• The pad that starts off this track was something I came up with while working on something completely different. I made a mixdown of the chords and did not return to the idea until some time afterwards. For some reason, the keyboard sound had reset itself and I was unable to re-create it. I tried for a very long time before I decided to simply use the old mixdown I had. The audio was not of perfect quality, but what the hell.
• The drum loop was created in Fruity Loops – a program I only used for a short while. It is still one of my favourite drum loops.
• The trumpet is played by Petter Lindgård, an experienced session musician. He actually laid down this trumpet for an old track called ”Homesick” – that originates from the days when stockfinster was still a band – but his part fit perfectly here as well.
• This track features a voice sample, like many of my tracks. This particular sample I wish was not there. I have tried to get rid off it, but the track is so old it won’t open on my current system. It is taken from the movie ”Carlito’s Way”.
