It’s interesting that someone would say that this song is based on the chord progression from Hotel California
The actual chord progression from Hotel California is Bmin F# A E G D Emin F# Each chord is 1 bar in length for 8 bars.
After figuring it out, the chord progression to I Believe In You is Amin E Gsus G Fsus F (Dmin E Amin) () denotes a turnaround. The Amin & E chords for 1 bar, the G to the F is 1 bar & the turnaround takes 1 bar. This whole progression spans 4 bars
There is a similarity in the relationship between the first 2 chords of the verse. The tonic minor chord followed by the 5 major. But how many songs start that way? Millions!
Let’s look at HC & IBIY side by side in the same key H Amin E G D F Dmin E
IBI Amin E Gsus G Fsus F (Dmin E Amin
It may look similar, but the chords just don’t fall the same way I think this song is very well written. The production is great and the background vocal break is awesome. Great job Zanderah!!
