The video dives into the music theory behind Silksong’s Bone Bottom theme, unpacking that mournful “sad, sad b6” interval, a rock-solid chord structure, and even moments where the key gets sacrificed for the sake of a stronger progression. From the A vs. B sections to consistent voicings and dramatic chord twists, you’ll see exactly how each piece fits together.
It wraps up by pitting Bone Bottom against Dirtmouth’s theme—showing how Dirtmouth leans on subtle nostalgia while Bone Bottom goes big on tension, modulations, and bold emotional swings.
