link one song you’d like to share with everyone and give an explanation of why you enjoy it. explanation can be simple or complex, doesn’t matter

i’ll start: my song is the tom and jerry show by hiromi uehara. here is a longer version with a beautiful melodic section in the middle

basically i like it because it’s completely badass haha. extremely virtuosic, in a way that you don’t really see in contemporary (and tonal) solo piano pieces anymore. it’s also incredibly fun and you can tell how into it she is in the first recording. that’s always what’s most impressive to me, when people make slight mistakes but are so in the zone that no one notices and the whole experience is unchanged. the jazz harmonies and rhythms in the melodic section of the second version are just so juicy too.

      tingles are the best dude. like the song, lots of interesting components. that bass line is super wild, the little blips in the higher register that just happen are sick. the chromatic harmony changes in the middle keep things interesting, and the keyboard solo is fun. the whole aesthetic reminds me very much of OFF!, the old french indie game
