Analyzing great progressions is not just an academic exercise- it's a way to introduce new movements and musical effects to your composition lexicon. In this video, we're taking a look at Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man", which is in the key of C Major and uses all of the garden variety diatonic chords in the key (save B diminished). In addition, it uses several borrowed chords and/or secondary dominants, and is structured in a way to really get as much juice out of the C Major/A Minor tonality as possible.
A few things to note- Pop music is not classical music. And pop can not always be described in traditional terms like Roman Numeral analysis easily. However I think it's worth a try, and I've made some less-than-popular notations that are worth explaining. I name a Csus2/B and notate it as Isus2/7, which is to imply it's the Tonic Chord (I) and it's sus2, but it's over the 7th tone of the key (B).
During that part of the video I keep calling it a C but it's really a Csus2. You can also think of it as a Gadd11/B, then it would be a V chord. One other option there for that one chord would be an Emb6, it should provide a similar "slide" from the Am to the C.

This also follows the verse structure of “srdc” which is “statement, restatement, departure, and conclusion. Its a really common verse structure thats been used since the days of the blues. State something twice, then leave home with something different, then return for an ultimate resolution.

It does feel very conflicted, like a battle between positivity and negativity. Much like one might feel after a breakup. Musically, it is really good.

This is the equivalent to English teachers diving deeper into the book than the actual author did

I must say that I can't understand not even 1% of the knowledge in music theory presented on the video. That being said, I love listening to music and feeling it and I could totally feel what you meant (or what I think you meant). Great job man. I was almost in tears watching this and felt like someone was holding my hand into a whole new world of possibilities. You are connecting to people in amazing ways. Thank you so so much for this video. Best video I've seen in a while

Yes, more songwriting techniques and breakdowns. The theory stuff is awesome too. Keep doing what you're doing, your awesome man, Thank you.

A Day In The Life is an example of a perfect progression

This is a great lesson in connecting music knowledge with your emotional response. There’s so much value in asking yourself “how does this musical device/chord/technique make me feel?”. Writing becomes a lot more intuitive once you combine knowledge with emotion.

Your grasp of the music/chord theory is incredible! Your grasp of the lyrics is... well... approximate. But seriously, thanks for all you do, man.

I'd love more analysis videos of individual peices.
And the theory videos.
And the original song videos.
And.... yeah you get the idea :-)

Great job - I could only understand what you were saying because of all your other videos, which I love. Thanks.

Such a great video! Perfect balance between totally needing out, and also talking about feel and complete subjectivity. Honestly one of the best music theory videos on YouTube. Thank You so much for this

You are hands down the best Music teacher I've ever had. You make things like modal interchange, modes, secondary dominants and every other aspect of music theory so simple to understand. THANK YOU and please keep them coming!
