Well, of course, not really a lost chord, because it's here, maybe for ever now, who knows... and really its three chords all on top of each other, but basically one very big drone in the key of B... or maybe you think it has more of an E feel. Again, its not really a song, but time was tight this week, 'cos I've spent three days sawing and drilling and banging bits of wood together, to make a shelf/rack for my guitars, so now they are all hanging out together in the corner, between two bookcases, so I thought I'd do this drone-chord in the tiny fragment of time I have this evening. I've been thinking about the lost chord all week, maybe next week I'll start thinking about the last chord; there's a theory out there (okay, I read it in a Sonic Youth interview once, I admit it) that one day, all the sound ever produced in the history of time will come back to Earth in one great big aural tidal wave, and destroy us and the universe and everything, so that huge sonic rush really could be the last chord ever!
Anyway, each time I've listened to this chord tonight, I've heard a new bit of melody emerging, it really is very strange; so if I haven't managed to locate the lost chord, at least I may have found a lost melody or two...
