Hi @campfire , on Thursday’s “learn video” Tony mentioned something about the song wasn’t in a “key” per say, but it was “modal”, referring to modes. Keep in mind that in FW 1 & 2, Tony never talked about modes because he felt that they were a lot to do about nothing – meaning, a lot of work to teach/learn for a very small fraction of the music that’s out there. So he didn’t even say the “mode” that he thought the song was in. But I’ve done my own research in the past and since have taken a class that touched on them, so I’ve received a small amount of education on modes as well. Take a look at the link I’ve given below to get a better understanding:

Perhaps after looking at the resource, you can guess what mode the song is in, my guess is D dorian (dorian is a minor mode), and the D major chord is being used as an “accidental”, but see what you think!
