That Major version sounded surprisingly good for a first listen. And for only changing a single note, that Lydian version was literally a whole new song. Crazy.

That one changed note is played just about every other note in the song, plus a pedal tone was added on every chord - that’s a quite significant change. Mixolydian, in contrast, changed…hmmm..I see one changed note, near the end.

I concur. The major version (bar that one note) is better imo.

So Paul McCartney and Liam Gallagher both sang popular songs where a word describing a 24-hour period is sung with its first syllable a semitone lower than what's usually notated in sheet music. That has to be one of the most niche things for two people to have in common.

Lydian: "This feels too good to be true." Ionian: "Things are actually great, and I'm genuinely happy!" Mixolydian: "The scars haven't faded yet, but I'm happy again." Dorian: "Times are hard right now, but I have hope." Aeolian: "Things haven't been okay, for a while, and... I'm not okay anymore." Phrygian: "Nope! That's it! Screw this! I'm done!" Locrian: "I'll never taste sweetness again until I drink antifreeze from your skull."

I always wait in anticipation for the Locrian mode in these vid. I imagine a movie where someone is about to meet an untimely end.

Merci, another awesome video. I practice my modes scales in that order that David lists since it makes more sense that playing them as they occur in major keys.

The fact that you explain and show how you actually change the notes to change modes just makes my Life better

What a great way to learn more about modes. This was very cool. Thanks for sharing this!

This was really interesting. I had learned about all those scales but to hear them put into practice over one song and back to back, really helps to hear the differences. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great video David. Wonderwall is such a great and identifiable placeholder song to show the tonal qualities of each mode. 👍

Bravo! Great Video and Explantation, David. And wisely chosen song.

absolutely love these videos you shove songs into all of the modes

Original Aeolian (Minor) (Pentatonic): 0:45 Ionian (Major): 1:24 Lydian: 2:54 Mixolydian: 4:02 Aeolian (Minor): 5:54 Dorian: 7:00 Phrygian: 8:50 Locrian: 11:26

love this video. i really appreciate the use of a song that doesnt perfectly fit the modes. when i write i tend to limit myself to the rules of whatever scale i find myself in and it hurts for making some things stick and sound unique when they could be. this song gets played so often it's also nice to be reminded of how good it is on a detailed level.

Chapeau! This is surely one of the best explanations of the modes I've seen so far. 👍

This is an excellent video for one who is trying to understand music. I've always wondered what the differences in modes are, and this is an excellent illustration. Good job!

So brilliant when you use a concrete melody like this, so you can fully appreciate the tonal differences the modes create. I've know about modes and have learnt the scales but seeing them in use like this is something else.

I love these multi-mode breakdowns!

This is the video that finally got me to understand modes lol. Amazing job!

Great explanation of the modes. Please do more videos like this.

@TundieRice

I would 100% argue that the original verse of the song that he’s using *is at least partially in Dorian.* Even though the IV chord he’s listing is a sus4 and therefore has neither a minor nor a major third, try to imagine either one as a major or a minor chord, and B7 sounds much *much* more fitting than B minor 7… I’m not able to do a full on musical analysis of the recording, but I can at least *totally* hear a B major tonality with some of those B7sus4 chords, especially since sus chords kind of want to resolve back to the non-suspended version of the chord most of the time. Obviously, the song isn’t 100% in Dorian at all, considering there’s a D chord in the song that would come from the Aeolian mode, but I definitely hear a Dorian feel to that first verse, even if David isn’t transcribing it by default. So I feel like that’s the reason that Dorian sounds the most natural. Just replace the B7sus4 chords with B7s and you don’t even have to change anything else, lol.

It's in Dorian in the verse, but it switches for the pre-chorus (And all the roads) and in the chorus (because maybe). I actually thought the video would go into this, but it kinda skips over it and none of the versions are actually the original one. Not only does a B7 work better than Bm7 as the final chord, it sounds really good if you play a B11 IMO (at least, when playing it as a loungey piano tune). That gives you the fourth and seventh from the original 7sus4 chord, with the major third thrown in there as well.

Awesome video, thank you very much!

Wonderful video.

It’s funny but no matter which scale is used melody stills owesome. Hell of a masterpiece. But still analysis…have no words 👌

Interesting how changing that C natural to C# changed the beginning just enough that even the minor scale version sounded a little off

That Lydian sounds wonderful

I really like this series

Voice getting modulated as per the mode is what blows my mind, more than anything else.

Thanks David. To have made the choice of this very very popular melody (that everybody in occidental world has in ear, even non-musicians) is a good idea, I will share this and hope that some friends of mine and family will understand the link between modes and emotion. :)

This is super cool.

That's exactly what I felt!

This is such a good video. There is so much to learn from this. I would like to see this with songs of different genres. Everything from Metal, hip-hop, anime themes, Jazz etc. I think this would help us understand what makes a genre sound like it does. Cause it seems to me that there are some genres that needs to use some scales, otherwise it sounds wrong. Like a metal song using a clean sounding guitar, it dos not sound like metal anymore, now it sounds like surfe rock. But I think the same thing is the case for scales. Can you make a pop-punk song using Lydian, or would it sound like something else?

The chords in the Dorian version are just like the ones in the chorus of Mad World. Who knew that a modal change could relate two wildly different songs... really cool!

Very educational!

Lydian is awesome 🤩

I’m a bassist who kinda knows music theory but also doesn’t. This has probably been the best video I have ever seen explaining the modes as something musical rather than just a set of notes, hopefully if I consider this I’ll be able to make something I actually like the sound of, rather than making something I know should be theoretically possible.

Locrian surprisingly sounded really good

Dorian to me always sounds like travelling. Or perhaps a montage of industry doing its thing, workers pouring out of a revolving door. Like… it’s bright but also restless. Definitely one of my favourite modes (and dorian flat-2 gives me that “in a hurry, making stuff happen” feeling even more!)
