Yes, I understood that :(

I was wondering more about the meaning of this title, which can influence how to listen to the track.

My first interpretation was: he wants to make funk music, but without succes, then he wonders why.

My second interpretation was: he questions his listeners about what distinguishes his music from funk music.

My third interpretation was: maybe it's not about funk music, but the word funk is used as synonymous with fear, making the title more difficult to understand.

That's why I asked "what about track title?".

Lol man, I primarily named it as a tribute to Van Halen's "Why Can't This be Love?". I also named it what I did from a sense of exploring a more disco/funky style. I suppose the meaning of the title is what you make of it... ;)

Oooh. This sounds good. :D

From 33 secs to 1:03 secs, I realised you were on to something.

But, as 1:51 to 2:23 secs and 3:28 secs onward started playing.
I was like, Wooah Ho Ho!! Gasp! This sounds super freakin' cool man. O.O
Love the loudness, the sound and the bass of it too. 8-)

You're on a roll, with this one. :D
