ever is Wolfchild for Amiga

I think this chord was also used for ghe samsung 2019 ringtone. Now you know!

I love it too. Isnt it insane?

I'll never not be amazed by how such harmonies seem to be so alien to western listeners. I'm Bulgarian, and when I look up 'dissonant choral music', about half of the results are choirs singing traditional Bulgarian music. Which is not that harmonically dissimilar to what these ladies are doing in the first piece. However, to me it sounds completely natural (I'm not even a fan of Bulgarian folk music so it's not like I'm listening to it for fun, and therefore, I'm not listening to a lot of it). It may be because I've been hearing similar sounds all around me regardless of whether I like it or not. The rythmical complexities also seem pretty natural to me. I think that, as you mentioned, this music comes from African tradition. And I assume all around the world people have developed these musical traditions which, when compared to modern mainstream music, seem to be rather complex and strange, but in reality they were mostly created by people with no formal musical training, and are just what came naturally to people. I think this type of harmonic and rythmical structures are really what comes naturally to people all over the world if they have no prior conditioning, but 'the west' (of course I'm generaising) has been heavily conditioned to seek a certain type of straightforward feel in music which feels 'right'...
