Notes

From the Anthology: WHY: Questions on top of questions, that's the theme of this song. It's got a "rock meets old school hip-hop" rhythm track that sets this stage for a plaintive, searching melody harmonized in an unusual way that keeps building all the way to the end. The blend of Bongo Bob's electronic drums, Gregg's acoustic drums and Paulinho Da Costa's percussion is so cool. This one took about three years in four studios to perfect, but it was well worth it.
