Victor Reynolds had this incredible jazzy-funky track on which he had played and recorded everything. A great songwriter and Da-drummer man! At the time I was trying to add lyrics and vocals, the whole vampire thing was getting bigger and I had an old lyric note that said "Energy Vampire". So I took the idea of someone trying to suck all the positive energy out of you "with all your negativity" and went with that story line. The cool groove Victor set seems to work with it well, and Axel did his finishing touches. In fact, Axel and I met at IPR while I was recording the vocals; the rest is fun-in-motion.
