Written in 1983 / Recorded in 2015
The very first song I ever wrote back in 1983, when I was 16 years old. By that time, all the guitar chord I knew was A, E, D and D minor and all of them was used for this simple stuff. Musically, I can sense the direct influence of Have You Seen the Rain by the Creedence Clearwater Revival. As for the lyrics, I picked up some words from John Lennon's Oh Yoko to sing along but they never settled.
The writing of this tune was too early to be properly demo recorded so that I made the first such recording in 1989. For making this video, I decided to make a new version from scratch and the initial process - the rhythm guitar part - was filmed for the resulted work.
