Episode #101 - Songwriting - Song Analysis - "BILLIE BOSSA NOVA" Billie Eilish

Songwriting:  In this episode Joe analyzes the song "BILLIE BOSSA NOVA" by Billie (Eilish) O'Connell and Finneas O'Connell. This composition is a model of  perfection in how to construct a work of art.   The techniques employed offer composers, in all genres of music, a model to emulate in their works. The use of repetition and repetition with variation of melody, harmony and rhythm is textbook, along with the use of dance as inspiration, sectioning through orchestration and vocal range, shifting tonal colors and ostinato patterns as well was a study in planning and execution.
