Originally called ‘You put a riot in my heart’, it was written March 2014 as a rocking tune and was pretty fast and intense. It was part of the original batch of tunes written for the follow-up to This Other World. All these songs were discarded due to sounding too much like ‘This Other World Part #2’. ‘Riot’ fell through the cracks and over time was turned into a mellow folk song that I’m quit proud of. Anyway, I got to play it for the first time to a live audience last week and the response was really great. I think I can say with some confidence that it has now been added to the Silent Moon track listing. Baby steps.
