First off, pardon the random

Victoria's Secret model that is the image on Soundcloud, my friend did that when we first shared these as an inside joke, and now I don't have the password and can't change it, haha. This song is from 2003/2004, written was I was in high school for my band at the time. I recorded all the instruments here, 2 guitars and a bass, plus drums from some old version of Fruity Loops.

Listen to Ess Ess here.

We begin the song with the Verse,

in C#Minor. There is a Flat 2 chord used here, which should be particularly dissonant against the 7th in the octave lead, but actually works pretty nicely, as I don't stay on it for too long. The Chorus is all just big barre chords, || C#min, Amaj, Bmaj, C#min | C#min, Amaj, G#7 :||. The break actually gets kinda interesting, it begins on our tonic of C#Min, but does a little descending line cliche through C and B, resolving to Eminor. At the time, this was unintentional, but turned out to be theoretically a pretty cool little riff looking back now.
