LA Rockers "i" Celebrating Love and Remembrance: New Song "January" Pays Tribute to Cherished Memories!
In a heartfelt ode to the essence of cherished memories and honoring departed loved ones, the captivating new song "January" encapsulates the profound sentiments of love, loss, and remembrance. Crafted with deep emotion and inspired by poignant moments, "January" is set to touch hearts and resonate with audiences worldwide.
"The concept behind January dawned on me while driving through a neighborhood, observing discarded Christmas trees lying in the gutters beside trash cans. I was struck by the abrupt transition of these trees, once the centerpiece of joyous holiday celebrations, now relegated to mere disposability. Just days prior, these trees had symbolized the focal point of everyone’s festive spirit, adorned with presents and cherished for its role in creating happiness. Yet, once their purpose was served, they were unceremoniously discarded without a second thought.
The video for January was captured during a live acoustic show streamed amidst the COVID lockdown. This special event coincided with Dia de Los Muertos, a significant day in Latino culture dedicated to honoring the departed. Central to this tradition is the 'ofrenda,' an altar adorned with photographs of loved ones, alongside their favorite foods and beverages.
During the live stream, we not only showcased our own ofrendas but also extended an invitation via social media for others to share pictures of their departed loved ones. The response was overwhelming, flooding us with an abundance of submissions that exceeded our space constraints. To ensure inclusion, we incorporated a heartfelt video slideshow at the conclusion of the live stream, paying homage to all the submitted photos as a tribute to their memory." - Al Granados the groups front man.
