This is the original instrumental that was developed into a vocal. Ray took the instrumental reworked the melody to be more suitable for a vocal and wrote a cool lyric. It was then we approached Janice and Bud to see if she would like to sing it and if Bud would assist finalizing the production. Then after which Bud and Janice did the awesome video for the song.

This song was originally created in 2012 and sat for a long time without getting much love. I would go back an revisit it from time to time experiment with different riffs. After the concept of it was starting to take shape it became a staple in my daily guitar playing.

This is the instrumental version of the song.
