The easiest example I could think of is right at "the greatest spell you'll know" in the last song of MLP, the music "shifts" 3 times, what is that called?
I know I've heard it in other music before, the multiple "shifts" but I haven't been able to find what that is called, I can find a single shift(or a few different terms for that), but the multiple shifts seem to be something different. I assume it has it's own term anyway.
Thank you.
I'll look into it. I first need to listen to the song once more, but I think I know what you're talking about. As for the song itself, it was clearly based on Sunset Shimmer's "So You Have Magic", does that song also have the the same thing you are wondering about?
I'm on my cellphone right now, but once I get my PC, I can actually analyse the songs. Your status updates are off in your profile so I'm calling you out globally from my profile. I will not respond to your thread for post count reasons. I sound paranoid because I am

If using the YT video by flutter525, the beginning is about at the 44 second mark, if that helps any.
As to the Sunset Shimmer song, it sounds like part of it is there(and around the same time), but the singing kinda covers it up or it just isn't as bold or doesn't have the same "three shifts" as the other.

Interesting! I was expecting some shift in the key, but there were none. You are trying to figure out one of Daniel Ingram's music tricks? What I mean by that is, he kinda always resort to these similar chords for all his song.
Sadly, there is no name for this chord progression. It's something that was constructed over years of pop music evolution dating back to Jazz. It is basic stuff, but very good stuff.
On a piano, stay on F major and go down with the root note to D. From here, progress up with the root to F again -> D, E, and F (single notes)... However, you can keep playing F major during this time, there will be an harmonics mismatch when hitting the root E note. It can be solved with many things, I decided to solve it in the Daniel Ingram simple way, just change the F major to a C major for that part.
What's happening to my F major? Well, by playing the D root, the chord is transformed to a minor 7th. By knowing you basics, minor 7th is two chords combined, one low minor (D minor) and one high major (F major). You hear a sad minor as the root is over powering, but the entire chord becomes a mix of sad and happy: - Show next comments 6 more
