that's what I mean, that's where I go with it, looking at it and singing it. From your remarks I felt you were eliding or 'avoiding' the sort of power D would hold with me. That C#-D-Eb is exactly what's in Marwa that the one time I went for it is a real mystery. I like mystery in music, rather than music I totally have already sussed.Musicologo wrote:Humm, how about a totally different interpretation that I've come up with.
Instead of thinking of this song in Eb, let's think of it in D.
D-Eb-F#-G-A-Bb-C#-D. Then it's actually an "arabic" scale with 2nd and 6th degree lowered.
as per 'harmonic minor', that always struck me as Arabic in feel, and this aug 2nd was one of these kind of verboten things for a time...
