    and before i see any comments about it: i got a boy by girls generation is more about song structure than key changes SO if you wanted to see a video about that let me know

    Ah Choo also has a song structure like Pop Pop, F major (verse) -> Eb major (chorus) -> verse -> chorus -> A minor (bridge) -> E major (last chorus)
    Also you should do GFriend's Time For The Moon Night/Crossroads/VIVIZ's Red Sun on the next episode, very interesting songs if we're talking about modulation

    omg i left a comment about stamp on it and savage on another video about key changes, and we picked up on nearly the same things! i thought savage's pre chorus is in f#m tho when i play the piece, but both of the songs are confusing with the chromaticism, frequent shifts of tonal centre and approach to tonality as more of an anchor to move around haha

  • @alezxndre
    @alezxndre Před 7 měsíci +2

    it’s not the lost interesting modulation, but mamamoo’s illella changes keys halfway through the final chorus, rather than at the end of a section! not something you hear super often and i really enjoy its use here!

    Mr. Mr. is actually in the key of G Major that jumps to Ab Major until we finally reach A Major. You were technically a fifth below the intended key, but it’s easy to hear how it could be the aforementioned. Regardless, this was still a great video and you definitely do amazing work and study.

    Funny that you do a video on modulations: recently I’ve been obsessed with Lost Umbrella by Inabakumori which has its own share of key changes
    Btw, I’d love to see you do a video on modes other than ionian (major) and aeolian (minor) in Kpop. Some keys you were confused on can be better explained with them, but I can’t seem to recognize chords for some reason

    corrections (i have perfect pitch btw)
    2:11: the key is A Major, not A Flat Major 💀
    2:46: this sounds like A Minor to me
    3:28 that’s E minor
    3:32 and it transitions into A Flat Major
    3:41 this one is A Major/F Sharp Minor
    4:30 you got C Minor but it changes into E Flat Minor, Not B Flat Minor
    7:05 you got E minor but it changed into F Sharp Minor, Not F Minor
    7:12 this one is also F Sharp Minor/A Major, Not G Sharp (which is technically A Flat Minor)
    7:39 technically this is D Major but I’ll let it slide
    8:25 this is F Sharp Major, not G Major
    8:29 this is A Flat Major

    Just wondering, for Red Light, when you say no other section sounds like the last chorus, do you mean because the vocals are different from the previous choruses? Cause the chorus is the same key throughout the song
