I like the analysis, but I would like to point out that there’s also a sustained E note alongside the A. This gives the song a certain tension that makes the song a bit melancholic. Aside from that, great analysis of this, dare I say, brilliant song!!!

Hey thanks so much for your message! You can see the full video up on my page :) You know I think MMT just happened to be the last album I heard - somehow it had slipped through the net - so probably for that reason I don't overly love it as I'd already heard the likes of Sgt Peppers and Let it Be! Having said that, it has 'I Am the Walrus' on it which is one of the most groundbreaking songs/recordings of all time! (I made a video about that one too on my channel!) Cheers, planning on making some more for sure!

Paul said that this song Here, There, Everywhere was the only song ever that John Lennon actually complimented him on saying it was a beautiful song and that he had something special with this song. He never ever said that before or after at any time the two of them presented individual solo songs composed only by Paul.

Hi Mate. Here are some of my all-time favorite piano songs that have incredible chord progressions and changes but are still pop, jazz or R&B songs and incredible. 1. Until You Love Me (Al Jarreau) 2. I Will Be Here For You (Michael W. Smith) 3. El Dia Que Me Quieras (Luis Miguel) 4. If Only For One Night (Luther Vandross) 5. Take A Look At Me Now (Phil Collins) 6. Heart To Heart (Kenny Loggins) 7. You're My Love (Kenny Rogers) written by Prince. 8. Me Dedique A Perderte (Alejandro Fernandez) This song is really nice 9. Living Inside Myself (Gino Vannelli) This song has so much excellence it's ridiculous 10. Milonga Paraguaya (Jorge Drexler) Jorge is a master at composing unusual chord progressions that don't sound over done.

You have to wonder whether Mick Ronson might have had an uncredited hand in the creation of this chord progression. Same point applies to Rock n Roll suicide.
@born2defy555
@born2defy555 Ай бұрын
I think that move from C to F#m works because we are hearing F#m compared to the G we were anticipating next in the progression, rather than the C that came before. That’s what gives it that descending effect I believe.

Suggestion: My funny valentine. The chord change that occurs at <you're my *Favourite* work of art> gives me the chills (especially in the version by Elvis Costello). It would be interesting if you could look more at jazz chords and changes and their influence e.g. on Beatles and Costello.

Love it. But get the Roman numerals right, and standardise on whether the chord changes go up or down. Aside from this, I must once again ask: why are we using Roman numerals, and why is the root chord 1 and not 0, which would make it all MUCH simpler.

Excellent song and great analysis! Another song that borrows from the French tradition is Parisienne Walkways by Gary Moore, but it uses a more straightforward circle-of-fifths progression.
@manatsea6966
@manatsea6966 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for this, just had a listen - yes I see! There is something inherently French in that progression...my guess is that it stems from the accordion being so synonymous with the chanson and the fact that instrument (the way the chord buttons are laid out) is structured in 5ths.
