about

Back when I was a sophomore in high school, we had a radio station out of New York City called Q104.3. In the years between 1993 and 1996, they were THE coolest rock station that ever existed outside of 89.5 WSOU. Q104 wasn't like your KROCKs or anything like that. These guys were playing deep-cut Anthrax, Type O Negative, ACDC, COC and so much more. They played commercial alternative and metal but they also strayed away from the mainstream often. Enter a band called Eleven.

Eleven was formed in LA and left behind an excellent musical legacy even though they were little known. Jack Irons played drums for The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mark Lanegan, Les Claypool, and Pearl Jam. While the founder, Alain Johannes went on to make major contributions to some of my favorite albums including Queens of the Stone Age, Chris Cornell, Them Crooked Vultures and was a player for Dave Grohl's Sound City Players project. Natasha Schneider was married to Alain and was a great musician as well. She was also involved in a lot of these projects before she passed away in 2008.

Jump back to 15 year old Loki listening to Q104. This song jumps on the airwaves, but there was no DJ stop to tell me who the song was by. I thought it might have been Faith No More cause I was at least familiar with them and to me, it had that kind of vibe. Back then there was no Shazam or for that matter, we didn't even have the internet to look anything up. It seemed I would miss the name of the band every time they were on the radio but finally saw their video on MTV. This song always stuck out and stuck with me. The opening riff is so cool. It stands the test of time.

I don't believe this song ever got the attention it deserved. So I pay homage to one of my favorite songs when I was a kid and hope to share it with my friends and fans. It was a blast learning the riff and solos. ALSO this is the first time I am recording live keyboards on my setup!

Hope you guys enjoy the song!
Loki

lyrics

Trapped in a shell my intention is strong
With a mouthful of water I can break through a stone
Carried on a dove I have dropped from the sky
Now the ground is above and my goal is set high
Reach out with a kiss from my mother
Reach out just to smile at my father
Straight like a wand my magic is simple
Sensing your laughter the breeze makes me nimble
My colors displayed I am ready to travel
On the back of a bee all my children unravel
