Hello Everyone,
Alex wrote this song while on tour in California with JBB. He says, "Something about San Francisco is always so inspiring to me. This song is more guitar based than a lot of our other stuff and its like nothing I've ever written." Ba Donso is Craig's nick name and it comes from the Malian Bambara language. Ba mans "great/ wise/ big" and a donso is a hunter of the ancient hunter n'goni tradition. N'goni is the stringed instrument you hear Craig playing throughout the song. Alex wrote the music and melodies, and I started out wanting to write a story about dirty gritty pain, because all my other songs seemed happy. And from that seed came this story, about people oppressed, being held down in a hole by a big strong evil person. Then they get rescued by a big orange bird and brought to a new life. We Did This refers to pain we inflict on ourselves, and especially everything we humans have done to the old beautiful wild world to make it the way it is now... and now we're suffering and so is our Earth.
This is the drawing I made to accompany the song.
Enjoy it!
Love,
Kalmia
