The best quality of the song live during their sound check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCM_6PU97HM

Thanks. AJ sounds a bit flat in the soundcheck, but that's why you try this.

The harmonies are beautiful.

For me it has the "IWTW" mood.

I'm not an expert, but this has a keychange, hasn't it?

Haha I was watching this the other day, it has a few funny moments. Yeah AJ starts off a bit flat, if you keep an eye on Nick, you can see his funny initial reaction, then he does the whole tuning the guitar thing to AJ to make fun of him. Howie singing "and now Nick's free balling" was the best bit though.

Na there's no key change in this, but I'm genuinely interested to know what gives you that impression. I grew up learning to play, so it's hard to know how non musical people hear things. I'm guessing the bit after Howie's part is where you're hearing it?

It's at 2:45 somehow I thought this might be a different key, but when the normal chorus is on again I hear it is the same key.

Its should have a counter melody lol, but who am I to complain.

Yeah if they were to do a key change, it's right at that spot Max would normally place it, like in "Shape Of My Heart", so I think that's what creates the illusion for you. Especially given that they've used the good old drum hit right at that moment too, and then AJ goes into his improv style vocal, it's all familiar territory and you expect the key change to go along with it.

Guys did you notice he  re-used that Cheiron "popping bottle" sound he used to do a lot?
https://soundcloud.com/mybackstreet/backstreet-boys-in-a-world It can be heard in the 25th second mark.


If you didnt know it, he used it in Britney's Oops (in the 22nd mark)

[Khan9898]

Since its Kristian and Max that did the song together, its not surprising to hear old signature sounds.

To me the song is a combination of I Want It That Way, Answer To Our Lives, I Got You, and Bigger

Don't you forget One Direction's "I Wish" in this combination!!!

lol of course we did, do you call it just by yourself "popping bottle" or where from do you have this name? And if it comes to examples, you could've named like 20 songs

Finally a 1 minute 30 sec studio clip! Thanks to Emma on TheDarkSide forum for finding this https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/in-a-world-like-this-single/id662916006

You have to open it up in iTunes and have the settings to the UK to hear 1:30 clip otherwise it'll be a 30 sec clip.

Hmmm, sounds a bit too dry in my opinion :/

Verses are very Cheiron to me! I'm not sold on the first listen but looking forward to get their new album.
