Singled Out: We Are Scientist's Rules Don't Stop
. This was the first song to be written for "Barbara," and it set the tone in a very, very literal way. Well aware that popular culture was beginning to move away from guitar bands, I knew that, if I wanted to keep buying boats and houses and purses full of money (again: what I'm buying with my money are things like purses full of new money), I'd need to find ways to make the guitar, that most loathed of instruments, sound more interesting. Before I'd even begun writing the song, I'd found the guitar tone � the eerie, reverb-drenched, organ-like sound that features in the intro. Nobody can argue that the organ is overused in contemporary rock music, and, even if they tried to do so, I'd just throw my drink in their face and walk away. Anyway, smart guy, this is a guitar that sounds like an organ, and I defy you to cite other examples of that. And, even if you could cite some other examples, I'd just buy a new drink and throw it in your face, because that's just ridiculous, smart guy. Really. I realize that it seems coy to not go over the specifics of how I devised my guitar tone � what pedals I've used, and on what settings � but, really, I would simply be giving away my trade secrets. Like I said, I've got to worry about funding my addiction to boats and full money-purses and stuffed fox-heads. I may not have mentioned the stuffed fox-heads before. Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and check out the video - right here! Preview and Purchase We Are Scientist CDs We Are Scientist MP3 Downloads |
