Monday
A new melody started to get stuck in my head as I thought more and more about the first song. Eventually it was all I could think about so I went back to it and altered the ending. The new ending is just the same as the verse but with two extra chords, being G7b13 and E diminished. I also decided that the ending will fade out.
With the song finally complete I figure it is time to record it and listed to it. Please bear in mind that the recording is a very early sample without a bass line and much practice.The finished product will be much more polished.

I thought about the general idea for the second song and wrote down some characteristic in bullet points:
It should have less chords than the first song
It should have a strong melody and highlight the keyboard sound
It can feature trumpet, but the main focus should still be the keyboard
With those points in mind I began experimenting. I finalised my ideas and recorded them.
Thursday
The chords for the head should be as simple as this. I plan to emphasise on the melodic movement of the piece. I will also add trumpet to the mix further down the line.
I also recorded a me playing around with these chords in mind. Be aware that I ignored mistakes that were made and kept on playing because this is just a sample.
