Why You Feel Nostalgia from this Angsty Chord

What happens when you mix the chords from relative major and minor keys? 🎹 Is This Book the Key to Anime & J-POP Music? It turns out that Relative Multipolar Tonality, an idea outlined by Kayano Chino in the book Japanese Music Harmony, is not that unusual a harmonic technique. We look at a handful of American and British pop songs that all use a mixture of chords from the major key and its relative minor. Songs included: Such Great Heights by The Postal Service Cryin’ by Aerosmith Don’t Look Back in Anger by Oasis I Want To Hold Your Hand by The Beatles Creep by Radiohead Steven Universe Opening by Rebecca Sugar Space Oddity by David Bowie 🥳 Check out my new course Pillars of Composition! 🏛 Learn how to compose music! ➔ 🧙 Compose in the style of Harry Potter: 🎓 Study with me ➔ 🎼 Early access, exclusive content and more on Patreon ➔ 📫 Join my newsletter for updates and more ➔ 🤖 Come join us on DISCORD! 🏆 Composing Competitions every 3 months! @composingcompetitions _____________________________________ FOR MUSICIANS 🎶 ScoreClub - *OUTSTANDING* composition courses including “Orchestrating the Line” which completely changed my approach to writing music.
