Tom Busby said "We used to call this song 'The Chase' which is ironic because it is basically about hanging around the same spot waiting and hoping for a good thing to come into play.. It was the last song written for the album and it was penned in the studio in record time. There was a girl in mind at the time but she hung around for about as long as it took to write.

We asked our producer if we could go back home to Yeppoon to record it because it was a bit difficult living out of a motel room for a couple of weeks recording. So we went back home and it was the best move, it was so relaxed, we were there for a couple of weeks, we already had the songs nutted out so we were just laying tracks down, laying the vocals down, and Jeremy with the guitar and bass work – so great process and great fun, and we got to stay at home as well and catch up wit ...

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
