All About That Bass

Sing the song and play the bass


Love Runs Out: what are you going to do? What can you already do? I can clap precisely to the beat. I can find the tones a – b – c – d – e – f – g on a keyboard. I can sing a section of a song in a group. I recognize wind instruments and strings.

What do you already know? I know what a musical accompaniment is. I know what a bass drum is. I know what a verse, chorus and bridge are.

What are you going to do? You sing Love Runs Out with a bass drum part. You sing a countervoice with the song. You play a bass part with the song and combine this with the singing.

Love Runs Out is a track from 2014 by American rock band OneRepublic, from their third album Native. The band became famous from their tracks on Myspace (the forerunner of Facebook). Later they also had a huge hit with the track Apologize, in a remix by rapper/producer Timbaland. Apologize is a quiet song — a ballad — but Love Runs Out is much more raw. What really stands out is the heavy bass drum that plays the whole time... the whole time? Well, not quite. We are going to find out!

Verse 3

I’ll be your light, your match, your burning sun I’ll be the bright, and black, that’s making you run And I feel alright ’Cause we’ll work it out I’ll be doin’ this, if you ever doubt ’Til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out

and we’ll feel alright yeah we’ll work it out

I’ll be your ghost, your game, your stadium I’ll be your fifty thousand clapping like one And I feel alright ’Cause I worked it out I’ll be doin’ this, if you ever doubt ’Til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out

and I feel alright yeah I worked it out

I got my mind made up and I can’t let go I’m killing every second ’til it sees my soul I’ll be running I’ll be running ’Til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out And we’ll start a fire, and we’ll shut it down ’Til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out

ooh ooh

There’s a maniac out in front of me Got an angel on my shoulder, and Mephistopheles My momma raised me good, momma raised me right Momma said ‘do what you want, say prayers at night’ And I’m saying them, cause I’m so devout ’Til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out

Chorus Bridge

Oh, we all want the same thing Oh, we all run for something Oh for God, for fate For love, for hate For gold and rust For diamonds and dust I’ll be your light, your match, your burning sun I’ll be the bright and black that’s making you run

Prepare

You will look at how the music changes at the coloured part of the lyrics. You will also practice the accompaniment on an instrument.

Listen Love Runs Out – OneRepublic 1 a Listen to the start of Love Runs Out. It starts with a heavy bass drum. Tap the beat with your fingers. The bass drum plays: on each beat. every two beats. every four beats. know Now and then you hear a break in the music. A break is a section in the music where the accompaniment briefly stops entirely.

b Listen to the whole track using the mixer, read along with the lyrics and tick the correct answers. At the red words: At the yellow words: At the green words: a break is played. a break is played. a break is played. only the bass drum plays. only the bass drum plays. only the bass drum plays. the bass drum does not play. the bass drum does not play. the bass drum does not play.

Love Runs Out – Leon Sherman Singer Leon Sherman took part in The Voice of Holland with Love Runs Out. He plays and sings it in a very different style: funk.

2 Listen to the chorus. How is it different to the version by OneRepublic? Leon Sherman’s funk version: is much calmer. does not have a continuous bass drum. has strings.

has wind instruments.


Practice A Practice the rhythm of the bass drum Sing the first verse of Love Runs Out. Clap along with the beat. Stop at the red words in the lyrics. Make sure you clap precisely to the beat. Does this work? Then play the rhythm on a bass drum or other large drum. TIP Keep listening to the music and do not accelerate! B Practice the countervoice You can sing or play a countervoice from the second verse onwards and also in the chorus. know A countervoice (or countermelody) is a melody that is set against the main melody. It has a different rhythm and a different melody. Nonetheless they sound nice together. e

e g Sing: Sing the countervoice while you clap along to the beat. Sing the countervoice with a group, while another group sings the verse. Then swap the groups over. EXTRA also sing the countervoice while another group sings the chorus. Play: First practice the counterpart by singing. Find the notes on an instrument (look out for the f#). Practice the countermelody along with the music. TIP Listen to the music, and especially to the beat, so that you stay in time. checklist • prepare Do you know when the bass drum plays? Do you know where the breaks are? Can you sing the verse and the chorus? Can you play the bass drum? Can you sing or play the countervoice?

All About That Bass: what are you going to do? What can you already do? I can find the notes a – b – c – d – e – f – g on my instrument. I can count in at the correct tempo. I can tap or click my fingers to the beat. I feel the end of a piece of music approaching.

All About That Bass is the first single by the American singer Meghan Trainor. The message of the song is that it doesn’t matter what you look like, you are always beautiful. From the song title you can also guess that the bass plays an important role in the music.

8

What do you already know? I know what backing vocals are. I know what improvising is. I know the terms melody, rhythm, bass, motif. I know what a variation is.

What are you going to do? You will sing All About That Bass with a second voice. You will play the bass. You will make your own bass line.


All About That Bass Meghan Trainor

Chorus Because you know I’m all about that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble I’m all about that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble I’m all about that bass, ’bout that bass, no treble I’m all about that bass, ’bout that bass Verse 1 Yeah it’s pretty clear, I ain’t no size two But I can shake it, shake it like I’m supposed to do ’Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase All the right junk in all the right places Verse 2 I see the magazines (aha) working that Photoshop (aha) We know that shit ain’t real, come on now, make it stop If you got beauty beauty (aha) just raise ’em up ’Cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top know A pre-chorus is a section of a song that leads up to the chorus.

Pre-chorus Yeah, my momma she told me, don’t worry about your size (Shoowopwop, shahoowopwop) She says, boys like a little more booty to hold at night (That booty, booty, ah! That booty, booty) You know I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll (Shoowopwop, shahoowopwop) So, if that’s what’s you’re into, then go ’head and move along Chorus Verse 3 I’m bringing booty back Go ahead and tell them skinny ladies that No, I’m just playing, I know you think you’re fat But I’m here to tell you That every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top Pre-chorus & chorus (2x)

Prepare

You will listen to various music styles with double bass. You practice singing hip and you practice the rhythms that go with All About That Bass.

Listen All About That Bass – Meghan Trainor know A groove is a rhythmic pattern (sometimes also melodic or with chords) that is used to accompany a song.

know A double bass is a string instrument with a large resonance box. It produces low tones and almost always plays the bass part of the music. The strings can be plucked or played with a bow.

1 a Listen to the chorus. The double bass plays a groove. The strings are bowed / plucked. b The double bass plays a groove. Tick the correct answers in the ‘chorus’ column in the table. c Listen to both the chorus and verse 1. Now Tick the correct answers under ‘verse 1’. Chorus Verse 1 The double bass plays the groove: The double bass plays the groove: the whole time. the whole time. with rests in between. with rests in between.

Smells Like Teen Spirit – The Bad Plus Smells Like Teen Spirit was a huge hit for grunge band Nirvana. The jazz group The Bad Plus made their own version. The double bass plays an important role here, just as in All About That Bass.

2 a The song starts with a piano motif. After a

short time the piano stops and the double bass starts. The double bass plays: a different motif than the piano. exactly the same motif as the piano. a variation on the piano motif.

b The piano then joins in again. What does the piano play now? The first motif. New motifs. c A third instrument plays too. Which instrument is this?

Romanza Patética – G. Bottesini The double bass is also used a lot in classical music. It usually plays the bass part, but sometimes has a solo part. Romanza Patética (passionate romance) is a composition for piano and double bass.

3 a The strings of the double bass are:

bowed. plucked.

b Here the double bass plays: the bass part. the melody. c In which way do you hear the ‘passion’ in the music?

Practice A Practice singing ‘hip’ Singers nowadays often sing in a very particular way: hip and trendy. You can do this too! Watch the practice video about singing hip. Practice the chorus and try to do it exactly as in the video. B Practice the hand claps Practice the hand claps. Always first count to four in the correct tempo. First say the rests together out loud. If this goes well, you just ‘think’ them. Divide the tasks: half sings the chorus, the other half claps. Then swap over. If this goes well, sing and clap the chorus all together at the same time. TIP Make sure that you stop clapping exactly on time at the end. rest

checklist • prepare Can you recognize a double bass? Do you know what a groove is and can you identify it in music? Can you sing a song in a hip way? Do you know what a repeat mark is? Can you play the hand claps and the bass rhythm? And can you also sing at the same time? What are you going to pay attention to when singing or playing?

12


Do

Sing: you will sing All About that Bass with hand claps and possibly with a second voice. Play and improvise: you will play the bass part and make up a bass part yourself.

Sing Rehearse 1 Practice the song. 2 Divide the three verses between groups and sing the pre-chorus and chorus with the whole class. 3 Each group learns one verse. 4 Add the hand claps. 5 Finally sing the whole song with the division that has been agreed upon. Background choir rehearsal The lyrics between brackets marked in pink are sung by a background choir. These ‘mini-choirs’ sing between the main melody. 1 Listen to the music and sing along with the backing vocals only. 2 Divide up the tasks: who sings the main melody and who sings the background choir? 3 EXTRA Think of hand movements and/or dance steps for the backing singers. Tips for singing Make sure that you pronounce all words well. Listen to the recording! Once you know a section well, try to sing it hip, without exaggerating. Listen carefully to each other, so that you sing everything in time with each other. know A second voice is an extra voice that is parallel to the melody, but with a different pitch. EXTRA In the lyrics certain sections are printed in italics. You can sing a second voice with these sections. Listen to the second voice in the mixer and sing along with it. Leave the melody out for the moment. Then put the melody back in and see if you can still sing along. Finally sing the second voice, while others sing the melody live.

checklist • sing Can you sing your parts of the song well? Can you pronounce the lyrics well? Can you sing the song hip? Can you sing and do the hand claps at the same time? EXTRA Can you sing the second voice without getting confused?

Play and improvise Rehearse 1 Practice the bass part. Start at the lowest a tone on your instrument. 2 First play along with the music, then try it without the recording. 3 Now add the finger clicks and ‘aha’ (hip!). 4 Combine the bass part with singing. Tips for playing If clicking your fingers is difficult, tap your fingers instead. Make sure you play and click exactly in time. Play all notes short and punchy. Bass part
