Answer 1

Lately is one of the most beautiful ballads ever written by Stevie Wonder. With just piano chords and bass synth backing a vocal of unsurpassed emotional power, it tells the story of a love he feels is dying but just wishes his premonitions miss. Musically, Wonder uses minor 7th, 9th, and 11th chords to make the song sound more heartwrenching and sad. The sudden crescendo and shift in key that accompany the final chorus repeat are just heart-rending. It finally ends in yet another minor key, leaving the listener wondering if the inevitable breakup of the couple has occurred or if the lover singing the song has decided to stick it out, suffer, and go on.
