Dreams by Fleetwood Mac

Key: Fm · 123 BPM · 4/4

Dreams by Fleetwood Mac sits in Fm, giving it a darker, more unresolved color than a major-key song would have. Rather than one of the handful of progressions that show up again and again across pop and rock, it settles into its own 2-chord loop — F-G — repeating with its own internal logic instead of borrowing a familiar shape. At 123 BPM, it moves at a moderate, driving pace.
