Entirely shot lens less (pinhole) to give that dramatic vibe. This song is about a guy who killed family members so he wouldn't ever have to worry about money again. Based on a true story.

Lyrics :
Oh Caligula, you really wanted the money
Caligula, you’ll never have to worry
Oh Caligula you thought that it would set you free
They say you used to really like to repeat
« Remember that I have the right to do anything to anybody »

You told them, that you were born selfish
And I tell you, I don’t believe this shit
So why do you insist
You keep saying it’s your mother’s fault,
She wanted you to have absolute power over others

Oh Caligula, you really wanted the money
Caligula, you’ll never have to worry
Oh Caligula you thought that it would set you free
They say you used to really like to repeat
« Remember that I have the right to do anything to anybody »

Oh Caligula, you really wanted the money
Caligula, you’ll never have to worry
Oh Caligula you thought that it would set you free

This song was inspired by a case I was working on. The guy killed family members so he wouldn’t ever have to worry about money again. From planning to executing, the whole process was explained in details and it haunted me for a while.

He was idolizing Caligula, a Roman Emperor known for his legendary cruelty. During his reign, he had many of his family members executed. Like many murderers, Caligula had a very troubled childhood filled with violence. He sometimes claimed to be a god and one of his favorite quote was “remember that I have the right to do anything to anybody”. Our guy was in that same state of mind.

The song was mixed by Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Timber Timbre, Beirut, Owen Pallett) at the studio he shares with Arcade Fire in Montreal. It was recorded in my home studio and also in my childhood house in the country.
