“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

I had gotten into bands like Juno Reactor, so for this one I was looking to writing something like that. It was also another foray into creating songs that were not standard ‘four on the floor’ beats — this one has waltz timing.

This was written just before the turn of the millennium and there were a lot of religious pundits and doomsayers around predicting the worst based on biblical teachings. So the tone of this was based on that idea. Also, it is another in a long line of examples where I start off with a slow tempo and double time it to increase energy.
