From the most intense and brilliant large-scale, dramatic structures (such as Sweeney Todd or Assassins) to the lightest of melodies (A Little Night Music), and from the simplest of chords (Into the Woods) to the most dense harmonies (Follies), he has it all. He is clever without tricki...
It seems incredible to think that Eddie Van Halen was initially reluctant to show his bandmates his song “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love,” fearing that his satirical commentary on the punk rock scene of the late 1970s was too simple. “It was a stupid thing to us, just two chords. It...
That should be everything. This has taken too long as is, so I'm not going to include the words,and I'm also not going to put in the rest of the chords over the top of the bars. If anyone else is feeling adventurous enough to do it, go right ahead. Enjoy this one. Questions,...

to which Montserrat responds: “I love you for your passion, I love you for your fire.” At this point, gospel choirs and chords explode; in the accompanying video, shot on stage in front of a live audience in 1988, Caballé can barely contain her ecstasy at the energy of the piece....
I mean, it’s a very Beatle-ish ending with a melody that’s a variation of the theme but still very different. Still, those darker chords give the song, and the band, an unexpected freshness. It’s like ‘hey, we might be a 60s band, but we still mean something in the 20s.’...
