Colab - new alternative music

Some of our songs start with a lyric, others with an idea for a melody. Rarely do they start with a sample, but 'Judgement' is an exception to that rule. Listening to some old New Order tunes one day I had one of those moments where your mind suddenly envisages an entirely new song around a few bars of the tune. The first lyric, 'My judgement is poor' sprang to mind straight away and I started constructing the new song. An e-piano riff was next, which seemed to compliment the sample perfectly and gave the song a really jamming, slightly bluesy feel. Where to go next? The construction of lyrics was a bit like a word-association test from this point on: 'My judgement is poor.....but even though I saw......you look into her eyes....I couldn't spot your lies'. Miracuously, there seemed to be some content in that, and the themes of the song grew from there.
