As with many, I first heard this piece many years ago as the accompaniment to Noah Kalina’s brilliant photo project in the early internet era (and kept alive through The Simpsons and other versions since) and this was one of the very first songs I ever played around with on our old casio keyboard. The melody is structurally so simple, easy for a beginner, but it leaves plenty of space for nuance, allowing deceptive complexity. I find the song to be very much like its namesake. The ostinato is at once inviting, yet a degree haunting. It provides a constancy and familiarity much like we encounter in everyday life. And variations on a theme over time add up to something bigger. Highs and lows. Intensity, calmness. Hope and despair. This piece seems to capture it all. Most versions I’ve listened to tend to emphasize the softer aspects, so I decided to go in a different direction and focus on making the performance a bit more impassioned and, let’s say spirited lol 👻 I also added my own little bit at the end which I hope is tolerable to any fans of the piece.
I very much did not intend on uploading so close to Halloween, but after I wrapped up my last song, I felt I needed to take a step back, reorient, prioritize, and ultimately start exploring a different type of personal project. I’m planning for one song in November and one for Christmas, but odds are greater than even it will be a bit less frequent after that. And a consequence is that I’m less attentive to everyone else's covers :( I don’t always comment or make my presence known, but I am usually around at some point. To and fro like a spectre, I suppose. But one at peace whose unfinished business is just leaving likes everywhere. So yeah, not really a Halloween song, unless of course you’re frightened by the ⌛️RELENTLESS MARCH OF TIME!⌛️ Which is fair, tbh lol. Anyways, thanks so much for watching and reading, I hope you found it generally pleasant, be sure to check out Noah’s video if you haven’t yet, and take care everybody. ✌️🫶

Oh, and here’s a pumpkin for carving 🎃
