Speedo Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Beato is hit and miss for me; some videos are great and some videos end up in the weeds with convoluted, nitpicking shit that wears on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the most common chord progressions in pop music tbf, it's just the same progression that blink have been using a lot too, only that they start at the minor chord instead of the root. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C# and B are both minor chords in that progression I presume. I've never written a song in this progression. Maybe I will now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just your standard 1 – 5 – 6 – 4 only that they start at the 6. Start at the root and you’d have E, B, C#m, A, or, in the key of C : C, G, Am, F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kyle_ Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 honestly I'd go with Chapter 13 as my fav post break up song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 I doubt I’d even remember No It Isn’t if it wasn’t for the blatant lyrical references. I like the song, but Tom, and especially blink, have written many songs better than that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love every track on that album, but I wouldn't even put No It Isn't in the top 5 on that album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
