Alez, you need to stop playing with ideas and start playing it, or if not playing it then listen to it. If you think Dm is best, use it. If you prefer the sound of the D7, use it. And if you don't like it later you can change it, can't you?
Really, you're just wasting time. You could have easily got this tune by now.

I appreciate your comment, but this was totally out of curiosity! I'm no longer very focused towards obtaining results in exchange for my efforts. I do whatever I find enjoyable these days. This particular tune is not really one I'd like to learn just now anyway.
But don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the advice and I do think it's good advice.

To be honest, I overlooked the post earlier on where you said you were trying things out on the piano. Nothing wrong with that, but I think you gave the impression you were interested in doing this tune and wanted to know the best way to connect the C to the Em. And nearly everybody here has replied in that spirit.
Perhaps if you only wanted an abstract discussion you should have made that clear rather than thanking people profusely for their suggestions which, of course, were geared to helping you play the tune. And then announce you weren't really interested in it at all!
Anyway, as I said, we are where we are now, so that's that. Perhaps you and Christian can continue together (possibly in the Theory section) because abstract harmony discussions seem to be his thing too. He'll soon be telling you what Bach would have done, no doubt. And good luck to you both :-)

Funnily enough, I was practicing it on the piano just now and I realised I now know the changes anyway, so I may give it a go after all.
Thanks again for all your help and sorry if I wasted your time, it was never my intention. Also note that all these suggestions, regardless of being geared to whatever, are very valuable to me.Last edited by alez; 04-15-2024 at 07:57 AM.

And they probably don't care anyway, always the way :-)

Apologies and not looking for an argument but I feel like clarifying further.
I'm thinking that, in the end, all I've been saying boils down to this: the fact that I asked you to share your knowledge for a purpose that's not what you thought it was doesn't automatically make this purpose less worthy of your generous time and effort.
Out.

I've just found a very obvious application of F(7) connecting C with Em7, it's this ubiquitous turnaround that resolves in measure #32 (rather than the more common #31 with #32 serving as an optional turnback for a following chorus):
C F(7) | Em7 A7 | Dm7 G7 | C ||
There Will Never Be Another You, I'm Beginning to See the Light and so on.
