The opening bass riff came to me while I was hearing about George Floyd murder just after it happened. We had just written all the following chord changes as a theoretical song, and then this happened. Practice was done for the night.

Over the next week i heard of the protests, throwing down of confederate leaders statues, motions in congress and the world being rocked for freedom and equality through true Black Lives Matter movement. 

So when we finally had a chance to actually play this song through, it had become an evolving creative anthem to “Keep it Up”, keep up the work of creating a world where all people can know freedom and feel safe in their skin.

I love how every time we play this song, it’s different through the main pattern is the same. Like any work or Revolution, the manifestation of a good patter is often not what we expect, but if the underlying framework is understood- we can move forward cohesively with respect for one another’s creative freedom.
