What could come next except the middle of the album, the conceptual switching ground that I include almost pathologically as an homage to the Side A – Side B LPs of my youth?
This one has also gone through some changes that I find kind of interesting. It started life as a completely improvised piece created at breakfast in St. Petersburg with an American student we first took to Russia in 2004. The three of us launched into it over my simple guitar chords, and it was free, and pure, and beautiful.
Later attempts to hammer out official lyrics left me unsatisfied, so around the beginning of the year, I chopped ‘em out and posted a version that I liked here. In time, of course, I found that piece somewhat lacking, so I went back and pretty much plunked a “solo” right in the middle of the all-instrumental piece. And that, more or less, is what’s going to be on the album. What remains throughout all these iterations, thankfully, is the sense of lightness and love that I get from this song. It brings up memories of good times.
