Are We Going to the Park?

Howdy, music friends!!!
I once again come to you with a simple little tune that was hastily-thrown together on my M8 a few hours before submission. The M8 is showing about 1.5h worth of time, and that includes some of the idle time it was laying around turned on while I did some stuff on my PC.
This week, the excuse is a bit more justified, though: work was kind of a pain, I had to deal with car problems (the rear-view mirror in the cabin just came clean off!), and the samba band I'm a part of had three gigs this weekend (two on Sat and one on Sun).
So after all of that (including the gig earlier today), I sat down for a while to write some music on the M8. While fiddling around with the Hypersynth, I was able to arrive at something interesting and introspective, but about 20 minutes in, I accidentally erased it before saving. I tried recreating it from memory and got pretty far, but it was already had a different feeling. Sadly, that idea didn't end up going anywhere, so I started again from scratch. It started off with just the percussion, then I added the chip-sounding stuff, and the piano was the last thing I added. I rarely make stuff in major keys/modes, but it's an avenue I really should pursue more because the results are always so fun and uplifting.
After I finished making this song, I listened to it a couple of times of repeat to try and figure out what the title should be, and the energy of the song really made me think of an happy little puppy getting overly excited about the prospect of going to their favorite place of all time: the park.
On a completely unrelated note, I apologize for not interacting with the community all that much recently. I have been commenting on a very slim handful of songs here and there, but it's been hard to keep consistent. I haven't even been able to respond to comments on my own songs! I just want y'all to know how much I appreciate you and this little corner of the internet. Thanks for being a dope bunch. You rule.
PEACE!!!
