The New Era - Never Knew Before

This track, is another musical work that was also inspired in part, by a Gothic, Supernatural, Thriller called: 'The Crow' - featuring Brandon Lee. (And an absolutely AWESOME freakin' flick!) 
Strangely (and ironically) Lee (son of Bruce Lee) actually lost his life while filming this movie. What a loss. R.I.P. Brandon. I dedicate this in your memory...

The chord changes in the chorus (and the verse for that matter) were actually written many years ago, when I was around 18 years old, for some kind of modal interchange project (from what I remember) while I was attending music school. (Basically, like an exercise, using chordal jazz voicings). I had always liked the chord structure, and for quite some time, wanted to do something with it, but also knowing that It would be something of a challenge to write a song around it, and it was. So, now all these years later, after taking it off the back burner and all, I feel I can now finally put the whole idea to rest, I guess…

Interestingly, I recently noticed there is sorta' like a remake of The Crow movie on Amazon. And just watched it for the first time. Its really good. Although, allot more graphic then the original…

Whoa, just discovered that there are actually a few versions of this flick, all worth checking-out from what I can see so far…
