"Sundown Syndrome" is a song by Tame Impala, released as a single in 2009. It was the band's first official single release. Its B-side was a cover of the Blue Boy song "Remember Me". The title "Sundown Syndrome" refers to a psychological phenomenon called Sundowning. ==Composition== "Sundown Syndrome" was written by Kevin Parker in the key of E major in a mostly 6/8 time signature. It is based around the repeating chords of F#m7 and G#m7.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/t/tame_impala/sundown_syndrome_ver2_tab.htm )〕 The song begins in 4/4 with the two above mentioned chords, while the drums are loose and jazzy and have flange added to them. It then changes to 6/8 time with a looser strumming pattern. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tHdnN--Yvs )〕 The verse comes soon after, with basic strums of the chords and occasional fills played on electric guitar. A kazoo then comes in, which some people mistook for a fuzz guitar, to play a solo in the E major scale over the same F#m7, G#m7 chord progression.〔 Another verse featuring the same previous structure, and another kazoo solo in the same E major scale return again. This gives way to a chorus using the barre chord progression of D flat major, G flat major, E major, B major, G flat major and D flat major. The chorus is in 6/8 time, but switches to one bar of 4/4 at the end of every chord progression, and four bars of 4/4 at the end of every chorus. Parker's vocals are heavily reverbed and delayed to give it a spacy atmosphere.〔 A bridge in 6/8 time comes next, with simple strums of the chords F#m7, G#m7, F#m7, A major and E major. A heavily phased, jazzy guitar solo using the E major scale comes in over the F#m7, G#m7 chord progression.〔 The chorus comes back, and then a variation of the chorus barre chord progression on a phased guitar is played by itself, this time with just D flat major, G flat major and E major with occasional glissando slides between the chords. After a few bars of the guitar on its own, the chorus vocals come back over the top with occasional quiet bass fills. The chorus then comes back to its original form with the full band, and is extended longer than before.〔 The song ends the way it started, in 4/4 with the strumming of the F#m7 and G#m7 chords. A barred C# major chord with guitar feedback completely ends the song.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sundown Syndrome」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
