Story Behind The Song
"Nocturne No. 2" was made to be extremely moody. The A section came first - a tune popped in my head, and I knew immediately this would be a "nocturne" for more album, Nocturnes and Mysteries. Somewhat reminiscent of Chopin's nocturnes, but more intense. The B section followed a similar chord progression, but gave rise to more mystery and less of the moody nature of the beginning. Then came the C section which was added much later, which tied everything together.
The story I thought of for this song was a detective in the 1920's who gets in league with the wrong person who ends of betraying them in the end. Set on a rainy night in a fancy hotel and bar. The A section is the set-up, the B section is the meeting, and the C section is the realization that they have been set up. All of this comes to a head at the climax of the piece, before returning to the A section after all is said and done.

This mysterious, contemplative piano piece is meant to make the listener think of the noir genre. Black and white, enigmatic, moody. A very slow build to the climax of the piece, growing in sound and pitch throughout. "Nocturne, No. 2" is an introspective piece perfect for the noir, thriller, and mystery genres.
