The story

Exactly on 31st December, just hours away from my first New Year to be met outside of home (Kiev),

I really could feel it - it's coming... Just as written. And what did the old year bring to me?..

What was interesting that, in fact, every meeting of a new year, over those years (1994-1998), were so inspiring for me that every time on December 30 or 31st a new musical idea would be born. This is what wade this particular song quite unique. - It takes snapshots of three moments of my life taken on the same day over three consecutive years and somehow naturally bound together into a single song.
