Album Notes & Community Reviews
Steven Wilson's satire of formula songwriting, 'Four Chords That Made a Million' was the first single from 'Lightbulb Sun', its lyric itemising the clich茅s of commercial rock over a deliberately recycled chord sequence. The joke is structural: the song itself is built from the four chords of its title.
