Of all the people you could associate killing me softly with why the fugees?

Peter Leventis

I will always pick anything other than Smooth. Although if/when it gets picked, you'd do a great analysis. I guess the song as always grated

Gregory Schultz

I love the arrangement of “Uptown Girl”—especially how Joel seamlessly moves the melodic line from chorus/turn (“She’ll see I’m not so tough just because I’m in love with an…”) into each verse (“…uptown girl.”)

'Cause I like it better than the Roberta Flack version and I'm not super familiar with the Lori Lieberman version?

Sean Flynn

Would you consider Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas at some point in the future?

12tonevideos

Yeah, that one's been on my list for a long time! I'm sure I'll get around to it at some point.

Favrion The Man

Hey, Uptown Girl was my submission. Yay.

Brock Singleton

If you're gonna analyse a SoaD track, you should analyse Highway Song from Steal This Album. Sure it's a bit of back-catalogue but it has the kind of weird chord progression that doesn't fit into common models of western harmony, that I think you would really love to sink your teeth into.

Kevin Mullan

Fair enough. Cant say I care for the Fugees version myself but to each their own

Brian Miller

A little doo-wop would be a nice thing to talk about. I think he's talked about that or a similar musical styles recently.

Favrion The Man

I submitted it because of the key changes.

Brian Miller

Ha! I knew when I decided to support you, that picking the next song to analyze would be futile for me! I just don't follow pop culture. Yes, I've heard Uptown Girl played at me. Hated it. I've heard Killing Me Softly, but not by the Fugees. I had to take a look at Smooth before I remembered it. Chop Suey, uh, nope, definitely never heard that one. Pop culture: uh, there was The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons Project, uh, ... "Hangman" by somebody or other, something that opens with a guitar going da da da da daah daah da da da da daah daah, ... ... and I guess I'll just get back to studying Arvo Pärt and Alfred Schnittke now ...

Kashmir by Led Zeppelin does so many things I hardly know what to ask about. The driving beat with elements that don't follow it, the weird Mid-Eastern counter-scale in the strings...

James Gilliland

I love the Roberta Flack version, I even think it might be better, less intense longing and more wistful remembrance. Going back and comparing them again, Loretta is just awesome and there are great callbacks and there's some great things going on in the music. I look forward to hopefully it topping one of these lists! :-D
