I’m not going to lie, I was intimidated by this conversation. Partly, because I didn’t know Igor… but mainly because when I first heard the song I was like “I have no clue what to say about this song”… and anyone who picks a song like this has to be above my pay grade. But this was before I gave the song a good listening to or 15. When I gave the song an actual chance, it all changed. Like I’ve said before “music doesn’t discriminate”… people do. I was making a judgment call way before it was fair. Now, when I hear the song The Cave of Rebirth it makes me happy.
Thankfully, I was completely wrong. Igor was a pleasure to talk to. He picked a song that he can relate to… not just musically but also culturally. The composer and Igor have so much in common… it makes so much sense looking back at it.
