It's almost taken for granted that a song will resolve at the end, meaning it will move back to the tonic chord to give us that sense of completion and finality. But a song doesn't have to resolve at the end and by not doing so it can create a bittersweet sense of incompletion or longing.

📌 5:15 the roman numeral above Ebm should be “bvi”, not iv. Sorry for any confusion and thanks to the commenter who brought it to my attention.


And, an extra special thanks goes to Chase Heeler, Peter Keller, Douglas Lind, Vidad Flowers, Ivan Pang, Waylon Fairbanks, Jon Dye, Austin Russell, Christopher Ryan, Toot & Paul Peijzel, the channel’s Patreon saints! 😇
