Your build up progression is exactly the same as mine, only I interpret it as based on the major key III. I agree we're not talking about modulation in the usual sense, but I think it makes sense to think of it as a key change. It reminds my ears of the common IV-V-vi progression, only with a suprising major VI.

I have to disagree again... I don't think a III chord is anywhere in the entire song. The build up is in the parallel major.
Right, the key III is the parallel major. I'm shifting the base of the notation for this passage. When I say III ends the build up, I mean III in the parallel major key, i.e. V(7) in the original key.

III is the relative major. I is the parallel major. As I said, I believe there is no III anywhere in the song.
You're absolutely right. In my native language, the relative key is called the parallel key. Sorry for causing confusion.
So, to clarify, I'm not claiming there is a III in the original key, I'm referring to the III chord of the relative major key.
