“I have to rec this song because of the awesome riffs and the solo at the end! This is Gavin at his best in terms of rapid rocking licks. Not only do his fingers fly but there are some awesome musical ideas here. The kick drum adds a nice solid beat for the guitar to play off... Look out for this guy!”

“Another great song on an album full of skillful guitar playing! This is a slower largely instrumental song on nylon guitar but was the song that brought Gavin Coetzee to my attention. In addition to a beautiful main theme, it brings in some lovely tones and harmonies. A great song!”

“This is a great song on an album full of great riffs! Gavin's style is reminiscent of Fionn Regan and the darker elements of Jose Gonzalez at times. This is a dark experiential song about crime in South Africa with a great riff and a great rhythm change!”

“This is an immensely personal song written after a visit to Rwanda ten years after the genocide. It is inspired by visits to some of the genocide memorials across the country and the big question of how does a country move forward from such devastating events. Having seen the way ordinary people were moving forward with their lives and the contrast between that and the anger of those visiting the memorials that such events took place, it showed me the immense capacity that people who have experienced such devastation have for forgiveness. And my realisation was that the only way for people who have suffered so much to reclaim some form of power over their lives is to find some form of forgiveness.
This song was ultimately a cathartic experience that helped me make sense of all that I'd seen in Rwanda. I hope you enjoy it too.”
