Hi everyone!
I wanted to make a waltz, but not just any waltz, but one with a harp, a bouzouki (a Greek 'guitar'), and a koto (a Japanese 'guitar').
And that wasn't because I necessarily wanted something special. No, I was just trying out instruments in Band in a Box. Then I noticed that I liked the sounds together. Not all the time, but at certain moments in the song.

And I wasn't specifically looking for a waltz either, but just for a feeling I had in my head that I couldn't get a grip on. Well... it's a long story, but eventually it became a waltz. I used three pianos in it, in two different styles, and Tamar provided the backing vocals.

The song is about something I sometimes think about myself (and I think many people do): when you think of someone from your past, does that person ever do that too? That gives a mixed feeling; On the one hand a nice feeling, but on the other hand also a bit sad, because you never know for sure if this is really the case. In short, that is the story of this song, but with a hopeful ending.

Let me know what you think of it,
Hans
