The lead song in this EPK was also the last song recorded for the album. I needed one more song so I made it up from what ever I was feeling was right at the time. In a few days I had lyrics about the condition of our World today. In the song I refer to our World today as that of a run away train out of control. I quote " the train is a runaway, stay on board , enjoy the ride." At the time, I myself did not know what this song was about. Then it hit me right in the face one day as I listened to the second verse lyrics " Today the War machine is going strong. Is there something wrong. Are we OK."
One of the Violin players on the song is a girl from Kharkov Ukraine. The other I was told was from Turkey. I then found the Violin players I thought was from Turkey is actually Russian and only in Turkey because he feared for his life after publicly protesting Mr. Putin"s war.
Turns out the song is about the Russian/Ukrainian War even when I had no idea what I was making the song about. It has both a Russian and Ukrainian Violin player on it working together. I often call it the War song. It's actual name is " Are we OK." All the players on the song found it interesting how the song came to be while some of us where actually living through this war. The song is also featured here on the video.
It scored a 7.9 on my reverbnation crowd reveiw. It is the highest score I have ever received.
The second song " Hello, Goodby " is an attempt to remember and capture the feeling of the 1980s which I grew up during. It scored a 7.8 on my reverbnation crowd reveiw and for the first time it felt like I was actually being appreciated as an Artist by the critics. I think because they got to see me in the video they realized am an actual human being. Both songs where choosen for curation by reverbnation.
My third solo album Radio Songs is scheduled for release on Febuary 14, 2023. It is available for presale on all music platforms. Preveiw clips of all 12 songs can me heard on my website denedie.com/presale page.
I also have preveiw clips of all 12 songs with download links at denedie.hearnow.com.
