Yes, you certainly are right, Rick!! That is some complicated song, with a million complex chords, chord changes and modulations.. We're certainly a long way off from that three-chord structure which everyone says characterized the earlier days of rock and roll. (Maybe some songs are actually becoming more complex?) I'm not sure what popular musical genre it falls into - cool soul? What would one call it?? 🤔 (Reminds me a tiny bit of a song called Zoom,I think.)
But when this video is talking about the subject of "most complex song ever" - when we are talking complex, which criteria are we using? 🙂 Complexity based on chord changes, or on song structure ? (Or even lyrics? I believe the most lyrically complex popular music to exist is rap music and its offshoots: grime, drill etc.)
Some people of course are going to be "all about that bass"! 😁
I'm surprised the top commenters on here haven't been nominating their picks for "most complex song of all time"! 🙂 How about - Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody? (It certainly was always one of the longest...)
Personally, also, if you want some unusual harmonies, I'd nominate Seal's Kiss From A Rose On A Grave. I like that! It's got a nice kind of Renaissance-cum-jazz vibe going on... 🙂👍 And that lilting beat....🙂👍
