Written and Recorded in 1991

This tune was written in the autumn of 1991, being inspired by some incidents took place during a night-out with some of my mates at that time. It was coincided with the revival movement of guitar-band music in the club scene and a girl, who introduced me to the music of Stone Roses, played a certain role at the incidents of the night.
Within a week or two, after the night-out, I thought it would be appropliate to make a reaction to the incidents and it resulted in writing and recording of this piece of music.
My intention was to combine a couple of elements of music from what they take as 'new' and what I embrace as 'genuine', and as for the latter, I picked up the elements of music from Syd Barrett and The Pink Floyd in their early days.

The song later became a repertoire of my band called Culotte from 1993 onward and was played live for countless times. In the band version, the mechanic guitar intro became more aggressive and the jam section in the end was usually extended for five to ten minutes.

For making this video, I combined the original mix I made in 1991 and instrumental remix made from the same master tape. For enhancing the visual aspect, I used a private video that captured a dancing figure of a girl called Nancy, with whom I went to a night-out shortly before the editing of this work.
