Ati: What is the background of this song?
Stephen: Aaron wrote this jam type riff when we were writing the songs for the demo. We thought it would be really fun to record so we did. Since it wasn't the type of song we wanted to vocals on Aaron suggested the idea of having a sample run throughout it. Since at the time Aaron, Izzy and myself were really into "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" we thought that the scene in which they meet and talk to Socrates would be perfect. It was both lighthearted and with a quote like "the only true wisdom comes in knowing that you know nothing" profound. That's why we chose it.

Ati: Do you have any books or movies that have been especially inspiring you when you write a lyric?
Stephen: A couple books that have been especially inspiring to me are: "When Things Fall Apart" by Pema Chodren, "Mountains Beyond Mountains" by Tracey Kidder and Dharma Paths by Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche. Those books have, among others, have been very inspiring. Not for a specific song but just in general.
