#3 Improv. - And the itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the spout again


*Okay for some reason when I start recording myself my endings go to shit but on other occasions I can produce some fairly nice ones...*major sigh-age*.

Anyway...

Today's improv piece was done whilst looking at a photo that one of my more talented friends took for one of her blogs (see her amazing work right here -
http://gratedslices.blogspot.com/). The problem however, was being able to convert those feelings supposedly produced from the photo onto the piano itself, especially seeing as today wasn't particularly rainy (one major conundrum)!

Unable to re-conjure the appropriate feelings that I needed to play the actual piece I just ended up playing what was the natural feeling at the time (which I guess was the whole point of the blog in the first place). Courtesy of me trying to semi-incorporate the 'rain' feeling combined with the actual sun just edging through the windows around me; I felt that immense feeling that one gets with the rising of the sun 'after' the rain, and
lo and behold 'this' came out.

I have a thing for
D major recently which is slightly odd seeing as in the past I wasn't really a fan. I also have a thing for two chord progressions which is also odd seeing as most of my songs are done in four. Hope I'm not catching something.

Key: D Major
Feeling: Sun After Rain
Dedicated to: Natasha (though it's the wrong song - promise to do it when It Is 'Actually' Raining =S)
