Posted 3 years, 2 weeks, 6 days, 5 hours, 42 minutes ago

Tonedeff breaks down “Porcelain” track by track. (2004)

We had alot of requests for this one, taken from the CD/DVD of Archetype (which is available right now @ UGHH.com). Here, Tonedeff breaks down the motivations behind his bittersweet classic, and deconstructs the song piece by piece in the studio. Check out the inner-workings of a song that has inspired tattoos.

“Porcelain” is available for digital download right now @ Amazon.com & iTunes.

Enjoy!

amazing song… and yes, tonedeff, you are too smart for most people, but that is part of your appeal for others.

Yeszir!

This DVD opened up whole new worlds for me as a hip-hop fan, so be sure to cop the CD if you don’t have it yet.

This remains one of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks for posting.

I’ve got to wonder how much music theory tones studied
if any?

just curious after watching this

also
live performance with singers doing this part would be insane.
doubt a quartet could handle it though

This is one of my favorite tracks of all time, if not my favorite. I used to zone out of the world and into this track all the time, I could relate to it. Still can…

Amazing record.

Tone, truly this song rang deep with me. The story in this song happens to me a lot now. Time keeps going on, but if you stay true to yourself people will come around.

My dad used to always tell me this… “Keep doing what you’re doing, pretty soon people will come over and see what’s so interesting.”

Keep up the work, I have a feeling that 2009 is going to exit like a lion for you and the Fam!

Niiiiice!

I finally scrapped some cash together so I ordered Archetype from Ughh.com, can’t wait to get it! Also ordered PackFM’s limited edition dvd/cd while I was at it…

It’s QN5 bitch!

one of my favorite songs ever. on what i believe is one of the best, most complete, albums ever.
Loved how you broke down the songs on the DVD. It gave me a greater appreciation for what it takes to put a song together.

“If only I.. could give you the Skyy and also the seaaaa”

My favourite song of all time, spread over all genres.

Everything about the song is perfect, from the beat, the harmonies of Tone’s voice, his voice on the actual verses, the opening.. the ending – and the story is all too familiar.

And it’s timeless.. After playing this song hundreds of times, it carries all the weight from the first time I heard it.
