In Search Of The Lost tribes
A sad and wistful melody threading through gentle arpeggios
Just an oldie still making music.
Story behind the song
I awoke very early one morning with this melody running through my mind, and immediately played what I could to fix it for later development.
This is now the first part of a story 'The Tribes'.
The travellers return to find their homes empty, with not a sign of their families and friends visible in the ruins of their village, nor the neighbouring villages. Indeed, even the great city is deserted and starting to decay, but there they find a clue.
A city scribe has left a tantalising ledger entry that says all must leave. There are details of when and how, but no explanation of why, nor where the tribes will go.
The travellers rest for a few days while they consider their options, then with heavy hearts begin their search, having no idea of when or whether they will be reunited with their loved ones.
