The Dave Foster Band – The Best Things In Life Are Free

The singles ‘Sleep Spindles’ and ‘Delicate Things’ have preceded the release of the album. Foster explains that Sleep spindles “are a specific brain wave pattern that researchers believe is a process that our brains use for long term memory consolidation and sensory processing. When I first read the phrase I wrote it down as a potential song title.” As for ‘Delicate Things’, he continues: “I’m a big Muse fan and wanted to have a crashing power chord thing going on, but it’s Dinet’s melody lines that make this song work so well for me. She’s great at weaving good melodies through my odd chord changes.” Poortman adds that the song “is about how precious life is, and that the things that really matter are the small things. We can sometimes get so wrapped up in our own perception of life that we forget that everything worthwhile is actually free.”
