body knows someone suffering
from Parkinson’s, so you just want
to give back. Everyone has the
same spirit, and it’s great to play,
the shows are always magical.”
One song you’re bound to hear
at Light of Day is “One Guitar,” a
song by Nile that has taken on a
life of its own. Mike Peters of The
Alarm, who is one of many to record a version of it, calls it one of
the best live songs since “Rockin’
In The Free World.” It’s an anthem
that has become a traditional
sing-along at The Alarm’s annual
Gathering shows in Wales and has
become one of the favorite jam
songs at Light of Day.
“‘One Guitar’ is fun to play live,”
said Nile. “People know it and
sing along to it. The song does
seem to have taken on a life of its
own. Sometimes I’ll go through
airports and people will be singing the chant. It’s sweet.
“I think I’ve grown more confident, as a writer and in the recording studio, as the years have gone
by,” Nile adds. “I’m certainly more
comfortable at it than I was in the
early days, and less intimidated
by the process. But one thing that
hasn’t changed is my passion for
the music. I’m having more fun
with it now than I ever have. The
fire still burns deep in me, and
making music has more meaning
for me now than ever.”
