**The Concept of "Function"**: A chord's meaning changes based on the key. A 'G major' chord feels like "Home" in the key of G, but it feels like "Tension" in the key of C. Analyzing these functional relationships is what allows a theorist to explain why a song "feels" like it's ending or why a bridge "feels" like it's taking you on a journey.
