[@Johanne-Bryce]

(Second draft) *Snotty academic voice* - This arrangement of John Lennon's 'Imagine', by an assortment of celebrities, uses a lack of tempo to reflect the uncertainty that the general population felt during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. In addition, the inconsistent rising and falling of keys are symbolic of the statistics during the outbreak. Starting in the key of C and traversing through a variety of keys, we are taken on this journey, and the return to the home key at the cadence of this rendition, represents the human desire for stability and hope. --------- One can also feel the push and pull between the governments and the people in the rubato, and brief tempo, as the populace become uneasy about being locked down, striving for the freedom that they believe they are entitled to. In conclusion, this rendition truly reflects the time and context of its production, and dare I say it is certainly an experimental endeavour.

[@PDXVoiceTeacher]

I just read this aloud in a snotty academic voice...you sir, perfectly captured the cadence!

This video is the actual analysis of one of my favorite singer jokes: [short version] Bandleader informs the band just before they start the song, "Okay, we're gonna start in Bb in 4/4; go three bars, jump up to B minor7, one bar of 3/4; [continues on and on in an Aristocrats style of chords/time signatures/keys] and the singer blurts out, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THERE'S NO WAY I CAN REMEMBER ALL THAT, LET ALONE SING IT!" to which the bandleader shoots back, "Well, that's what you did last night, so I'm just letting everyone know in advance!...

The fact that so many are filmed on their phones when they’re walking around or something makes me believe that either they waited until the last minute to do this, or they try and seem normal, in order to try and relate to everyone else.

Me: laughing because celebrities cant sing Also me: not knowing what key is

[@brainmind4070]

It's the "home" note of a song. Pieces of music mostly have a note/chord they are drawn to resolve toward. That is the key of a song. There are also modes, too. Major and minor keys are modes, but there are others as well. For instance, you could have C Ionian (Major), Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian (Minor), and Locrian. All these scales start on C but have a different sequence of notes that they follow to get up to the next C.

No musical piece would have 15 random key changes especiallyone that makes no harmonic sense not even go around circle of fifths or modulate (C D E F# B) The tempo is impossible It’ll just be horrible and a mess to play continuously, you have to play in discrete chunks and edit them together
