A song! As much as I have been enjoying playing around with light it also feels nice to spend time on some composition.  I was woken very early the other morning, and sitting waiting for the sun to rise I began daydreaming about being on a plane to somewhere else in the world.  I took light as my theme from the previous piece and spun that together with my travel imaginings.  I was originally playing this on piano, but something about it sounded too much like musical theatre so I rearranged it for vocal loops and bass.  

I was back to late night recording, so everything is played very quietly.  I would have liked to re-do it in the morning so I could turn my amp up and do a better job at singing the melody, but I decided that done was better than perfect.
