Well, it's the season of music presenting I guess,
so here's my bit:

Anticipating a simple tune with a few challenges set.
1. To make a v simple chord progression interesting for 3 mins
2. To start the collaboration with Richard Miles. Richard is a colleague of
mine and a science teacher. Last year he discovered his amazing talent for
poetry and already wrote 15 samizdat (self-published) poetry books. I sent
him the basic idea, and he returned the lyrics, basically;-]
3. To further learn the art of final production on Linux Audio. This time
using the wonderful Linux DSP suite on AVLinux - particulary the Valve
Compressor and the Graphic Eq while mastering. The vocals and bouzouki use
the Linux DSP Reverb as well.
Critical comments (deserved) and praises (undeserved) are welcomed.
Nothing wrong with basing a tune on a repeated simple chord progression.
Do it right and you give the listener a subliminal 'hook' especially if
it's hummable.
I like what you've done here. The lyrics are the song, the progression
is the scaffold. I think you have introduced just enough variation, to
keep it interesting without taking people's attention away from the
song.
After the second listen it's teetering on the brink of my 'keep'
folder :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
