Next up for your consideration is song #4. This is another one with some history. This song came to life in Russia almost four years ago, and started as a droney, meditative, acoustic guitar thing. In time it mutated into a bouncier piece with a touch of reggae in its DNA. Click here to listen to the original, ancient, bouncy version. Nastja, who loved (and performed on) the bouncier version, begged me to include it in this upcoming album.
But no matter how I tried, the piece wouldn’t fit with the other songs. I just couldn’t feel it as part of the album.
Until I got it back to its roots, that is. This involved throwing everything out and starting from scratch; I even ditched the middle section entirely, and that was my favorite part! Anyhow, this droney, meditative song – renamed ‘Anthem’ – has a strong international feel to it, and turned out to be one of my favorite songs to date.
