Recurring four-chord sequences in this transcription include F♯ → G♯m → E → F♯ (6 occurrences); E → F♯ → G♯m → E (3 occurrences); G♯m → E → F♯ → E (3 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: i → VI → VII → i in G♯ minor; VII → i → VI → VII in G♯ minor; VI → VII → i → VI in G♯ 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 G♯ minor: The minor four-chord pop progression (VI → III → VII → i) shows up in the chorus at 0:51 and 1:55. The familiar pop loop with its moodier chord in the spotlight. The Aeolian cadence (VI → VII → i) shows up in the chorus at 0:44 and 0:56. Two rising major chords lead back into minor, balancing a little lift with a darker landing.
