I had to write a lyric for this one on the last day and really had no good ideas. So, as the title says... A bit of a shame as I kinda liked the vocal melody and bassline. It's one of the lesser tracks now (together with the first one)

The lyrics are pretty selfexplanatory; it's about so-called magic-pill-solutions. The doubletracked "guitarsolos" could have been better but I only recorded them on the last day and thought it might be OK a little rough and off. I did them really…

There's several things I tried out that worked really well here; the popcorn-synthsound from the Dark Energy, the speeding up at the end, the minimalistic hiphopbeat. The lyrics are a bit too bla-di-bla for my taste but whatever...

This tune was sounding so dramafree and happy-go-lucky that I decided to write some (uncharacteristically) dramafree and happy-go-lucky lyrics. The sound at the beginning is from my Nokia-phone which I also use as my alarmclock. I was then reminded…

I came up with lyrics for the backing track that ended up as Reset Your Head Again, but since I had grown to dislike that backingtrack I decided to just play the song with guitar and voice.
