As far as I can figure - its em9, f#m7, am7, am9.

The reason it's a nice progression (in as far as 4 chords is) is because it avoids really strong bass movement and uses a little dissonance.

So in modern pop, you'd expect the chords to be something like - em, f#m, c, g. But instead it says on the a in the last 2 chords. It's more subtle.

It's a good song writing lesson - decrease the amount of big chord movement. Stay on pedal notes longer (I. E. Single bass notes) and move the chords on top instead.

Piano: Em9, F#m7, Cmaj7/D, G/A
Bass: E G A A A (ostinato)
Drugs and alcohol have never helped me creatively, but for others it seems to be an essential part of the process. :shock:
