Hold back or run..

These days I am working on a new composition.. a musical composition.

A few days back I was talking with somebody over the phone. That person was troubled and needed counsel and solace. While I was listening to her, I heard a tune in my mind (yes this is quite possible. Many a times you can hum a song in your mind without having to use your vocal chords).. I had to just write the tune somewhere right away..

So while I was trying to tell the person that its not the end of the world, I fetched my pencil and music sheet.. I started with writing just the basic chords.. you know.. C, D.. blah blah.. The tune was to be a simple ballad or a theme instrumental depicting feelings of a person who is on the run.. may be away from circumstances, from family, from self..

I ended up writing 'CMaj7', in place of a simple 'C'.. The tune is going to end up being a jazz theme after all..

I usually lose interest in writing a piece if I stretch it for too long.. Once completed, I will try and upload that MIDI file here on my blog.. let's see..
