"I wasn't planning on releasing this track just yet, but it seemed timely to do so now. I wrote this song in late 2021 and recorded it in January, before any inkling of a Russian invasion of Ukraine had even crossed my radar.
Gaisin is the small Ukrainian village where my grandfather was born and spent his early boyhood. As I was writing this tune, which is a kind of klezmer/jazz hybrid, I was imagining him as a boy, idly sauntering around the village. No child is idly sauntering around any village in Ukraine today."
