I remember clearly when one of my childhood guitar heroes, the great Carlos Santana once said: ”Just as we have two eyes and two feet, duality is part of life”. And honestly, I can’t say that I did give much thought about it then. It seems that some words require time to be understood, and that true wisdom can only be acquired through age and experience. Today, I dare to say some instead of many years later, I admire his prudence as much as I admire his music. The truth that I only came to realize as of late is that no matter whether we look around, or within ourselves we will find duality. The two sides fighting for supremacy, no matter how opposite they may be are always present in every one of us, and everything that we know of. There isn’t anything that can entirely be positive or negative, good or bad, true or false, but only a balanced harmony of the two that creates a whole. Just as the day is a fine balance of light and darkness, the atom of positive and negative energy, so is in each and every one of us a plethora of opposite thoughts, feelings and characters that define us in our unique ways.
Despite everything that I’ve just said, I believe that mere words aren’t the most potent medium of translating this message, and certainly not a medium that I am very comfortable with. So with the help of a very special guest on this track, my friend and an outstanding vocalist Oliver Katic, I have tried to bring this story closer to you the best way that I possibly can, through music.
