Interesting. Both came into being by just 'noodling' over 
what was already there until it felt right.

I would hope it doesn't need explanation, but the lead in the 
first part is meant to represent the girl. So a clearly different 
feel is good :)

Perhaps I used a pentatonic scale. The lead is doubly doubled, 
with one octave down and up, and +7. The later might be part 
of a possible oriental/asian feel.

You mean the singing overlaid on the instrumental part? 
No way. Different roles. Nobody dares to get in the way while
it's the girl's turn. Oh, and my voice and Om arn't in the same 
tuning, it seems ;)

Cool, thanks for your comments :)
