LIKE all inspirations, this song was written in just one night. One of the very few English songs I wrote, and one of the very very few in such a light mood and a dash of craziness. If you have been reading my personal pages (but why? are you that free?), you should have known this guy is pessimistic introvert, and pessimistic introverts don't usually write happy songs.
Thanks to a posting of Jou Wei Hwang, that pointed me to a host of music software, just at a time when I was hunting for such software. From the list, making a rather random choice, I picked up the Zel midi language (because the name sounds cool, you may want to take a look at http://www.zelsoftware.com to find out for yourself), and like what I normally do, I downloaded the preview version, spent about an hour or so looking through the tutorials, and another hour or so peeping at sample files and stealing from here and there, and bravo, out come my maiden midi file in less than 3 hours. (But I guess being a newbie, what I did was just scratching the tip of the ice-berg, so if there are any suggestions on how to improve my Zel script, I would love to learn from you!)
And I would certainly love to hear your comments too. Thank you.
Listen to the midi file here:
Here are the Zel script, and the lyric.
