05.19.2009: KTHB: A life’s Project – Part I

I’m here writing openly about the feeling of finishing my first album. I study music theory since 1992, when I joined some drums classes with my late friend Cabeça. We’ve met at High School and we’ve decided to create a band. The biggest problem we faced was that we both felt an fatal attraction to the drums.

Classes took me almost 2 months, but the band never really happened because it’s impossible to start a band with two drummers.

Then other bands came. Almost Some was the one that had a longer life, it worked for 3 years. Then Cumulus Nimbus came and after that, Jimi Crowley was created.

The first songs that were part of KTHB were written during the Almost Some period, in 98/99. At that time, Nine Inch Nails was releasing The Fragile and I already had a song with the same name. I thought it was a huge coincidence and I decided to abandon that song, so people wouldn’t think that I was doing that on purpose. Before anyone says something: no, this song doesn’t belong in KTHB, but maybe I can try to work with it later on.

The Kill the Human Being’s concept is about mother nature turning herself against human beings. Human Test I is the sound of the planet after the “cleaning”.

Human Test II talks about the savage days that we live in today. There’s no respect inside our society as a whole. Each person is owner of a piece of land and wants to invade other people’s lands. However, the same person doesn’t want to have his space invaded. That’s the reason for the line “the earlier days are back”. There are so many cases in the history of humanity that talk about invasion of territories, people taking something for themselves that never belonged to them, and that’s exactly what happens when something is stolen from you: someone is taking something from you. Something that you had to work hard in order to obtain.

We Are Not Special is about a child’s thoughts about her future as a human being. She knows she’ll be shaped, maybe by relatives or friends, into becoming an evil person. She wants to see a dog dying in front of her, she wants to build things to destroy them later. This is like the demolition of buildings and houses for the construction of malls or what else. Somebody built something that someone else came to destroy. Have you ever thought about what will happen to your home in the next few years? That painted wall, Just the way you like it, will be painted in a different way by another person or can even be demolished. It’s your dream that comes undone simply because someone else bought that house and doesn’t want that “ugly” wall anymore.
