The second last day of Turbo Ocho has yielded I Can Drink The Water. A really cool song with an absolutely awesome groove. Kinda in the vein of Loco To Stay Sane (and I'm sure it'll attract the same criticism [confused] ). I'm not sure that it's about anything, but that could just be my Spanish not being up to scratch enough to work out what is going on in the verses.

This is a great example of how a song doesn't need to save the whales to be a good song. With No More Beautiful World, it's easy to lose sight of that somewhat - in that not having any huge emotional connection with the majority of the songs, which tends to leave you screaming "write a song that means something!". But it's really so much more than that, and I Can Drink The Water really illustrates that, 'cause it doesn't seem to be about anything, but is a great song. I think the difference is emotion and heart, which the music is full of.

Today's video was great, and the guys goofing off in the supermarket with the song as the soundtrack is brilliant. If the guys were to do a video for the song, this would be perfect for it. A Peacemakers video. What a foreign idea borne from a foreign language. But it'd be fucking cool!
