To accompany our most recent podcast episode 'Making of an Album Episode 3: Alternative Writing Techniques' we decided to throw together a song using our new improv squared method of song construction. The song we put together was this one, 'The More You Learn, The Less You Know'.

Nick and Andy improvised a 3 minute dirty track, then they layered over the top of it with another improv. Then the track was bounced and Andy went away and wrote some lyrics to go with it (see below for full lyrics). The boys then recorded the vocals, Nick mixed and mastered the track, and Tada! full song made in a couple of sessions.

The video was done in a similar fashion, we had recorded ourselves making the song, so all we did was just overlay it all over itself, pretty weird but quite effective we thought.

As promised earlier, here are the full lyrics

THE MORE YOU LEARN, THE LESS YOU KNOW by Andy Jackson

From the pedestal, always poised to fall Dust off, trust cost cuts take it all Down the drain, round the bend in a fuddle Bruised and beaten and in need of a cuddle Spell checking out the witch, stitch in time On the line served straight up with a lime Hit the cooks books for a fresher look Let the knowledge marinade into every nook

Life sets the test, we have a go The more you learn, the less you know Since we exist, let’s try to grow The more you learn, the less you know It’s ups and downs, a wild show The more you learn, the less you know The more you learn, the less you know

Nurse the purse string theory nothings happening Waste resources reinforces this recycling No certainty on survival guaranteed Malnutrition breeds servants to the corporate greed

Life is the test, let’s have a go The more you learn, the less you know No one knows best, it’s afterglow The more you learn, the less you know Through ups and downs we live the show The more you learn, the less you know The more you learn, the less you know

Stacking A grades while the memory fades Got stats but the facts always misbehave Plot points got this map in a muddle So confused now I’m in need of a cuddle

We passed the test, we’re good to go The more you learn, the less you know Place the bets, go with the flow The more you learn, the less you know Get Joel and Mike, call Tom and Crow The more you riff , the less you groan Fight or flight, or toe to toe The more you learn, the less you know The more you learn, the less you know The more you learn, the less you know
