For about 4 years in a row at the start of my song writing period I would write a song on New Years Day. This is one of those and it can be taken as a New Years song. The music is progressive with a few interesting chords.
The music is progressive with a few interesting chords. For about 4 years in a row at the start of my song writing period I would write a song on New Years Day. This is one of those and it can be taken as a New Years song. This worked best of all the songs I have tried starting out with a midi file.
I did 3 digital takes of it with vocals and I could not decide whether or not Take 2 is better than this Take 3. I put up Take 2 around New Years.
