I have redone my own challenge of creating an endless chord progression without the root chord in it. It created the perfect atmosphere for this piece.

Key of the song: Ab Major
Chords: Dbmaj7 - Cm7 - Fm7 - Eb
Degrees: IV - iii - vi - V

I wrote this song inspired by the footage I filmed while on my ferry trip two weeks ago on tour. Watching the sunset and the ocean was one of the highlights of my trip and I knew I wanted to create music for that moment.

Thanks for watching!
