| Elliott Smith – Alphabet Town Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| What about the chord progressions in this song? They're quite atypical and some would consider it jarring. Augmented seconds are used in this song, which are sometimes "taboo" in a lot of music. But other parts of the song are more lush and consonant. The song is primarily written in a minor key, but it does occasionally go major for a chord or two. I believe we should use the actual music when analyzing lyrics because it will help us out a lot. | |
