Any idea why they did that, Keira?
I have no idea why they changed it.
BTS or Taio Cruz? E major or C# minor?
The BTS one clearly resolves to E major and vi - ii - V - I is about as basic as it gets in terms of major key chord progressions, so I don’t see any good reason to put that one in C# minor.
The Taio Cruz one is much more ambiguous. Although the progression does technically contain a V - I cadence to E major, it doesn’t really sound like a point of resolution due to the short duration and the way that it’s followed by A major.
Usually the first chord is percieved as the tonic when a progression is tonally ambiguous, but in this case none of the chords really sound resolved, so I think C# minor and E major are equally reasonable.
Wikipedia and musicnotes are databases of user submitted content. By citing these sources you’re basically just copying the opinion of some random stranger on the internet.
If you want to back up your own opinion with “proof”, you’d better look for a statement from a professional music theorist, but you’re unlikely to find something like that in the realms of commercial pop music.
Try listening to Dynamite by BTS, see if it sounds major to you.
Oh, it’s supposed to modulate a whole step to Gb major (or Eb minor?) during the final chorus.
I wouldn’t have said it clearly resolves to E major if I hadn’t listened to it beforehand. E major is the tonic, without question.
I’ve listened to it several times, and heard the Gb major modulation.
can yall move this to another forum post thanks
dont get your info from wikipedia as there can be people who edit them to random stuff and it might take time for people to revert their edits
Sorry about that, trli.
