I like "The Business" a lot. It makes me think of Cozy [Powell, drummer, who recently passed away]. Cozy was such a huge part of what I was doing all this time. He always reminded me of where the center of pure rock music was and I miss him very badly. It is impossible to replace him. He was such an amazing guy, very down-to-earth. He cared about every hit and there was a passion in his every hit. There was a thoughtfulness and a glorious oneness about him. He wasn't acting, he was that person and he moved in that way. He was the real thing and there isn't going to be another one of him. I like "The Business" because he was a big part of making it happen and I built stuff around his sound and feel. It was a great combination for me: I love the sound of my guitar with his drums, they're both very broad. I was very lucky to have that experience.
[the part of the song being a part of TV programme] Actually, more than that I think, quite a while ago. Yes, I did some fragments. This song, I common with a lot of other tracks on my whole album, was initially inspired from the outside. I got all these little kind of commissions and triggers and inspirations from outside, and this was a TV thing, yes. They asked me to write song about this guy who basically gets up every morning and tries his best and always tried new angles, but he never quite makes it, he's like the eternal optimist but the eternal loser. So, erm, I wrote them some fragments which they used for the TV series, and then I started to realise that I was writing about myself, you know, as always is the case. You're always drawing on something inside yourself, and so I developed the song and worked on it and it eventually became this thing called the Business. It features Cozy very heavily, as you probably can tell.
