getting lost in playing piano could def be meditational

[@MauryExplorer_]

well said. but if you think about it everything is meditation. every action done with care. also cooking, sewing, walking and so on

[@collinbeal]

Playing an instrument can absolutely be meditative. Get yourself a keyboard or acoustic guitar and just doodle around with one idea like this for an hour, and it feels really good.

[@buggerkingmalmo8949]

not strange. in many ways it is proven music to be very close to certain levels of meditations,if even getting close to be a kind of spiritual rituality

C7 to F is about in every song, five chord to one.

[@nameismy_ethan]

@@aleksik4028 i’m aware but if you actually read my comment it had more to do with the tone and the approach more than the actual chords themselves. nearly every popular song utilizes a i - iii - v pattern but if i were to play a list of 10 of them you could probably differentiate them from each other.

[@Qui-9]

Maybe an older soap opera style?

[@Stevie_D_Pre]

@@Junglesmells You don’t have to try and make me sound like an idiot to make yourself feel smarter or more sophisticated. Almost all of the themes and ideas in modern music have been around for hundreds of years. I don’t study classical music or music history. I just made a connection to a band I listen to. What you should try next time is leaving a comment that says, “yeah it does sound like something Radiohead uses, but the idea has actually been around for x years and you can see hear it in so and so’s piece here or this other piece here”. Then you would actually using your “musical knowledge” to help expand it to other people.

It's a Beatles move. I'd argue it's what makes Radiohead's "Creep" so alluring.

[@ji604]

​​@@jakekeys88musicI'd argue the deceptive cadence from B > C before the Cm adds to the buildup and tension. Creep would sound way simpler if it left out the major III and went straight to IV and iv

Each one of these chords evoke a particular emotional feeling. The Bb/F is very solemn sounding. Very much a Gospel/Contemporary Christian vibe. The Bb min/F is more challenging. I bit mysterious. The C7/F has a JS Bach/Catholic Church kinda vibe. It is fun experimenting with slash chords like this!!
