Story Behind The Song

As a result of having not changing the strings on one of my acoustic guitars for over 4 years, the low E string was dulled to a point where it no longer rang out but still had a nice definitive tone and stayed in tune. This allowed me to play rhythmic two string riffs on the Low E and A string without the E getting to much in the way of the sound but still allowing the harmony to be heard and felt. One of the riffs had a definitive world beat sound and feel which I really enjoyed and inspired me to start working out drum and percussion parts to compliment the simple rhythmic guitar part. After the drums and percussion were added I thought some synthesizers might be nice to give it a more modern feel. When it finally all came together, "Caravan" was born.
