RECOMMENDED LISTENING

Based on a loop of four chords, this disarmingly simple modern C# lament is a perfect match for the G# minor key. The chords are Cm - B - m - A, or i - VII - v - VI.

21 PILOTS - HEATHENS

In E minor key, the basis for this tune is a three-chord, VI - iv - i movement ( C - Am - Em). But, in the bars heralding each chorus, there’s a whacking great B major V chord from harmonic minor.
