Kerrys Waltz The Rock afire Explosion Original Song
Kerry s Waltz is a song I wrote without lyrics in 1971 while still in college. I had mostly forgotten about it until I was asked to come up with an original, romantic waltz for The Rockafire to perform in Ryan Gosling s new movie, Lost River, which, at the time was dubbed, How To Catch a Monster. I recalled the waltz I loved and played on the piano in college for anyone who would listen, and searched for the reel to reel tape I recorded it on to remind myself how it went. Rushing to finish in time, and hoping Ryan would like it, I wrote the words, recorded the tune, programmed it and got the Rockafire to Detroit in the Summer of 2013 for his filming. It was filmed, but, disappointingly, did not make the final cut of the movie. When I wrote the melody at 17 years old, it was my dream to someday fall in love with a beautiful angel who would love me forever. Long before I met Kerry, I had given up on that dream, but, here I am, 61 years old, singing this song through Billy Bob for my Sweethear
