何年か前に藤井がやっていたロンドンのレコーディングに遊びに行って、そこで会って以来「いつか一緒にやろうね」と連絡をとりあっていたDanny Cummingsの曲。ロンドン郊外のサリーにある静かなスタジオでロウソクの灯りとお香の香りの中でリハーサルを重ねて録音。トランペットが不安な心の代弁者。Dannyの選んだベースのDudley Phillipsは偶然、Kateが頼んだベースでもあった。
I met Danny Cummings a few years ago through a recording Fujii was working on. We kept in touch wishing to work together someday. We recorded this song after several rehearsals in the candlelight and incense in a quiet studio in Surrey, outside London. The trumpet speaks of an unstable mood of mind. Danny chose Dudley Phillips as the bassist, and he happened to be the bassist whom Kate also wanted to work with.
