What makes this song so great?

If you are a songwriter or musician, take the time to watch this video. It’s the second entry in Rick Beato’s excellent series, “What makes this song great?”

Even if you are a music theory beginner, you’ll find this easy to follow and full of insight.

This particular song? Everything She Does is Magic, by The Police. I’ve heard this song hundreds of times and never once saw any of the special that Rick Beato reveals. Great, great video.
