Athletes in mind and body

Congrats Team Singapore! Didn’t realise that they were coming back. I also missed the tv coverage of the Paralympic Events. There’s been some debate about the prize money . Kudos to Ms Eunice Olsen – you’ve been a real voice. But in the end, is it about the prize money? How these paralympians must have been so proud of themselves. They must have surpassed so many barriers mentally and physically to have come so far. This post is dedicated to celebrating their victory and thanking them for being such heroes and such beacons of hope and inspiration!

Did this song quiet a while ago. It was a raw version with just 2 guitar tracks and I passed it to Ivan to add to it. Since he bought a bass, I thought it would be nice to fill the background with some lower notes. He also added some nice acoustic guitar fills to it.

A song dedicated to my bandmate Ivan for his patience and philosophy.

This song is about flying free and igniting your imagination (or the other way around). I felt the song in my mind so it was easy to write it. Its raw though and needs the fine engineering touches of Ivan
