Those were still my keyboard days. I hadn't touched a guitar yet. In those days I did my compositions on the keyboards. The structure of this song reflects that. I liked the melody and the interplay of the melody and the words immensely but I never played it to anyone. I cannot explain why this song remained hidden in a secret nook. "ferar poth nei temon/ferari dine tumi ele shohosha." But at that time no one had arrived all on a sudden. Who knows how a song is born! Is it sometimes a secret wish? A wish that seldom comes true? If it does, the story becomes predictable and loses its edge. A few months ago a friend wanted me to play her some songs. She was recording me on a Zoom high definition video camera. I kept playing songs to her and in the midst of it all this song surfaced from the recesses of my mind. I layered two piano voices to get the flavor of an electric piano sound
