'Cries of Desperation' is a clip from the concept album project, entitled Entropy.  Though I am not focusing on this project, I often will play snippets and add to it here and there. 
Today was an emotionally draining day. Oddly, I haven't played this song in months. After lessons, I closed my eyes and played this song for almost an hour. Life is not always warm. It is not always easy. This is how I felt today. Today's song I share with you.

Framing music was a song-a-day music journal of original expression, playing snippets, covers, recordings, productions, finished songs, ditties and oddities - whatever is the daily source of musical inspiration.
