- It's our number one language as human beings.
I can take four people from different cultures and corners of the world that don't speak the same language, that don't have the same culture, I can play them one song and I could probably get all four people to tap their feet to the same beat.

If you listen to the lyrics, it's about meeting a woman in a bar and getting that courage and go on talk to them, but the bigger picture for me is just you have this goal, you have this idea, and then getting the courage to take that first step towards that.
