This is a song in two movements that was initially written back in the early 90s; by far the earliest piece of writing on the album. The first section is a song that I wrote while traveling through El Salvador in 1993. I remember feeling the spirits of those whose lives have been lost to war all around me, and feeling like they were crying to be cared for, and not left to wander the land, lost and forgotten. The second part of the song, “dance of the forgotten ghost,” was an instrumental piece I had written after coming back from India in 1991. Originally, the melody was carried with voices and sitar, but I re-orchestrated it as kind of a classical-yambu fusion, and felt that it would work as a kind of ballet for one of the ghosts who had been left behind in the first section of the song. I love how they fit together and resolve in a way that connects not just the sections of music, but speaks to how we are all connected through forces greater than ourselves.
