This piece of music has been special to me for a few years. BC & I tried writing to it, but it always felt like an epic piece of music verses your typical pop/rock song. So when we met Lindsey Stirling last year the light bulb 
💡 went off. We are so happy this collaboration came together to add another layer. To top it off- having my beautiful wife’s soaring Chant like vocals on the “choruses” made it even more special.
It’s flamenco like/aggressive nature makes me think of my grandmother Bi Bi Ballas. I know she would’ve been proud of this one. I hope you all enjoy it.
