Singled Out: Colt 45's O.K.
. OK is a song about life. A song about growing up, a song about changing your opinions. A couple of years ago I had the view that life was a real struggle and always would be. Coming from a musician it's pretty clich�, but for me life had always been a bit of a drag - it's had been boring and I'd never been happy with the cards I was dealt. Then one day, oddly, it started to look like they were going my way. COLT 45 was playing shows most nights and we gained more interest than we ever thought we would! I moved into a new flat and met someone I had an instant connection with. Someone who made me think and feel things completely different to how I had in the past. I'm always at my most honest in the music that COLT 45 have made. I suppose the songs are kinda like little snapshots into my life, my thoughts at a certain point in time, and O.K. is no different. Musically, the song came from an idea Adam showed me. He had the guitar riff and a few chords. Then when I sat down and started playing the riff I already had the idea for the melody in my head but hadn't used it and it fit perfectly. The rest pretty much wrote itself - I took the 'blueprint' into the practice room and we all worked on the arrangement and dynamics until we were happy. It was quite a quick one to write to be honest! Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself as you watch the video here and learn more about the band and their new album right here!
