Story behind the song
There's a very interesting story how I wrote this piece. It was back in 2005 when I became very sick in New York City. I didn't have my piano with me so I used my portable cassette recorder. When walking down Park Avenue in the upper East Side in Manhattan, it just came into my head. I took the recorder out of my pocket and just mumbled and whistled it on tape. What is interesting - the original melody was very fast, three times as fast as this version. I slowed down the tempo 'cause I wanted this piece to sound like some classical late Beatles songs.
