Wonderwall in all 7 modes

Published 2024-01-21
Wonderwall by Oasis is usual in the minor key, but today we will run it through each of the 7 different modes of the major scale to get a gauge of how each of these scales can offer us a different mood and degree of tonal brightness.
The outro music to this video is my track "Kneel" which you can hear in full on Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0wKKJoOZd8JQJDgGU8sb8V?si=… 🎶

“So anyway here’s Wonderwall... in Locrian.” Crowd flees for the hills.
-
only david could get me to listen to wonderwall 7 times
-
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.
-
Locrian sounds like what Noel might have come up with if asked to write the theme tune for a Scandinavian crime drama.
-
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."
-
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.

And now let's rewrite Oscar Wilde's classic into an even darker version: Phrygian Gray.
-
3 things you should know about David Bennett Piano: He doesn’t like the Beatles His middle name is Bennett and his last name is Piano He hates modes, but Locrian is his favorite
-
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.
-
I love these types of modes videos, the analysis makes me appreciate both the song and music theory even more. Great Video!
-
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.
-
Great idea for a video - really enjoyed it!
-
What a great way to learn more about modes. This was very cool. Thanks for sharing this!
-
The mixolydian and dorian versions still sound like something Oasis would do. Lydian and phrygian sound more like a Pink Floyd song.
-
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.
-
Bravo! Great Video and Explantation, David. And wisely chosen song.
-
Brilliant video again David, yours are the best in actually hearing what the modes sound like
-
This is a great video David. Wonderwall is such a great and identifiable placeholder song to show the tonal qualities of each mode. 👍
-
The fact that you explain and show how you actually change the notes to change modes just makes my Life better
