    The story behind the song:
    Each time we write/arrange a tune we take a journey. We have to admit-this journey took us a lot further than we expected. Retracing our steps reveals several factors that made this a reality. As we started arranging it we had serious writer's block. Perhaps some of the worst we've ever had. In fact, one day instead of writing we went around the entire studio with a can of WD-40 and coated every piece of metal to ensure that we were a squeak-free studio.

    We'd like to thank from the bottom of our hearts, Duane Fielding who offered the helicopters and SkyHawk www.skyhawkhelicopters.com for not dropping the piano... :-) Half-way through the first day of shooting we discovered that, as typical guys, we had forgotten to bring ANY food or water to this remote location. We had two options: one, wrestle a mountain rodent and harvest cacti or two, starve. Duane, our head pilot, took pity on us. He took off (literally) and moments later landed in a Wendy's parking lot, ordered 5 of everything (sadly, he couldn't use the drive-through) ...took off again and brought us chicken sandwiches and hamburgers via airmail. Thank you Duane! Flying in your helicopter was a dream come true for us despite the lack of doors. =)

When I used to play the violin as a kid, I wanted to play music from the movies, like star wars. I never got to play what I wanted to, and lost interest. These guys make me wanna play again. They play things that make them happy, not because some teacher wants to play old classical stuff.

      ***** Your actually right. Just checked on Wikipedia. He was actually born in England but spent his early childhood in Nigeria and afterwards back in England. I thought he was South African since he refers to the Swahili language in the beginning of this video and I detect a heavy African accent when he sings some words, which is strange if he grew up in England.
