… with the comfort of a cup of tea. On today’s new moon, Peter has released the Dark-Side Mix of Looking for the Happy, the ninth song to be released from the album o\i.
The Dark-Side mix comes from Tchad Blake and you can hear it now on all digital platforms.
“Trying to get a handle on where you fit in life, that’s part of what I write about a lot. Also getting comfortable with two contradictory ideas simultaneously has been part of growing old – like being a part of everything and a part of nothing.”
“This was one of those songs that began with a groove, originally a groove with a Latin flavour. The groove is always so important to me, if I don’t feel it in my body, then everything is a whole lot harder. There are obviously songs I write which are not groove based, but this is one where it clearly helped shape the song. I’m always happy once the groove is kicking, it suggests where to go and makes it easy to play through and explore different ideas. Then I can take one look around the studio at any time and see happy faces everywhere and I think – this is why I play music.”
