Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
At about 10 minutes when the line cliche ends in Fm - Bb, I hear Fm as a ii chord and Bb as a dominant. Then when the melody comes back in, it feels like the harmony has just sort of eased back into the key of Bb.
Also, in general I love modulating up a half step without warning and also modulating up a tritone without warning. If you’re looking for a jolt of energy it’s a cool thing to try.
Really amazing video. Having the stems to work from must have been both a blessing and a curse with how much more detailed you could get.
