about

Having somehow found an irregular tuning for this song, I played it on and on and on, until such a dangerous idea of recording it in the studio came to my mind. I didn’t mean to change it significantly, just not to use harmonica due to my inability of playing it. However, something should had taken its place. When I was recording grand piano tracks for other covers, I asked Levon (my Soundman) to add one more track to ‘Solitude’. Just for fun, just like that.

No pretentious piano parts were in my head at that moment. I just tried to shape the harmony in minimalistic way, and so I did it carefully, with some dose of hesitation. Whether it worked or not, the resulting version sounds different. And interesting too, I hope!
