Story behind the song

The piece was originally written as a guitar
accompanied worship song by Andy. A song
about the beauty of simplicity, and of
attaining it in the complexity of our
modern lives. I then sampled Andy's beautiful
guitar playing, remixed the song and
released it on one of my worship CDs' a few
years back, but Andy really preferred the
original. These days, I think the backing
track works so wonderfully as an
instrumental piece, reminding us of some of
the tracks on the "Cafe del Mar" compilations,
that this is the way I have released it here.
