The frequency of the drums sounds like it could be ranging from 80Hz- 500Hz, as to me it sounds a bit thumpy but boxy at the same time. The drums in the chorus are mainly using the kick, snare, and hi-hat, except for the lead up in which it uses kick, snare, toms and cymbal. The drums start sounding warmer at fifty-seven seconds (just before the chorus). As for the frequency of hi-hats, I believe that the frequency range is around 2kHz. I believe that the frequency of the kick drum in the first verse is around 60-80Hz as it sounds like more of a thump. At thirty-five second the Hi-hats start to have characteristic and are more noticeable in the mix, and the kick drum becomes much punchier yet not too punchy.
The kick and Hi-hat sit nicely together in the mix, not overpowering over the other instruments and both sound very gentle and silky. The variation goes from soft and silky to a powerfully warm and silky tone. The drums on this track are more constant than diverse.
The saxophone is also panned to the right side during the entirety of the song. Lastly, the saxophone exists at the end of the song which is from three minutes 40seconds to four minutes. This one section of the song starts at two minutes and fifty-two seconds, the saxophone comes back in for a short three seconds and then the saxophone goes back to the previous structure. The same structure for where the instrument is in the song is the same throughout its entirety, except for one section of the song. Then during the chorus, it goes back to a mid-range tone creating more of an emotional, heartbreaking vibe. This saxophone could possibly be a baritone saxophone because of how deep it sounds. The saxophone is brought back in at forty-eight seconds but at fifty-six seconds the tone changes from a mid-high range down too an even deeper/darker sounding saxophone. According to mpltech the low note for the alto sax is F3 and the high note is D5, therefore have an octave range of three to six octaves. (General Information, Facts & Tables, 2009) Now the type of saxophone that could have been used in the song is an Alto saxophone. The tone of the saxophone is very low and smooth, that provides more emotional impact at the start of the song. This instrument then fades out at twelve seconds. The saxophone is first introduced during the start of the song, it is faded in at four seconds and is more noticeable and five seconds. The music video for this song shows that this song was never intended to be a love song. “It was the end of a relationship for me, and it was also an admission of my inability to function in a relationship, hence the love suicide line.” “I’ll be love’s suicide” meaning that he wrote this song while in despair feeling like he couldn’t make anything relationship work, and this is the reason why he decided to use those lyrics because he felt like he was “killing” his own romances.īelow is a quote from an interview he did to prove the above statement: To prove that this song wasn’t written to be a love song, listen to the lyrics and watch the music video. It’s one of those things that I hesitate to say too much, because sometimes songs become what they were supposed to be, and it’s not really up to the songwriter to determine what that is.” And it’s been obviously linked as a romantic song. “It was kind of a Hail Mary prayer for me, personally. Most people perceive this song as one of the most romantic songs, and one of the best songs to use for a wedding ceremony. I just put it all out there, here it is, here’s my scary moment, here’s my fear.
“You have to be honest and emotional and admit the things that maybe you don’t want to. The lyrics in the track are aimed at conveying a break up that the artist was currently going through, as well as going through a really tough time in his life. Label: Lava Records, Vanguard Records, 429 Records
