Hey, Adam. Yeah. Do you like this? Oh, I do like that a lot, yeah. About this. Oh, I know that one. Yeah, that's easy. That's...

I don't just have that ready. I'm Adam, Manus. Don't judge my moose out of that. I'm going to. I just want to see what website does one go to for moose? Oh, is that something that you have local? www. www.

www. www. worldwide web dot YouTube.com Hold up, can I show them your screen because this is pretty, I'm Peter Martin,

by the way. I'm Adam Mennis. And this is the You'll Hearer podcast. Music advice. Coming at you. There you go. Can I show them your screen? Yeah.

Because this is hilarious. What kind of website has just a sound that is, what is this? 1997? Is this prodigy. Dot net? This cow might have been recorded

in 1997. We don't know. No, why did you play a music? Because I played this. Because you played a moo chord. Mu not M-O-O but M-U-M-U. Right.

You came up with that term, didn't you? Yes, I'm going to say you did. It's legend has it that Steely Dan, the band Steely Dan, Donald Fegg, and Walter Becker, came up with that term as a way to sort of shorten add to moo, add-to, mu, or like C major two, C-Moo. C-M-O- Right. But what I played before that, we did have an episode on the Moo already out, right? Correct. Yeah, it's going back in time.

Yeah, you can check out that just from last week. We did a whole episode on the moo chord. Yeah, that's what it is. Wait, no, that's not it. That's what the major seven calls. That's the moo major seven, which actually, I'm going to make this one up. Let's give it a name. We're going to call it, instead of the moo, we're going to call it the me.

The meow. Okay, I like that. The meow. The meow. The meow cord. Meal. You heard of your folks. I've heard of your first.

Yeah, meow, meow, meow. The meow chord. Right. Yeah. Miao, mao. Miao, Miao. It's beautiful. Miao, Miao.

Whoa, listen to the... Are you strangling a cat on the cat on that? You've got the Mugh Chord, and we've got the Miao Miao Chord. Miao, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meo, meo, meo, remember that? Okay. Peter, if you wouldn't mind, just share my screen right quick. Really? Yeah.

Okay. Oh, yeah. That's what we got going on. That's like some feral cats there. Miao, meow. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so we're playing and singing horrible sounds, but we're actually going to be listening and looking at horrible images so far.

But things are about to take a turn for the better. Yeah. Did you know that? Because we are going to be listening to and watching a video that is, well, I like you to describe it out because I think you have a great sort of way to talk about what this is. Because it's not just, I mean, it's, of course, it's a beautiful song by Antonio's caller Joe Beam, Agua Asthmart. How do you say it?

Aguas de Marco, I think. Yeah. But. With a big American accent. That's very, that was very. It's Aguiz de Marco. It's always Aguas and Marco. Mayamo Adam.

Meymou as Marco. Beautiful song, of course, originally from the Tom and Elise album. But this is a live version that you brought to us that I hadn't seen in years and brought back some great memories. It makes the rounds every once in a while. It's so haunting and beautiful. this video specifically. The performance, it's a live performance.

It's all shot in black and white. It has a very moody vibe, vibe lining. Moie. Yeah, I'll eat. No, no, it's that related, sorry. But it's got, it's Elise Regina, who is one of the, the duet partner with Tom Jobim on the original recording of Aguist DeMarco. And it's just a very vibe, moody video.

And every time I see it, I think to myself, Yeah, there it is. I think, like, why aren't more... Even if a still image, that shows you a lot, right? Yeah, yeah, I mean, so beautiful. But, like, I think to myself, like, why aren't more live performances captured in this way that's so vibey?

You know, like, I can't think of another one that's as viby, a live performance that's as viby as this. And the lighting and the coloring, you know, it really matches the vibe of the song. It's so cool. I love hearing, at least Regina, sing this soul. I mean, I love the version, of course,

with Tom Joby, but I really love hearing her just sing this song, too. It's a little slower. than the original, certainly vibey, as you say. So if you haven't seen this, you're in for a treat. If you have, just sit back and enjoy it again. But also, as we're watching this, I want you to think, if you know of some vibey live performance videos, please put them in the comments because we want to discover some more of...

You like vibey stuff? I do. I love a good vibe. Right. Well, we're going to talk about what makes this vibey, but let's listen first. And watch. Because those agas, they fish a veron. Beautiful.

that shot look at that tender touch at the piano that's so nice but listen to the sound that they get hand hand cam oh man coming in close she'd look right here that's just a killer um brushes on the snare all these little orchestration things at the piano i don't know who's playing piano Oh, the borghumbo of ribanseer, is the mystery of profound, it's the quay or not keira, it's the venting, it's the fiegel,

festa of the commie'e'er Oh. It's the choubets, riverrida, that's all. It's the fin of canceera, it's the foot, it's the chanon,

it's a marche stradeer, just a... Just a... Bright key light on one side of her face and no fill on the other. Just completely in shadow. A little triangle there. Fend me jazz bass, left hand. Wack focus, that's what that's called, rack focus.

All these little subtle changes too happening in the arrangement and the harmony. Of course the counter melodies, the piano players is brilliant. A little bluesy. A little bluesy. On the triple it in the eighth note. Little subtlety time. Yeah. Off beats.

Riff, riff. Riff. It's a boarer, it's a Joe, is Joe, is a spino in a a cut in the Marce, Fulf be pushed.

Dynamics. Dynamics. Oh. Oh. It's a bellow horizon It's a Fever in Persia. It's

Maxwell smart at the piano It looked like And you know, I don't know if you know This Peter, but I don't speak fluent Portuguese, So I don't know what she's saying You don't. But I feel like she's talking to them. She is talking to you.

Yeah. No, it feels like the way she's singing is very conversational The whole thing, which is good because it's a very wordy song. Yeah. How good is that? Great, great, great, great, great, great stuff here. Elise Regina, yeah, so we'll link to the original, too, with her and Tom, Joe Beam, so you can kind of hear the difference because it's kind of a more,

a fuller orchestration. It's a little brisker, too, as I recall. And it's definitely incredible. And it's got a bridge that. Boop, Boop, Boop. The transposition. But this video is so haunting. The performance is so good.

And piano players take notice. You know, we talk about learning to play Boston Nova style piano. Yeah. You know, you've got, I was thinking counterpoint, but it's not really counterpoint because you've got these riffs in the... It's almost like a string line happening. Yeah, but it's very independent from like the left hand. You almost want to be at that guitar place with your left hand while you're very flexible

to do little melodic stuff in the right end. And the touch on the piece. piano too. So a part of it. That intro you get. Yeah. But the rhythm, it's so like light, but it's so like in the group. Precise. Very precise. So like don't get sloppy with the feel. That's where a lot of people fall short with this. They're like, oh, it's wishy-washy. No, it's relaxed, but it's very like, because that's how you can get away with having those, not get away with, you can really take advantage of those breaks. Boom, do, do, do, bang, don't. bang, tachapoons, tecabons, tecabon.

Because that's all, it's that underlying vibe, that rhythm. The vibe on the video, too. Well, in the... You like vibebiby videos? That, that licks specifically is so good. Yeah. Which is like a C-7 over E or a maybe even a E-half-minish. That sort of C-B-flat thing.

Man, no, such great choices. Beautiful stuff. So if you know of a vibe video like this, specifically of a live performance, of a live performance. Right, absolutely. And also just, we weren't going to get into the weeds like nerds, but since we are, when you go to that, it's a E9. A lot of people play like sharp nine.

I mean, that's wrong. You got to hear that. Because this whole tune is just a vamp. But every other time it goes to that to set up going to the four. Anyway. Beautiful. Coming to. release Regina. Don't forget.
