Sarcasm?

Cause I just tried and I had to wait an 8-count until the chorus and a 4-count until the second verses, but yes it does fit just less than the other 2 examples

Not sarcasm I tried it and it fit a lil

I think that's because of her cadence (in both instances). But yeah...there are only so many keys that work in pop song. When Katy and Bonnie work together, they almost always use four chord minor basic chord progression.

Her tracks with just Max, Greg (and the other Greg), Sarah and Luke, Tricky, Ballard, etc. are very different.

mess @ goldsoundz serving the scalding hot tea one post at a time.

You can use the same progression and make a song sound completely different. See: "Always Be My Baby," "All I Want For Christmas Is You," and "Touch My Body." Pop music theory is really simple.

LFN: B G#m D#m C# B in F#
Hot N' Cold: G D Am C in G

Not too different.

ET: Fm G# Fm G# in Fm
Roar: A# A# Gm Gm in A#

The only similarity they share is that they're two chord progressions.

But look:

Walking On Air:
Verse: A# A# Gm Gm
Chorus: D D D D F#m E C# D in F#m

TIHWD (very 90's Alt. Rock, which is why it sounded bizarre with its production...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6P0SitRwy8; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkFH0KMO0G0):
Am G C F in Am

BTGOG:
Verse: Gm D# A#m A#m
Chorus: D# A F Gm in A#

Hummingbird:
Verse/Chorus: F G Em F in Em
Bridge: Am G C F (in F major!)

"Dark Horse"
F# C# Am# G# in A#m

"Birthday"
E C#m E (in B major! I bet she wrote a lot of it...)


Double Rainbow:
C G Am F (in C major!)

This stuff interests me. I know it's terribly boring to most.

ETA: I analyze the **** out of everything (that interests me)...it helps in my profession, haha.

Yeah the argument wasn't that her discography is the same song over and over or something. That's a silly point to make based on chord progression.

It was just a suggestion for fun and a little IS promo . Don't over-think everything.

No. Not really. You're just proving that you know more about music than 80... wait 90.... scratch that...... still being generous...... 95% of ATRL.

Most of the divas here preach as if they know 50% of what there saying.

OT: SO EXCITED FOR NEW MATERIAL FROM KATY. Can't wait

Bonnie my homegirl you need to spice it up. You're a classically trained pianist; don't tell me no one ever taught you some advanced chord theory sis. Embrace those accidentals!


And why does the actual key interest you, goldsoundz? Are you saying those particular chord progressions are unusual for the key the song was written in? I don't know much about theory myself tbh. I need to learn. My old piano teacher told me I was naturally extremely musical... can't let that go to waste. Let me become Katy's next Sarah Hudson.

I wish I could read music

It is always a pleasure to read your posts when you get all insight into music.

Reading music =/= you know all this. I've been able to read music for about a decade now but I never learned my theory.

Guys.

I'm so confused. Whats the deal here? BB was written ABOUT who? Sky? And the song was pitched to Katy for PRISM, but she rejected? So why the heck is Taylor going off in Rolling Stone mag about BB being about sum1 who tried to sabotage her tour by taking ppl from under her? The song doesnt give THAT much info away, so why did she spat all that info out, about Katy or not??? Wow... someone please clear this up cuz I'm am even more fuming than before.

Goldsoundz, can you share the LL acapella please?

[katycat737]

But why Katy rejected Bad Blood but put tracks like This Is How We Do and International Smile on PRISM?
