Song Development 2

You might remember the song I was working on in Episode 4. It was developed from two chord shapes and ideas from an Andrew Lloyd Webber song and wasn’t anywhere near finished.

Well now it is! There was a break through idea that I captured on my audio notebooky thing:

Under the words and behind all the letters, all of the messages he tried to send

These lyrics came to me as I was playing the arpeggios you can hear. I already had the idea of a hermit living amongst the reeds and sending messages out to people by balloon. I have no idea where that idea came from, but it seemed to work and let me finish the song.

Here it is:
