GRANT SAID "I LOVED THIS SONG SINCE I HEARD THE SIMON AND GARFUNKEL VERSION AS A CHILD. I didn’t understand the lyrics then, but I was entranced by the melody. I didn’t know it had been written in the 1700s. Except for the first verse, which is perfect, the other verses are about the man giving his woman a series of increasingly impossible tasks to win him back. I changed that around to be more modern, and wrote an original chorus to imply the rest of the story. The irony is that my character is telling Kevin’s character to find her and bring her flowers and salt of the earth, and treat her in a way that is likely to draw her to Kevin, not me! LOL - that’s what he deserves! My favorite part of shooting the video was playing the lead guitar in the cemetery wearing my black duster. Kevin called me ‘Hillbilly Slash,’ a name that I totally embrace.”

ACCORDING TO KEVIN, “Musically speaking, I wanted to remake Scarborough Fair because I thought it fit Grant's passionate style and voice like a glove, as well as being a perfect fit for my haunting percussion style. On a personal note, the song reminded me of both a former girlfriend of mine passing away, as well as the loss of my mother within a year. My second marimba solo reflect the image of my mom right after she passed. I couldn't record at all until my engineer said to me, 'Just channel what you are feeling into the solo’.”
