This song I believe was the first song we recorded right after Talking To God, and is the sequel to The Perfect Day. As a matter of fact, it is perceived to be the same day, but later on... The Perfect Night I thought would have sounded shit for a title. I think we just called it Convulsions as a working title or some shit. I do like merging techno or chill out with metal, and it's easily done if you keep the pulse of the song intact.

The idea was to get Jennifer Hayes to come back around and sing this one as well, but I don't think she wanted to sing the fuck word, or this was when she told us the music was weird. Ha ha ha, stupid bitch. I'm so annoyed with that. I'm annoyed because it's what a closed mind would do. Say no to something you don't understand. There's only fear and love, and trust me, she was scared, ha ha ha. Ridiculous. I just wanted to shake her and yell in her face. Is that bad?

So I sang the lady parts (ha ha), and gave a tape to Nicole Pearson, who was a singer at the time and was a rep who'd pop into the music store. I believe we did shots on vocal day, ha ha ha.. I remember passing out at one stage, so it was on! I think Nicole's embarrassed of her vocal take to the point where we'd re record it with her if she was still keen or get someone else on there. And no, we didn't do the fucking noises together in one take.. I think it was her, then me.

I think this song was a hat tip to Prince. I wanted to make a sexy metal song, ha ha.. if that can even be done without having every motherfucker listening laughing their asses off. But, we tried. I personally love it. At least it's something different, ya know? Experiment, for fuck sake.

Guitars were standard tuning / Drop D. The Chorus is D lydian (I LOVE Lydian), and I wanted it to be happy sounding without being too major sounding Lydian's perfect for that.. The vocals during that part may be a little Devin-y, and the double tracked second half was definitely Patton inspired. Look, my favourite vocalists are Mike Patton, Devin, and Dio. And like I said, I still really hadn't found my voice, but at least by this stage I was aware and trying to get off that train (ha ha can you tell?). I don't even consider myself a singer. Or a lyricist. Hold me.

Fade out riff would have had double bass for sure. Work in progress.

Demo, roughed mixed, not mastered. I would have done my vocal shit over again.

I played bass on this track, and the thing I really like is during the chorus, you can totally hear that I vibrato'd some of the notes. TOTALLY stoked with that. And this was one of those times where the bass did not follow the guitars during the chorus, but had it's own melody. I wanted Gene Simmons meets Yngwie! I do enjoy playing bass. For reals.
