This is random but does anybody have the musical knowledge to tell me what he means when Chris was talking about the song "What If" and it's chord progression?
@sillyredhat I believe it's the way the song ends - listen to the last minute. I'm in the process of learning the song, but as far as I can tell, there's this bizarre transition from minor to major chords and a key change that sounds very unique. Sorry if that's vague, but I believe that's what's being referred to.
Great performance - cool song. Chris Martin said he just woke up one night and wrote it naked... the lyrics just flowed out... proves that a great song can be written anywhere, anytime.
nice song great indeed

@sillyredhat I believe, that hes talking about the fact that the song uses alot of 7th chords.

This is such a beautiful song and Chris has an amazing angelic voice. Thanks for posting this.

The woman at 4:09 is just standing there like 'hmm okay, that's nice'. I would faint or something if I was THAT close to Chris Martin!
