Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes Key Change
Great tune, I love Paul Simon.
One thing that’s always bothered me is that the song starts a capella in the key of E major, then abruptly shifts the F major when the guitar comes in, and stays there for the rest of the song.
It’s one of the most jarring key changes I’ve heard. Many pop songs modulate up a half step (usually at the tail end of a song, for the last chorus/outro), it’s a standard trick in songwriting. But this one really messes me up.
Anyone else feel this way about it? Any other tunes with key changes that mess you up?
