Beauty and a Beat

This transcription starts in C major.

The estimated tempo is 128 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 F → Dm7 → Am7 → Gsus4 (6 occurrences); F → G → Am → C (6 occurrences); C → F → G → Am7 (3 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: IV → ii7 → vi7 → Vsus4 in C major; IV → V → vi → I in C major; I → IV → V → vi7 in C major. 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 C major: The hopscotch progression (IV → V → vi → I) shows up in the chorus at 0:45 and 0:58. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (I → IV → V) shows up in the chorus at 0:50 and 2:05. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
