Timo Alakotilaとの打ち合わせで行ったGlasgowで行われていたCeltic Music Festivalの会場でたまたま買ったCDの中に入っていて、どうしても耳に残り、カバーすることに決めた曲。ベーシックは日本で録音。その後、気になった人に少しずつ楽器を重ねてもらったら、珍しくトラックがいっぱいになってしまった。間奏には豪華な嵐。二胡(胡弓)とハモンドが嵐を呼び、サバー(アフリカンドラム)とタムが落ち着けてくれる。
When I was at the Celtic Music Festival in Glasgow to meet Timo Alakotila, I happened to buy the CD with this song on it. It stuck in my mind and I decided to record a cover version. The basic track was recorded in Tokyo and as I met musicians who I thought interesting I asked them to add on instruments. Unusually for me, at the end, all tracks on the song were filled. In the musical break a gorgeous storm can be heard. The niko and the Hammond organ are calling the storm and the Sabar (African drums) and the tam is calming it down.
