Trouble

This cheerful melody was created in 2014, when I still had a Yamaha keyboard. As so often happens, it’s a recurring pattern. I remember having a lot of trouble getting this rather simple tune to fit neatly into the rest of the music. But in the end, I think it was a pretty cool result. I thought it would be fun to add some vocals, and that’s how I came up with Leona Lewis – Trouble (Solo Version) (UncommonSense Studio Acapella). And to my surprise, with a little good will, the vocals fit my melody quite well, without adjusting the pitch or BPM. Until about halfway through, when things go awry and become somewhat chaotic, but then the melody and vocals finally come together. Upon closer inspection, the lyrics are far from cheerful, which also gives the result an ironic undertone. I hesitated to put it on the website for a long time, because the vocals aren’t mine, of course, but hey, it’s been 14 years, and a little playfulness is allowed now, right?
