Ellie Thomas - Confused melody

Talented pianist Ellie Thomas shows her skills in this beautiful piece, purely piano - emanating classical and ragtime influences. The introduction takes the chords where you wouldn't expect, followed by the most engaging arpeggio-style section that pulls on the heartstrings. It then transitions into a ragtime section, followed by a reprise of the arpeggio to end. Confused Melody is a track from Ellie's EP, 'Helping Hand', a collection of compositions that explore the internal processing of challenging emotions surrounding gender dysphoria. Despite having no lyrical content in this piece, Ellie describes it as depicting emotional changes, with a moment towards the end which indicates a move towards a more positive outlook on life.
