Sunday Afternoon

Written in 1995 / Recorded in 1995 and 2013

Musically, this tune was kinda my tribute to The Kinks' Sunny Afternoon. This doesn't deprive me of the authorship of the tune but I have to admit that I made little effort for writing the basis of this piece of music.
It was coincided with splitting up with my girl friend, when I was writing the tune and that made me write stupid lyrics to go with, in which, I tried to make a contrast between one Sunday afternoon I had spent with her at a beach side in the previous summer, and another Sunday afternoon, when I was writing and recording this tune all by myself. Obviously, the major key part was set for the former to describe the memory, whilst the main part in minor key set for the latter situation. The recording ends with me playing the bass briefly give a cue as if I was about to start playing next tune. Perhaps, unconsciously I was implying to myself that my time for love is over and now it's time to go back to play Rock'N'Roll.

For making this video, I added the rhythm guitar part again to enhance the entire ensemble and filmed it for giving the video a bit of tutorial taste on playing this kind of chord progressions by the guitar.
