Running with the Big Dogs !

This song was an instrumental I wrote years ago, I just resurrected it. It started out as a BR-880 song, then it moved to BiaB, see the memo below. I took the BiaB song and added lyrics today ad asked my virtual band to cover the BiaB chord file. Thanks for listening'

So, as I sit here this Thanksgiving I wanted to write an upbeat song. So I went to the circle of fifths for fun. Here is a write up about it. I wrote this years ago as an instrumental and wanted to put some lyrics together for, so here it is.

G → F♯ → B → E → A → D → G♯ → C♯ → F♯ → B → E → A → D → G♯ → C♯ → F♯ → B → …
(and on and on forever)

“This track is built on a 16-bar closed-loop harmonic engine in B minor that rides a continuous clockwise circle-of-fifths root motion for its entire duration.
Every eight bars it executes a deceptive ♭III-Maj7 substitution followed by a textbook half-diminished ii–V back-door cadence, creating perfect temporary resolution while simultaneously resetting the cycle.
The result is a self-perpetuating dominant chain that theoretically never needs to stop, giving the groove infinite forward momentum and zero harmonic fatigue; essentially a Mobius strip built from pure circle-of-fifths motion disguised as a 1970s banger.”
