February - February Songs
Day 28 equals Song 28. It’s done. The One Day One Song Challenge of February 2021 in this second crazy Corona year is concluded. I wonder what I’ll do with my newfound freedom in the evenings?
“February Songs” was my cheat-song. I composed it already in early January after I decided to run the One Day One Song challenge for real. Reason one was a simple one. I hadn’t composed a single song for over 35 years and I wanted to know if I still could. Reason two was a practical one. “February Songs” might have been my first song after a long hiatus, but would my creativity really last for 28 songs in a row, day by day? This song became my stand-in song should my creativity ever fail me. It didn’t. So instead it became the last song, self referencing to the project.
As it was a Sunday today, I had a little bit more time with this song. Especially the strings and brass took some attention to come out the way I wanted them to be. I scattered my work all over the afternoon and parts of the evening but at 9:00 p.m. it was all done.
Learning: None.
