TURN IT UP (T. Kerns/R. Shimozawa)

This song answers the lifelong question, 'How does it feel?' I suppose the answer would be 'Who cares? Turn it up, Dammit!'
This song has variations from it's original appearance on my solo album. We added a modulating section that highlight's Brent's great, slinky guitar solo.
That's a gang of us shouting in the background including the band and co-producer, Kurt Frohlich.
That's me reading the PSA over the bass re-intro. I just googled the effects of loud music on hearing, printed it out, read it and pitch transposed my voice.
I have credited that warning to Professor C. Merrill Devereaux, Acting Chairman of the Turn It Down Committee. It's like one of those cheesey 80's video where it's supposed to be in the future and some evil force has banned rock music. This is how I occupy my time...It's no surprise that the bad guy on KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park is named Devereaux.


Turn it up now
I gotta feel it
Need it to hit me like a punch in the face
Turn it up now
My teeth chatter
Like a kick in the crotch from the bass

How does it feel?
Turn it up, turn it up
How does it feel?
Turn it up, turn it up
Come on and make it real
Turn it up, turn it up
How does it feel?

Turn it up now
We can't take it
We need to drown in your violent noise
Turn it up now
Come on, DJ
Keep it hummin' for the girls and the boys
