Overview
"Around the World" is an instrumental derived from the Daniel Brummel and the Contraband song "If I Only Had Some Courage". The spoken audio at the beginning of the song is from a foreign-language radio station that one of the band member's amps picked up during the recording of the album.[1] Brummel said of the song's title:
|
The sequential chord progression in the B section proceeds around the diatonic harmony by bass motion in fifths — a “circle of fifths” type progression. When I first showed it to Ryen, when we hit that section, he said “around the world!” which I connected via wordplay to the Jules Verne novel, in the same playful sense of “one-upmanship” that gave us “Rock and Roll Part Three.”
