about

The song was written after my father-in-law had a minor stroke. Today he is on a fast track to recovery but the experience reminded me of the fragility of our human bodies. The bittersweet character of the melodies and slightly off-center timing represents the delicate balance in which our bodies function.

Like many other compositions in the world, I’m sure, this can be called an amalgamation of several different ones. The chord sequence was an old idea I did for a dance track (if you can believe) and I added bits and pieces from other tunes. The main melody tied everything together nicely. The second part of the melody (technically the Bridge) was born out of me attempting to play only with my 1st and 3rd fingers of the left hand, which forced me to slide around and change positions in what was, at the time, an awkward way. While trying to navigate with only two fingers this melody slipped into place.
