On today's episode, we hawk a miracle tonic for all those songwriters stuck in a rut. Chord progressions stale? Emotional climax unreachable? Is your song not "karaoke-ready"? Try modulation – otherwise known as a key change!
Push the play button in the next twenty minutes, and we'll throw in a brief explainer on the theory of modulation, a confusing Werner Herzog joke, and a relentless string of analogies comparing key changes to fistfuls of saffron, single-take scenes in movies, and Maradona's "Hand of God" play.
The categories are key changes that are most: joyful; cheap; emotional; unexpected.
Featuring music from O-Town, David Bowie, The Beta Band, The Four Seasons, and more. Wanna hear the full songs? Go to tinyurl.com/spotify-cvc. Key-p the change!
