i noticed that in the chorus of "just did a bad thing," the melody always goes to the 5th of each chord. was that intentional? in your opinion, does that affect the grooviness of the song?
this is just part of mother nature. scientists believe that 52 to 68 percent of prominent melody notes are a 5th (plus octave(s)) above the bass note. and in 96 percent of those cases, there is at least one additional note in there playing a supporting harmonic role. but, i am eager to ask you a follow up question, which, as you may have guessed by now, is about your use of the letter E in your question exactly 13 times
