'I've An Idea' is built around two unrelated musical ideas I've had kicking around for years; a rhythm guitar chord progression and a lead guitar riff. The 'whistling theme' originated from a bit of noodling on the guitar in 2015; it spent the next five years as 'Riff Number 1'. The main chord progression dates back to 1992 and bore the title 'I've An Idea' right from the start. It wasn't until early 2021 that I hit on the idea of combining the two. The rest of the arrangement came together very quickly after that and I completed it in one day, recording the initial demo straight away.
