The story behind the song

This song came together from a spontaneous moment of creation, beginning with a quiet guitar idea that grew into a full song that very day. It showcases a melodic style and powerful vocal outbursts, closing with a repeated guitar solo. As one of the first tracks recorded with guitarist Steve Morse on the album Purpendicular, it captures the energy of new collaborations within a band known for pioneering hard rock. Playing it, you can feel the raw, almost cathartic urge to let out a powerful expression.
