about

I sampled a cool orchestral passage and modified it to play a melody I liked. I then played funky piano over it to give the song life (I was listening to a lot of Primal Scream that week). The chorus was taken from another song I did for the second album that I never could finish. I loved the harmonies and the chorus of the old song, but the rest was shit. So, I had my mind set on putting those parts into this new song. Which wasn't easy considering it was in a totally different key. I couldn't sing some of the harmonies (to high) so I asked AM-R to sing the parts while I sang the verses.This was also the first time there is french lyrics in one of my songs. The lyrics are inspired by a Bree Olsen interview I heard on Howard Stern in which she said she would just pick random strangers to have sex with in public. The song is about a woman who gets out of a crashed limo and has sex with a stranger on the street.

lyrics

You don't have a heart of stone
Feeling alone
Your limo crashed
Using your feet
City's dark
can't sleep
Driver died
Meat and bones
Can't go home
You take a stranger's hand
Place them on land

Des caresses etrangeres
Je te donne mon rouge a levre
L'ombre est notre cage
L'idee de pas s'evader

Des etrangers
That's all we are

A duty to perform
Been doing it since you were born
Shot it out wasn't fair
He was aiming for your hair

L'amour s'acheve
Des regrets de mauvaise incertitudes
Une manque de tendress
Tu as couper mon vagin avec ton ongle

Stranger

We are
