I don’t know why, but the chord progression on this song feels medieval

I love the piano solo on this. It's pretty simple, starts mostly pentatonic but gets jazzier. Would be fun to transcribe


...

Makes me want to dance in a way most jazz doesn't

Classic i-ii-V progression, but shifts a few keys down in the chorus

Interesting deviation from a normal iv-i-V chord progression here

Only here do the drums break into a standard rock beat. The bass begins to play root notes. Finally breaking into a rock rhythm creates this triumphant feeling, fitting after such a long buildup.

Here the song enters a bridge like section, the chords change slightly, a flute enters with a new melody, the bass begins to play more traditionally, and some light percussion begins, mostly cymbals.

I quite like the #bass part on this - feels almost baroque?

The lyrics here reference the chord progression used in the song - "4 7 3 6 2 5 1 to put my mind at ease" refer to the chords used in the song.

The lyrics immediately before this are "Someone wrote this song before, and I could tell you where it's from" - which makes sense, because they're the chords to album art for Autumn LeavesAutumn Leaves, a well known jazz standard.

Weirdly self referential/meta lyrics!

This song's structure is quite interesting - the chords don't change at all throughout the song, save for some slight deviations in the middle.

For the first half of the song, there aren't any drums, and the #bass plays quite melodically - in a higher range, and it doesn't outline the root notes very strictly.

This is simply one of my favorite songs of all time, it fills me with feelings of peace and tranquility, but also a feeling of yearning and sadness. It's bittersweet.

the #synth #solo on this plays slightly outside in a way that shouldn't be too crazy to #transcribe

could be an easy starting point for trying to learn more harmonically adventurous solos

absolute banger of a #bass line

I feel like something is strange about the #harmony

The hook "am i wrong to assume" sounds like it's in some weird mode, not sure which

The #chinese name for this band translates to "Omnipotent Youth Society", which has to be one of the sickest band names ever

I like the #acoustic #rhythm #guitar chords here as well. The chords change slightly in the middle as well, which is interesting.

One of my favorite #chinese songs.

Gives me the impression of a #dao ist sage sitting in a #mountain , contemplating life.
