I’m working on a podcast episode about “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac, a perennial object of debate in the music theory world because no one can agree what key it’s in. This is because the melody doesn’t align with the chords particularly, and neither the melody nor the chords belong unambiguously to any specific key. To demonstrate its harmonic flexibility, I got the vocal stem so I could put different chord progressions under it. Then I started trying different instrumentals underneath it, and found a lot of them that work, some uncannily well. My kids helped me too. Here are the best ones.
The Bach one is my favorite, because the fit is positively uncanny in places. My daughter requested the Roblox song and Pachelbel’s canon, both of which are excellent fits as well. Enjoy.
Really REALLY fascinating! I loved most of them! (the Bee Gee’s one was the only one I had to stop – I was a young adult during their fame….)
I guess I was born just late enough not to have an aversive reaction to the Bee Gees.
Weirdly wonderful….really works well together!
