I know that this is stupid question but this forum for me is first time when I use english outside of reading documentation for my job…
… can someone explain for me term "musical hook"?
I will tell you what
I mean (I'm no musician). A hook could be a riff, a particual rythm, a passage that "hooks" you into the music. In the case of BOS, I will write some of these down:
1. The way Bruce emphasize the ending of the some words in IESF: "illusioNNNN", "delusioNNN" etc.
2. The guitar that follows the vocals in TRATB. Maidens version of the Blues, I guess.
3. The way the guitar delays a tiny bit longer than Bruce during the third and fourth cycle in the song above. Subtle and clever. For me, spine chilling.
4. That they stomp on right through with more intensity for every cycle after the OOOOAAAHs in the song above. Brilliant. I feel I wanna punch my boss in the face.
5. The lyrical melody of BOS. Fantastic. All of it.
6. The beginning of SOTV - like standing in a windy, dusty wasteland.
7. The lyrical melody of TMOS starting at 2.00. So filled with despair. Like a falling man from a tall building.
8. The intensity of EOTC that starts right before 13.00. The ship is burning and falling. I could have had a whole song with this.
Those are just a few of them I guess..
