Hit chord progression part 7…

You can count on Lady Antebellum to join the fun with our friend, the 6 min, 4, 1, 5 (okay, inverted 5 over 7) progression.
Are you seeing a trend here??
Or a rut? 
I’ll have some new modulation examples next time!

Hit chord progression, part 6…
Posted by jgarnerprod in Hit Song Analysis, Song Geek on April 10th, 2012
Toto’s “Africa” was a surprise to find! The chorus kicks back to our good friend, 6 min, 4, 1, 5.
But it’s not quite so obvious due to all the hipness leading up to the chorus, from the asymmetrical verse phrasing, as well as the key change.
The search continues!
