I think this is my favorite track. Frank's too. It's in 5/4 but I throw in some 6/4's and other meters. Even a short free section. I was influenced by Hiromi Uehara's great compositions - full of drive. And fun. And emotion. I LOVE Hiromi! Anyway, we added Sandra on wordless vocals and it made it even more emotionally ecstatic. I love the climaxes! I hope you do too...
