Are you one of those people who are hopelessly romantic about Christmas, can’t wait to get out the tinsel, decorate the tree and have loved ones over for the Christmas roast?
But then as we get closer to Dec 25th, the oldest of your offspring stills need that costume for the nativity play, his little brother has caught a nasty bug and needs taking to the GP, where you can’t get an appointment for love or money, the nursery is looking for parents to volunteer for their Christmas party and and your brother in law didn’t like his carefully selected present you choose last your, and you haven’t got the faintest idea what to get him this year.
You rush down to Oxford Street to buy those last minute in-law presents, only to find that you can’t move for the sheer mass of human bodies, and Yuletide Spirits seem to have given way to Angry Goblins, and you wonder how it always ends up this way.
If you sympathise with any of the above, then the song below, may well cheer you up .
Words and Music are by David Sharp and Luke Flynn
Vocals were sung by Daniel Bowles
The Movie was put together by Mrs Joanna Sharp
I thought I’d share this great little video by the musical comedy band Axis OF Awesome. In a very funny way they explain how most pop tunes really share the same chord sequence.
Generally people always assume that rock/pop composers sit hunched over their manuscript paper trying to find great and original chord sequences -- this could not be further from the truth. There basically are only a limited number of chord sequences out there, which is why you cannot copyright them -- so you are perfectly entitled to take the chord sequence from Let It Be, and write your own melody over it. The net result is that many, many, many songs share the exact same chord sequence.
In the video below they are singing in the key of E major, and the chord sequence is E, B, C sharp minor, A.
So if you look at the sequence neutral of the key, the sequence is I V VI IV -- so the chords on the 1st [I], 5th [V], 6th [VI] and 4th [IV] degree/not of any major scale)
Therefore in the key of C major this would be the chords of C, G, A minor, F.
In the key of F major it would be the chords: F, C, D minor, Bb
etc…
This is not a music blog at all, but just something funny I wanted to share with you. I’m quite a fan of The Muppets Show and Sesame Street, and especially the Cookie Monster. So anyway, my nephew, Pierre, sent me this hilarious little cartoon, which I’d like to share with you guys:
