You’re My 1988

Written in 1988 / Recorded in 1988 and 1996

I picked up a King Crimson song called I Talked to the Wind to the set list of a live performance scheduled for my band called Flowers’ one day reunion in early November 1988, and rehearsed the song, and some other new materials for the band, for a very brief period. Since the band was a trio, I had to be creative for covering impressive flute and guitar parts in the original as a guitarist of the band. After the reunion thing was done, I wrote a new song based on some ideas I have cultivated from playing the King Crimson thing and added a lyric to dedicate it to someone who acted like a girl of the year in my private life.

The song was later converted to an instrumental tune and the audio track of this tune is mainly taken from that material, except for the guitar solo section in the middle, which is taken from the initial demo recorded in late 1988.
