That chorus is actually insane, from the modulating 4 on the floor bass, to the expertly composed chords, to the richness of the strings… Worked out to it and I’ve been singing it all day!

The most interesting thing about the coltrane change is that you can hear the original key for a split second, and it suddenly transposes to the major 3rds. Vocals make the beautiful major chords.

[@fphantom]

It's quite a beautiful, fleeting tension

[@Seltaeb_]

I love all the giant steps stuff YT has been recommending! And this is one if my favs!

[@ArturRussoMateus]

this is amazing cause we can see clearly how the key changes are so absurd

[@ArgentAlapin]

The instrumentation combined with the Coltrane jazz-up makes it surprisingly profound. I'd pay serious amounts of gratitude dollars for a full version.
