Behind The Tracks: Chorosia - Stray Dogs (Single) (2023)

Anto: "“Stray Dogs” is a title that came to me after a visit to my hometown. I’ve had it for quite some time. After that bus drive from my hometown back to Vienna, I crashed on my couch feeling a bit down, as usual after a visit home. You know, back to the grind I guess. For some reason, I kept thinking about the stray dogs on the streets of my hometown. That might’ve been around the same time when I heard the news that the local hunting club decided to solve the issue of stray dogs on our streets. Yeah. What do you think they did to solve that? I’ll give you a hint: we don’t have a dog shelter, or anything like that, in our area. It just bugged me so much. Poor dogs didn’t choose to live, or die, that way. As I kept thinking about it, I kinda connected to stray dogs as well. You know, never really being home, switching back and forth, travelling, buses, departures, leaving loved ones both here and there. Now, I’m not complaining at all, I chose to live this way and I’m really happy with my choice, but those 11-hour bus drives tend to get a man thinking that way. Well, that’s good, ‘cos guess what – Stray Dogs were born out of that. So yeah, right there on the couch I picked up my acoustic and noodled around, and the main riff for “Stray Dogs” came out."
