Near the climax of the White Stripes’ cover of Conquest, Jack sings a big key change, but then when the instruments drop back in they ignore it, which fucking rules

this has a brief delicious key change in the main chord progression

this has a simple whole tone up A major->B major, but it’s so well-done
i wrote (am still writing to some degree) a song that is in A minor (though it kinda feels equally like F lydian) that modulates to C minor for the chorus and B minor for the bridge and i’m pretty chuffed about the way it moves. key changes between repeated sections of a song are kinda scary to write, but it’s especially fun trying to puzzle out how to get “back” once you’ve migrated out of the original harmonic center, lol

ime most pop music key changes happen in the bridge & then bump up into the chorus, this is a rare key change for the bridge that beautifully returns to the original key for the final chorus, god i miss Tally Hall

“flash” by halcali
was just listening to this song (“Shaking Through” by R.E.M.) this morning for the first time in awhile and completely forgot about the key change until it hit me
it’s just an end of song transpose, or is it? the bassline actually stays the same, forming new and strange harmonies
