Beaut

Written in 1990 / Recorded in 1990 and 2015

Another simple and meaningless composition of mine. One thing worthy to be mentioned about this thing is it includes a brief quote of the main theme from Gymnopedies by Eric Satie.

The tune was performed live twice, by a provisional band called The Show in late 1990 and by my solo act in early 1991. The former take was edited and uploaded onto YouTube under the title of Based on 'Gymnopedie No. 1' by Eric Satie. This version is not bad but I didn't like the change made by the keyboard player, who tried to play this tune sounds like kinda cocktail jazz.

The melody line I originally wrote for the voice part was replaced by the tricky-toned guitar in making the re-do video in 2015.
