I haven't done any serious recording for about five months, so whenever I return to active recording duty I always just mess around playing the simplest things just so I can get my fingers back into some sort of shape. Hence this song is as basic as it gets - however, good songs sometimes come from these basic frameworks. This recording also marks my debut recording using my iMac DAW and was put down using Logic Studio.
