Bobby and I decided to create a song that represents a source of new energy for us. Nine Lives’ captures our vision in an impeccable way, to honestly say who we are and what we do. The track is a tool against threatening ideas, the ones that are constantly involving us in society’s sordid games. We believe we always need to be ready to act with creativity as we feel every blow we receive. Instead of accepting feelings of dismay, as if we’ve been kicked, we realized that we are paying to sacrifice (instead of living) our dreams, so we decided to stay authentic.
