Modern times are harsh. Trump is in power; tech bros are trashing the news agenda, and far-right loudmouths are lapping up undeserved attention .... but the "Gorgeous, Pouting Mr AR" is seeking some reconciliation. "Hands in the Air" recounts Mr AR's dismay when a close friend ventured to this dark side online. The song reaches out to this friend in hope.
The song features vocals from acclaimed singer-songwriter Carla J Easton (https://www.carlajennifereaston.com) and esteemed actor/musician/artist Sita Pieraccini (https://sitapieraccini.wordpress.com/).
Fuelled by the finest wines known to mankind and dark adrenaline, the dynamic duo of Carla and Sita delivered stellar performances befitting the themes of the track on a frigid February evening a few years ago. The searing guitar solo was played by Will Cole (son of legendary 80's artiste Lloyd Cole).
