Who the fuck ever "pre saves" a song on Spotify?
What's this about?
I don't exactly know. My friend's in a promotion cycle for upcoming releases are doing the social media countdown. I didn't love my turn to do it last year, but necessary evil and all. But they have this thing where they put a link on Instagram or whatever and tell everyone to pre save their yet to be released single on Spotify. I should probably just be good at friend core and give them one more data point but it's all on the border of my least favorite part of participating in independent music that instead I do the old man gripe on here instead.

I mean of course I listen to the release. I just don't 'pre save' it before I can actually listen to it cause why the fuck, Spotify?

Songwriting on piano. Song in C cause I'm basic, but then the chord progression got spicy with a B major. I was trying to figure out the math on what that's doing. Came across the Andalusian cadence. The B major implies E harmonic minor is the key with that raised seventh torador vibe.

Then I realized the Cmaj, Bmaj move is exactly "Love My Way" by the Psychedelic Furs. Probably why my brain conjured it. Then I was like "Do they finally hit the G maj or E minor in the chorus to land us out of this false C?". No they never do. Just a D major to further imply the phantom key. No wonder that song sounds eerily floaty. You can tag either root chord onto the end and it sounds like the song went home.

I seriously can't think of a pop song that so elusively implies a key without ever playing the root. Now I wonder if they got there through logic or intuition.
