The song was written around 2004-5, at a time when I was flirting with making hybrids between traditional (including contemporary and classical) music, and punk (roughly explained).
Primal expressionism has always moved me, in all kinds of art, so if it’s a screaming voice or another instrument, doesn’t matter much more than the culture it comes from (which means nothing).
There’s so much to experience in the music world if you’re into contrasts and raw expression..
Anyway, I’ve talked a lot about that before in the blog so will not bore you with it again.
The song was performed extensively on tours the years after it was composed.
We even made an EP for the China market, released by October Party Records, with 5 songs on it. And we backed it with a couple of tours in China after the release.
