“Dreamcatcher” came to me in a dream, I heard a musician playing it as I walked to a busking spot. I woke up at 6 a.m. and rushed to record it before it vanished… Steffi wasn’t thrilled about the noise, especially when it turned into a full-blown Iron Maiden-style gallop halfway through.

“Carpe Diem” was written during my first year of traveling full-time. Those early days on the road had a special kind of magic, not knowing what was around the next corner, but being excited to find out. That feeling of freedom and possibility became the inspiration behind this piece.

“Winter Light,” inspired by Linda Ronstadt’s beautiful version, immediately stood out to us because of how effortlessly the melody draws you in. It felt like a perfect fit for the album, one of those songs you can simply drift away with for a few minutes.

“As Tears Go By” has always stood out to me because of its beautiful melody, and I was amazed at how naturally it fit the Chapman Stick. The Rolling Stones wrote so many timeless songs, and this one turned out to be a perfect addition to our classic rock album.

“The House of the Rising Sun” was actually the first song I ever learned on guitar, long before I picked up the Chapman Stick. It’s one of those classic beginner songs that teaches you a whole world of chords, and later, when we brought it over to the Stick, it took on a really beautiful character. A true classic that somehow still feels fresh, no matter how many different ways it’s been played

“Unchained Melody” has been a longtime favorite with many of our listeners, and it’s easy to understand why. Few instruments can carry the emotion of such an iconic vocal melody, but the Chapman Stick somehow gives it a voice of its own. This is one of those timeless songs that keeps finding new generations and continues to strike a chord every time it’s heard.
