I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell - June 25, 2008
This song is so fucking good!
We just got home from Houston, and I think we listened to the song Paul did about 100 times on the drive back. It's so fucking good. I can't even process it yet, how good it is.
It's weird--Nils and I sat down, banged these lyrics out in no time (actually, it was almost all Nils work), drove down to Houston, went to Paul's managers studio, and Paul laid the vocals in no time (actually, it was 18 minutes total from the time he went into the sound booth to when be came out--dude is just a fucking pro). We left Houston with the song on fucking CD, basically done. And it is SICK! Shit just isn't supposed to work like this, be this easy.
Actually--what am I saying? I have busted my ass for six years to get here. Nevermind, I am so punch drunk happy about this song I can't even think straight.
I would totally release it for free right now, but obviously I can't, it would spoil the whole thing. I know it sucks that all I can do it talk about a song and not play it, but I am so excited I had to do something. I can't just sit here bumping this song pissing off the neighbors all night.
The very best part: Of the two songs we wrote for Paul, this was the second best. Wait until we get the other one recorded (we couldn't do it this time for a reason, but will do it soon).
I'll leave you with this email Bunny sent me after hearing the song:
"You know, sometimes I forget about how enormous this movie is going to be, mainly because it's you guys doing it, and I've just been around you all the time for so long, I'm so used to how funny you guys are.
But man. When I hear your writing rapped by Paul Wall, it just seems surreal, and I think "Dear god, these boys are going to rule the world." I'm so excited for you guys. You're going to fucking explode."
Goddamn right!
