This song has a similar base line as Bach's "Air on the G String" but was conceived in a completely random way.

Story behind the song
Sometimes, during a show, I’ll have three people come up out of the audience and each pick a note on the piano. I then attempt to write a song using the three notes. “Air on the F String” is one of the few “three note” songs I’ve actually remembered. One time I was messing around with the song on a synth string setting and Michelle liked it so much that she’s been asking me to put it on an album for years. I’ve been hesitant because at the beginning the bass line is the same as Bach’s “Air on the G string”. But since this album is dedicated to Michelle, I just had to put it on for her.
