If there were only one song I’d wish to play for the rest of my days, it would be Naima, by John Coltrane.
A single staff to let my fingers roll, it would be the first one
And nothing but a chord from that staff to tune the whole world…I’d choose the initial formula : Bb7Maj on a mellow C continuo.
The entire reality would come and coil around this chord.
This very chord is so wide the whole music can curl up and rest in its heart.
Secretly holding all beings and all worlds.
From this chord, souls unfurl and vanish in the gigantic night,
Swallowed by the Love Supreme of the C bassline
Welcoming them again and again.
For anyone wishing to try
Here’s the code to inflate a galaxy :
Left hand : C-C
Right hand : F-A-Bb- D
