#1 - First instrumental Mr. Conroy song
Most Mr. Conroy songs have one or more instrumental themes and a vocal melody. Song for Rasmus is a pure instrumental and was never intended to have vocals.
#2 - Title inspired by Elton John
The title was inspired by Elton John’s almost instrumental 1978 track “Song for Guy”. Because Remi’s piece was written for Rasmus, the simple “Song for…” format felt exactly right.
#3 - Guitar theme written on piano
The theme was adapted for guitar and Jens played it beautifully with a sound similar to the one that Rasmus used on his guitars. We doubled it by having the piano playing the same theme, which just felt right.
#4 - Piano/guitar contrast between verse and chorus
The piano, representing Remi, carries the verses, while the guitar, representing Rasmus, carries the chorus. This reverses the perspectives in “Can’t Take Anymore”, where the verses are written from Rasmus’s point of view and the chorus from Remi’s.
