"It's in Your Hands + Variations on Satie"
SUNDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “It’s In Your Hands + Variations on Satie”—
— Our hands have power. We can perform great feats like build a house, write a symphony, whack a ball into the outfield, or find a cure for a disease. It's in my hands but God directs me. This is also a song about the love, resources, and skills that God empowers me with. I do not have to be afraid to take risks with these skills and abilities, and I am thankful that God gave them to me in the first place—that is my edge. Musically this song is a rock-tango adaptation of Erik Satie’s “Gnosseinnes #1.” I mingled Satie’s melodicism with influences from glam rock, Nuevo Tango, and Astor Piazzolla. Felipe Torres called the song “elegant” and told me to make it the last track on the my album I LIKE THE STREET.
"All this happened to me because of music."--Erik Satie…The playing instructions for Satie’s “Gnosseinnes #1” are "open your head" and "perform with astonishment."
