list of songs that use plagual cadences (the one they play over the "amen" in church services) in a way that the cadence is significant
take me to church (hozier) (over every "amen"!!!)
holy (love letter lane)
crystal healer (coyote wall)
true trans soul rebel (against me!)
#i could talk for 8 years about the last two bc the first two are straightforward. the LAST two are really interesting#basically:#crystal healer is a song abt finding comfort in smth u know isnt REALLY true & it basically pretends that its in the relative minor#by putting the vi chord at the beginnings of phrases. but its actually in major#and it also has the plagual cadence twice on 'there is no wound so deep/that it eludes our prayer'#(which is when it assumes the voice of the crystal sellers)#but bc thats only part of what the crystal sellers are saying; bc theyre not finished yet: its ALSO lying about the PLAGUAL cadence#bc it hasnt actually resolved yet! it resolves to a V on 'hold this moonstone to ur heart & be repaired/be repaired'#and then true trans soul rebel the plagual cadence happens on the lines 'does god bless your transsexual heart?/true trans soul rebel'#and how it works is it goes to the IV of the plagual cadence on 'heart' in this line ABOUT GOD#and sits on that IV for a while at the end of this line that ends w a question mark#and then finally resolves to the I (major one) chord at the beginning of the next line#which is fucking fascinating#anyway its so cool#ari opinion hour
