NAILED: This is very easy song to explain. I think that everyone can identify with the feeling of having an argument with a loved one or a family member, or even a good friend, and just feeling like no matter what you say, you are being misunderstood. When no-one seems to be listening, when you are screaming at each other in a violent, destructive way and getting absolutely nowhere.....thats what this song is about. I love the way the track's chord structure is really simple, and the samples we used drive the song into a very emotional place. One of my favorites.

Starbucks whipped up a lot of excitement last June when they offered java fans a side of "Memory Almost Full," an album by a little known artist named Paul McCartney. The album debuted on the charts at No. 3 and the buzz was steaming that Starbucks' Hear Music might just revolutionize the music industry. The only problem is that when customers were offered music from musicians that didn't happen to be a key member of the biggest selling band in the history of universe, the customers opted to buy lattes instead. Maybe they thought they'd sell more coffee to customers if they put out a sleep inducing album from Kenny G? Here is the official PR word on this big change:
