“Get Lucky” Cover Paper Rough Draft
This paper will compare and contrast the song “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk and the cover by Daughter. Daft Punk is an all male group of four people. Daughter is a female solo artist. For the most part, Daughter kept the lyrics the same. She had a slight change towards the end to put her own spin on it. Each song had a different tempo. Tempo means the speed of the music Daft Punk had a faster one while Daughter took on a slower one. Due to the change in tempo, Daughter’s cover had a time of 4:54, while Daft Punk’s was only 4:09.
The instruments used for Daft Punk were a guitar, drums, and what sounds like a synthesizer. It gives the piece an electronic upbeat sound. …show more content…
Major key has more of a happy tone. Minor key is on the sad side. In the original, I heard major key because the pitch was higher and more upbeat. In the Daughter cover, I heard minor key because she sang at a lower pitch and the song was more melancholy. The layers of sound in music are known as the texture. It can be monophonic, polyphonic, or homophonic. Monophone means one sound. Polyphone is many sounds and homophonic is the same sound for the melody, harmony, and supporting sounds. I heard a monophonic texture for Daughter. It sounds like one sound with nothing else mixed in. Unlike in Daft Punk’s, where I heard a homophonic one. The sounds were the same but it was more than one thing creating that similar sound. Form is the organization of musical ideas. The piece itself to me was verse-prechorus-chorus. The verse is the part that tells a story. The prechorus leads to the chorus, and the chorus is the catchy part that normally has the title in it. In the original, I heard Pharrell sing the verse “like the legend of the phoenix…” and Daft Punk sang the rest. The form is the same for Daughter except she sings all parts. I heard repetition of “we’re up all night to get lucky” from minute 2:15 to 2:24. Then it turns into an electronic sounding voice from minute 2:25 to
