"Seasons Changing" is a melancholy, Bossa Nova-inspired following the story of a woman after being abandoned by her lover. The piece uses a classical guitar and bass guitar in addition to percussion sounds generated by Garage Band. The lyrics and vocal melody were written and performed by Maria Maione. Maria and I aren't quite finished with this song yet, but we're excited at how our first attempt at song writing is going!
"Nuevos Amores" (or "New Loves" in English) is a sequal to the story that Maria tells in "Seasons Changing." While lacking lyrics, one can imagine the main character from "Seasons Changing" mending her heart break and moving on to a new lover. This song uses the same chord progression as "Seasons Changing" but uses the Phrygian mode for a more Flamenco flavor.
