Bodies has higher complexity than the average song in terms Melodic Complexity and Chord-Melody Tension.
Bodies is written in the key of C Locrian. According to the Theorytab database, it is the most popular key among Locrian keys and the 71st most popular among all keys. The C Locrian scale is similar to the C Minor scale except that both the 2nd and the 5th notes (D♭ and G♭) are a half step lower. This means that the characteristic "home base" chord of C Locrian has a dissonant diminished quality (c˚), which makes it a very uncommon choice for songs.
