Four Chords, 36 Songs

There are only so many combinations of notes that a musician can use. It's inevitable that we're going to run out of original songs eventually, hence this video.( www.todaysbigthing.com )

Mathematically speaking, we are unlikely to ever run out of chord and note combinations. There are just too many ways to alter them. Ex. If you have 2 songs with 200 notes and only one note is changed then you have a different song (just not according to copyright laws). Also, random note combinations don't sit well with our brains and so we reduce ourselves to listening to the same notes instead of branching out and trying new things. We'll always have new songs.
