Thanks alot Scarlet for this very systematic and soothing lesson. I just woke up in this tropical country of Indonesia. I had to jump up from the bed and made notes of your precious subject. Great work, short and very compact and all of them are useful. Very well prepared materials. Thanks and Cheers from Indonesia.

"It's always 'He didn't call.'" Oh, I am so giggling. I've been exploring a number of new alternative music artists. I love that they are far more comfortable with gender mixing/fluidity within their approaches to lyrics. It helps people of all ages to find something in the art of music which may be a much needed reflection. As for chord progressions, those certainly do, as Scarlet Keys shares, evoke a heap of familiarity, memories, and comfort. 🎶🌸
