@petepaphides Uses aching minor 9th chord, and melody which stays on an F# while chords roll round underneath. Anthemic chorus with faster harmonic rhythm, resolving back to hanging minor 9th = pain. Can’t settle between major/minor. Lyrically promises love but with caveat. Perfect, complex.

Wow. THANK YOU @Nicklezard in @spectator: "You may have noticed the book’s length… I am not sure even Proust moved that slowly. But the extraordinary thing about this memoir is not so much its extent as the ease with which Paphides carries you through.” https://t.co/kE4mUGE5Ot
