Raised choruses
Because I'm currently very interested in songwriting I browsed through some articles about songwriting and stumbles over one saying it's a common trick in pop music to have the last chorus of a song raised half a step. That makes sense / I think I've heard it in a trillion songs but I can't think of any specific ones. Anyone?
|
probably on like all those shit emo records being put out these days
i can't think of any specifically but im familiar with the trick |
Fuck theory, I play deconstuctionist rock.
|
It's the case in Good vibrations (from the bridge).
I don't think it's used that often (at least in the "pop" I listen to). |
I just said this topic to my girlfriend without reading her the rpelies and she said "man, i can think of TONS of songs like that!" I siad, "Like what?" And she goes "I dunno. TONS do that!"
|
Yeah, I've asked a few people, too. Everyone reacted exactly like that.
|
Britney's toxic and the third verse of every shit Oasis song ... Wonderwall? I would've thought it's more common to go up by a fifth, but then maybe that doesn't make sense... hmm.
|
A lot of gospel - and as a result, R&B and soul - music does this.
|
i think maybe the dylan song pressing on might do this? pretty sure it was from his jesus period.

A friend showed me this song by a shitty german band, although I guess it's a whole step actually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJEb8BNBib0
Bad example. I'd prefer something like Queen. Isn't Queen a band that is supposed to do that? |
Mouse - A Public Execution
It's on the Nuggets compilation, and it's considered the best ever imitation of Bob Dylan. |
