Video Not Working? Fix It Now

From Pink Floyd to Stevie Wonder, Lana Del Rey to Scarborough Fair, dorian's distinctive flavour can be heard in many different styles of music and is a refreshing, brighter alternative to the typical minor scale.

📌NOTE: I decided to remove the section on "Get Lucky" as it wasn't a perfect example of Dorian. I will actually be making a video about this soon explaining it further. Sorry for any confusion caused.
