Words from the artist:
“As the story goes, when recording the album War, U2 had significantly exceeded the studio time allotted to them to record yet they were still one song short. So, Bono opened the Bible to Psalm 40, hence the name of the song, and they composed and recorded this song in less than an hour.
As a nod to their time restraint I decided to limit myself to completing this piece, from start to finish, all within an hour.
This piece is titled “Miry Clay”. Oftentimes throughout life we find ourselves stuck and in need of rescuing. In Psalms 40, David sings, ‘the Lord brought me up out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.’.”
