For a long time, I've felt that the way we talk about keys is maybe a bit... outdated? Like, clearly keys matter, but there seems to be this disconnect between the formalized way we think about them and the way musicians actually use them. Over the years I've become increasingly convinced that keys don't matter nearly as much as we seem to think they do, and in this video I'd like to talk a bit about why.
