Bedouine releases deluxe edition of debut album featuring new songs

"'Louise' is a song about conviction," Korkejian says of the first offering, a song sung solely in Armenian. "The impetus was pondering the difficult decision a family makes during wartime, to stay or to leave and seek refuge. I caught myself being a critic of people that were risking their lives to stay home but the more I thought about it the more I sympathised and even wondered if I would make a similar decision."

"I wrote 'Deep Space' in an airplane during an exchange with my neighbour," Korkejian adds of the other fresh cut. "He worked in the Marshall Islands to maintain the satellites for deep space. As he was explaining it, I thought, 'Wow, this is fantastic,' and started logging in these verses bit by bit in my mind. Eventually I went to the airplane bathroom to draft an audio recording of it. I used 'Deep Space' as an analogy for when you push yourself past the limits of your comfort knowing well it could be as rewarding as it is frightening."
