[quote:Anonymous Coward 77167530:MV80MDQxNzIyXzczMjE3OTUzX0JGQUY5QjAw] [quote:Geraldgar:MV80MDQxNzIyXzczMjE0NTkzXzhCNTgyODY=] [quote:NintendoDeerPark 77167530:MV80MDQxNzIyXzczMjEzMjU4X0FCNEEzQTNF] It's the part where they switch back and forth between the C and C#maj7 chords and the melody that depresses me. [/quote] I think you are getting caught up thinking it is a C#maj7 when it is really just a Cmajor chord and a Db Major chord (same as C# major chord), but it's not alternating between Cmajor adn C#maj7 but a C#maj7 does come out of it if you are counting the trasition of the melody because the C major chord and C# major chord are right next to each other so they have all the notes needed for a c#maj7. That being said though this song I would say is in the key of F harmonic minor because the next chords it goes to are 7th chords after the initial chords, it then moves to C7 (dominant 7) then to Bbmin7 and then to a walk down starting with abmaj7#5. That last one is where it gets real spooky. I don't have time to analyze the rest of it, but this is clearly using the harmonic minor. I love stuff like this and that old Nintendo music has caught me missing friends and taking on special meaning too at times. I feel ya. [/quote] I'm glad you see it my way. [/quote]
Original Message
The saddest video game music I've ever heard was during the water stages of Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. Every time I hear that music it reminds me of a friend of mine leaving and me never seeing that friend again. One friend in particular was an intern teacher I met from another class when I went to middle school during the 1986/'87 semester. Early the next year she left and I never saw her again. When I hear that particular music it makes me miss her.
