I wanted to write a tune that was different from anything I had written up to this point. I was inspired by a Snarky Puppy song, of all things, and wanted to write my own slow, groovy, almost R&B type tune. But to make it live up to the title, it had to really shift gears from one part to the next, and within each part. I liken this song to tasting Campari, or Brussels sprouts: give it time, and the right preparation, and you’ll learn to love it for its nuances and distinction… right?
