Notes
Sound carries its own message, so I was fooling around with some unusual foot pedals and trying to get a sound that would allow me to play slowly, from the vantage point of being very small and seeing a fifty-foot person walking down the street playing a guitar. I was writing down all these words: 'large,' 'big,' 'scary,' and also 'unyeilding,' 'purposeful' ... I went crazy for pages and pages, like I'd been studying a thesaurus. I wanted to think of the guitarist on this track as being like the Colossus of Rhodes. As I narrowed in on the title, I was also narrowing in on the melody. It really came from that: a mental riff on bigness. A Gyrating tone-poem, with the solo revealing a different, more vulnerable side to the giant.
