Acoustic guitars feature in this gentle, if a little sad piece. This is a reflective kind of piece, with a slight uplift in the chorus, but generally melanchollic in nature.

JJ is an artist who adopts a very eclectic, genre hopping approach to his music. Combining soft Accoustic guitars and wailing Electric guitars with Ambient Electronics and programmed beats, Joshua treads a line not often pursued. Inspired as much by the trance rock of Steve Hillage and the electronic textures of vangelis and Jean Michelle Jarre, to the Acoustic brilliance of Gordon Giltrap and Steve Howe, JJ wanted to express this by heavily featuring the guitar within an electronic setting, and crucially, still retaining a true sense of perfomance (as oposed to the mechanical and often 'fake' guitars found in tracks like '9pm till i come' for example. The music of Joshua Jouet swings wildly from almost completely traditional acoustic guitar, to full on dance floor stompers. Think that great electronic music cannot survive having a featured guitar?....think again!

Story behind the song
This track was written around the same time as 'We Can Weep', and i think that my state of mind is reflected quite well in the two pieces. Neither of the tracks are a response to any specific event, and this track was actually more inspired by a new love in my life. But, as later events were to confirm, the track's mood is quite fitting. I was writing and producing a lot of music for television and film at the time also, and was under considerable pressure. These two tracks were among the few that i kept back for myself. TECH note: The bass part on this track was played on my Electric guitar passed through a pitch shifter 2 octaves down with zero original signal (which explains the 'free' timing on some of the notes, as the shifter does not track accurately!
