This track has been composed when Warren Mendonsa was living in New Zealand where the weather during winter is notoriously gloomy. Warren hadn't seen the sun for days, when one day it popped out from the clouds while he was playing guitar. The song just flowed out, pretty much most of the main theme.
Bass: Adi Mistry
Keys & iPad textures: Beven Fonseca
Drums: Jai Row Kavi
Guitar: Warren Mendonsa
Written, Mixed & Mastered by Warren Mendonsa

Aniruddh Dimri absolutely, i started listening to it thinking there will be a lot fast blues licks, but still I wasn't disappointed cos it was eminently soulful. Hats off Warren.

u can't compare the rate of appreciation of warren with mainstream filmy songs.lots of indie artist in our country holds different popularity in indie field.even in west lots of artist with great talent r underrated in such genre cause in west also mainstream is pop,rap we know.so I think we should judge independent artist in respect of their field n we all know indie scene is growing rapidly.in a country like 1.3 billion ppl,very small support can also create big audience.if u think indian audience sucks then u should check stel andre from greece what a guitarist n what a underrated he is n he is from europe

Listening to this today feels me with a warm sadness and a smile. Blackstratblues was the last music show I went to. I missed a lot many things prioritizing work and thinking the world will move the same and I will see something soon. But a year into the pandemic, all I can do is remember that there were good times and hope for the same. Warren is a beautiful musician and I always make it a point to attend these guys' gigs whenever they are in town. Today, on a Monday, working from home and in solitary confinement away from friends and family, this song truly is an Ode to a Sunny Day.
