How this song came about:
We stopped. Collaborated and listened. Ice was back with his brand new
invention. Something had grabbed ahold of us tightly. We flowed like
harpoons daily and nightly. (Okay, it's old now. Finally.)
chewToy came over and brought a disk with some of his musical ramblings
and I heard one that caught my eye, or ear in this case. We fooled around
with it and from whence "nothing" became "something". Then about 2 hours
later chewToy made the mistake of teaching me the chords to Van Halen's
"Jump" and work was over for the night. Two weeks later we came back to
the song and finished it, adding about another 2 minutes. All in all
there's probably 6 hours of work in this song.
The title came about because it took us half an hour to realize we had no
idea what kind of title we needed. After another 10 minutes of flipping
through dictionaries pointing randomly, I started thinking of generic
names, ie "Sector 7", "Area 2", "Map 8", etc. And chewToy said "Revolution
7." And we decided that it would be the name. Because it was the best one
so far. And besides, it's hip, it's cool, it's with it, it's doin' the
macarena. It's the name.
chewToy and I plan other collaborations like this, we've got a polka duo
coming up, and after that, a waltz. IN 7/8 AT THAT!
Hey, you know what? It's 4:29 AM. We're very tired.
Stay cool, have a good summer, don't ever change, good luck with the
"girls".
Yeah, that's our bag, baby!
