Story Behind The Song
October 22, 2012. Hurricane Sandy took New York City and ravaged it with a fury we've never known. Floods, destruction in her wake. This larger than life city was powerless against her. The devastation insurmountable. It was 2am. I was about to go to bed, and had the notion to tune my guitar before turning in when my muses had other ideas. Save Us All was written between 2-4am while my windows were being pelted and the wind had built itself into a fury. I imagined all these people watching the contents of their homes floating by like little rafts holding all their memories.
This instrumental is orchestral, sweeping, peaceful in a strange way as it mimics the nature of water, flowing and carrying everything in it's wake.
Song Description
A hurricane becomes a metaphor for the ebb and flow of the lives we live. Memories floating by with the risk of losing it all. What have we learned and where does true wisdom come from. What will we be left with, what can we let go of, how do we tune in to what really matters, how can we listen more deeply. Surviving the storm and looking forward to better days.
