When you're feeling nervous about an upcoming significant event (an exam, a job interview, a presentation, a tournament, a recital, a first date, etc.) for which you can't prepare yourself any more than you already have, you have reached a point where all you can do is hope for the best! Since my composition method is somewhat experimental, "Hoping For The Best" is also my motto when I start working on a new piece. https://soundcloud.com/david-laprise/hoping-for-the-best-1Title: Hoping for the Best Key=D , Tempo 107, Length (m:s)=3:59 8 bar intro, 32 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 40.

Put a smile on my face ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) I'm totally surprised how well the rockabilly acoustic bass matches the feel of the other instruments. Great arrangement. Hope you'll do some more songs, should be interesting listening.

You showed how a little experiment, pushing the envelope a bit, can really make something interesting happen. I think this track is pretty cool, and bounces along with a little bit of New Orleans style in there. I would love to hear more of your 'experimental' approach!
