When I decided to record my own version of “And so I know” by Stone Temple Pilots, it wasn’t just a cover — it was a way to say goodbye. After Scott Weiland’s passing, this song took on a different meaning for me. I sang it softly, with acoustic guitars, harmonica, and a warm organ background, trying to capture that strange mix of melancholy and rebirth that lives in its melody.

For me, the phrase “And so I know” means realizing that something has started again — that even when someone leaves, some part of their energy keeps finding ways to come back. The song became a reflection on cycles: the end of one chapter, the beginning of another. I recorded it in one take, almost like a prayer, feeling that fragile line between loss and continuity.

I didn’t want to imitate Scott. I just wanted to honor him — and in the process, I felt a kind of peace, as if music itself was whispering that everything begins again, just in a different form.
