¿Cuáles son algunas progresiones de acordes que crean un impacto emocional en una canción?

Chord progressions are fundamental in structuring a piece of music, providing the harmonic base that guides the melody and rhythm. They are essential for creating tension and resolution, setting the emotional tone of the piece. However, it is the musician's feeling that truly brings the music to life, transforming a sequence of chords into an emotional experience. The passion, expression, and emotional connection of the musician with the music are what make it touching and memorable for the listener. Even the most sophisticated chord progression can sound empty without the soul and emotion of the musician. Therefore, while chord progressions are important, it is the musician's feeling that is the key to truly touching people with music.

Circle of fifths always do the trick. You can hear it in so many songs, by so many different artists since forever.... I can hear The Jackson 5 already :)

I do personally like the vi-IV-I-V progression but I usually don't approach music scientifically. When creating a melody for a Ballad I of course usually start with a minor chord given the fact it has a melancholy to it. So if we're looking at writing a Song in C major we'd start with A minor already giving a lot of gravitas to the melody. We would continue with F major, C major, and G major, giving an uplift to the melody. Something that then can be used lyrically to end with a glimpse of hope while starting sad.

Another interesting harmony, since the relationship between the third and seventh degree. We have here the quality that the third degree of the seventh chord is a note previous to the main note of the third chord, so when we do III and then VII, we can hear how the harmony rests and resolves.

The most common resolution for classical, tango or Argentine folk music styles. dominant - dominant - main Also valid: 2 - 7 - 1

This progression has a thousand faces: 7th º - 1st 2nd m7b5 - 1st 7aug dim - 1st All of them are valid and generate a tension that is often necessary to transmit what you want to transmit.

I feel that starting from a theoretical base is topsy-turvy. The chord choice and flow should be determined by what you're feeling, not vice versa. Plus, it makes it too easy for new writers to fall into the "major = happy, minor = sad" fallacy. If you are an artist, a songwriter, you start from what you want to *say* and that shapes everything that follows. Sometime you may start with a vocal harmony, sometimes a bassline, maybe some chords or a lyric. The important thing is to follow the through-line to the centre of the *emotion* - rules be damned!
