Finally, a new song. Here’s the backstory, loosely translated from 1 mot, 1 chanson:
Word-wise, it was just a matter of documenting a topical issue.
Music-wise, I felt a strong urge to compose. The only preconceived idea that I had was to use a new symphonic sound bank. I wanted delicate, subtle timbres and intertwining, counterpunctal melody lines.
Later, as I was tuning my electric guitar and playing basic chords over a straight-ahead drum loop, the Geekette happened by and swooned.
She loves nothing more than heavy, primitive rock music, you see, and with the lyrics already singing her praise, I had no choice but to go down this rocky road, even if my pop proclivities ended up needlessly polluting what could have been a good ol’ plain and simple rudimentary rock and roll tune.
Still, pump up the volume, and give Chemistry a whirl.
You might not regret it.
