Under the Influence

This transcription starts in A minor.

The estimated tempo is 58 BPM, calculated from the median spacing between detected beats. This is a summary of the transcription; timing can vary during the song.

Recurring four-chord sequences in this transcription include Am7 → Cmaj7 → Fmaj7 → G (13 occurrences); Am7 → Em7 → Fmaj7 → G (8 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: i7 → IIImaj7 → VImaj7 → VII in A minor; i7 → v7 → VImaj7 → VII in A minor. Think of Roman numerals as chord names you can take into any key. Uppercase is major, lowercase is minor; in minor keys, we count from the natural-minor scale.

Yes! In A minor: The hopscotch progression (i → III → VI → VII) shows up in the intro at 0:00 and 0:08. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The Aeolian cadence (VI → VII → i) shows up in the intro at 0:04 and the verse at 0:20. Two rising major chords lead back into minor, balancing a little lift with a darker landing.

The song starts in 2/4, with a short partial bar at the beginning.

The detected sections are intro (0:00) → verse (0:16) → chorus (0:33) → interlude (1:05) → verse (1:22) → chorus (1:55) → outro (2:44).

The transcribed version lasts 3:04. Other recordings or edits may have a different duration.
