To be more precise I write the whole song at once, but normally melody comes from lyrics. T he rule to writing music solely to my own lyrics I violate only in sake of lyrics by Ivan Kiuru, who is very close to me in spirit. Kiuru's poetry inspires my own creativity. And this song album I devote to Ivan. And not only because it is about a poor man of many times and countries - the step son of centuries, so to speak.
Any creation is inspired by many others, at least a few impressions in a bundle.
About an impression such as life itself, there is nothing to say. Peter was a painter, as we know, of times when there were many vagrants. They were distanced from everything else, as if in the frozen mirror there was a warm spot, in which only they could be seen. This is what I once envisioned among many other things. Thus every song comes from reasons explained and unexplained.
