The smoothest set of key changes I’ve ever heard. Not sure anyone other than BW could have made them sound so effortless. Plus the extended version on the box set really rocks
Not too technical at all, there aren't enough music theory channels covering Brian Wilson compositions. That could really be your niche, there's an appetite for music theory.
I think Brian was partly inspired by a hit song from '67 that also had a great chord progression with neat key changes: Spanky & Our Gang's LAZY DAY. I like to think he challenged himself to come up with his own great tune with interesting changes. The part in This Whole World that goes, "lots of different people everywhere," has a feel similar to Lazy Day's little pre-chorus section, "and what a day for holdin' hands and bein' with you.."
Love this song. One of my favourite videos on youtube is your recreation of the guitar parts, I listen to that all the time. That Dminor7 on Harpsichord has a very Brian Wilson vibe to it, very Surfs Up. Please go into as much music theory as you fancy, I for one love it.
A part two, with the whole progression laid out for the 1:55 version on Sunflower would be a great finale--and I think Steve has an intriguing idea that you might follow up with at the piano. More on this song can never be a bad idea!
A great song and surely a hit record had it been released in th UK shortly after Cotton Fields which was a number one in some countries, No 5 in the UK.

Thank you for explaining why the F major to A major transition sounds pleasing.

Answering the question from 6:35
Totally Agree - doing what Alan Pollack did for the Beatles but in video form!

what are the chords in Lazy Day?
@@ronfowlermusic transposing the song to C major, that part is: [C] and [Eb]what a day for [Bbm] holding hands and [Fm7] [Bbm]being with [G7] you.
Love it! Keep it up!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yes, part 2, please. This is one song I could never figure out on my own, needed a chord chart. Add Some Music is a bit easier!
