Ever wonder why a C major track can feel strange without leaving the key?
Listen to the bass. Straight C. But the melody keeps landing on scale degree 4. Not F Lydian either, because the B note never shows up. Just C major hit from a different angle.
That is how you make a simple key sound like something people have not heard before. Pick a scale degree that is not the root, then lean on it until the whole piece tilts.
