Oh my gosh, I haven't thought about that song in ages but instantly, I remember those notes...I just never knew those notes together had a name. Just thought they picked the notes FACECA cuz that's the sound they wanted. So, it's all very calculated...these chords etc...I notice he changed a note within the chord as it went on...I see, I see...that's what makes it a song! grin

I can't believe it, but I just found sheet music to that song in my piano bench (and I wasn't really looking for it! lol) Some memory gene must have just kicked in or something.... It's in 12/8 time! OH my!

So I can see coming up with some sort of song without a lyric if you have this framework (theory) to go by. Without it, it's all just a bunch of notes and it's a free-for-all. Maybe that's why I need the words first, to guide me...who knows. I'll definitely have to sit and experiment, who knows what will happen. But without words it's still gonna feel weird, but I can sort of see how music develops now from nothing.

Oh, and yes, the inversions..yep..I do that part alot - sort of. smile

Jack - I wish I had that foundation you draw upon!!
