so another story by way of tbtl, a writer for the Boston Globe enunciated the sensitive female chord progression. i knew i really had a soft girly spot for allegedly femalely music, but this was a little frightening. among the songs
one of us by joan osboarne (the originator of the progression, and still among my favorite songs of all time)
building a mystery by sarah mclachlan (weirdly, i liked her more before this song than after, but that's not to say i didn't go buy mirrorball when i heard this on the radio)
tonight and the rest of my life by nina gordon (which i was obsessed with and managed to also get our temporary roomate Charity to be obssessed with, and I still think is pretty great)
holiday by green day (which is probably the best song on one of the best CDs of all time)
those were the ones that shocked me; i had no idea why those songes spoke to me so profoundly, or that any were connected to any of the others. apparently the Offspring has used the chords in three different songs, and various people on the radio these days, TI, Rhianna, Beyonce use it also, but since i don't do radio anymore i had to be told this by a non-music radio show talking about a newspaper column.
i guess i say, own it, love your tastes. obviously this speaks to a lot of us and i say let's not be ashamed. and still i wonder, what would you say if you had just one question?
