Story behind the song

This solo piano piece nearly didn't make it past the first play.  After a totally satisfying composition session, I left the piano feeling very pleased.  Upon returning to the piano, I had no recollection of the piece w/ no notes or recording to remind me of the theme structure.

It would eventually take another 2-3 headbanging days to recall the whole of what had been composed.  Thank goodness it came back!

Lyrics

These are the lyrics to this song...da,da,da  tralalala...they may not make much sense, which is why they're keyed really low in the mix....dooobedoobedoooo........

Hi Javamusik,
I like this song Stirve! This is very nice piano playing indeed!
I wish I could play as well. My nephew is a very good pianist.

This is so inspiring to listen to.  So wonderfully produced. Love the chord progressions and dynamics. I like the way you ended this with some solid chords.  Great job! :)

Jeff, my friend, thanks for dropping by and your comments. I had no idea about charts cause I just look at my position from my page. Congrats on Strive being #1 it's excellent as all your songs are and I'm glad you're getting recognition for the beautiful creations. I've always been and still am a fan of JavaMusik. Keep up the great works my friend.
