I really never heard of that. Can you explain?

I never heard of that, too, and my knowledge isn't able even to talk about "common" key changes XD

Something tells me I should know what that means, but I don't

It might be referring to key changes like...well, I can't think of a good example, but when you start off in G minor and then change the key to C minor, then to F minor, etc. - those keys are related, because C minor is a key that's "connected" to G minor, with most of the notes used in those two keys being the same.

I don't know if the term applies to that sort of key change, though. I've picked up most of my musical "knowledge" from listening to things, so I have very little knowledge of terminology

 

[Cerise]

^...oh, thanks, I see, I think I get it

 

[Cerise]

Dug this up to ask...

How exactly do you define the 'bridge' of a song? So far I just go by what everyone else says...

/apologises for musical ignorance

 

[aero.senpai]

^No need to apologise...that can be really confusing sometimes Well, I myself can not explain precisely how do you define a bridge...I go for elimiation process: to me, there is verse, "pre-chorus" (don't know if said part have a proper name), chorus, solo section, and intro/"outro"...if it doesn't fit in any of said categories, then I call it a bridge

/me apologises for useless reply

 

[Cerise]

^ oh, thanks aero... I think I'll just continue to follow what the musical-smart people say...I don't think I'd be able to tell even the 'pre-chorus', 'solo section' and 'bridge' apart...in my head it's just: VERSE. CHORUS. IN-BETWEEN BITS.

 

[aero.senpai]

^If it has been working fine so far, then there is no problem "In-between bits" LOL

Haha almost the same for me, but I have bridge included

 

[aero.senpai]

^So, can you explain to her how to define a bridge?

Er, well. Let's take Anna ni Issho Datta no Ni as an example.
Verse:

arifureta yasashisa wa
kimi wo toozakeru dake
tsumetaku kirisuteta kokoro wa
samayou bakari
sonna kakkowarusa ga ikiru to iu koto nara
samuzora no shita me wo tojite iyou

Bridge:

anna ni issho datta no ni
kotoba hitotsu tooranai kasoku
shiteiku senaka ni ima wa
anna ni issho datta no ni
yuugure wa mou chigau iro
semete kono
tsukiakari no shita de
shizuka na nemuri wo

Chorus:

kokoro wa doko ni iru?
doko ni fukarete iru?
sono hitomi ga mayowanu you ni

Important notice: Alphie knows little about music and she's probably wrong defining these things

 

[ninetales]

^ Um...actually, Alphie, I think you've reversed the chorus and the bridge

See, the "anna ni issho datta no ni" part is repeated after each verse, so that would qualify as the chorus; however, "kokoro wa doko ni iru" is a different part that comes directly before the final choruses and has a unique melody all its own, so I think of that (as well as the previous part, with either Chiaki's "ah" or Kala's English) as the bridge.

Re:

Ah, ok, thanks. I'd thought the same way before, but I came across somebody's post in which the author was talking about a chorus but calling it "brigde". It made me think I was wrong

THERE IS SOMEBODY THAT CAN EXPLAIN WHAT A BRIDGE IS! And it wasn't that hard Thanks, niney

What are 'augmented key changes'? Someone mentioned it somewhere (I forgot lol )

I used to hear the word "augmented" before since my late twin brother used that term often. If I remember correctly, it's prolonging or lengthening notes. ugh I guess I should research about it too.

here's an example: I circled them but I guess it's not that visible



Correct me if I'm wrong.
