I have always been a fan of the music of John Lennon....and have a fondness for his song "Love" My desire was to take it to a new place....the idea of changing the beat to a seven beat cycle in a devotional mood with sitar, dilruba, tabla and piano became an obsession ....I practiced many ways to make it work...and found this tempo. Ravi Naimpally found a beautiful tabla groove and the song took its own momentum on our first take in studio....then I merged it with Happy Xmas(war is over)...and finished with a reference to the piano riff from the original Lennon "Love" My overall incentive was to express love as a citizen of a peaceful world in future...when east and west have learned from and complimented each other... and war is truly over . This arrangement was written for the #9 studio charity album "Christmas on Seaton Street volume 2" and is available on that album as well as track #14
