a mind of piano

I have a favorite piano chord. It's CEA. I think it's more of a melancholy chord, and for some reason, I feel completely emotional when I play it.

Separately, each note is beautiful on its own, and it conveys its own mood. C is the good ol' boy note. The note that everyone knows, the note/key that I usually sing in, the back-up plan for any song. If it's hard to play, transfer the chord to C. C is easy and simple, but pretty.
E goes with C. It's the harmony and melody, it's the happy days duo, the reliable notes.
A and C go together pretty well as far as harmony, too. But when you add E, the mood, the tone, the emotion, the intensity completely changes.

Because I am muddled with all those emotions, all those combinations, but I feel like I'm a mere constant of CEA, or more preferably EAC...I like that order better for some reason, though I guess it doesn't really matter.

I'm not even good with music lingo, not really. I mostly play by ear, but I like to play what I feel, which is probably pretty common for you to understand if you've read anything I've ever written.

Anyway, from here forward, if I make any reference to EAC, just know I mean melancholy. Maybe I'm in a melancholy mood, or maybe I'm just in a mood.
