When i think of God i always though that he is someone that is always there in every moment, good and bad, thats how i was instructed about his omnipresent power. But when i hear music related to to him it's always with this glorious, wonderful, epic, happy tone, but life isn't that way and our relationship with God neither. We suffer, get sad and sick and thats part of living, and from my point of view God is there all the time.

     Let's talk about my work so you can have a better understanding what i mean : The first step is to transcribe the origianl song, this way i can understand the structure and components, here i show you a lead sheet from the harmony (chords) of the original song (this will be the firs verse + chorus on the arrangement)(The audio is a whole step up that the chords described below).

Life sometimes is simple and stable, no worries ¡Hallelujah!

     We can apreciate that the chords only have 3 notes, we call this "triad", this are the simples and basic chords that we have. Now we proceed to add a little more tension to this harmony (harmony it's like the environment in where we are, can be calm and quiet or turbid and confusing)(this correspond to the second verse + chorus).

Life without tension isn't life ¡Hallelujah!

     What i did was adding a fourth note to each chord, specifically the seventh, now the chords have 4 notes, they are very similar to the triads but a little more disonant (extremely popular on Jazz music). Of course, adding or changing notes from the chords makes that the their names change also but the essence are the same.
     Following this simile between music and reality i decided to "suspend" the chords, it may saound weird but is really simple (third verse + chorus).

     It consists in taking the "3rd" of the chord and replace it with the "4th" or "2nd". The 3rd caracterize the chord, that is to say, it tell us if the chord is major or minor, when we replace it with any of the options. it results in a chord without "quality" or "suspended" as i mentioned. Notice that the E7 remains the same as he have a very important function in the song.

Some times life isn't happy or sad, it's just neutral, without flavor or color ¡Hallelujah!

     Here we have the more drastic change of all, it's when wfinally the song change his tone, what i did was replace the chords that were major with minor ones but still having the Asus to avoid an overcharge of minor chords and the E7 who, as i said, has an important function to make (fourth verse + chorus).

Life can be dark and melancholy, sad and nostalgic but all of that is part of her bauty ¡Hallelujah!

     Finally we keep it sad and drepressed, but is not enough, there is still more. Now our minor chords have sevenths so they sound even more disonant than before (fifth an last verse + chorus).
