    Steel And You

     "Steel and You" is the name of a Gary Numan song that I like, sort of about a machine that keeps you alive. His song is a heavy guitar thing from his early days. I already had a song called "Flint on Steel" leftover from an earlier collaboration. Also, Beryllium Zinc has that line "cold blue steel case shroud my face" -- it's about a man who has been Darth Vaderized, part man, part machine. And also I am part machine. I have a cobalt chromium steel hip and thigh bone. So I thought I'd make a man/machine kind of theme out of it. Part of the "man"/machine theme is humanity, and having what we need to live. We need people and we want people, and sometimes we need machines.
