Program Notes
Pouya says:
At first I thought this song was going to be a couple minutes long but it turned out to be almost 10 minutes. The intro alone is about 4 minutes. The song itself led its creation. I felt just like a messenger. This was a written at a joyous time in my life. The main melody was written years before this came along. In fact we played a four-hands version at our wedding!! And I still clearly remember the spring day when I walked outside on our Lippincott St. with the birds chirping away and the intro melody was created.
Influenced by the inspiring poetry of Rumi:
In the house of lovers,
the music never stops,
the walls are made of songs
and the floor dances
