“Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” — Aretha Franklin

from Bad Day

Haven was co-written with Sanaa Rush. The pad notes heard at the beginning and the piano part were all she sent me. I just repeated it a few times and started building the track around it. Not knowing where I was going to take it, I was please to find out it was a trance piece with a nice jazzy mid-section. I thought it sounded a bit like Gusgus. This was another single-shot session where the track was complete by the time the night was over. The e-piano was played live.

I was going to include this on The Unforetold, but I didn’t think it was strong enough among all the other tracks, so it became one of the complimentary tracks for the Bad Day EP.
