    Thank you so much for this series.
    I've played everything I could get my hands on for 40 years and could always learn what I hear.
    However, I thought some people were writters and some weren't. Through your help I'm realizing quickly how to give emotional ground to the messages.
    Never been an emotional musician but was always emotional thru life. So nice to put the two together.
    Thank you.

    The I-iii (C to Em) is really used well in space oddity. Ground control to major Tom (em there) Really gives a sense of being far away as the iii chord feels furtherest away from resolving to the I

    Thanks and so grateful for the explanation...
    But I have a question...
    What If the songwriter is intentionally unwilling to reveal the sadness "A minor" and wants to cover it with a "G major" (this with C major as the first) ... What if the songwriter wants the listener experience his or her "smile covering the sadness"..... What's the best way to do that??
