So I made a cover of an Erra song with a little extra Rigatoné sauce. A while back I found out the meaning behind the song “Orchid” and it kinda stuck to my soul ever since. As musicians, we tend to write our deepest feelings in lyrics or channel that energy into a composition. This song was written with that intent and I can feel it. Even before I knew the meaning, I knew this song had something attached to it that was visceral.
My time in Erra was special.
I didn’t know exactly how much success would follow, but I had this gut feeling that Erra would be huge. Here we are in 2022 and I couldn’t be more proud of the band they’ve become and the sound they’ve worked so hard to build.
I wanted to write a solo to Orchid because the meaning moved me. It’s on the first Erra album after I left. It’s an album I didn’t listen to for years because of my former bitterness. I went back and listened to the entirety of Drift and it’s probably one of my favorite Erra records aside from their recently released self titled.
Jesse’s solo is sick and I didn’t write my own to compete with his. The song just reminded me of how much we clicked as musicians and how much fun we had despite our trials.
Life is funny but I couldn’t be happier with how our paths diverged. I probably wouldn’t be a dad to three beautiful kids or would have learned the many lessons I needed to be a better man.
Thank you for taking me on that journey Erra. I love that you’re a piece of me.
Forever grateful for you.
“Send me back to who I was back then
an honest man and a faithful friend
I’ll show you what life means to me again
Maybe in due time, you’ll let me in”
I found some old tour footage on my hard drive of some Erra times and it paired well with this song.
I tried my best to isolate the vocals on the original track to put over mine so hopefully it doesn’t sound too bad.
Pretty stoked with how my mix turned out and I hope you guys enjoy this alternate universe version of Orchid!
