Restraint: 12. Strange Arrangement

The chord progression that starts this song is incredibly familiar to me, but I have yet to find the source. No one I've asked has been able to place it. So I hope I'm not ripping somebody off. A friend of mine said the chorus sounds a bit like Neil Young. It's not intentional because I don't listen to Neil Young.

Unlike most of the songs on this album, "Strange Arrangement" was pretty much written back in 1999, lyrics included. It just needed to be recorded. I knew I wanted it sparse, so organ and strings, upright bass and light percussion were as far as I went.
