Chord tasting the major7 chords

During a chord-tasting session (like wine-tasting, but you taste chords instead of wine), I stumbled upon the Gmaj7 chord, and fell in love with it.

I love its airy expansiveness. When you play it together with the Cmaj7 chord, you can easily turn them into a 2 chords song with a nice floaty suspense.

I have named this 'song' Fathom. It reminds of scuba diving, regulating my breath underwater, my buoyancy determined by my breathing, and making bubbles as I exhale.

Here's the tab:

E----------2-------------2---------------0------0-2-
B-------0----0--------0---0----------0---0----------
G-----0--------0----0------- 0-----0--------0-------
D---------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------3----------------
E---3-------------3---------------------------------

And here's the loop, good for lullaby on sleepless nights:

Ok.. so here is my new song. There's quite abit of white noise in the recording, and also the bad guitar playing and singing.. don't expect much. I don't claim to have talent. And yea, I was having too much fun with the layering too.. Oh well, but it was such great fun! Also do let me know if this actually sounds just like some existing song written by someone else. It's really hard to tell if you're hearing from your muse or from subconscious memory, especially for something so intuitive like music. There's always the risk that I might just accidentally plagiarise someone. Here you go: He Finds Me Funny.mp3 - 3.02 Mb (the Artist name is 'Tian', that's my Chinese name) He finds me funny (Chords: C Am Dm G again and again and again...) He finds me fun-funny When he teases me into crying Crying like a baby helpless and weak I weep, I weep, I weep He finds me funny, I'm sure All my desperate measures for his pleasure That's what he is after, the laughter, I'm sure My measures for his pleasure He finds me funny when I'm weak Hurting deep inside till I am meek Crying like a baby helpless and weak My spirit weaker weaker He finds me funny when I weep When he teases me into crying Crying like a baby helpless and weak I weep, I weep, I weep That's why he has made me... Oh god that's why he has made me... Oh god that's why he has made me... He finds me funny when I weep... That's why he has made me He finds me funny, I'm sure... All my desperate measures... He finds me funny when I'm weak... Hurting deep inside till I am meek...
