10:26 I think parts of All Around The World are also influenced by this Real People song.

7/4 gives me trouble in swinging my chair from left to right and back. Gets me off-beat.

There's this popular song called "Hidhhda hidhhdai" in Nepal by the band '1974 AD' and it uses the same progression starting from D. When I listened to Something for the first time, it sounded so familiar but I couldn't point out why. It makes sense now

I've been writing music since I was a child, and I can tell you with utter surety that it is SO EASY NOT TO STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S MUSIC - I mean holy shit, there are an infinite combination of notes and chords you can use, and you're just using someone else's? Oasis seem like complete philistines....edit: oh wow I got to the end of the video, he's self-aware?? EWWWWWWWWWW. Oasis is officially the worst band of all time, jeez.

It's interesting to hear the difference,of how different chords sound.

The theme music of the first level of Super Mario always reminds me of how strong the infectious power of rhythm can be. As someone trained in traditional classical music, I feel that my sense of rhythm and groove is somewhat lacking. At least compared to jazz musicians.

A song that sounds like you’re dozing at home and you can hear voices in the other room as you drift in dream sleep

The "Shave and a haircut, two bits" rhythm in Rhythm Heaven, in the song for the minigame Sick Beats. It's played as kind of a melodic climax of sorts, leading up to the next section of the track. When I heard it, playing through that minigame for the first time, I immediately recognized it. There are also minigames there that are called Bossa Nova and Polyrhythm, for what that's worth.

I feel the diagrams weirdly synchronized, a little late hitting the first beat or it looks to me like it stays a little longer on it. But this representation is not my favorite, I can't feel flowing freely but I'm more urged to the next beat. Actually I've got difficulties with dynamic visual cue. Even conductor gestures are sometimes of interpretation to me.

7:27 great transition

My but is a brass instrument

Doubtful, but it would be cool to see Fire Back by Don Cab's intro here, considering it greatly influenced a genre, not a popular one but still!

No bohemian rhapsody, no benny and the jets this list is trash

😂…..I KNEW IT 😂

By the way, I composed about 4 songs. Some are completely in 7 / 4, and others are partly in 7 / 4 or 7 / 8, where 4 / 4 is the time signature of the main part at the beginning and end. The 7 / 8 parts are often subdivided into (3 + 2 + 2) / 8, with a stronger beat on the 1st, the 4th and the 6th beat (one beat counted as a 8th note). I also used 6 / 4 and 5 / 8 for other songs. I am a fan of odd time signatures.

When I first heard this song it reminded me of math rock. This video confirmed my suspicions. I highly recommend getting into the genre if this song tickles your fancy.

Cant wait for 1916 songs in 19/16 time, 3732 songs in 37/32 … and 1677721316777216 songs in 16777213/16777216 time

If it were just two claps, I'd have no trouble hearing them falling on beats 2 and 4 (since those are objectively the correct beats to clap on 99 times out of a hundred). However, as soon as you introduce a "bum badum-bum-bum" rhythm to it, as in "Car Wash", I have a hard time hearing those first and last "bum"s as anything but the 1 and/or 3.

i wish squid was here! swing in a dream is a great song in 7/4

It doesn't feel like a bar of 3 then 5 then 2 then 4 to me. It just feels like 4 then 3 with a push in the middle. If you count it in half.

This is incredibly possible for one drummer to play.

Oh. "Dance on a volcano" from A trick of the tail, bu Genesis is in deed in 7/8. And the solo part of "The cinema show" also by Genesis.

Here's a very obscure (and very subtle) example of a song with a confusing intro: "Black Rose", from the cult GameCube psychological horror game _Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem._ The intro is sparse, consisting of four bells tolls, each two measures apart, and ambient rain and thunder sounds. Once the guitar and synths start coming in, you (might) realize that not only are the bells _not_ sounding on the downbeat, they're a _sixteenth note_ before beat 2 (the "a" in "one-ee-and-a").

was showing the dave matthews band example on spot #41 on purpose? great video btw!

I believe Stay Alive by Jose Gonzalez starts in 7/4 time and shifts to 3/4 in the middle of the song, it really tripped me out the first few times I heard it.

Golden brown by The Stranglers has a lot of 7

Up the Hill Backwards by Bowie

Genesis, Cinema show.

You don't need 7/4 time. All you need is love...um, which is in 7/4 time. Never mind.

Now find 198 songs in 19 8 time! 🤪🤣

When I was younger I wrote in 7/4 a lot. For some reason it just seemed natural.

I don't get it, I don't hear it.

Tears Roll Down

Let’s see how you can find 1916 songs in 19/16 😂

Those two Sting songs from the same album sound like the same song - same tempo, same style, almost identical groove and instrumentation, same key.

I don't mean to crowbar her into this comment section, but this video could not have been more timely, since a song in 7/4 time is currently charting on the Billboard Hot 100 as of this video's release. That song just so happens to be The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived by Taylor Swift. Seriously. I didn't believe it either, but it's clearly in 7/4. Honestly, this just makes me wonder when the last time a song in 7/4 or 7/8 charted on the Hot 100.

Some (21) more songs in 7/4 or 7/8: Pisces (Intro + Verses) - Jinjer Puzzle Box (Verse 2) - Haken \/ Initiate (Verses) Cockroach King (One of the solos) The Strain Canary Yellow Nightingale (First chorus) Taurus (Last Chorus) Crystallised (First verses) Barstool Warrior (Intro + Verse 2) - Dream Theater Stranger Things (Chorus) - Periphery Lune The Bad Thing (Second verse, switches between 7/4 and 8/4) Relentless Mutation (I genuinely have no idea how you'd class this section but you'll know it when you hear it) - Archspire Selkies: The Endless Obsession (Main riff) - Between the Buries And Me Lay Your Ghosts To Rest (Intro, switches between 7/8 and 4/4) CMND/CTRL (The entire song, switches between 7/4 and 4/4) - Deftones Flying Whales (Main riff, technically 6/4 + 8/4, but that's pretty much a large bar of 7/2 innit) - Gojira Bilateral - Leprous Forced Entry (Last verse) Moon Inertiatic ESP (Bridge) - The Mars Volta

Little Blue Girl Upside Down by Tori Amos ?

Jive Talking seems similar to Heart of Glass.

12:13 I'm new to harmonic function but this seems wrong... without playing other chords, how can a major chord imply tension instead of rest? A 1 in Fmaj sounds no different than a 4 in Cmaj without the surrounding context... so then, how can you say this progression BEGINS in subdominant function? Wouldn't it sound no different than a tonic since it's intervalic content is the same? Seems to me, F is our tonic and we are in Lydian. Why can't we call this a I, V, II, II progression? Just trying to understand! I've been really enjoying all your chord progression videos, appreciate all of the real life examples and the production quality! Thanks!

overall i loved the beatles version just to see em all together in some kind of entity again and the actual song has that nice simplistic characteristiic their lyrics carry. i love the idea that they made the now and then longing kind of a song to almost like a hey man be there for me every once in a while. we all knew paul would take liberties, but i sincerely wouldve loved, on the i dont want to lose you part where john falls off, that paul and ringo sing a line similar to how they fill in in the chorus. wouldve made it a more complete song and add some fun complexity changes the beatles are musically famous for. crazy changes in music that still work. all in all its on the playlist and im certainly thrilled.

A substantial chunk of breakcore pioneer Venetian Snares' discography is in 7/4, to the point that it's almost considered his signature as a producer. Kind of surprised none of his work was mentioned, although I guess the drum patterns in his work are complex enough that it's kind of hard to keep track of what the time signature even is a lot of the time.

Judge jury and executioner - Atoms for peace The cinema show - Genesis (7/8, solo) The battle of Epping Forest - Genesis Nos siguen pegando abajo - Charly García (7/8)

I think "Tattooed Love Boys" by the Pretenders might be.

Good for her, 7/4 is funky as hell

Some more in 7 time: The Pretenders "The Wait" & a bunch of Steely Dan songs.

Also one of my favorites: Laps in 7 by Sam Bush

The battle of epping forest by Genesis

Right Hand Man by Joan Osborne is in 7/4. When listening to Lloyd Webber musicals, it's fun to find where he uses 7/8 or 7/4. Heaven On Their Minds from JCS. AC/DC from Starlight Express. Mungojerrie and Rumpleteaser from Cats. Not so prevalent in Phantom but you get the idea.
