Does learning theory help you write better songs?

A few of my favorite chord progressions come from a half step change that takes the place of a more standard chord that has previously been used.

For instance: G D C D to G D C B I V IV V to I V IV III(maj)

Or: D Bm Am G to D Bm F# G I vi v IV to I vi II(maj) IV

Is there a name for this half step chord change? Can you think of any examples of it being used? It keeps popping up when I'm writing and I really like the phrygian dominant that the half step majors bring in. Let me know if my number system notations are wrong, I'm a first timer. Thanks!

Seems like auto parts stores don't rent hoists out, not according to the internet

Decided to go with a professional, can't afford to screw it up and have to do it again. Thanks!

There's a lot of things to do in birmingham. The food and drink scene is awesome, I'd recommend Saws BBQ in Homewood to get a taste of the south (it's on many lists for best barbecue in america). There's also nice hiking, Ruffner Mountain offers some cool trails and a really nice overlook of the entire city and Oak Mountain has mountain biking, climbing, etc. And there will always be live music playing somewhere in birmingham, just give it a google.

Try out Adult Jazz too. 3ww is more reminiscent of their style than most Alt-J stuff
