This release is a shortened down version of the original song.
I remember that I wrote the string arrangement standing, in our rehearsal space.
The studio equipment was way too big to travel around with, to our small apartment on a daily basis, but we did it anyway. Since we recorded a lot at rehearsals, the computer was placed on a huge bass amp, so it was reachable.
Many arrangements was written on the bass amp. Among released songs, I remember “Search Forever!” and parts of “Night” was written like this.
The string arrangement, guitars and piano on this release, is the original recordings from those days (when I was about 22 years old). Nothing has been changed or altered. The same can be said about the studio equipment, it’s still too big to drag around, but I tend to do it anyway.
