Did you ever like, oh, what if we made a reggae song that would fit Tony Hawk, for example? Did that ever happen?
14:03
Yeah, I think it was perhaps in the back of the mind, like with the Goldfingers and those sort of pop ska bands that were around, that were popular.
14:12
It sort of influenced the music, even though it was sort of a mixed relation with video games in the group as a whole.
14:21
Like, David, you stop geeking out, play the bass.
14:25
Like, it was a mix there in the band, but to some extent, for sure like trying to bring in some synth parts as well but i think it also goes back to like me liking games like start tropics that is very sort of reggae ish so it's always been been a part of of um of the music that i grew up around um But then when I finally moved out of Nyköping and I moved to Gothenburg in 2008, something like that, I studied music at something called Folkhögskola, like not a super serious school, but you were allowed to play music all day for one year.
15:15
where I met up with a lot of musicians from around Sweden as well and got to play a lot.
15:21
And we decided to move to Gothenburg, a bunch of us, in 2008.

And since you kind of look back and use Mega Man as a reference as well, before you even got to this specific track, maybe you don't remember, but maybe you do, like, were you already looking into the references of Mega Man before going into this specific track?
