Rude Awakenings
A new song by Jon Tiven and Steven Kalinich with Brian on guitar. I dig it. Nothing revolutionary but a fun little track....
“Brian [May] & I have been good friends for over 40 years, and last
time he came through New York (while I was living there) he came over
and we had a few jam sessions which we recorded in case something good
could come from them. I added a few instruments and sent it to Brian,
who was quite shocked at the shape it had taken, quite delighted
actually, and insisted on fixing a few things on his original guitar
track. But the essence of the original inspiration is intact and very
much the soul of the song.” – Jon Tiven
“‘Rude Awakenings’ is
awakening to the realization that we are lacking something inwardly
spiritually in this modern world. All the achievements and wealth do not
bring us joy. I sent the words first and Jon and Brian already had this
track to go with it.” - Stephen John Kalinich
