Audio: [mp3] (3.9 MB) I wrote this song in the midst of some corporate turmoil that was going through not just Compaq (which owned the research lab where I was working) but also large parts of the computer industry and Silicon Valley. The sentiment of upper management was sharply focused on near-term profits--or, perhaps more precisely, on near-term survival. That may be the corporate world, but there's more to be enjoyed in life, even traits that are not hailed by Wall Street and front-covers of magazines. The initial cut of this song seemed to be missing something, and the background vocals were too pierce. To the rescue came my cousin Bengt Karlsson, who with his family visited us from Sweden. With Bengt's eager guitar playing, good listening, and helpful suggestions, the final recording came together in but a few hours. Enjoy! |
