anne davis: music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

the story behind the song--

one day when i was working for a small music publishing company, there was basically nothing left for me to do that required my attention that day. so, i picked up a really nice old guitar--there were always these cool, upscale, old guitars sitting around in every room--they just sat around unplayed and always wore rusty strings that must have not been re-strung for at least a zillion years--well, it was raining lightly outside and i began to feel a bit nostalgic and sentimental....and there came this moment where the melody just fell into place out of nowhere and it seemed the lyrics to the first verse very naturally unfolded. it actually took me around 3/4 years to return to the song to wrap it up. it felt like a relief to finish it and let it become a song. it still continues to be one of my favorites.
