Top Comments of this video!! :3
David Bowie was a master in using strange chord progressions and this has been said by the musicians who worked with him over the years. One of the jazz musicians who worked with him on his last album was absolutely amazed by the very strange chords he used. there is an interview from him on this platform wich is very enlightning.

Thereās a song by David Bowie called āFive Yearsā. The song itself is really depressing as it discusses how the world is dying and only has five years left to live. Anyways, near the end of the song in the chorus, there is a guitar solo that captured my attention immediately when I first listened to it because of how out of place it sounded. It is my favorite part of the song and I always say how it reminds me of somebody crying or weeping. Although it sounds so weird compared to the other instruments in the background, it captures the meaning and vibe of the song, beautifully.

Duuuude! I am so happy the youtube algorithm brought me to your channel! We need more of people like you, Charles Cornell, Rick Beato etc. out there. The way you guys are able to communicate these advanced harmonic concepts to the layman is wonderful to see. I am a music educator myself and seeing how you guys teach us is a wonderful example to follow into my own classroom.

ā ļø NOTE: The publisher filed a copyright claim and I had to remove the excerpt of Creep. Sorry! Luckily Steven Universe's chord progression sounds exactly the same. š“ Also thanks for your concern everyone but I sleep just fine, dark circles are genetic and my father and grandma had them too! I want to clear some things up with the theory. Yes I know modal interchange and borrowed chords exist, I am not at all suggesting that we can't get a perfectly clean analysis of any of these songs with those frames of reference. I love modal interchange and use it all the time! What Iām presenting here is just another lens to look at things, which supports and does not deny the modal relationship between these chords. The reason āmultipolar tonalityā, which yes is a term someone recently made up, is being used here is because weāre specifically looking at key centers. Not just using colorful chords from similar modes, but how those chords suggest different keys within a passage. What makes the theory interesting, and different from modal interchange, is that while you can use modal interchange for an isolated chord, the ākey fluctuationsā happen at the phrase level. So a phrase with the chords āC Ebā would not really make sense in the context of multipolar tonality. āRelative Multipolar Tonalityā is not in itself particularly interesting and I think many people are overthinking it. Itās just talking about music that flows between a major key and itās relative minor, thatās all. Itās a stepping stone to the more colorful and interesting versions of multipolar tonality that are not discussed in this specific video.
