This beautiful song is composed with many dissonances. In the intro, the vocal with the tremolo effects is pretty impressive. There are so many transitions and changes that might confuse the listeners, but that builds up the complexity of the songs.
Nathanie – Sunscreen
This song is beautiful, the chord progression mixed with the sweetness of her voice is perfect. She also did an amazing job balancing out the harmonies, they are just the right amount and it makes it so calming to listen too. Theres also a really faint percussion that sounds like a wood block that sounds amazing.

I found this video helpful for us to structure chords and add tensions to them. This will be super helpful for those who like to use jazzy piano sound in their music.

Learning basic piano chords in under 10 minutes!
I found that playing the piano can sometimes be super difficult if you have just started. But sometimes just learning some simple chords is a good start. These simple chords are also great to use for song writing!
Once you figure out how to play some simple chords, you would notice that it’ll get easier over time!
Just keep practicing!!
Quick Start in Music Theory!
Okay writing music is annoying sometimes and hard. I started out writing music not really understanding much about how to make songs interesting and wrote the exact same type of song for a while. Eventually it hit me that a little bit of music theory never hurt anyone. This video I think has a few key things that can be helpful when not knowing starting in theory!
And if you don’t feel like theory theory and want to just learn something a bit more digestible, learn a tiny bit of keyboard! If you can figure out middle C on a piano those little piano rolls in your DAWs will seem a little easier!
When making music on a laptop for the first time everything feels super foreign and I think videos like this one will help it make a little bit more familiar!
