I DONE A THING - AN ACTUAL SONG! (Patreon)

Hell yeah. This is probably a mess, the key and chords are probably all wrong - I dunno, I've never done this before - but this is the first actual complete song I've ever made where I wrote all the music.
I was aiming for something a bit Talk Talk/Life's What You Make It-y. The only thing on this that I wasn't responsible for is some of the background percussion. Everything else was done by me; bass, keyboards, synth whooshes, fake guitar - the lot.
This might sound like I'm parping my horn, but I'm under no illusion that this is any sort of work of art. As a complete amateur, who is at no risk of stealing Chris Jerden-Cooke's crown, I'm pleased with how this has turned out. I've come a long way since I posted that piano noodling the other day.
I mean, I know this is like a little kid showing his parents a drawing he's done, but... well... it has shown me that if nothing else, I'm slowly starting to get grips with this whole songwriting thing.
Please stop me from doing this again tomorrow. I should be working.
