Stepping outside the box yet again...here is another one of my favorite pop tunes. I like this one for a different reason - from a musical standpoint, it is very well-crafted.
Factoids:
The text is really fantastic in this piece, but the way Mr. Cohen musically paints it, is even more interesting!
The line "It goes like this the fourth, the fifth" are harmonized with IV and V chords.
The text "the minor fall" - is written using a minor third, and harmonized with a minor vi chord.
The "major lift" is harmonized on a major IV chord.
Interesting music theory info about a great tune!
Have fun!
