Hey guys, this post is a very, very special one for me because for the first time I'll be introducing some of my own work.The inspiration for this project came to me when listening to Afro-Caribbean music on the radio. One particular calypso rhythm pattern stood out in my mind and I immediately thought it would be great material for a song. I made up some simple melody lines and intertwined them with this rhythm pattern.Harmonically the song is very straightforward. It involves only two chords, E and B7, for almost the entirety of the song except for the last part which has a thread of chords, E, D, C#m7 and C7, returning to B7 at the end.
