Tiësto Lyrics

Hello
Can you hear me?
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello
Can you hear me?
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello
If you hear me
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello
Can you hear me?
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello
If you hear me
Now put your hands in the air
For a century
Hello
The lyrics to Tiesto ft. Calvin Harris's song Century are quite simple yet powerful. The repetition of the word "hello" emphasizes the desire for connection and communication. The lyrics suggest a longing for acknowledgement and recognition, and the call to put your hands in the air for a century might symbolize a desire for a lasting celebration or moment of unity. The repetition of the phrase "for a century" further emphasizes the longevity of this desired moment, and perhaps suggests a hope for lasting change or impact.
While the simple lyrics of the song may not provide much depth or complexity, they do reflect on some universal human desires for connection, celebration, and positive change. The driving beat of the song, combined with the repetitive lyrics, create a sense of energy and excitement that make it a popular dance track.

MOSKA, help a fellow musician out and please tell me what that unusually dissonant chord is at 1:08. To the best of my ear, and a few minutes at the keyboard, right before, you’re plucking some F-maj chords with a major 7th added in, then to e-minor, then to a-minor, and then instead of going back down to e-minor again, you put in that gorgeous and unexpected dissonant chord and I can’t seem to figure out all the pitches that make it up. Would you mind elaborating on that a bit? I would truly appreciate it! It was an absolutely brilliant chord progression choice!!
