about

You have Ange to thank for bringing CDs of the Rat Pack into
my life, we’ve got a Christmas one and then a non-festive
one, both recorded live, and they’re a great listen, really funny
guys who must have been amazing to experience on stage.
I really liked this sample and it leant itself well to hip-hop
tempo. I actually had it in a batch of other beats that I sent
to some WY emcees and got them to record in my studio to
promote them and the studio (these videos never emerged,
my bad) and Sandy Minto did some good stuff to this track
and actually made me want to use it!! It always helps to hear
positive opinions on beats you’re on the fence about, as it can
sometimes sway you in the right direction. Now, when I wrote
to it, and God knows why I went down this road content-wise,
I was pretty sure I was going to leave this off the album. It was
Addverse that convinced me to leave it on, well I said I’d leave
it off and he said “why?” if that counts as convincing.

lyrics

...How does thinking work?/
I think I kinda understand that the brain consists of nerves/
And little surges of electricity fizz between in bursts/
And...some...might...help...linking words/
While others make you sit, or curse, or shit, or search, or quit, or hurt,
or live, or learn, or liver work/
Or scribble verse, or kick some dirt, or listen, burp, or hit a person, or
attempt to consider infinity/
Or think of a hundred things then go back to what you
thought originally/
It simply is the pinnacle of what we live and breathe/
This thinking thing, the interlinking king of everything we see/
The most complex structure in the known universe/
It’s ludicrous that in the queue of supreme evolution you’d be first/
But there you are with that thing in your head/
Calculating your every move, interpreting every step/
Processing the smell, the sound, yeah I’ve been through this
there’s loads/
And then translating that and telling you so you know…/
...You gotta love the brain/
Everybody’s got one and though they look the same/
Each one is individual/
It’s something of a miracle/
They’re full of everything you do/
Without it there just isn’t you...!/
...You gotta love the brain/
‘Bout 1.5 kilo is what they weigh/
Billions of neurons, connected by synapses/
Communicating via axons which are protoplasmic//
