Eat your heart out, Chris Martin
You might need to click to enlarge - apologies for the quality of the scan.
Those with a musical eye (yes, not ear) may note the lack of dynamics. It was intentional. I considered a "forte" around the mad middle bit (bars 9-12), then thought better of it.
Perhaps I should do something a little more productive now the Apprentice is over...?

All looks very impressive Moon but not being able to read music I have no idea how that would sound. Perhaps you should sing it and upload a video.

Not sure about the video, but will remember to do a Chris Martin impersonation next time I see you.
The song: imagine a steady piano note, a steady drum beat and a slow monotone whine. That's it. In the simplest key imaginable, without changes to tempo, dynamics or key. There are twice as many notes for an exciting bit, with the "vocals" doing a classic Martinian (martian?) trick: do exactly the same thing an octave higher. I had considered a modulation to the key of G for that bit, but that's not in the Coldplay spirit. Who'd have thought something so dull could be claimed to have been cleverly constructed?!
I could make millions.
Just to capitalise on my musical genius:
"Go world peace".

I can read music so appreciated your composition. It reminds me somewhat of the first 'tune' (the word tune does imply that there is more than one note) in the jibbidyf and ace book called, 'I am C'.
It went like this:
'I am C, middle C. Left hand, right hand, middle C' and featured the note middle C.
