23 | Notes/Description: | "1234" is a really rich song when you listen to it critically. As a casual listener, you hear a fun little light-hearted folksy song. Listening to it critically make you realize all of the work that's put into it. Apparently you need like 14 instruments and 4 singers to make a "light-hearted folksy" sound. Oof. Really great song. Starts out simply enough and the song builds to a crescendo a couple of times with really fun releases both times. One of the parts I find most interesting after listening to it critically is how new parts and new instruments are constantly being added throughout the piece. "1234" stays true to its name and hangs out in 4/4 time with one exception at the end of Chorus 3 to allow for another crescendo into a jazzy piano part which is then followed by a solid trumpet solo. The song concludes as simply as it begun. It's somehow jazzy, orchestral, and folksy all at the same time which is maybe why it seems to appeal to such a large audience. | ||||||||||||||||
