Anthony says: From what I remember, this song is entirely a Brian Bowhay creation, though of course as with all our songs any additions by other members was mostly original to the piece. Brian was our resident Techno / Electronic / Industrial / New Wave guru, though certainly Nate & I both were into those musics as well. One very cool thing about this track is the drums are real acoustic drums played by Emre but overloaded with distortions and effects to make them sound electronic and programmed. I'm not sure there's actually any programming on this track (we'd have to check with Brian). We'll also have to get Brian to dig out the original demo(s) of this track and some of the others he created before joining RCR because they are very cool. Of the amount of feedback we've received over this years this song is routinely mentioned as a favorite.
I believe the lyrics are primarily Brian's with a bit of tweaking from Nate & myself, although, it's very possible they are completely Brian's.
