Song list

This is the list of every song I've been able to find (and confirm) that uses the SFCP. Found one that's not here? Leave it in the comments, or email me.

(Songs with "*" use the chords in the SFCP but aren't quite canonical, in the sense that they don't repeat in the same way as the others in the brief time that they pop up.)

  2. How can you wish you'd thought of a name other than the SFCP? Brilliant!

  3. I love the blog, just found it, although I read the article some time back. Some additional songs for the list:

    The bridge to aeroplane over the sea, by neutral milk hotel (title track to an amazing album) is in pretty classic SFCP, e-C-G-D.

    Also, "Midnight Radio", the epic closing number from the queer rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch is an interesting variation - The expected fifth chord is a dominant 7th (a-F-C-G7, the sensitive transsexual CP?"), and after the first iteration, the cycle gets caught up between the 4th and tonic, before eventually resolving into the V7 and the chorus.

  4. "Freefallin" by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers. Pretty much textbook.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. "Free Fallin'" doesn't work, actually. It starts on the I (F), not the vi (B♭m). In fact, I'm not sure there's a B♭m anywhere in the song.

  5. Great blog! I was working up in Methuen MA last winter, read the article and cut it out, but now can't find it - "One of Us" and "Building a Mystery" are two of my favorite songs (I started thinking someone should do a mashup of them like the Oasis "Wonderwall" Green Day "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" mashup that I love) (hmmm, I should google that - maybe someone has). Anyway, I decided to make a Pandora station based on it, but needed more than those two seed songs. I googled "song structure One of Us Building a Mystery" and got your blog! Thanks so much for the great list - now I can seed my station with several and see what else pops up!

    1. You could also add U2’s Electrical Storm, Bryan Adam’s’ Run To You and Tom Petty’s Refugee to that Wonderwall/Boulevard mix!😂 Different tempos but with some tweaking in an audio editing program, you’d have quite the mix!

  6. Not sure the Pandora station is going to work... unless Smells Like Teen Spirit is really a SFCP... I guess I can't get more complicated than "minor key tonality" as far as that goes.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Is it just a coincidence or is the progression getting more popular...it seems from the list here its really catching on, becoming the I iv ii V, maybe?

    ReplyDelete
  8. don't forget the numa numa song.
    (actually, most of it is IV-I-V-vi, but that's close enough)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Some more for the list (by year)
    2001: Howard Shore - "The Bridge of Khazad-Dum" (Fellowship of the Rings), just after Gandalf falls; in Ab/Fm. (Same chords used elsewhere in the film series, inc The Grey Havens in ROTK.)

    2005: Chemical Brothers - "Hold Tight London" (G/Em)

    Also, "White Flag" (Dido) uses this to different effect as IV I V vi. Interestingly, this is the only case I noticed before that I would consider "sensitive female". :-)

    Why does Iggy Pop's Passenger get an asterisk? I thought of that as the prototype for this progression.

    1. The chorus of "White Flag" is actually:
      IV - I - ii - vi, IV - I - V - ii

  10. "Pieces" by Sum 41 is another good one.
    And some people are blaming Korean artist for stealing off of "Poker Face" which I find ridiculous. Two SFCP song I know are "Wedding Dress" by Tae Yang and "One" by Epik High.

    It basically covers SFCP starting at 3:17. Also has tons of songs if you flip SFCP's vi-IV-I-V to I-V-vi-IV, such as Jason Mraz's I'm Yours or the Beatles' Let It Be or Journey's Don't Stop Believing.
    Also if you put the vi at the end to turn it from vi-IV-I-V to IV-I-V-vi, you get songs like Rihanna's Umbrella and Jay Sean's Down.

  12. Sweet and Low, by Augustana
    And here's another video on I-V-vi-IV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdVurJFMDUI

  13. I realized that my interest in this chord progression is mostly in the somewhat darker "SF2" classification (one chord per bar). A couple more of those are:

    Soul In Isolation, by The Chameleons (1986); also reprised at the end of the album.

    The Crow, by DJ Food (2000)

  18. The second half of Blue Man Group's "Exhibit 13" seems to exhibit some of the characteristics of a SFCP.

  19. The bridge to "friday I'm in love"

    Robert Smith is such a sensitive female.

  20. Belle and sebastian's "century of fakers" has a sensitive female chorus

  21. Genesis - Invisible Touch (1986)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I cannot believe how many songs have been added since I found this over a year ago. I realized that my meditation playlist had a lot of SFCP songs in it and wanted to find more, so I came back - I've never heard of most of these songs, but hey, at least I have a lot to choose from...

    ReplyDelete
  23. Pandora gives me a lot of stuff by Five for Fighting on my SFCP station. Does none of their stuff fit? Not so good at the chord analyzing. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Someone asked why Iggy Pop's The Passenger gets an asterisk. First of all, the tonic is Am, which thus means it's not vi-IV-I-V, but i-VI-III-VII(in aeolian/natural minor). Second, the chord progression is actually 8 bars, it goes Am-F-C-G7-Am-F-C-E.

    And I'd like to add RHCP's Don't Forget Me from the album By The Way released in 2002. Live at Slane castle to be viewed here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDAiYlZDZKU

    Flea just pounds power chords on his bass in A-F-C-G. The _whole_ song.

    Oh and one more that I found the other day, The Whig's I Am For Real. C#m-E-B-A if I'm correct, but I'm not too sure on it. Decide for yourselves:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV_rWWHhmQU

    ReplyDelete
  25. I correct my previous post. Obviously, I Am For Real is not SFCP... Same chords, but different progression. Mixed things up there... need to get some sleep, before I mix other things up...

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm really not getting the significance here. I think the fact that there are soooo many songs (as demonstrated by this list and those suggested by posters) that use this chord progression would seem to indicate to me that it's nothing particularly special or unusual. Certainly not unusual enough to have an entire blog devoted to. I mean, I'm not great at music theory, but I know enough about music to know that there's a limited number of chord progressions used in Western music and so, naturally, some of them are going to be commonly used over and over again. I just don't get what is so important about that.

  31. "Goodbye to Romance" by Ozzy Osbourne (1980) uses this progression - 4 beats of Bm, 4 beats of G, 2 beats of D, 2 beats of A (same pattern as T-Swift's "Back to December")

    ReplyDelete
  32. @rryyann070: No, "Pumped Up Kicks" uses vi-I-V-II, not vi-IV-I-V.
