SPB: Prior to putting this re-release together, when was the last time you revisited the bonus tracks that you ultimately chose to include?

By The Spirits: Bonus tracks included in the re-release of “We Are Falling” before the actual release were just sketches created after the original release of We Are Falling back in 2018. I put them aside intending to release them later as they were connected strictly with the context of We Are Falling. For a few years I had completely forgotten about them, but then, when the idea of re-release appeared with Eisenwald, we thought that would be nice to give something extra to the original songs. I’ve started to look through my ideas and sketches and found these tracks. Or maybe small pieces of music and lyrics which finally became the “Hidden Among” track. The second track -- “The Sounds of the Wilderness” was created from scratch as a supplement to the first one.
