The following is one of a series of song fragments Arthur seemed to be working on in the days and weeks leading up to the Concert for Iceland. Recorded in a variety of formats and locations, these tracks will be released as they become available.
Chords:
Intro: Dmaj7, Cmaj7
Main part: D, Dmaj7, Dm7, G7, Cmaj7
Here's what it sounds like right now. It will come off the last D chord as Arthur transitions back into the electric, ecstatic morass.
Will, you will be attempting to crush your drums with some pretty intense drumming à la Tony Williams on Miles Davis's "Fall" or the drummer at the end of The Dells' "Love We Had Stays on my Mind." Again, I think an added bonus would be rolls that don't terminate until a little ways into the next loop.
Father, you'll probably be playing the electronic bass line as is with whatever variations you like (sliding up to octaves possibly, but mostly strengthening that line). I guess thematically you're going to remain "grounded" in the midst of all this insanity.
Max, I see you having technical difficulties with your guitar at this point, hitting a sustained high D perhaps, only to lose your connection. You'll be doing that, fiddling intermittently with your guitar cord.
I would like to do this song live, possibly at the beginning of a show. It would be a knockout punch with about 5 synthesizers going!Spotify link: http://sptfy.com/3fr
