This song idea has been around a long time - I think I originally recorded its grand-daddy when Extreme was still popular... Anyway, it’s been through a number of iterations before ending up here. To me, this song is two things: It’s a bunch of different styles combined into something that I think works well together. I drew on a number of my influences, from rock, R&B, even those horn bands from the ‘70s, and fused it together. And it’s also a metaphor for how we, as humans of all different races and backgrounds, each bring something different to the table, and if we chose to, we could work together and create something...
