Music from 10-20-05

This is me composing a ballad on the piano with a beautiful haunting melody in the key of G. I might put lyrics to this one.

Music from 06-05-05

This is an iPod recording of Prince’s How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore. I recorded this just over a year ago for my girlfriend.

This is an edit of the track before. It’s a pop rock ballad (u2, coldplay); EbMAJ7, BbMAJ7. You can hear the verse and chorus shaping up with a melody, form and changes. I’m going to write the lyrics and FINISH this one.
