7 Deadly Sinz - Pride

Most people don't recognize the musical ground Chap was breaking when he created the world's first acoustic, acappella song with no lyrics, Love Match. Yes, you read that correctly.

acoustic - music with no electric instruments
a cappella - music using no instruments but vocals

In today's musical landscape, there are bands whose entire catalog have built upon the foundation Chap laid with Love Match (Naturally 7 comes to mind). As would be a common theme throughout his career, Chap was too far ahead of his time, and once again it was Sid to the rescue. Having recently returned from a getaway trip to Amsterdam, Sid sat down and penned a lyrical tone poem that blended perfectly with Chap's vocal stylings - 8mm was added to the title, and the final piece of the 7 Deadly Sinz puzzle was placed. The closing track on that masterful album represented PRIDE:

8mm Love Match

Between my thumb and finger
A thread of brittle celluloid grows cold

See how she runs
Spinning wheels
feed and catch
Fast or slow
no place to go

Within the small viewfinder
My longing love she looks to me

What was her name
I’ve just lost track
She never speaks
And some would say
I’ll never have her back

But they can’t possibly understand
How it feels when she’s in my hand
She’s my
eight-millimeter
love match

She’s my threaded love machine
My tiny movie queen
She’s like nothing you’ve ever seen

And though I may never haver her back
you can't take away the burned in memory
of my eight-millimeter love match
