I don't know if it's that cool for copying an exact chord progression, but I do copy parts of it sometimes. I usually make them myself, and are probably used in older songs.

Let us know how it goes!
It's dangerous to go alone, take me with you! [JUB has joined the party.]

Alright, it's her birthday, so I sent her this message:

"Happy birthday! Remember when you asked me to write a song with English lyrics? Well, here it is. Tell me what you think about it tomorrow at school.
[video]"

The video was the song (lyrics version) with this as cover:

I think you could need a cup of tea, Bloop..
Your last four songs were very very dark! They were all good! But they were really really dark, and agitated. Huge contrast to your other songs. Not in a bad way, it's just that it was a bit scary when coming from you :P
Like, even one in 7/8. twisted!

Nah, now I feel mean...
Great songs Bloop!, four songs that just happened to be heavy and dark :)

Thanks! Yeah, I don't feel that non-dark this time. Night at the Carnival isn't made during the "dark era" however, just a remix from my first song I've ever made. The very first.

EDIT: I fixed One Day You'll Be Fine. Fixed things are in the description of the video.

Bloop, I love all of your songs!
Also, smart use of 251 in Change is the Key, it was a pleasant listen :)

Y'know chord progression.
251 is a way to build up the chord progression, and you used plenty of it. It's all about dominants and thirds leading to dominants and so on.. :)

In your case:
The song is in A minor, so you chorse to start of there. The first chord change isn't anything special, it's just the minor third chord, which is C major. But C major leads to F major, because the third in C, E, leads to the first in F, F. Then F leads to Bb major, because the third in F, A, leads to the first in Bb, Bb. Can you see the pattern so far? We have C - F - Bb. If you take Bb as a starting point, in other words the 1, then C is the 2 and F is the 5 --> 251. This continues --> After the C, the F and the Bb comes Eb major. The third in Bb, D, leads to the first in Eb, Eb. F Bb Eb = 251. Then Eb leads to Ab(because of the third, G), then Ab leads to Db(because of the third, C) --> Eb Ab Db = 251. After that it goes to a C, but that isn't a part of the pattern (which you can clearly hear -> it kinda takes a weird turn at this chord -> so that means the pattern was broken). And then you're back to the start A minor.

Ah, alright. I didn't even knew I did this exactly. I always have the 'term' "that chord of that chord" in my head. I would suck as music teacher.
