My 15 yo granddaughter was in a dance recital on Friday evening. She was in 3 different dance numbers out of 25 for the evening. Quite a fancy well done production. Ballet. Modern Dance. Jazz Dance. All choreographed nicely. great sound system. Great stage lighting. Great costumes.
One of the ballet numbers started out with an orchestration sound track with a repeating opening line. It popped into my head. "I wonder if that is Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol." Sure enough it was a beautiful instrumental orchestration of that song. It's a song that has always haunted me with it's simple beautiful haunting melancholy. Once a few years ago i tried to work up a rendition. Simple chords but hard to pull off respectably as a one-man performer. So I dropped it.
But the dance recital prompted me to give it another go. And I think I've got something now that I can work with. Double capo. Full capo on 5. Partial capo on 7. It's in the key of A. (D position capoed up). It's is just such fun to sing along. Right in my wheelhouse key-wise.
We'll see how this develops.
