It was from a session between the 1184 and Likferd albums. I also identified some unused keyboard sections recorded by Valfar from the exact same period. I could not try to remember neither of these and grew to become euphoric by rediscovering this. So, I blocked out the exterior planet, locked myself in the studio, and it promptly ship me 20 many years again in time. I felt Spellbound doing the job on this track. For a several times it felt like me and Valfar was doing work collectively in the studio yet again, and what a unusual and fantastic session this was. The dynamic of operating jointly with Valfar is a thing that I will often pass up, and these peculiar days was like a time vacation into a shed time. The outcome of this session is ‘Into the Mountains,’ a track that feels so pure, fresh new and critical for us, yet with a fantastic homage to our olden occasions. Lifetime is a odd curvy highway.”
