I'm super glad to be covering another track from Legends Arceus. For the longest time, I always envisioned a tango arrangement of this track. The Hotel California-like chord progression in the head really lent itself to that, but I could never figure out what to do with the rest. From there, the tango idea was out the window. Some time later, I had heard some Jazz Manouche Trio music, which has a lot of similarities to tango music. By combining the instrumentation from my tango vision with jazz manouche, this is what I came up with. If you've heard to original song, you'll know it is very different from this. The C section at 1:03 was originally in 6/8, and I like how it turned out when translated to 4/4. It's such a cool chord progression!

I'd like to give a huge shoutout to my collaborators here, as this is a very tough arrangement. When I started recording I immediately thought, "Why did I do this to myself...", but it was worth it! These musicians knocked it out and this project existing is thanks to them. Thanks guys!
