Soft & Lazy

Why it sounds this way

Soft & Lazy is a lo-fi chord progression that moves Imaj7 – IVmaj7 – V7 – vi7 (Cmaj7 Fmaj7 G7 Am7 in C). The feeling walks home · glow → open · glow → tension · poised → longing · mellow. The extra quality words (glow, poised, mellow) are why the colors soften or spark: sevenths and sus chords never quite say the feeling in a straight line. That matches a small tip for this mood: 7th chords blur the edges. That is why it fits a scene like “sunbeam on the bedsheet.” Play it on piano or guitar above, and switch keys if you want it higher or lower.
