Extraordinary magic chords

Well, here we are again, my doves: another song of mine, another play around in my DAW, and another arrangement that’s closer to what I heard in my head when it was born. Come listen to a song I wrote about hope…

Bastion is an absolutely phenomenal game. In fact, it’s up there as one of my favourite games of all time, that’s how good it is.

A while ago, the sheet music was released for free on the internet by the composer (a very nice chap called Darren Korb) so these aren’t hard to find. Anyhoo, here are the simplified ukulele chords I’m playing for my cover – which can be found up on YouTube right now.

So here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody’s playing songs!

Late in the game, but I finally got around to updating the Advent Calendar Songbook from last year, and it’s ready for you to enjoy. Come get you the ukulele and guitar chords to a cornucopia of Christmas Choons.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is my absolute favourite Christmas movie. It's the best, and anyone who says otherwise can get into the frozen sea.

It Feels Like Christmas is the song that the Ghost of Christmas Present sings. and it's hard as balls to play. (For me at least.)

Come get you some chords for this epic Muppety Christmas carol…

I wrote this song about a week or so ago, and since then I’ve had it playing in my head a few times, at random.

It's the last non-Christmas song I'm planning on uploading for a while, so. let's do this!

This is the first song of mine that I ever played for anyone other than my Kind-Eyed-Boy. I did it at an open mic night and royally messed up after the bridge. Of course, nobody could tell, because nobody knew how it was supposed to go except me.

I sure as heck can’t fingerpick. It’s just not in my DNA. Adam Melchor sure can though, which makes covering Metadata, my fave of his songs, kind of tricky. It means you have to strum either really slow, which kind of kills it, or reallyfastandprobablymessitup.

Come get you my simple chords so you can play this lovely song at your leisure.

I love me some dodie: she's one of the women who inspired me to start my YouTube channel, and to start sharing the songs I write. She's an advocate for a bunch of stuff dear to my heart, and she writes prose well, too. I think she's awesome.

Human is an fantastic track off an excellent EP, and it works well played solo. Come get you some simple ukulele chords.

Another of mine, and one I penned a good while ago now as an exercise in writing something different: it’s a slow, slow, slow song, that’s restricted to a simple melody more-or-less throughout.

Come hear a song called Pegasus.

Kaze No Ne, or Sound of the Wind is a beautiful song from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, a fantastic co-op title for GameCube back in the day, and set to release next year on a bunch of other platforms.

I’ve often thought about sorting some chords for it, and sat down one night a few months ago to hash it out. Here’s my arrangement of chords for ukulele…

Here’s another song of mine. This one has a kind of Dua Lipa vibe which I’m digging. Your mileage may vary…

Working out needs the right music, and never more than on the boring, boring bike. Well, hell’s bells my fellow mistake-makers, do I have some great cardio bike music for you…

I’ve written a load of songs I’m extremely proud of, but that I’m not ready to share yet. Here’s one that I’ve written, that I’m really proud of, but for some reason I’m ready to share.

This song was originally, as far as I figure, sung by a choirboy. He did a great job. Me? Well, I am not a 12-year-old boy.

I sang it anyway.

This is the main end credits theme from Ico, and it’s absolutely beautiful. It still gives me chills. Come get the guitar/ukulele chords!

I did warn you that there’d be a bunch of Billy Joel on here. What can I say? I really like the guy’s music.

New York State of Mind is one of those songs that has just the right whistful feel for a solo acoustic version on ukulele or guitar. Come get you some chords.

As a special birthday treat, I’m going to see Tessa Violet in London tomorrow! SO EXCITED!

It seemed only right then, that this week’s video and chords should be my favourite song of hers. Come get you the chords, and see a video that took two whole days to make…featuring the inimitable Moggy Interloper.

I write songs sometimes. I’ve written a handful that I’m really proud of, either because of what they say, or how they say it. Here’s one of those songs.

You read me right: Pigeon Street, the kids show from the late 70s/early 80s; the one with the absolutely banging theme tune.

It’s short, quite tricky on ukulele, and really, really fun to play. Come get the guitar/ukulele chords!

Who doesn't love a bit of Kate Bush? She's an incredible singer and songwriter, and that kind of genius is magnetic as all get out. She's not an easy artist to cover, because there's simply no way to do her justice. But, you know me, trying anyway because I'd rather make mistakes than not make anything at all.

Come get yourself some simple guitar/ukulele chords for Running Up That Hill.

Dang, this is a nice song, and it's from a really nice album, too. Extraordinary Magic is one of those Ben Rector tunes that, when I heard it the first time, I fell in love with it straight away. It's how I feel about my Kind-Eyed-Boy, and yes, I know how lucky that makes me.

Come get you some chords so you can play this gentle, gorgeous, heartfelt love song yourself…

Jacob Collier’s four magical chords

The most remarkable part of this arrangement comes between the third and fourth verses, when Collier modulates from the key of E to the key of G half-sharp. That’s the key which is halfway between G and G-sharp. Modulating there is a bananas thing to do!

Collier explains the modulation in this video:

Over the course of his “four magical chords,” Collier doesn’t just change key, he changes the entire tuning system he’s singing in. He’s able to accomplish this feat by exploiting the subtle differences between interval sizes in equal temperament versus the ones in “pure” harmonic tuning. Each of the four magical chords is overall a little bit sharper than the one before, but it still sounds in tune because it also shares a tone exactly in common with the previous chord. David Bruce explains how this works in detail in his excellent video – the crucial part is here.

Jacob Collier has unbelievable technique, no question about that. However, the question is: does all this harmonic trickery result in good music? Or is it just showing off for the sake of showing off? Luke Pettipoole says of another Collier track that “it’s like if music could wink at itself the whole song.” I agree.

All of Collier’s music is smooth and attractive, and his harmonies are intellectually fascinating. It seems like the kind of thing I should enjoy. But the music isn’t as satisfying as it could be. Collier pays too much attention to the chords and not enough to everything else. There are some small production touches on “In The Bleak Midwinter”, for example, the little tinkly bells. But for such a lavish and complex arrangement, the soundscape is surprisingly conservative. I wouldn’t mind hearing fewer modulations and far-out chords if it freed up Collier’s creative bandwidth for other aspects of the arrangement and production.

I find the video of Collier explaining the four magical chords to be more emotionally engaging and appealing than the song itself. But it would sound even better looped over some beats. So for a recent Disquiet Junto project, that’s exactly what I did.

Collier first came to my attention from his viral YouTube series in which random people sent him short pieces of music and he accompanied them with intricate vocal overdubs. These videos are charming. Collier’s virtuosity is balanced out by the more ordinary-sounding people he’s accompanying, and the short length of the clips keeps him from chasing every idea to florid extremes.

So, Jacob Collier, if you’re reading this: you’ve proved your point, you’re a next-level harmonic genius. But now maybe it’s time to get in the studio with some other people who don’t have your chops, but who are cooler than you, who listen to more hip-hop and dance music, who can balance out your intellect with some guts. I would love to hear the result.

Lee Rosevere points out that Collier has done some beat-driven electronic music, for example:

This strange meter is the rhythmic equivalent of modulating to G half-sharp. It’s intellectually interesting, but nobody could actually dance to it. In Dungeons and Dragons terms, the song has high Intelligence, fairly high Charisma, and low to medium Wisdom. I’d rather hear all this craft being poured into a straightahead groove that’s more amenable to audience participation. Collier is an outspoken Stevie Wonder fan, but while he has Stevie’s jazzy sophistication, he definitely does not have the soul. And for me, the soul is the important thing.

The one-man-band aspect of Collier’s music is both its most impressive and most limiting feature. It’s awesome that he can do this:

But just because you can do something, doesn’t mean that you have to do it, or that you should. Collier can’t resist “improving” the harmonies in “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A Thing.” Listen at the end of the second chorus, under the line, “‘Cause I’ll be standin’ on the side while you check it o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-out.” In Stevie’s original, the word “out” descends over an extraordinary chord progression. It’s in F-sharp, but I put it into C for ease of understanding:

How cool is this? As the chords descend chromatically, Stevie keeps the top notes steady, so the third of one chord becomes the suspended fourth of the next one. Then he resolves the suspension, but holds this new third out until it becomes the fourth of the next chord. It makes elegant and obvious sense when you hear it. But the progression isn’t “interesting” enough for Collier. He reharmonizes it to be more complicated, with roots jumping around in thirds and all kinds of strange chord extensions, and the result sounds… okay? I guess? It doesn’t sound nearly as good as Stevie’s original changes.

Collier’s fans, the ones who are furious at me right now, aspire to his level of multifaceted mastery. Who wouldn’t? But I suspect that the fans are also attracted to the fantasy of being able to do everything alone, without needing to collaborate or compromise with other people. (They may also be yearning for the amount of privilege it would take to make that possible.) Wanting to be Jacob Collier means wanting to be able to spend uncountably many hours alone in the practice room. I get it! I don’t like collaboration or compromise either. I find other people annoying most of the time. But this is not my best quality. The one-man band fantasy is not a healthy one.

Anyone can be as good at music as Jacob Collier if they can put in the practice time. Even if you had the money and the motivation, though, consider how much you would have to sacrifice to practice that much. Imagine how isolated you would need to be. You can build your Intelligence through extended isolation, but it is not very good for your Wisdom.
