Easy Listening

Why it sounds this way

Easy Listening is a happy chord progression that moves I – V – ii – IV – I – iii – vi – V (C G Dm F C Em Am G in C). The feeling walks home → tension → wander → open → home → wistful → longing → tension. Most of these are plain triads, so the colors feel direct and the outline stays clear. That matches a small tip for this mood: major chords + a push home. That is why it fits a scene like “sunday radio.” Play it on piano or guitar above, and switch keys if you want it higher or lower.
