Renowned musician and songwriter Arlon Marambio celebrates a major milestone with his new single On the Road Again Ft. Jorge Spiteri, which has peaked at #6 on the Record Report chart, marking a rising hit. The song, released on August 19, 2024, has captured the public’s attention for its emotionality and energy, highlighting both Marambio’s versatility and Spiteri’s unmistakable talent.
The Creative Process: A Journey of Collaboration
The story behind On the Road Again began in 2017, when Arlon recorded the first instrumental demo of the song. However, it was in 2019, during songwriting sessions in Caracas with Jorge Spiteri, where the magic truly emerged. From deep conversations and improvised sessions evoking Spiteri’s memories of his time in London, the song evolved into an emotional journey filled with nostalgia and hope. “It was our ‘Eureka Moment’ when Jorge improvised: I’m on the road again thinking ‘bout the sorrows and the pain,” Arlon comments, recalling that instant as key in the creation of the song.
The alternative tuning used by Marambio and the combination of Spiteri’s keyboard and voice created a unique atmosphere, with overlapping musical fragments that ultimately shaped the composition. Although Jorge was unable to complete the final recording, thanks to the collaboration with Carlos Imperatori, they managed to rescue Spiteri’s original vocals using vocal isolation technology. This allowed the legendary musician’s voice to shine through in the song, leaving an indelible mark.
Lessons in Life and Music
For Arlon, On the Road Again is not just a song, but a tribute to his friendship and collaboration with Spiteri, who guided him as a mentor for years. “I learned that the most important thing is the performance and the composition, and that you should record as much as you can. You never know when it will be your last recording,” Marambio reflects.
This single is also a reminder that small anecdotes and shared moments can become great sources of inspiration. Such is the case of an afternoon when Jorge, while talking about the Beatles, gave Arlon a pair of boots identical to those that the band’s shoemaker had made for him and his brother. That intimate moment between the two musicians is now immortalized in one of Arlon’s most special songs.
A Growing Success
The positive response from the public has been evident since the release, with the song quickly climbing the charts. Arlon Marambio and his team have managed to create a work that not only honors Jorge Spiteri’s legacy, but also resonates with a new generation of listeners, keeping the spirit of rock alive.
With this release, Marambio demonstrates his ability to fuse classic rock elements with modern innovations, positioning himself as one of the most prominent artists in the current music scene.
