I found lesson EP408 fascinating and now I want to use the Circle of Fifths everywhere! 🙂
For example, I was applying it to Pink Floyd’s In The Flesh chords, and it all fits!
Then I went to REM’s Everybody Hurts, which shares a similar chord progression, and it also fits the Circle of Fifths, except the bridge.
The main part in Everybody Hurts uses these chords: D G Em A – all go well in A tonality.
But then in the bridge it changes to F# (major!) Bm C G which doesn’t fit in the A chord family…
What’s happening there? Are they “borrowed chords”? A change of key? Which one? It sounds good but how do you justify it using the Circle of Fifths?
