00:01.860 --> 00:04.325
What works, like,
what really works?

2
00:07.010 --> 00:11.149
You can draw a spaceship,
a rocketship, have an idea.

3
00:11.150 --> 00:14.479
To build a rocketship
is a whole different story.

4
00:14.480 --> 00:16.923
Motherfucker has
to escape gravity.

5
00:19.420 --> 00:22.671
So if you want a record
to escape gravity and fly,

6
00:22.672 --> 00:24.690
sing it,
play it at the piano.

7
00:33.391 --> 00:34.570
Hi,
I'm Jeff Bhasker.

8
00:34.571 --> 00:39.472
Welcome to my studio in the lovely
Hollywood hills of California.

9
00:40.151 --> 00:45.095
Today, we're going to talk
about the amazing record, "Uptown Funk."

10
00:45.111 --> 00:46.911
Let's do it.

11
00:55.694 --> 00:57.494
Two different
claps.

12
00:58.400 --> 01:04.403
What frequency range are they supporting,
what era are they evoking?

13
01:04.404 --> 01:06.897
That does not
sound context.

14
01:06.898 --> 01:10.003
You can see, this one's a little ahead,
which is great.

15
01:10.004 --> 01:14.504
Don't over-quantize the drums
and take the human feel out of them.

16
01:19.300 --> 01:21.528
Prince,
James Brown...

17
01:24.956 --> 01:27.441
Time,
it's all in there.

18
01:27.700 --> 01:29.597
Homage to them.

19
01:31.000 --> 01:32.800
Rit James.

20
01:34.516 --> 01:37.067
All of the traditions
of funk.

21
01:38.000 --> 01:39.800
Earth,
Wind & Fire.

22
01:46.000 --> 01:50.254
If we had two play this song
live in an hour, how would it go?

23
01:50.255 --> 01:54.897
That really informed
how this arrangement finished.

24
01:59.805 --> 02:01.605
Catch you
on the next one.
