HannahG123 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Purely for my own curiosity, which - if any - muse songs have prominent key changes? I just realised that I can't think of any that do, that being a good thing as it adds to the cheese factor *cough* westlife kings of key changes *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haze015 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Bliss has a strange one, verses are in Cminor and the chorus is Cmajor. No idea how that works, but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum IV Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Take a Bow is probably their most modulation-heavy song, starting in D and going through 13 key changes before ending in B. Exogenesis is also full of key changes. Bliss isn't the only song with a minor/major shift. Screenager goes from Gm to G in the chorus. B&H is mostly in Dm, except for the piano solo which is in D. There are also numerous Muse songs which flirt with relative and parallel keys, so effectively the song is using elements of two or three different keys without actually modulating.

Sir Arthur Erased Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Bliss goes from C Minor to C major in the chorus Screenager also goes from G minor to G major in the chorus Butterflies and hurricanes starts in D minor but has more tonal variation in the piano solo, seeming initially to be in D major but then has a lot of chromatic chords to that key. Yeah, Take a Bow is based upon regular modulations. constantly modulating to the subdominant during the verses. There's a small passage in Invincible when the distorted bass enters, this is in C minor instead of C like the rest of the song. Knights of Cydonia modulates betweens the opening solos and verses, but I can't remember the keys. Cross-Pollination starts of very chromatically in the piano solo but then is in F minor for the 'wade above the clouds' bit, and then modulates to C minor for the 'spread our codes' bit. Those are what I can remember from the top of my head, there are probably others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Ah yeah, I forgot about Knights. It goes Em -> Cm -> G♯m -> Em, but the transitions happen in the middle of each "section" between the intro and the second half of the song. Weird stuff.

HannahG123 Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 I guess I've been forgetting all the different 'sections' to muse songs, like B&H Take a bow knights etc, being usually different keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
