Rising Sun was written on the Live in Japan tour in 91. I remember my dad playing that around the house on the ukulele....When Jeff and I were working on the song ‘Rising Sun,’ it was one of the saddest and happiest things to work on. To hear the finished result, with the big strings on it like my dad had intended - it was the best thing ever. And then to realize that he never got to hear it, even though he probably just heard it in his head the whole time - for me, it’s still one of the saddest things ever. And at the same time, to go through my father’s music with a fine-tooth comb made me see things about him that even I hadn’t realized: that he was even more impressive than I thought he was. And that might sound like an arrogant thing to say, but, you know… even though I knew what I had, you never quite know what you’ve got until it’s gone.” - Dhani, Guitar World, Jan. 2003.
