about

Words
This is the only instrumental track on the album, so even harder it is to speak about it.
It all started when I was warming up my hands on my MIDI keyboard. I played those four-note passages and even thought that probably they have been used hundreds of times by other musicians. Nevertheless, at some point I decided to hit the record button...
Months later, when Levon and I were thinking out the arrangement, we realised we were working on our first electronic stuff. We enjoyed trying different library sounds and giving the tune its shape, but then at some point I had no doubts about the sound of the electric guitar to keep up the mood of the Seasonal Affective Disorder. One of the several solo guitar parts I was lucky to come up with for this album.
When writing this long title on the paper I once decided to shorten it to S.A.D. Hm... “Sad”... Another case in the series of lucky coincidences I have been witnessing for all these years?

Drawing
Hard it was to draw a picture for this track, too. How to express the mood on a piece of paper? How to draw the guitar solo or the beating of the heart?
