Song structure

[Bojan]

Illusions and Dreams by Poets of the Fall
album: Signs of Life (2005)

verse 1
Look in my eyes I'll make you see [gis, cis H, Fis]
We're drifting aimlessly
Blind in a world of make believe

verse 2
Hear them sing their songs off key [gis, cis H, Fis]
And nod like they agree
Buying the needs to be discreet

bridge
I've got no hand in matters worldly [cis, cis. H, A]
I hardly care at all
What's going on fails to concern me [cis, cis. H, A]
'Cause I'm locked behind my wall
But you know what drives me out [cis, cis. gis, Fis]
Out of my mind oh

chorus
It's whatever makes you see [E, Fis]
Makes you believe
And forget about the premonition
You need to conceive
The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
In other words dishonesty

verse 3
If I speak ill please, humour me [gis, cis H, Fis]
Won't rant on endlessly
Just thought I'd try to make you see

bridge
It doesn't solve a thing to dress it [cis, cis. H, A]
In a pretty gown
A stone will not need you to guess if [cis, cis. H, A]
You're still going to drown
So you know what drives me out [cis, cis. gis, Fis]
Out of my mind, oh

chorus
It's whatever makes you see [E, Fis]
Makes you believe
And forget about the premonition
You need to conceive
The images they sell are Illusion & Dream
In other words dishonesty

interlude
So can you name your demon? [gis, cis H, Fis]
Understand it's scheming
I raise my glass and say "Here's to you"

interlude
Can you chase your demon? [gis, cis H, Fis]
Or will it take your freedom?
I raise my glass and say "Here's to you"

bridge
I've got no hand in matters worldly [cis, cis. H, A]
I hardly care at all
What's going on fails to concern me [cis, cis. H, A]
'Cause I'm locked behind my wall
But you know what drives me out [cis, cis. gis, Fis]
Out of my mind oh

chorus
It's whatever makes you see [E, Fis]
Makes you believe
And forget about the premonition
You need to conceive
That the images they sell are Illusion and Dream
In other words dishonesty

chorus
So whatever makes you see [E, Fis]
Makes you believe
And forget about the premonition
You need to conceive
The images they sell are Illusion and Dream
In other words dishonesty

outro
With silence comes peace
With peace comes freedom
With freedom comes silence

[Bojan]

This is the way I analyze song I want to play, first give the song a listen a couple of times, then I see the structure, write it down, together with corresponding chords, and then go through the whole process once again by playing with the song in the background.

Thata sounds like a very good system Bojan, I´ts a great way to analyse the number as a complete structure. :laugh3:
