A new song we've just started learning
Very predictable sounding chord sequence D Bm7 G D/F# and then comes what sounds like a C, Whilst it sounds good, I'm just wondering what 'theory rule' explains it The best my feeble brain can come up with is it's actually a D9/C, but if it's just a C how do we explain it ? -------------------- My SoundCloud

It's definitely in the key of D, sorry I should have mentioned that. It is a chord that pricks your ears up as it is 'out of key'
Here's the song (in B so the chord in question is an Eb) It's in the last line of the chorus you are faithful God forever -------------------- My SoundCloud

In pop music a b7 can absolutely be a 'resolve' chord. You can think of it as being modal to the key of D7 (D mixo).
Many examples of that in 'pop' music starting way back in the American (standards) song book. Harry Warren's 'I only Have eyes For you' (1934) is a good example. In fact the entire verse is Cmaj to Bbmaj. Lot's of modal music has b7 resolve chord. A lot of Jewish music has a b7 MINOR resolving to a major I (Cm to D - which you can justify as HEAVILY altered V7). Also iv minor is a beautiful resolve to a I maj. Just ask the Beatles and the Beach Boys (again this can be justified as heavily alt. V7). *I know this is the theory section and I'm a HUGE advocate of knowing what you're doing but ultimately, if it 'sounds' good - it 'is' good.
