(caged heart necklace picture from http://www.lushjewelry.com/ used without permission)

recipe for melancholy.  ingredients:  1 piano melody with a stray 9th.  1 diminished chord progression (it can resolve.  still works.)  1 abandoned lyrics from 2 years ago.  1 guitar.

marinate piano melody and chord progression in reverb until soft.  finely chop old lyrics, discarding all but 1/3rd.  using guitar, find a wandering solo.  stir in solo.

serve with a dash of heavily distorted power chords.  garnish with drums.
