Amongst the core characteristics and attributes that made this song a top-charting hit include: An Exceptionally Clever Title “Blow Me (One Last Kiss).“ It’s evocative, grabs your attention and piques your interest to at least take a listen to the song. Translated it means “f**k you – goodbye!” Above all, it’s 100% “Pink” in nature. Evocative Lyrics The song is emotionally charged, utilizing imagery and scathing lyrics to convey the hurt, animosity and moving on nature of the story, all the while conveyed in a purely “Pink” manner. Familiarity The lead guitar melody is a lift from Modest Mouse’s “Float On,” the intro possesses a Blondie “Rapture” and “Heart Of Glass” vibe, and the overall nature of the song has a lot in common with Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger” thanks to Greg Kurstin (who co-wrote both songs). That being said, Pink is a strong enough artist where she is able to take a generally unoriginal song, put her own unique stamp on it and make it all her own. Strong Payoffs The listener is provided with two exceptionally strong payoffs within the chorus. The first occurs during the powerful chorus-A section (“I think I’ve finally had enough…”, and the second occurs when Pink takes the intensity level to a rousing peak during the “just when it can’t get worse” portion before taking the listener back to where it all began to end the full section. Vocal Melody Repetition There’s abundant repetition in Pink’s vocal melody, both in individual lines as well as from section to section, doing a fantastic job of getting the song totally engrained in the listener’s head. Non-Repetitive Lyrics With the exception of the chorus, each section of the song (including the three pre-chorus sections) has different lyrical content. The plus is that it provides the song with increased lyrical scope and depth. The negative is that it makes the lyrics harder to remember (less repetition). Note that most top charting songs utilize the same lyrical content in each pre-chorus section, and most only have two pre-chorus occurrences within the song. It’s All About The Chorus 2 / 47 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today's Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com Not surprisingly, the vast majority of time within the song (47%) is allocated to that super- infectious, memorable and powerful chorus. This is followed far behind by the pre-chorus, which accounts for just 20% of the song’s total composition. Memorability By Melody Blow Me (One Last Kiss) is a very “wordy” song, coupled with the fact that the lyrical content differs in each section of the song except for the chorus as mentioned earlier. It’s the repetitive nature of the melody that comes to the rescue, providing the song with its memorable nature. You might not remember all of the lyrics, but you can still hum the melody to each section of the song. Super-Strong Vocals It’s Pink who really brings this song to life and gives it it’s character. Her vocals are exceptionally powerful and she exudes her “Pinkness” throughout. MTI Fluctuations Blow Me (One Last Kiss) makes great use of fluctuations in MTI (momentum, tension and intensity) levels throughout the song, providing the listener with a very engaging listening experience. For example, notice how the backing music drops out from underneath Pink’s vocals right before the chorus hits, briefly decreasing the MTI level to provide it with greatly increased punch and impact when it slams in. A Bridge Or An Interlude? Most people would agree that a “proper” bridge provides both a melodic and lyrical departure from the rest of the song. Melodically, the vocal “la la la’s” are different than any other section within the song (though the nature of the backing music is similar). Lyrically, except for the phrase “blow me one last kiss,” there aren’t any “real” lyrics, just “la la la’s.” That being said, the nature in which Pink SINGS the “la la la’s” coneys the feeling of joy and lightness, which in its own way conveys meaning – just not through proper words. So, is it a bridge or an “interlude?” I would have to lean toward bridge. The Outro/Chorus Combo The outro is a technically a play on the chorus, utilizing “la, la la’s” instead of “proper” lyrics to convey the chorus-A melody. This is then followed by the reversion back to the proper vocal chorus-B section to conclude the song. Structural Analysis Back to Top At-a-Glance 3 / 47 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today's Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com Section Length (Length of each individual section within the song) I=Intro, V=Verse, Chr=Chorus, Turn=Turnaround, Brg=Bridge Blow Me (One Last Kiss) contains 16 individual sections within its framework, all of which are short to moderate in length. Key points to note: All but three sections land at exactly 0:17. The exceptions are the intro (0:13), the turnaround (0:04) and the bridge (0:16). Notice that each of the three full chorus sections are actually 0:34 in length, comprised of two individual 0:17 segments (Chorus A & B). The final chorus within the song, (4-B), consists of just one 0:17 segment. The frequent changeover of sections does a great job of aiding to keep the listener engaged throughout the song. By constantly providing them with something new entering the mix, there’s no time to get “bored.” Timeline (Shows when each section hits within the timeline of the song) 4 / 47 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today's Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com Total Section Analysis (Total time consumed by each section and its percentage of the total song) As you can clearly see in the graph above, the vast majority of time within the song (47%) is devoted to the ultra-infectious, powerful payoff of the chorus. This is followed far behind by the pre-chorus (comprising 20%) and the verse (comprising just 13% of the song). Let’s see how the sectional breakdown of Blow Me (One Last Kiss) stacks up against the average of the 23 songs that landed in the Billboard Pop Songs top 10 during Q2-2012: Intro Blow Me (One Last Kiss): Comprises 5% of the total song. Q2-2012 Average: Comprises 4% of the total song. 5 / 47 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today's Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com Comparison: Blow Me’s Intro is basically right in-line with the average for top 10 hits during Q2-2012. Verse Blow Me (One Last Kiss): Comprises 13% of the total song. Q2-2012 Average: Comprises 24% of the total song. Comparison: The amount of time that Blow Me allocates to the verse sections of the song is just about half that of the average top 10 Pop hit. This is primarily due to the greater amount of time dedicated to the pre-chorus. Pre-Chorus Blow Me (One Last Kiss): Comprises 20% of the total song. Q2-2012 Average: Comprises 12% of the total song. Comparison: Significantly more time is allocated to Blow Me’s Pre-Chorus than the average for Q2 top 10 Pop hits. This is primarily due to Blow Me containing three pre- chorus sections while the majority of other top 10 hits only contain two (remember that Blow Me utilizes a third pre-chorus right after the bridge). Chorus Blow Me (One Last Kiss): Comprises 47% of the total song. Q2-2012 Average: Comprises 44% of the total song. Comparison: Blow Me allocates 3% more time to the chorus than the average for top 10 Pop hits. Bridge Blow Me (One Last Kiss): Comprises 6% of the total song.

  • Vi Tænder På Soundtracket Betyder Packen I Sovevæ På at Tænde For
    Vi tænder på at tænde for musikken : Soundtracket betyder mere end six - packen i soveværelset • Spotify’s undersøgelse af ”Science Behind the Song” udforsker sammenhængen mellem musik og romantik. • Over 40 % siger, at det at lytte til musik er mere ophidsende end berøring under sex, og Dirty Dancing kåres som det bedste soundtrack i soveværelset. • Marvin Gayes Sexual Healing kåres som det bedste nummer til at få partneren i den rette stemning til sex. • Queens sang Bohemian Rhapsody fik flest stemmer i kampen om titlen ”bedre end sex”. En ny undersøgelse, som udkommer i dag, viser vigtigheden af musik i vores kærlighedsli v. Undersøgelsen er lavet af musikpsykolog Dr. Daniel Müllensiefen fra Goldsmiths, University of Lo ndon, og var bestilt af Spotify med det formål at undersøge forholdet mellem musik, romantik og forførelse. Undersøgelsen afslørede, at musik, du har på din forførelses-playliste , er vigtigere end det, der er under dit tøj, når det komm er til succes i soveværelset. Over 40 % af de adspurgte mente, at den musik, de lytter til under sex, med større sandsynlighed tænder dem end deres partners berøring. Dr. Müllensiefen kommenterede : “Det er ikke nogen overraskelse, at så mange respondenter finder musik i soveværelset ophidsende. Fra neurovidenskabelige undersøgelser ved vi, at musik kan aktivere de samme nydelsescentre i hjernen, som også aktiveres af mindre abstrakte belønninger som mad, stoffer eller endda sex. Undersøgelsen afslørede også , at den mest ophidsende musik, man kan spille under sex, er sangene fra den klassiske 80’er film Dirty Dancing. Det ikoniske soundtrack - som indeholder populære hits fra 1950’erne og en sang sunget af filmens hovedstjerne Patrick Swayze selv - blev kår et som det bedste album at spille i soveværelse af både mandlige og kvindelige respondenter.
