You Are My Sister

___________________________ / antony and the johnsons / before i heard this song , i had no idea that / you are my sister / boy george could sing this soulfully . this is / i Am a bird now / uniquely soulful song by two unique singers! /__________________________/ i Am always deeply touched when listening to this . count the 4/4 slowly . the main key of this song is G# major . this is not in clearly indicated in the Intro and verses though . here the piano includes the note D in its right hand melodies . the note D isn’t part of G# major , but part of the neighbouring key C minor , so you can perceive it in either key . ( to be theoretically correct , it would be named an G# lydian mode . ) the key of regular G# major isn’t clearly determined until the C# chord is played and flattenes the D note to C# .
