A key of a song is one of the most dramatic things that a songwriter can do. A key

change is more technically known as a modulation and it's a neat trick really.

You don't have to write a new section, you don't have to add new instruments, you just

take the whole thing up a step and everything sounds a lot more exciting.

I love a good key change as much as the next guy but I wonder what the horns think of him. The And the Welcome to Strong Songs, a Podcasts, a Podcasts, about Music. I am your host Kirk Hamilton, and as always I'm so glad that you join me to talk about music. I am your host Kirk Hamilton and as always I'm so glad that you

join me to talk about music that changes keys and music that doesn't change keys and

sometimes music that has no key in the first place. On this episode we're going

to be talking about one of the absolute strongest

songs of all time with what is arguably the strongest key change ever.

So grab a seat, turn up the volume, and enjoy the show.

I'm really excited to get into this episode's song before we do a couple things.

First of all, Instagram, you ever heard of it?

Well hey I've started using it again. I've had a long

dormant Instagram account. I don't use Facebook anymore. It kind of got myself off of social media

for a little while there. But I have been using it recently and I have been having a pretty good time.

So if you were an Instagram user and you would like occasional musical stuff for me, shots from

the studio, shots from around Portland, and occasionally strong songs related picks and

teases for upcoming episodes, you can follow me, it's Kirk

underscore Hamilton and I'll put a link for that in the show notes. We are coming up

on the one-year anniversary of Strong Songs, which is pretty wild to think

about it. I've been doing this show for almost a year.

Thank you so much to everyone who's been listening from the very beginning and to everyone
