“Beautiful People” a lovely tune by Melanie Safka employs a really interesting chord change. Centered in A, it moves to C# as the root, which is the 3rd for A. This is probably much more common than I think, but it just caught me how perfect the chord change is as it relates to the cadence of the lyrics. Pretty Cool.
