The song 'The Whistle' could be influenced, among other things, by: Traffic rhythms, Buffalo Springfield and The Wildweeds' backing vocals, Ian Underwood's Hot Rats clarinet arragements, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Stereolab's songs skeletons, Canterbury Sound!, The Amps' sound for acoustic drumming, Mark Sandman's vocals... and a melody from the Rolling Stones that became a track, here taking another path as a part of a new song.
lyrics
Blow your whistle when you're glad
to be there and now
and want me to be with you
to enjoy your feelings
You know that I would ride
You know my magic horse can fly over space and time
Blow your whistle when you're sad
and you need someone
who knows how to make you smile
to bring you colours
You know that I would sail
You know the ocean and the whale are among my friends
Yes, if you blow with your soul
it's sure that I will show
'cause my heart quivers
just with your sounds
whistle for you and me
Blow your whistle when you're mad
and you're breaking
all the walls in the party nights
that you make sunny
You know that I would jump
You know I got a train of fun searching for the sun
Yes, if you blow with your soul
it's sure that I will show
'cause my heart quivers
just with your sounds
'cause my heart baby
quivers with you
whistle for you and me
