Eddy came up with a chord progression that reminded me a lot of a tune I like by Gerardo Alfonso, called “Asi de sencillo.” He had the basic structure in place, with a great groove and coro, but we both thought it could use a bridge to break up the monotony of the basic progression. Inspired in part by “Sencillo,” we started with a basic minor descent from the iv chord, then used some modal mixture to resolve the phrase in an unusual. I think it gives the song some nice harmonic variety – and Eddy found some great lyrics to fit to the melody, as well.
