The vast majority of key changes in pop songs move up, not down! So let's look at some of the songs that do modulate downwards, including Penny Lane, Layla, I'll Stand By You and Uptown Girl, to get a better idea of what the downwards key change has to offer.

The flipside of The Beatles' 1969 album "Abbey Road" features a medley of tracks known as "The Long One". This long one was effectively The Beatles last grand effort in songwriting and recording and is a real jewel of their discography. So today let's look at how this intricate run of tracks was assembled, how the different songs segue and reference each other, and how the Beatles took cues from symyphonic music.

Most Muse songs display a level of musical complexity not seen in the majority of pop and rock music, but with their 2006 track "Take A Bow" they really took things to the next level! This song not only won't stop changing key, but the way it changes key is a clear indicator of Matt Bellamy's love of classical music.

📍12:04 Opps! “Once In A Lifetime” came out in 1980, not 81! 😅 I guess in that case, “Once In A Lifetime” might edge out “Ashes to Ashes” as my 1980 pick, and then for 1981 I would instead choose “Under Pressue” by Queen and Bowie. 😊 Thanks to those who brought this to my attention.
Time for a self-indulgent run through my favourite song released each year from 1964 until today. 😁

It's almost taken for granted that a song will resolve at the end, meaning it will move back to the tonic chord to give us that sense of completion and finality. But a song doesn't have to resolve at the end and by not doing so it can create a bittersweet sense of incompletion or longing.

The Beatles are well-known for their key changes, but how often did they actually change key? Well, I decided to find out by going through all of their songs and taking note of not only whether they change key but also what kind of key change we are dealing with. So today I share with you my findings as we explore the wide variety of key changing Beatles songs.

From Miles Davis to Britney Spears, from Girl From Ipanema to the Wii Shop Channel theme, Tritone subs can be found in many styles and, at first, tritone substitution can seem like an advance and complex concept. But really it's as simple as shifting your chord down 3 tones! There is so much potential with tritone subs and they can come in many shapes and sizes, so today let's learn more about how to tritone substitute!

Major vs minor is often treated as the great dichotomy of harmony, but in reality major and minor are just two points on our tonal spectrum. Simplifying the two down to apparent opposite emotions, happy and sad, really doesn't do justice to how these sounds operate and contrast against each other. So today we are going to look at a different way to consider these two tonalities and we will also discuss what really makes a song sound happy or sad.

Most pop music is in 4/4 time, but not all of it. I've listened to each of the 40 best selling songs (on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart) from each year of the 21st century and taken note of which time signature(s) they use. So that's a sample size of 933 songs (it would be 960 but sometimes the same song is in the top 40 best selling two years in a row so I didn't count those twice in the data). Out of those 933 songs, only 32 diverged from pure 4/4 time, so let's take a look at them today and see what other options exist beyond good old reliable 4/4.

7/4 time is an odd time signature and, as is the case with all odd time signatures, songs in 7/4 can be rare to stumble across. So here I have compiled 74 different songs using septuple meter.

King Gizzard are well known for their use of odd time signatures, polyrhythms and polymeters so today we are going to take a closer look at how these techniques are put to work in their 2017 album "Polygondwanaland".
I've used Moises app to help analyze this album. Their stem separation tool is great for removing or isolating instruments from songs. With this app, you can also find chords, and change the key or the tempo of a song, amongst other features which make it a great tool for learning or analysing songs.

I had three hours left in the recording studio so, with nothing prepared, I wrote and recorded 7 solo piano tracks, each one using a different major scale mode.
