ABOUT THE SONG

Never ever witnessed a green flash, but I keep a look out.

A green flash is a natural phenomenon that you can sometimes see at sunrise or sunset. It is a magical spiritual moment, where you get a glimpse into the paradise that is unattainable for us. That’s what this song is about. Almost gospel, but in the performance really blues. My intention was to build on the well-known piece “Somestack lightning” by Howlin’ Wolf.

Green Flash was released at the end of September 2024, and it’s the first new release in a few years. The piece was released on the day that I left with the Saskia Laroo band for a tour to India. It’s great that Saskia has included my song in the repertoire of her band. Green Flash was on the setlist at every performance, including at the great Ziro Festival for a large audience on the other side of the world on a huge stage that was completely built of bamboo. What an experience!
