Johnny Headband - Funktionslust

Those of us lucky enough to have met brothers Keith and Chad Thompson know that happiness is indeed underrated.  “Funktionslust" is a song of discovery where Chads arrangement guides the listener on a profound journey.  There was talk of a video where the band would play Vikings crossing the ocean to discover the New World.  With that in mind I wanted to keep the verse and pre-chorus tight and anxious.  Chad had already established the dreamy vocal in tracking, so I wanted the other vocals to come across as almost claustrophobic.  The way one might feel crossing the ocean in a tiny boat with Chad and Keith Thompson dressed as Vikings.
