[♪] Scream Into the Void is Gloria's anthem in episode two.
Charlie walks in and starts to discover what Gloria's really been writing.
So let's jump in at the pre-chorus.
♪ If only people would hear the... ♪ The frustration, the music, the pulse.

♪ I just pray one day ♪ This is all she wants.
Is someone to listen to her ♪ That somebody might ♪ ♪ listen ♪ You see in the episode, Charlie makes a reference to chord four.
That's a minor chord.
It's a classic sort of subtly Disney chord progression.
with a minor four chord going into one, and it often indicates someone who's unsure or uncertain.
And in this context, she sings the word listen on a chord four to indicate she's not being listened to.
What was that you were playing?
Is it one of yours?
It's.
It's nothing.
You used a minor four chord on the listen to what I say.
Yeah.
Because no one's listening to her.
Yeah.
Smart.
♪ My favorite musical would be Hamilton.
One is Les Mis, because that's the show that got me into musicals.
Kinky Boots.
Waitress.
Two, Moulin Rouge.
Chicago.
Third favorite musical is the Book of Mormon because I think it's fantastically written and it employed me for two years.
