A cover version, with added lyrics, of the instrumental of the same name by guitarist Michael Casswell (from his album 'Complaints About The Noise'). I lost him, and can never get him back, but I kept hearing him in this melody. He recorded his original composition in my studio in Spain, and spent endless hours/weeks getting the guitar harmonics for his intro and outro just right. His notes filled the house, and still fill my head. My added lyrics talk of him recording in that place, and how, in this little Andalucian town where I still live, his amazing playing still sometimes seems to echo around the mountains, and reminds me of what was.
It's not a happy song, but by remembering his music I can, in the right mood, be uplifted..
