Midnight

I was still awake. Lots on my mind, I couldn´t get any sleep.

At midnight, when the world stops, silence speaks louder.

For an early bird like me, being awake at 00:00 is highly unusual.

But unresolved thoughts have a way of keeping you up, often in a stressful dance of despair.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, this melody pops up in my head. It was not a melody that I had heard before, but it sounded strangely familiar. Like something from out of an old Italian movie.

I got up from bed, put my slippers on, and headed towards my studio.

By the time I had arrived, a whole piece had been conceived in my head. It probably had only taken me about 10 seconds to get there, but it was enough to conceive a one-and-a-half-minute-long piece. It took me longer to write it down on a piece of music paper than to compose it in my head.

The next morning, I was at my studio recording it. I somehow feel like this is a piece from another era, one that I didn´t live myself but experienced in movies (I have always been a great cinema enthusiast).

Here is the piece, it´s called Midnight. You can listen to it by clicking here.

Enjoy, and have a great day.

Claudio.
