Here's an extensive track by track analysis from Pocket Revolution. It's based on various source. If you have extra info, just send me an e-mail and I will add it.
Bad Timing
last song they wrote. A miracle according to Tom recorded on a lazy sunday afternoon everyone was enthusiastic after recording it ,,It sucks you into the record" inspired by the movie Bad Timing first title was Everything you need, you'll get from here (the final scene from the movie) one of Tom's all-time dEUS-favorites old-school dEUS originally a very quiet, melodic song, recorded more up-tempo because Tom had the feeling the album had too few real rocksongs
7 days, 7 weeks
written by Tom and Craig written for his sister and all people who went to bad periods since a couple of years Tom is closer with his sister first single, although it's not their choice. ,,The recordcompany should sell it, so they pick the singles" ,,I couldn't have written this 6 years ago'' ,,a difficult one to sing"
Stop start nature
first they wanted to record everything live, but it sucked, so they did it the old dEUS-way typically dEUS-multi-layered song has grown each day baseline by CJ Bolland, chorus has some Beefheart in it lyrics are self-relativating will be a killer live If you don't get what you want
remixed with Tim Vanhamel doing something on the guitar in the beginningthe UK wants to release it as a regular single Tom is happier with the new mix much punchier and tenser than the 2004-mix recorded the way they play it live
What we talk about
Inspired by Some Kinda Love from Velvet Underground. Tom wanted also a simple song about love title comes from the novell by Raymond Carver with CJ adding some effects one of the favorites during last year's tour the voice in the beginning is Tom's voice slowed down
Include me out
intro is the second miracle: Tom wanted a radio in it. They didn't find one in the studio (although there was loads of gear). They digged one up in the cellar and the first thing they heard on the middlewave was an English documentary about the first spaceship. First sentence they could record was ,,Hello from the children of planet Earth). Perfect because they had chosen the artwork at that moment. Tom's favorite he's very proud of it also called Firewinds at a certain moment Guy Van Nueten on piano written in a difficult period Tom doesn't know what it's about: ,,I'll find out''
Pocket Revolution
song about broken friendships and the feeling of being stuck also about the departure of Craig and Danny ,,Sister or brother from Zea" reflects the state of mind Tom was in at that time a new style of dEUS with Stef and Radio Candip written right after the break-up last year lyrics are very honest and mean recorded at the same time as Include Me Out a key-song together with Bad Timing
Nightshopping
the first song Tom wrote based on a riff featuring a ,,Suds and soda" by Klaas at the end fantastic hip hop beat by Stephane a sexy and funky song they're gonna play it live like the Beastie Boys play a rocksong about seeing the two sides from everything perfect to play live after Fell Off The Floor, Man
Cold Sun of Circumstance
,,a killer'' recorded with the old line-up riff with two guitars and the violin text are the ten commandments of Tom's live ,,a motherfucker to record" was the opening track until they recorded Bad Timing
The Real Sugar
the slow opposite of If you don't get what you want written with Mark Sandman in mind very melodic and simple was meant to be on the Magnus-album first Tom is proud about the lyrics ‘Baby, I'm trying hard to sound vague’
Sun Ra
vintage dEUS about the thinking that's in your head when you can't sleep fantastic loops by Klaas written by the previous line-up with Stef a rollercoaster
Nothing Really Ends
on the record because it wasn't released in Japan and the States before re-recorded to let the sound fit with the rest of the record the vocals were not re-recorded Bebel Gilberto is considering a coverTom wanted to send it to Johny Cash
Nice work !
But I think it should be :
first title was Everything you need, you'll get from HER (not here) (the final scene from the movie)
