Lingering Upon a Chord of Inquiry

16 – Under-Out 2:13

Our epilogue begins with The Perfection of Simplicity, a life-positive piece in a major key.  Bird conversations, and distant ambient humans talking enhance the overall mood/ tone.  Overdubs of choir/ voicepad, flute, harmonica, and cello take turns singing the lead melody. It then modulates up to the final Yamaha baby grand piano notes of the 14 Days Theme, recorded at Patsy’s ranchhouse in Merrill, Oregon. There is no angst in this final moment. More of a peaceful acceptance of “life is”in a major key.  As it arrives at the final notes of this project, we are left at serenely fulfilled and at peace.  Yet we are left to reflect upon our journey lingering upon a chord of inquiry. The dominant V chord does not resolve to the tonic, or I chord, perhaps suggesting that our journey is not yet complete… Denver Clay

Under-Out beginning 0:34The moment I heard this acoustic piano piece I knew it would be the ending to Lava Songs. In both segments of this tune I sense man’s heart and the ability to show compassion. If only this was a dominant chord of human nature… Anders Tomlinson.
