Updates to the song Πως θα Ηταν

Updates to Πως Θα Ηταν - Public Domain:


Vicky insisting that the verse leaves something to be desired...


It has been decided by trial and error that male voice should be in a high register while female voice in a low register.


So instead of using the C minor key...


The key of F minor is used leading to a high pitch male starting note C just like The Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollyeood in the F minor key.


Then a modulation from F minor to G minor on next verse lets the female vocal be at a low warm register.


On chorus the relative B flat major key is used and both male and female voices can coexist comfortably.


Then a modulation to A minor can define the space for a piano solo.


Then chorus in the relative C major creates a brighter vocal from both voices.


Then a modulation from concluding E major to D major for the outro.


So in summary chord progression is in Bach Bass Rules notation:


Key F minor

F247 (just like the a Power of Love). Or just 3 car horn notes, see end of this post.)

Later addition:



After suggestions from Vicky on:


Perhaps having a subtle traffic car horn noise for introduction with car horns playing the first 3 notes of the intro, ie C F D.
Adding some more of the lyrics.
Perhaps pausing piano solo part...
after experimenting many times on the piano...
It is being decided to change accordingly the intro, using part 1 of sunle piano solo, then another verse, then second part of subtle piano solo in the form of high notes falling like drops of water, then chorus and outro.


The added verse will be:
Πως θα ηταν
Στην αμμουδιά να με κρατάς
Και να γελάνε απο ψηλά
Τ' αστέρια


The second piano solo part just after this verse leaves space or time for the listener's brain for imagination before the arrival of chorus.
