Bloody Sunday is an unauthorized version of the U2 classic and it reeks of sample theft - YEP I SAID IT - so giving it up Danger Mouse style is really the only viable option of releasing it. We wrote it for Fritz Radio Berlin - their Sunday show. We were invited to do a live session with Robot back in the The Tape vs RQM days, and like all other guests asked to do a cover of Bloody Sunday. The cover turned into its own song organically. On a musical tip I would say it builds on the Glitch foundation but pushes into the Pop realm at least some and tastefully. Lyrically it's my tribute to that toxic Rock N Roll type of relationship that swings on the extremes and burns out quick. The first verse:

"Bloody Sunday - Bad liver/She on a runway - didn't see her till Monday/Both loving the High ways the High life the High rise - Never Mind the price/We in Nirvana -Sugar and Spice Girl give me your Drama/Smash the cellie - Now Baby holler/Inhale me like a snowflake through a Dollar/Crisp Bills - Cris. spills/Girl you take the edge off this Evil/Girl I need You - So bring over your Sugar I'm uh lead you into my High life/We'll look out my High rise with Blood-shot eyes and see the Sun rise/It'll be beautiful Really - Lost souls Addicted to each other - getting High off of this Bad Love Chemistry

There are a few references to Nirvana in the song. There s more in the second verse and the C-Part. And yo..funny enough I was reading up on Kurt Cobain today, who's life has been fascinating me recently(I missed the 90s madness chewing on Biohazard and Sick of It All etc) and it turns out that he was born on February 20th!!! Consider this a Birthday tribute to man, who's trials and problems represent those of a lot of artists today. RIP
