One day Alex was starting to take a nap and suddenly an idea for a new song came into his mind. He quickly went to his computer and recorded all the parts. Then he called me in from the next room an asked me to make up some words. So I sat down and just started recording and improvising. My voice was all crackly and tired. At first the melody was there but the words were mostly jibberishy. Later on I fleshed them out. I was thinking of a story about a guy who isn't appreciative of an amazing and beautiful woman, and rejects her and hurts her because of his own problems inside himself. "Whether the stars are near to mars" was one line that I never fleshed out or found a replacement for. "Don't exaggerate" came from the french version of that expression, which I love: "T'exagères!" It's like saying "You're f*#!@* kidding me!"
To celebrate this song being out in the world I put together a little video of footage from our touring this summer, entitled CASIO MANIA!
