Tricky - “Hakim”
This is one of those situations where I didn’t have a name for the song so I just named it after the singer. Hakim is (Algerian rai superstar) Rachid Taha’s guitarist. Apparently, Rachid’s been looking for me for years. So he tracked me down in Paris and we just started hanging out. He came down to the studio with Hakim and we did some songs. And Hakim just did this one while he was hanging around waiting for something to happen. I was only recording it to check the levels on his guitar! I listened to it after our day in the studio and I was like, “Fuck!” I haven’t got a clue what he’s on about. But he told me that it was about how that mad homeless guy on the street we all meet actually knows more than we do.
