==Composition== | |||
"Castle Lololo" is set on the key of A minor and at 4/4. It begins with a four bar intro in which the main instrument is mostly just playing a non-stop array of sixteenth notes going up and down, also completely going down, and then back up, in pitch on each bar change, with a constant backing melody of eighteenth notes with notes also going up and down, but with a much higher difference in pitch. At the second half of the fourth bar, this pattern is momentarily broken by both instruments, with five quick chords, to indicate the start of the song's main melody. From this point on, the backing melody continues mostly unchanged, sometimes changing its starting notes into flat notes, and going down in pitch in various ways for the climax of the song. The main melody utilizes the idea of groups of notes that go up in pitch, but always end on a lower note, in various ways. After using this musical idea for eight bars, the eighth bar ends raising the overall pitch of the melody, which persists for the following four bars, which also use the musical idea of the previous bars. The song then ends on its four bar outro, which goes back to the song's original pitch, but only uses the original musical idea loosely, and with bigger group of notes. The end of the intro plays, with its five chords, and the song loops, skipping the intro. | |||
