Musical Keys work in two ways. Either the non-natural notes are sharp, in G, D, A and E, for example, or they are flat as in F, Bb, Eb and Ab. I rather think life is like this at times. Some days, I'm sharp, other days flat, but rarely do I consciously feel natural
Keys have different moods. Consider the Majestic Patriotism of 'Hen Wlad fy Nhadau' in Eb Major Majestic, yes, but emotiional and heavy somehow, historically this key has had a 'divine' devotional quality. Life's been a bit E flat Major recently.
I long for the simplicity of C Major. No sharps or flats, just dancing along the white keys, plink-plonking 'Doh-a-Deer' whilst not giving a shit about those darned accidentals.
It's the accidentals in life which cause the mood swings. The accidentally falling in love. The accidentally being a total dickhead and saying the wrong thing. The accidentally drinking/spending/eating/loving/sleeping/whatever too much.
To err is to be human, apparently, but I want less erring.
I want my life to be in C Major.
Simple.
