Why did you refer to "and the day goes on" as "folk progression"?
by that i actually meant probably something like a popular song somewhere during the late 1800s. possibly played on a banjo or something, somewhere in the united states. maybe something like 'she'll be coming around the mountain', or 'i'll be workin on the railroad'. i guess i just got jealous of all those types of songs, and i just quickly said something like 'note to self, do something like that'. and then the music, which tends to write itself and ambush me in situations like this, ambushed me, just simply with the chord form and a dummy melody baked right in. was lyricless at the time
