About the song "Circles": | |||
I was walking home from the train station after work one night. It was dark and no one was around.<br> | |||
I found my self humming a bluesy kind of melody. <br> | |||
"What's that?" I wondered. I started adding words to it as I walked. "Feels like I'm going around in circles/ feels like I'm spinning upside down..."<br> | |||
The lyrics are about how a woman can make you feel crazy :-) | |||
I liked the sound of it, so I came up with verse to go with the refrain.<br> | |||
Then I thought, hey... this melody would sound great with a 70's style soul/funk/M.O.R. groove.<br> | |||
So, when I got home I started playing around with keyboard parts and drumbeats on my computer until I came up with a groove that seemed to fit the song perfectly.<br> | |||
I worked on it until 6 in the morning! | |||
Then I sent the track to my friend Hirayama Kunitsugu san and asked him to add some guitar parts. | |||
I didn't think this was a typical track you would hear in GF or DM, because it's pretty laid back but I sent it to KONAMI anyway.<br> | |||
To my surprise they decided to include it in the games! | |||
I want to especially thank Izumi Mutsuhiko san for his help with the mix and re-working the arrangement (length) on "Circles" so it would fit in the game format. He has a magic touch! | |||
I hope you all have a lot of fun playing drums, guitar, and bass along with this song and its relaxed 70's feel. Thanks for playing! | |||

Thomas Howard Lichtenstein composed and wrote Circles. I received the comments from Thomas himself! Of course, they're in English! But the English is simple enough for everyone to enjoy it in the game! You should read them!<br> | |||
In short, "after work I came up with a melody and lyrics that I like, all at once! Everyone, enjoy this song!" pretty much.... (Too short!?) | |||
