Chord Placement

UnPredictable Chord Placement

"La Vie En Rose"
The placement of chords on this song jump ahead rather than land in predictable places. This allows the following chord (if it's the same) to not last as long, and then make room for it to change into something else sooner.

Predictable Melody
This song like "Blue Danube" (not French) is very recognizable and the listener can predict what the melodies follow by what they've heard previously. But for the performer, since it's written so predictable, they can easily get lost in the music and hit the wrong notes if not paying attention!!!
