Melodic Instrumental Mix - 3

Discover Weekly Archive

FOR YOU is Peter Baumgartner's 3rd album. Different than its predecessor, The Zurich Sessions, but loyal to his instinctive songwriting nature: it all starts with a guitar in his hands and a melody in his mind.

Speaking about his latest single release from the new album, Peter  says: «I have composed OLD FRIEND originally for my 2014 album, The Zurich Sessions. The song pays tribute to the meaning of friendship in my life, well, probably in anyone’s life. And especially so in these testing times. The ‘old friend’ in my song could be anyone, a person loyal to you since school days, a close associate from work, your life partner – or do I even talk about the one who knows us truly inside out: our own inner self? What concerns the music, I was giving this new version of OLD FRIEND a slightly new spin that fits the more pop-music feel of the new album. I hope you like the result and it inspires you to reflect on friendship and what matters most in your lives.»

Asked about his new album FOR YOU, Peter adds: «The album is meant to entertain. It is not meant to teach or pretend – but hopefully to create interest with the audience that allows for reflection and inspiration. And it takes you to different places both in style and moods. Just when you think you classed it, it may hold a little surprise for you.

I’m incredibly fortunate yet again, to be surrounded by such an accomplished group of musicians who helped bring my ideas to musical life. A huge thank you goes to Jeff Thall for pulling us all together tightly through his production and mixing talents while Tom Durack, once more, added his final mastering touches.

Making music is a form of reflection and expression for me. I hope it will bring you moments of joy like it brought me making it ‘For You’.»
