Background to our Songs: TWIRL
Written by Jimmy
It’s a complete nonsense. The band was really good in Spain during the Summer Jam. Lew had joined and brought a blues/country feel to things. Andy was in a rocking mood with his red shoes. Mike was ready to try new styles. So, there was a huge desire to do rock-a-billy. And they needed lyrics. Sort of. They were just going to rock out regardless.
So it is all about ‘That’s What I Really Love,’ which is TWIRL when you’re writing song titles in Pro Tools. Andy’s on lead and the whole band is jumping around instruments. Like King of the Biosphere, the band was going to do what the band was doing and Andy just needed words. We did this the very first day of the 2010 summer jam, when we were just warming up. We never touched the take, because we loved it.
Rob has pointed out that this is second song on the album named after English Confectionery.
