Thank you for the kind words! This made my day!

Thank you!! And that’s a great question! The best quick answer I can give is that the third (the middle note in the chord) is slightly lower in minor chords, meaning that the chord will sound “darker” than a major chord with a slightly higher third. For example, a C major chord is C-E-G, but a C minor chord is C-E flat-G, so the middle note is a half step lower.

Ahh what an oversight 🤦🏼‍♂️ thank you for the correction, I’ll see if I can fix it!

Ahhh thank you!! I really appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much!!

Virginia!

New York!!!

This is my favorite comment I’ve ever received on a video 🙏🏻🙏🏻 you’re spot on, and thank you for being here!!

Yes, RUclips tends to restrict videos with uncensored discussion of certain sensitive topics, so the word is “suicide”. It’s a very common thing on RUclips for creators to “self-censor” certain words so the algorithm doesn’t do it for them!

I just looked at the Wuthering Heights lyrics and you’re definitely on to something!

Hahaha easy mistake to make… and you’re far from the only one to make it! 😂

Absolutely! Haunting is the perfect word.

Right!? I’ve been pleasantly surprised many times. There’s hope for the next generation

The #4 is what stood out to me personally, but you’re absolutely right about the Phrygian elements- they definitely factor into the Arabian/middle-eastern feel!

😄😄😄

Anything with Paul Spector as a producer to The Beatles. There’s a *sick* story there

Just about anything by Steely Dan. You'd enjoy it and so would we.

No apology necessary, that’s a great question! For most of her work (especially her more recent work), she writes the lyrics AND the vocal melody. Her cowriters are primarily her producers, and their writing credits stem from handling the instrumentation, chord progressions, etc. There’s some cross-over- for example, she’ll sometimes assist with the chords/arrangement and sometimes her producers will help with the vocal melody and/or lyrics- but for the most part, for her, that’s how it tends to break down!

@@SongwriterSanctuary Good evening Connor, thanks for the prompt response.🙂 It became even clearer. Well, during my short time as Swifties, I have gathered information about her work. Based on her voice messages, behind-the-scenes videos, and interviews with her co-writers, I realized that she has about 3 songwriting options🤔 Tay says she writes ALL her songs. Probably she always writes lyrics and melody 1. Probably the most frequent. Tay writes lyrics, a vocal melody, chords to this melody (maybe in full, maybe just a chorus, or a verse). She's going to the studio. Her co-writers (Max, Imogen, Jack, Ryan, etc.) write instruments and chords for instruments and receive credits for this 2. Tay gets a ready-made instrumental track with chords. She writes lyrics/melody. And put the melody on the chords from the track and adding your own chords. Also using some melodic lines for some part of the melody. Co-writers receive credits for instrumental and chords 3. 3. Tay writes everything. Lyrics/melody/ chords for melody/ chords for instruments . And she takes all the credits for herself This is my very generalized view based on the information collected. I obviously didn't understand something enough, I'm wrong somewhere. Connor please correct me🧐

Thank you so much!! This made my day!

@@SongwriterSanctuary My pleasure, I'm glad it did 😊​

That’s one I learned early on, too! It was a little advanced for me RIGHT at the start, but I remember my dad playing & singing it for me as a kid. I’ll probably do a video about that one at some point!

You’re right about Claude- I misspoke on that point! However, all the research I did points to them using the mobile studio in conjunction with the casino’s facilities, and they even make reference to that in the song. Do you have a source that says otherwise? I’d love to check it out and make sure I’ve got the story straight!

He is also the founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Dream Police is another great one! I remember learning “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath early on too, and one of my big goals as a young guitarist was to be able to play the opening riff to Boston’s “Peace of Mind”. Lots of great classics to learn!

@@SongwriterSanctuary Yup. Godzilla was another favorite. I wonder what the kids aspire to learn these days. tavi.

Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Love Aerosmith and love that song! I’ll put it on the list!

Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

Thanks so much!!! Based on the feedback I’m getting, I think I’ll definitely have to do a Zappa breakdown… so stay tuned!

He’s on the list!

I’m so glad! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!! You obviously have great taste 😂

Thanks so much!! I didn’t consider that perspective, but it makes perfect sense. I could definitely see this song as a monologue playing in her head while she sits there in silence. That’s a cool thought!

I feel like I addressed this, but I understand if you disagree. Sorry to disappoint!

@@SongwriterSanctuary I'm not sure you know what music theory is

@@lilmsgsexcuse me but what exactly do you know about music theory that hasn’t been addressed in this video if you would be so kind to enlighten us?

@@joshuepico75 I didn't see anything that "redefined pop music theory" as the headline claimed. But please, inform me as to what it is that redefines pop music theory.

Agree to disagree!

Thanks so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

awww! Poor little baby can't accept the fact that Taylor is pretty great! Listen, the guy is giving a pretty critical analysis, but Noooo! It's about Taylor. God forbid that she might be one of the greats!

@@natmirotta517 You're obsessing over a pop-star / gossip machine for teenagers, and I'm the "little baby"? Lol, projecting much? Also, "one of the greats", seriously? If you think that, you wouldn't know the greats if they bit you in the ass!

Is she having a moment? Absolutely. Am I a genuine fan who thinks she’s brilliant? Most definitely. If you think she’s mediocre, this is a fair criticism, but I just don’t agree with the premise!

Peace is another Dessner/Swift song with an unusual relationship between the instrumental track and the melody. Also, it suits the lyrics amazingly.
