A Million Degrees tracklist | |
1234 is the second song on the album A Million Degrees by Emigrate.
Background
- The song features Benjamin Kowalewicz from Billy Talent.
- Zwo is a German dialect of Zwei (two).
- The song already existed in 2015, according to Margaux Bossieux.
- In a track-by-track interview with Kerrang!, Richard said the following about the song:[1]
There’s a rockabilly feel to 1234, it has that ’50s/’60s rock’n’roll vibe to it. All of the guitar solos you hear came out of the demos. Those first takes always sounded better, even if I would try spending more time on them. I didn’t really have Billy Talent in mind for this song, it was actually my manager who asked me how I felt about doing the collaboration. I wasn’t so sure about it, but when I heard Ben singing over it, there was this punky fire that the song actually needed. That fire is actually why we ended up recording it as a live performance.
