Talking about this stuff without saying what kind of music you mean seems a little silly. There is a reference to "one popular song", and it seems the author is thinking of pop music. But it seems most things that can be said about keys/chords in one genre/tradition/style, don't apply to others. And even within genres, things naturally evolve so that old rules no longer apply.
- dizzystar 6y agoThe popular song is "Creep" by Radiohead.
