Can’t Remember to Forget You

This transcription starts in B minor.

The estimated tempo is 140 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 Bm → Em → A → D (13 occurrences); Em → A → D → A7/3 (10 occurrences); A → D → A7/3 → Bm (9 occurrences). These are exact chord-label matches within sections, not a complete harmonic analysis.

Here are a few patterns to play with: i → iv → VII → III in B minor; iv → VII → III → VII7/3 in B minor; VII → III → VII7/3 → i in B 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 B minor: The minor four-chord pop progression (VI → III → VII → i) shows up in the chorus at 0:45 and 1:55. The familiar pop loop with its moodier chord in the spotlight. The minor circle-of-fifths segment (i → iv → VII → III) shows up in the intro at 0:00 and the verse at 0:07. A short chain of falling fifths takes a minor opening toward its brighter relative major.

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

The detected sections are intro (0:00) → verse (0:07) → chorus (0:35) → verse (1:16) → chorus (1:44) → verse (2:12) → chorus (2:40).
