The moment you finished your first run through the chord progression on your keyboard, I thought "I know a song like that! But what is it exactly?" Then you played a snippet from Build Me Up Buttercup and I said, "That's it!" I'm old enough to have heard that song on the radio when it was new. I never liked it, but I didn't forget it! The chord progression is pretty.
Your channel is an absolute gem! The way you present educational content is not only informative but genuinely inspiring. And those thumbnails-wow!

I bought a car once that had a stereo with a tape that wouldnt eject. The radio didn't work either. I had to drive from Marseille to Gibraltar and back in that car. The tape was the Eagles greatest hits. I bloody knew it was Desperado as soon as you played it.
I didn't realize the pattern was so common. The only song I knew with that pattern was "I'll Never Cry" by Alice Cooper. I just learned now that Dear Prudence, Build Me Cup Buttercup, and a lot more songs I knew, were using that same structure. I learned something new today, thansk! 🙂
Ukulele player watching for educational purposes... Absolutely amazing progression that opens up a very interesting finger practice for chording. To play this I use my pinky for C, my ring for C7, my middle goes where my index would go while my ring goes where the middle usually goes for F because that makes an easy transition for Fm by using the index on the fourth string, first fret, keeping the middle on the first fret second string, and dropping the pinky to the C chord position for an easy up to reach start again. Thank you, David, for another amazing lesson in chord progressions!
Dear Prudence actually has another level of complexity which i find is very important for the sounding of the song, when you play the G And the Gm chord you keep the F# from the D’s, thus making it Gmaj7 And GmMaj7 (also serving as a pedal note between all 4 chords). Had to point that out, its my favorie Beatles song and favorite song of all time :)
Crying by Roy Orbison uses a variation: the second chord is a I+ chord rather than I7. On the ‘when I saw you last night you held my hand so tight’ line
That's kinda the way all of our music systems evolved. Monophonic melodies that move stepwise are natural to sing and simple to work out on rudimentary stringed and wind instruments. That eventually gave way to polyphony and the development of systematized music, all favoring stepwise motion. Eventually leading to now, when we're talking about pop music which isn't typically concerned with thinking outside the box. Our biology hasn't really changed in all this time. So the fundamentals of music, stepwise motion and the harmonic ratios of 1/1, 1/3 and 1/2 will continue to be pleasing to most people in most scenarios. Assuming we're even still around in another thousand years, the music will be very familiar even if incidental things like pitch collections and meaning have changed.
Unrelated, but I love seeing people whose favorite artists are The Beatles and Radiohead also like artists like Phoebe Bridgets and Lana Del Rey. I’m so used to UA-camrs saying “I like this genre and this genre only. Do not ask me to listen to anything else,” that it’s nice to see people like various types of music
@@grahamdowney5550 Typically the ones who are very music-focused, especially music theory-focused, are pretty open minded. But there are a lot of channels that are like “ALL MUSIC IS SOULLESS EXCEPT CLASSIC PROG ROCK,” or “EVERYTHING EXCEPT HIP HOP IS TRASH” very confidently, and they often are quick to say something is bad either before they listen to it or because in their particular group it’s uncool to like it so they just immediately flock to saying how bad it is. And, of course, “I like a little bit of everything” is now considered fence sitting, so people are afraid to reach out. It’s just that a lot of channels that show up on my recc are extremely elitist and its nice to see someone open minded enough to like more than one thing
It has a yearning/longing quality to it, especially in _White Christmas_ and _Part of Your World_ . Note that it's the progression beneath the lyric "how I long to be" in _When the Saints Go Marching In_ .
The coolest chord progression I've ever seen is | C CM7 | C7 F | Fm C | D D F C | which sounds amazing but also has this cool feature where notes are going down in semitones from C note although till the E note. That's a lot of semitones in a row.
My favorite so far is Dm Am B A Not sure how it's called but I believe it's iv i II I Whenever I hear it I immediately recognize it, pretty sure Rammstein Zeit and Amorphis Tuonela use this :)
@@nosson77 This chord progression reminds me of a song I can’t remember the name of, so I guess I’ll ask where were the times you’ve heard it to jog my memory? (I love this one too by the way)
NOFX uses this progression in their punk rock masterpiece "The Decline." It happens twice in the song, first in instrumental version at three minutes and 48 seconds, and later at five minutes and 50 seconds in the "I wish I had a shilling" section. Sorry to type out the times. I'm trying to avoid UA-cam creating a time stamp for this video.
Another fun variaton on this progression that The Beatles used is in I Saw Her Standing There, just replacing the iv with its relative major, the bVI: I, I7, IV, bVI
David, For future videos, Linda Rondstadt did an amazing live version of “Desperado” in 1977. Perhaps that will get you past a copyright block. Her version is inspirational, and always leaves me in tears.
I use this progression myself, in my song "Celia" (rounded on a tonic pedal point note). There's also a related pattern where the third chord in the pattern is the tonic, with IV/iv/I/I7 then becoming into I/i/V/V7. The bridge of The Beatles' "I'll Follow the Sun" is one song which uses it.
Usually, in cases like "Part Of Your World," I follow with a I in the first inversion, so it moves even more smoothly from the iv. It's that thing where a borrowed chord or accidental makes a melody glue in your head, like the sharp near the end of "Rainbow Connection."
I like how I know EXACTLY what note you're talking about in Rainbow Connection, and you're 1000% right. "One day we'll find it, the rainbow connect > _ION_
I discovered this progression on guitar by accident. I often play A and then A7/G. Has a nice sound. I also like D/F# and Dm/F and often play with bass lines over various chords, so it just popped out naturally in A: A A7/G D/F# Dm/F. I never noticed the connection to so many other songs. I did notice the WHH descending bass line, which I knew from many songs, including dear prudence. When I find really interesting is playing around with the B, C#, and D notes, because you can get some interesting flavours, like Asus4, Asus2, Dmaj7, D6, Dm(maj7), and Dm6. My favourite is the transition from D/F# to Dm(maj7)/F to Dm6/F.
I think loves in need of love today uses that but I’m not sure. Also I love how in older music it was kinda only used as a transitioning chord progression but by the time of contemporary pop it can be used as a droning chord progression to fill the whole song/verse
I just watched this. Inspiring and beautiful sounds to use in my own songwriting. Also, although I sing jazz as well as other stuff, I have never heard of “Magnolia’s Wedding”. I will ask the guys about it. And I’ll listen out for it in different songs, and in classical music too. Lovely live piano improv at the end. Thank you 🦋
“Louisiana Fairy Tale”, Fats Waller’s version, was used for many years on US public television as the theme for “This Old House”. I heard it every week for years, so the Magnolia progression is burned into my DNA 😊
I'm pretty sure "Arrancarmelo" by Wos also has this chord progression. You should look into argentinian music, I promise you we have excellent stuff! Love your videos, man, you're amazing.
When I saw the progression I immediately thought of The Fear by Lily Allen and was waiting for it as I was watching, at times wondering if I had misremembered the second chord in that song. I was relieved when it came up, but then it occured to me that it could be her in the thumbnail of the video (I'm not familiar with what she looks like). A quick search suggests that this is indeed the case. A product of my music consumption habit is that I don't necessarily know what many musical artists look like.
"It's My Party" by Lesley Gore ("...and I'll cry if I want to") "Sloop John B" by the Beach Boys ("I wanna go home...") "Nobody Does It Better" by Carly Simon ("The way that you hold me...")
@@DavidBennettPiano Hmm I reloaded the webpage and Chapters aren't there anymore, at least at this moment, in case that is reparable. (Or unless it was deliberate) (Maybe Don Henley did it !!)
Skeleton Appreciation Day by Will Wood and the Tapeworms uses the same chord progression for the verses and then uses the creep progression for the choruses very fun usage of the progression
Great video as always! It’s quite interesting to analyse these chords in terms what could be possibly played over them. I guess that it could be moving from C major to C Mixolydian over middle chords?
Saw her perform it live and both me and the guy next to me had tears streaming down our faces. Same with Lizzy McAlpine’s Staying, which was also in this video
My favourite use of this progression is in 'Memory Lane' by Elliott Smith. Granted it's an altered version, but it really does sound nostalgic - perfect for a trip down memory lane.
Kinda similar chord progression was used in Queen song called "Spread your Wings". It also has that major to seventh and major to minor movement. I would love to see a video about it! 😊
This chord progression is actually pretty common in classical music. Take the opening to Schumann’s Piano Quintet for example, with the last chord being slightly different.
I’ve got a video on a very similar chord progression to that ua-cam.com/video/-DQJmicTFGQ/v-deo.htmlsi=jqTfHjIY2zUj1kLz Also, I believe Millennium is directly based on “I Will Survive” hence the same chord progression 😀
Take the 4 C C7 F Fm but forget the chords, as a surprising number of hit songwriters do, who can't read music OR know chords (I know, shocker. They just "feel" them). Just do these 4 pairs: the top notes are E E C C. The lower side of the pairs is descending C, Bflat, A, Aflat. It's just a transposition of a selected 2 notes of each chord. Try it! (try the tempo of Desperado)
Those 4 transpositions feel more familiar to me in my name-that-tune mind then the chords (I do read music and know standard chords BTW). Is there a name for locking the "high note" and crescendo-ing the chord below? Like Greatest Love of All: I do a C over G (so a transposed C), then C over G#, C over A, C over A#. Does that construction have a "diatonic name" ?
I adore the way you share how you hear Music - kindred souls; however, your talent is a wee stronger than mine😂. Keep up the great work. I’ve been a musician my entire life… And I am older than you… But I always learn something from you. Merry Christmas, mate. 🎸👨⚕️🫶✌️♾️. 🌲🎄🎅🏻🍂🍁🌨️
Here's the first place I thought of the progression being once you played it- Nintendo! In the tune I heard in my head, it was C F/C Fm/C C and the melody I heard over the top of it was (slows down throughout) [C] C-G-E [F] A-B-A [Fm] Ab-Bb-Ab [C; this last part is basically a trill] G-F-G
Is there a music theory term for when you use this type of chord progression (let's say C C7 F Fm), but the melody stays within the "original" key throughout and doesn't change to suit the chords outside of the key? Like not going to Eb in the melody over the F minor chord, but rather sticking with E instead (a.k.a. sticking to the key of C major for the melody, even over the Fm chord)?
I'm replying in the hope it gets me notified when someone answers. Here's another to think of. On Greatest Love of All just play the chords with 2 fingers, the right one also being E. The left, 4 beats each, are G, G#, A, A#. Similar sentiment to your question, which I'm also intrigued by. I think you're saying high notes E E C C over C Bflat A, Aflat. just a "2 finger chord" on each.
One of my favorites. I am guilty of using it far too often in my writing. I like to start with a maj7 chord to add even more of this chromatic movement.
I love progressions like this so much
Same
I wrote a short ditty with this chord progression
His videos explaining chord progressions like this are my favorites

i like trying to guess what beatles song he'll talk about before i watch
Beatles and Radiohead are pretty much guaranteed hits in David Bennett Bingo.
I thought he was going to mention "I'll Follow The Sun"
I'm not there yet. I'm guessing Dear Prudence
Can’t blame them for inventing modern music.
I never imagined songs like Build Me Up Buttercup and Part of Your World sounding similar!!!
Thanks David.
"Desperately futile attempt to avoid a copyright claim" made me cackle, welcome to the UA-cam experience!

You could say it was a desperado attempt
They do tend to be desperados. Hey it is their legacy.

It's amazing how much of Western music is going down either one semitone or one scale step at a time.
That's kinda the way all of our music systems evolved. Monophonic melodies that move stepwise are natural to sing and simple to work out on rudimentary stringed and wind instruments. That eventually gave way to polyphony and the development of systematized music, all favoring stepwise motion.

"Sloop John B" by the Beach Boys ("I wanna go home...")
"Nobody Does It Better" by Carly Simon ("The way that you hold me...")

thought this was about Carti for 2 seconds
that Magnolia only has two chords
My favourite example is Zak and Sarah by Ben Folds. Those chords create a sense of melancholy in an otherwise very busy, upbeat song.

i think the sample that Chirp from minecraft (and a song from Little Big Planet that i cant remember) use this if not a similar version!
This must be why Aimee Mann uses the progression on Save Me, from Magnolia's soundtrack!
As I was viewing this video, the outro to "The Diary of Horace Wimp", by ELO, kept going round and round in my head.
This progression is like the close cousin of the more popular "Creep Chord Progression".
You neglected Dylan's "Simple Twist Of Fate." It departs slightly by inserting a minor third chord between The I and the I7.
Alice Cooper - I never cry also uses that progression
