Knights of Cydonia is a pretty ridiculous piece of music. Today I finally sat down and listened to the various verses, so here are the chords for future reference:
Em G C G
B C E♭ G
Cm G A♭ E♭
Gm A♭ E♭ G
Cm
Cm E♭ A♭ E♭
G A♭ B E♭
A♭m E♭ E B
E♭m E B E♭
A♭m
G♯m B E B
D♯ E G B
Em B C G
Bm C G B
Em
You may find it convenient to think about the middle verse in terms of sharps instead of flats.

Right, so I bought it, and it hasn’t changed my life. It is very nice to look at. But what’s funny is all the labels for type books at Borders read “Topography”, and I couldn’t guess if they were tired of hearing about it or nobody had ever noticed.
I chanced upon a curious chord progression two or three Sundays ago and have been trying to form something coherent around it. The first time I played that Cm that lead into the A♭7 on a synth organ I was just trying to emulate various spooky organ themes. Then I hit the Cm to F and I could only think of one thing and it was Batman. I decided to try a more delicate synth and added a second progression (E♭ F Gsus4 G) and well here it is. With a generic entrance by the drum and bass tacked on the end. I need to take all these bits and pieces and loops and phrases and put them together one day, but GarageBand really isn’t designed for multiple time signatures.
On Saturday we finally got around to celebrating me and C’s birthdays and the Earl Grey ice cream at Canele is delicious and I don’t even like Earl Grey much.
