I just had a listen to the other song you mentioned, dedvendies. Ugh ... pardon me for saying so, but what a horrible piece of 'music'. What a shame that it's come to this.

But, to 'look under the hood', it's basically just one chord the whole way through, D. The intro alternates between the chord and the chord a semitone above, D#, a sort of Flamenco vibe, then it just sits on the one chord pretty much in blues mode, believe it or not. There's a very non-musical part where the chord keeps getting a new bass note added underneath, but it's all very rudimentary, has very little to do with music as I know it.

If I may be so bold as to ask: what on earth do you hear in that tune, dedvendies? Do you really relate to the lyrics, the message, the vibe? I'm certainly not here to judge you or your taste, but I feel like throwing in the towel when I think that's what the youth of today wants to learn.
