Mystery and Madness

This week I stumbled upon a series of channels that extensively go over certain rock/pop songs.
When I saw one of my fav radiohead songs there I had to click and give it a looksie.
Analysing Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android”

After noodling around with the chords for funsies I then had a tiny idea to try and use just the different key change sections as inspiration for this week’s track. So for example the verses were in the key of G minor.. then the second section changes to A minor and the third section to C minor. I tried those three keys as a chord progression instead and that got me something slightly different than my usual.
I highly recommend checking out the video above if you’re a fan of music theory/chord breakdowns of songs. David Bennett who did this video also collaborated with the channel ProduceLikeAPro and they have an even more detailed version. David’s is roughly 11mins long while ProduceLikeAPro has an hour long video explaining basically every section, effects use, and even including the guitar solos.
In other news. I just saw that one of my fav childhood movies was released in 4K a few days ago.
