In 1971 did not only Apollo 14 land on the moon, but it was also the birthyear of Torsten Stenzel, half of the Outlanders.
1971 is Torsten’s composition. He had written the song some time ago and we decided it to add my voice and give to it the Outlanders treatment.
I thought it was a good idea to check what truly happened in the world on the day Torsten was born. I found an old cover of Argentinean Clarin newspaper and read the headlines of the day.
The Queen of the Sea and spring celebrations gave me the inspiration for the text of the song. This is another song where I am using my voice more like an instrument and Walter Giardino is colouring the song with his incredible guitar performance.
1971 was overall a pretty dark year with a raging Vietnam War and the song has an intentional darker undertone that gets carried from Walter’s spacy guitars too. We also added some Moog Synth baselines that gives a certain depth.
1971 comes in waves like the Ocean.
CREATION OF THE VISUALIZER
In 1971 visualizer we visit famous English Harbour in Antigua. Especially you see me strolling next to the houses in cultural heritage site of Nelson’s Dockyard. Every year the Sailing Week and Charter Yacht meetings are happening here. It’s a place worth to visit to learn some history of the island and enjoy a beautiful hike to Shirley Heights, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
LYRICS
From her throne decorated with spiritual motifs,
the queen of the sea greeted the enthusiastic crowd,
which she met to welcome the season of flowers.
The parade that included a dozen carriages
was part of a warm and bright celebration
that happened in that evening in 1971.
