another great mod…

Continuing in my discovery of great modulations, here’s a gem I had forgotten about.
This modulation (2:00) kicks in after the bridge DOWN a whole step! For a comparison check out Train’s “When I Look to the Sky” for a similar move.
Great way to propel into the solo that follows.
And let’s not forget the fact that it’s possibly the only song known to correctly use the word “moot” in a lyric! 
Until next time…
Another creative use of the mod…

This is one of the most creative uses of the mod I’ve heard in a long time. It’s in Train’s “When I Look To the Sky”. After the bridge, they mod up a whole step for a half chorus BUT then come home to the original key to finish up the song. Psyche! Take listen!
Enjoy!
