"All this happened to me because of music."--Erik Satie

The music bed is an adaptation of Satie’s Gnosseinnes #1 to a rock-tango beat. My goal was to pay tribute to Nuevo Tango music and Astor Piazzolla, with a nod to glam rock. The lyrics are about the love that God empowers you with. It’s your responsibility to do something with it. Felipe Torres called it “elegant” and told me to make it the last track on the I LIKE THE STREET album (where the long version first appeared in 2011).

I perform it in my live set on occasion. It is founded on an F minor chord played on a 12-string guitar tuned down to C/G/C/E/G/C. When you play Fm from the 4th fret, it makes an odd Fm9/7 chord. I played all the instruments and it was recorded entirely at Mind’s Eye Studios in Williamsport PA (with Scott Francis at the board).

Ultimately, this track is nothing without Satie.
