“Déyà“ (written by John Wetton in 1976 and performed by ASIA in 1981)

In 1981, while rehearsing material intended for the first ASIA album, the band recorded their live performances as they worked out arrangements. This is a shortened version of the rehearsal for “Déyà,“ written by John Wetton in 1976. Coincidentally, it was recorded on June 12, 1981... John Wetton’s 32nd birthday. John was never able to finish it as he felt it “didn’t go anywhere,“ and so it was tossed-aside and forgotten. It was discovered again in 1997... and 10 years later during writing for “Phoenix“ I brought this to John’s attention again with a plea to record it just the way it is! He promised me that he would “find it a home“ which he did! A “fly on the wall“ recording, this is one of the most beautiful and haunting melodies you’ll ever hear... This photo collection tribute is dedicated to John’s son, Dylan Wetton who I’ve known since he was a little kid. :) Photo Credits 3:22 - “Denise Romano Bright ” 4:25 Lisa Wetton 5:10 Lisa Wetton
