The creative process is a strange and mysterious one, even to those of us who do it every day. I wrote this song a couple of days ago, or maybe it was a couple of weeks ago. It’s hard to remember these things. Little tiny ideas floating around in my head finally make it to the piano and page and then to the form of an mp3.
I was feeling particularly pensive and intense and the music seems to reflect that. I wanted to make something that had a driving rhythm to it and yet convey poignant longing. It started in G minor, but it soon became apparent that it wanted to live in D minor instead. I’m okay with that. The music often tells me where to go, sometimes where to shove it and often deservedly so.
I hope you enjoy part of this little song that I wrote in the very near past. Let me know what you think!
