The Company Of Wolves Part 2


Part 1 of The Wolfmen's blow-by-blow guide to their new album is right here..

Jackie Says



Chris Constantinou
Lyrically inspired by a Jack the Ripper thing - a sort of love song that
Jack may have sung, and a chance to play harmonica, which I hadn't played
since school.Killler Marco guitar riffs on this one! And great drums by Swizzy aka Daniel Strittmatter.

Cecilie



CC
This is obviously a love song! Yes! And I got a chance to play flute on it too which was fun. We were trying to get the feel of 'Crosstown Traffic' on the chorus riff so I used a kazoo along with some distorted high vox doubling the guitar riff. Groove-wise we were trying to get 'Crosstown Traffic' and 'Fool's Gold' ... probably came out nothing like that, but I really like this song a lot.

Wak This Bass



CC
Lyrics were inspired by a manager who was driving me f***ing mad !! Ha ha ha - I love the vibe of this one - and it's so good to play live. Re the harp solo - I was thinking of 'Groovin' With Mr. Bloe' (the 70's harp instrumental) . Recorded this live at Raezor and Steve Musters mixed it. Great drumming by swizzy.

If You Talk Like That



CC
Started off at me and Marco's - Dave Ruffy and partner worked
on it. Again lyrics inspired by certain types of annoying music biz
people :-)

Je T'aime Madame



Marco Pirroni
After a trip to Paris and a visit to a big record shop on the Champs-Elysees we noticed that everything sung in French sounds cool and also that all songs in French contain the word "fumée" espiacally the works of Alain Bashung

CC
Lyrics are inspired by strolls down to St Paul's from my flat at the Angel on Sundays - recorded this live at Raezor and Steve Musters mixed it ..
