'World's Best Chord Progressions' Ep. 32 - 'Something', The Beatles

There has to be something going on in the extraordinary song 'Something' for it to be one of the best love songs of all time right..!?
In this video I aim to analyse what it is that made Frank Sinatra say it was one of the best love songs of all time. Penned by Geroge Harrison of the Beatles around the same the same time he penned his other masterpiece 'Here comes the Sun' which incidentally far outstrips any Lennon & McCartney song for online streams!
I've chosen to look at the interesting shifts of minor third intervals within the chord progression (C - Eb and F - D) as being an element of mystical/magical flavour which adds to the sense of the mystery of love within the words and also it's extraordinary use of bass movement and a sudden unexpected leap to A major - much like the twists and turns of any love story.
What do yo think? Can you put your thing on the something special in Something? Do you agree it is one of the world's best chord progressions?? And Is it up there with the best of the Beatles back catalogue? Thanks for watching and do message/ comment if there's any songs you'd like me to look at or maybe cover.

How in Gods name is their only 624 views. Your analysis combining theory and love of song is beautiful and should be watched by both musician and lovers of music and … Beatles fans. More please.

Oh wow thanks! To be fair I originally shot this for tik tok which is why it’s portrait…so maybe the RUclips gods are penalising me…? Don’t know though… Anyway if I’ve reached one person in this way than I’m happy, thanks for watching!

Pretty dope, although I’d say unless it’s for short form content ie shorts; you should shoot in landscape and not portrait !

[@manatsea6966]

Cheers! Yes apologies about that. These are all currently uploads that have previously been on Tik Tok (where I have mainly been posting under manatsea.music) - I tried to re format didn't work. The plan is to start making videos direct for RUclips and will definitely produce these in landscape! :)
