"Once around the Sun"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


After listening to Nexus to-day I figured out the piano part at the end of "Once around the Sun."  It seems like I'd been close to figuring it out a few times before, so it's good to finally know it (although I still have some doubts about the accuracy of the fourth phrase).

It would have been too difficult to match the tempo of the original recording (the piano is the only instrument playing, and it's pretty fluid as far as time signature), so I didn't use it as a template, which is what I usually do.

I also included a D note at the end, which seems to resolve it, although I don't think it really comes until the very beginning of "Infinite Wanderer."
