Bootleg series. Throughout each month, we’ll post cool, new, and
often-exclusive tracks right here for you to hear before anyone else.
This installment is a rare acoustic version of “So What I Lied”
Australian hard rockers Sick Puppies. The electric version appears on
their current album, Tri-Polar (Virgin). Bassist Emma Anzai was kind enough to fill us in on this version below.
REVOLVER What’s this song about? What was the inspiration?
EMMA ANZAI
The song is about people conforming to society and society’s so called
standards. People seem to get stuck in a mold and can’t seem to get
themselves out of it, so basically its a song to relieve that
frustration!
Why did you record this acoustic version?
We actually start writing all our songs as acoustic songs first because
our motto is, “If they sound good with just the bare bones, then we
know they will translate as full electric songs.” “So What I Lied” felt
great this way so we made an acoustic version.
Which version do you like better?
Probably the electric version because it best represents what we are as
a live band and also because we love the rhythmical aspect of the song
in electric form, although we do like the acoustic version, also!
What sort of feedback have you gotten on this song so far?
We’ve had a lot of people come up to us and say its their favorite song
because of the way they relate to it; however it seems to mean
different things to different people depending on where they’re at in
their life.
