Madly

Written in 1992 and 1997 / Recorded in 1997

The basic idea for writing this thing originally built up in 1992, being inspired a bit from Going Quietly Mad by Al Kooper, one of my favourite songs at that time. Soon after the initial demo recording was done, I changed my mind to discard its chorus and bridge sections to make the thing smoother and called the resulted work A Beautiful Concept.

While I was planning a conceptual work provisionally called Lost Love Story, I had to revisit the said initial demo and decided to rewrite a new thing based on the discarded pieces. However, my personal circumstance at that time didn’t allow me to take the most efficient way, instead, I wrote further additional piece in order to accommodate enough room for new lyrics, where I could express my contemporary emotion. This time, it was musically inspired by The Village Green Preservation Society by The Kinks, another favourite song coincided with the time of writing this piece. The core elements of A Beautiful Concept are also presented in the guitar solo section due to the conceptual requirement.

For making this video, I have cut off unnecessary repetition in the later part of the audio and removed my voice tracks that delivered the meaningless lyrics, as usual.
