HARMONIC STRUCTURE Head over Feet has a harmonic structure that is unusual in a number of ways. First, the choruses are in a different key than the verses. Each verse begins and ends in the key of C Major, whereas each chorus begins in the key of D major. As a result, the end of each chorus the song modulates down a major second. It is common for pop and rock songs to modulate up a second or a third as a way to heighten excitement, but it is very rare for a song to modulate down. Second, the song uses a at the beginning of each chorus. Direct modulations are the type of modulation most common in popular music, and involve simply ending one phrase in one key and beginning the next (here, the beginning of each chorus) in a different key. The progression, starting with the end of the verse, is: I, V, vi, IV, D: I, vi, IV, V, etc. . CHARTS REFERENCES
