25 years ago this June, I released a little song called “Tempest“, on a record bearing the same name. At the time, I had no idea that it would change my life. 3 weeks ago, I was supposed to begin the “Tempest 25 Tour“, one of the biggest tours of my career... a celebration of that record, and the 25 years of music, and touring that followed it.
But of course, that tour was postponed. So here I sit at home, like most people in the world, wondering what to do during a pandemic.
This video started as a simple idea: I’d use this time to record a new version of Tempest. See if it would sound different all these years later. Have I changed as a musician, or as a producer?
Oddly enough, the process seemed familiar. The original was also created with me alone at my house, playing all the instruments. 25 years ago, I couldn’t afford to hire musicians. This time it’s social distancing. Luckily, my friend Marito has a beautiful studio in his home, and so he was able to add some fantastic timbales to the track. It’s amazing how much life one extra person can add to a song. Things you learn during a pandemic.
For the filming, I had the help of my 12 year old daughter. She wisely wishes to remain anonymous, so I didn’t include her name in the credits. But I wanted to acknowledge her great camera work. I’m incredibly proud of her!
I hope you enjoy this. It was a lot of fun to make!
