Robert Taira Wilson has today premiered his new video for the track titled ‘Ana’. That smooth heartfelt feeling of home from a genuine troubadour, ‘Ana’ showcases the seamless meld and fusion of Robert’s subtle vocal phrasing with phenomenally gifted and varied acoustic guitar work.
Robert, to me, is a guitar god. Yes, a guitar god. While most of us think of shredders and virtuosos such as Steve Vai and the immortal Eddie Van Halen, what we don’t tend to realize is that a true musician invokes a feeling. Robert is a master of that. He takes you on the journey that inspired him to write the song. He also brilliantly captures that feeling with his guitar. This is what a true artist does.
From Robert:
‘I have been working on this song for over four years, so it feels immensely rewarding to be finally letting it out into the world.’
‘On this one occasion I couldn’t quite find the moment to tell someone how I felt about them. I felt the opportunities slipping away and before I knew it they were gone. I felt heavy with inertia and dizzy, like the world was slowly moving beneath my feet. The night was a burning wreckage and as the smoke from it drifted up, I felt myself fall.’
